Beautiful French inspired home on the lake with color infused family room and dining room. Young homeowners looked for tradition with a twist. Bright, bold color in a soft livable environment.

A large gold-framed abstract in greens and cream hangs above a navy sofa dressed with a teal velvet cushion. A white textured ceramic lamp on a brass base sits on walnut nesting tables, with an acoustic guitar propped alongside. A tan leather pouf and a faded red patterned rug warm the dark palette.

While this luxury vinyl flooring is undoubtedly distinctive, it’s hue is not saturated enough to overwhelm the senses. The cultivated beauty and gallantry of Aragon vinyl plank flooring actually comes from the wire-brushed grain, which adorns the surface with tiny streaks of black and white that play off each other perfectly.

This project was such a joy to work on! The Georgian Colonial was home to a young family, whose transitional taste aligned well with their love of neutral palettes with pops of saturated color. See the beautiful transformation! Photography by David Bader

This project was not only full of many bathrooms but also many different aesthetics. The goals were fourfold, create a new master suite, update the basement bath, add a new powder bath and my favorite, make them all completely different aesthetics. Primary Bath-This was originally a small 60SF full bath sandwiched in between closets and walls of built-in cabinetry that blossomed into a 130SF, five-piece primary suite. This room was to be focused on a transitional aesthetic that would be adorned with Calcutta gold marble, gold fixtures and matte black geometric tile arrangements. Powder Bath-A new addition to the home leans more on the traditional side of the transitional movement using moody blues and greens accented with brass. A fun play was the asymmetry of the 3-light sconce brings the aesthetic more to the modern side of transitional. My favorite element in the space, however, is the green, pink black and white deco tile on the floor whose colors are reflected in the details of the Australian wallpaper. Hall Bath-Looking to touch on the home's 70's roots, we went for a mid-mod fresh update. Black Calcutta floors, linear-stacked porcelain tile, mixed woods and strong black and white accents. The green tile may be the star but the matte white ribbed tiles in the shower and behind the vanity are the true unsung heroes.

A classic, elegant master suite for the husband and wife, and a fun, sophisticated entertainment space for their family -- it was a dream project! To turn the master suite into a luxury retreat for two young executives, we mixed rich textures with a playful, yet regal color palette of purples, grays, yellows and ivories. For fun family gatherings, where both children and adults are encouraged to play, I envisioned a handsome billiard room and bar, inspired by the husband’s favorite pub.
