Houston Interior Designer Lisha Maxey took this Museum District condo from the dated, mirrored walls of the 1980s to Mid Century Modern with a gallery look featuring the client’s art collection. The place was covered with glued-down, floor-to-ceiling mirrors,” says Lisha Maxey, senior designer for Homescapes of Houston and principal at LGH Design Services in Houston. “When we took them off the walls, the walls came apart. We ended up taking them down to the studs." The makeover took six months to complete, primarily because of strict condo association rules that only gave the Houston interior designers very limited access to the elevator – through which all materials and team members had to go. “Monday through Friday, we could only be noisy from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and if we had to do something extra loud, like sawing or drilling, we had to schedule it with the management and they had to communicate that to the condo owners. So it was just a lot of coordination. But a lot of Inner City Loopers live in these kinds of buildings, so we’re used to handling that kind of thing.” The client, a child psychiatrist in her 60s, recently moved to Houston from northeast Texas to be with friends. After being widowed three years ago, she decided it was time to let go of the traditionally styled estate that wasn’t really her style anyway. An avid diver who has traveled around the world to pursue her passion, she has amassed a large collection of art from her travels. Downsizing to 1,600 feet and wanting to go more contemporary, she wanted the display – and the look – more streamlined. “She wanted clean lines and muted colors, with the main focus being her artwork,” says Maxey. “So we made the space a palette for that.” Enter the white, gallery-grade paint she chose for the walls: “It’s halfway between satin and flat,” explains Maxey. “It’s not glossy and it’s not chalky – just very smooth and clean." Adding to the gallery theme is the satin nickel track lighting with lamps aimed to highlight pieces of art. “This lighting has no wires,” notes Maxey. “It’s powered by a positive and negative conduit.” The new flooring throughout is a blended-grey porcelain tile that looks like wood planks. “It’s gorgeous, natural-looking and combines all the beauty of wood with the durability of tile,” says Maxey. “We used it throughout the condo to unify the space.” After Maxey started looking at the client’s bright, vibrant, colorful artwork, she felt the palette couldn’t stay as muted anymore. Hence the Mid Century Modern orange leather sofas from West Elm and bright green chairs from Joybird, plus the throw pillows in different textures, patterns and shades of gold, orange and green. The concave lines of the Danish-inspired chairs, she notes, help them look beautiful from all the way around – a key to designing spaces for loft living. “The table in the living room is very interesting,” notes Maxey. “It was handmade for the client in 1974 and has a signature on it from the artist. She was adamant about including the piece, which has all these hand-painted black-and-white art tiles on the top. I took one look at it and said ‘It’s not really going to go.’” However, after cutting 6 inches off the bottom and making it look a little distressed, the table ended up being the perfect complement to the sofas. The dining room table – from Design Within Reach – is a solid piece of mahogany, the chair upholstery a mix of grey velvet and leather and the legs a shiny brass. “The side chairs are leather and the end ones are velvet,” says Maxey. “It’s a nice textural mix that lends depth and texture.”The galley kitchen, meanwhile, has been lightened and brightened, with new, white contemporary cabinetry, quartz countertops mimicking the look of Carrara marble, stainless steel appliances and a velvet green bench seat for a punch of color.The two bathrooms have been updated with contemporary white vanities and vessel sinks and the master bath now features a walk-in shower tiled in Dolomite white marble (the floor is Bianco Carrara marble mosaic, done in a herringbone pattern).In the master bedroom, Homescapes of Houston knocked down a wall between two smaller closets with swing doors to make one large walk-in closet with pocket doors. The closet in the guest bedroom also came out 13 more inches.The client’s artwork throughout personalizes the space and tells the story of a life. There’s a huge bowl of shells from the client’s diving adventures, framed art from her child psychiatry patients and a 16th century wood carving from a monastery that’s been in her family forever. “Her collection is quite impressive,” says Maxey. “There’s even a framed piece of autographed songs written by John Lennon.” (You can see this black-framed piece of art on the wall in the photo above of two green chairs). “We’re extremely happy with how the project turned out, and so is the client,” says Maxey. “No expense was spared for her. It was a labor of love and we were excited to do it.”

