Located on a picturesque setting on Lake Minnetonka, this lakefront home masterfully balances contemporary and traditional sentiments, striving not to design to either extreme. With team collaboration intentions to combine both form and function — and an eye on simple, beautiful and comfortable solutions, this relaxed elegant design approach honors lakeside living that permeates the residence. This Streeter home also blends in beautifully with surrounding classic lake homes that are reminiscent of timeless architecture and craftsmanship found in Europe and Nantucket.

An enchanting mix of rustic and elegant elements, We designed this room around the beautiful pictures that ornament its’ walls. Each photo has a deep meaning for our client, who photographed them while on a trip to New York City with her father. It was there that she was shown the place her parents fell in love: the steps where they would talk for hours, where they first saw each other and experienced that sacred “love at first sight moment”. Inspired by these photos we filtered them in a beautifully sentimental sepia tone. We custom framed these images in thick gold and they became our vision for the room. Following the color ways of the photos, the room carries deep gray and brown tones as well as a pop of purple color with the sofa. Throughout the room we incorporated various finishes of wood, antique brass, lacquer and iron to establish a stunning contrast that became cohesive. We mixed luxurious elements, like the white lacquer candleholders, golden bookends and black chalices atop the more rustic unfinished wooden table to create a beautiful display. The pillows decorating the sofa mixed both textures and finishes from sheen to matte in keeping with the theme of different style elements becoming harmonious. In the two front corners rest chairs of a deeper gray, with a luxe brown throw and golden pillow that further enrich the sepia-tone feel of the photographs. Each element was carefully designed with these photos in mind, to evoke the nostalgic feeling of the images and provide our client and her family a place in which they can relax, reminisce and truly enjoy their time with one another.

Location: Pewaukee, WI, USA For this bathroom renovation, the client did a great job of carrying out the patriotic theme in their decor. Although this is a newer home, the bathroom has a lot of history. The shelving was created from restored shiplap from a vet clinic built in 1893. The mirror was from an antique vanity that was passed down from the client's great grandmother. Now that is sentimental! The basement is super functional with the addition of this full bathroom. Let us know how we can help bring your design goals to life! Property Revision

Our goal with every project is to create a space our clients will love - and we may love this recent #milfordmi kitchen remodel just as much as our clients do! Our own custom @sharercabinetry is featured in rich wood tones, contrasted by light-colored painted upper cabinetry. Double islands, featuring a dramatic waterfall quartz countertop, provide space for every need, from entertaining to multipurpose workspace. A striking custom @sharercabinetry stained maple range hood is offset by a chevron-pattern polished marble tile backsplash. Custom wood ceiling beams add dimension and a warm finishing touch to the space. Our client is “in love with her home again,” - we couldn’t love that sentiment more! #Customremodeling #customcabinetry #michiganmade #kitchenremodel #kitchendesign #designinspo #kitchensofinstagram #kitchen #interiordesign #michigandesigner #loveyourkitchen #clientsfirst #remodel #interiorarchitecture Photos by @stylishdetroit

A clinic in downsizing, this condo is filled with pieces and art that were carefully selected, sentimental and one of a kind. The renovation was intended to stand the test of time, functionally and aesthetically. Having relocated from a much larger property, the client wanted a space that resonated with the urban beauty of Portland's West End. Photos by Erin Little.

Because the clients had sentimental attachment to the backsplash tile, they opted to leave them in. We blended the contemporary products in with the traditional.

Contemporary home in Carmel Valley is looking Simply Stunning after