This project was about creating a luxurious retreat, where aesthetics meet functionality. From a spacious walk-in shower to a sleek freestanding tub, black fixtures, and marble-inspired finishes, this bathroom is truly a piece of art. The Challenge: A Bathroom in Need of Modernization Our client in Langhorne, PA, wanted a bathroom renovation that would maximize space, enhance functionality, and create a modern, elegant atmosphere. The existing bathroom lacked the cohesive design and luxury finishes that the homeowner desired. They envisioned a spacious walk-in shower, stylish vanity, elegant tiling, and a freestanding bathtub that would bring a spa-like feel to their home. BMR Belmax Remodeling was up to the challenge. We focused on layout optimization, high-end finishes, and sophisticated black fixtures to create a space that exudes timeless elegance and modern convenience. The Transformation: A Spacious & Elegant Bathroom Design Our remodeling team executed a complete renovation, incorporating top-tier materials, innovative design elements, and seamless craftsmanship. The result? A stunning, spa-like master bathroom that exceeds expectations. 1. Walk-In Shower with Premium Features Built a spacious 68” x 36” walk-in shower, offering comfort and luxury. Installed beautiful marble-look tiles on the shower walls, adding a sophisticated and timeless aesthetic. Used mosaic tiles for the shower base, enhancing texture, durability, and slip-resistance. Integrated a sleek black shower fixture, creating a striking contrast with the light-colored tiles. Installed a recessed shower light, ensuring proper illumination for a relaxing shower experience. 2. Stunning Marble-Effect Tile Work The entire bathroom features marble-look tiles, creating a high-end and cohesive design. Used white marble-look tiles for the bathroom floor, complementing the shower walls while enhancing the sense of space and brightness. 3. Elegant Freestanding Tub as the Centerpiece Installed a modern black-and-white freestanding bathtub, adding a luxurious spa-like feel to the space. Positioned the tub near the newly painted black-framed windows, creating a stunning visual contrast. Added a sleek black floor-mounted tub filler, blending perfectly with the overall design. 4. Custom Wall-Mounted Double Vanity & Mirrors Installed a double vanity, reconfiguring all plumbing to allow for a floating, wall-mounted design. The wall-mounted vanity enhances floor space and gives the bathroom a modern, airy look. Added matching lighted mirrors, providing both functionality and style. 5. Thoughtful Lighting & Black Accents Installed recessed lighting throughout the bathroom, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. Added an additional light in the shower, ensuring proper visibility and ambiance. Painted all bathroom doors black, complementing the black fixtures and window frames. Installed all bathroom fixtures in black, creating a bold contrast against the marble-inspired tile work. 6. New Windows for a Balanced Aesthetic Installed five new windows, painted black inside and white outside, enhancing both exterior curb appeal and interior elegance. The black window frames create a striking contrast against the light-colored tile walls. The Result: A Luxurious and Functional Bathroom Retreat The completed bathroom renovation in Langhorne, PA, is a stunning masterpiece, blending modern sophistication with timeless luxury. The spacious walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and floating vanity contribute to an elegant, spa-like environment. The combination of marble-look tiles, black fixtures, recessed lighting, and high-end finishes creates a harmonious and visually stunning space. Every design choice was carefully planned and executed to maximize comfort, elegance, and functionality.

Main Line Kitchen Design is a unique business model! We are a group of skilled Kitchen Designers each with many years of experience planning kitchens around the Delaware Valley. And we are cabinet dealers for 8 nationally distributed cabinet lines much like traditional showrooms. Appointment Information Unlike full showrooms open to the general public, Main Line Kitchen Design works only by appointment. Appointments can be scheduled days, nights, and weekends either in your home or in our office and selection center. During office appointments we display clients kitchens on a flat screen TV and help them look through 100’s of sample doorstyles, almost a thousand sample finish blocks and sample kitchen cabinets. During home visits we can bring samples, take measurements, and make design changes on laptops showing you what your kitchen can look like in the very room being renovated. This is more convenient for our customers and it eliminates the expense of staffing and maintaining a larger space that is open to walk in traffic. We pass the significant savings on to our customers and so we sell cabinetry for less than other dealers, even home centers like Lowes and The Home Depot. We believe that since a web site like Houzz.com has over half a million kitchen photos, any advantage to going to a full kitchen showroom with full kitchen displays has been lost. Almost no customer today will ever get to see a display kitchen in their door style and finish because there are just too many possibilities. And the design of each kitchen is unique anyway. Our design process allows us to spend more time working on our customer’s designs. This is what we enjoy most about our business and it is what makes the difference between an average and a great kitchen design. Among the kitchen cabinet lines we design with and sell are Jim Bishop, 6 Square, Fabuwood, Brighton, and Wellsford Fine Custom Cabinetry.

"We have remodeled our kitchen previously with Taylor Pro, and we were so delighted we booked Kerry again to do our bathroom. Most major remodels are a few weeks of construction h***, and this was no exception, but Kerry kept the focus on the schedule and the results. The project was planned for 6 weeks and all work (except punch list) was completed in 7. The result is wonderful! We are delighted with the beauty and functionality of our bathrooms, and we receive complements from our friends. When I showed construction photos to friends at work, some who knew the business praised our constructor and his subs, saying the work was done right and he knows his stuff. Description of work: Major remodel of master bathroom. Changed floor plan, moving fixtures to other side. Removed 3 doors (!) from old bathroom and added one door, turning a shared mess into a high end master bath. Added a powder room." ~ Mary Ann H, Client Photos by: Kerry W. Taylor

This remodel received an incredible update going from dated and drab to clean, sharp lines and modern elegance. The l-shaped perimeter allowed adequate space for all of the necessary appliances, leaving the island full of storage and specialty inserts. While the cabinet finish itself is dark, the addition of light countertops with crisp white walls leaves the space feeling open and airy.
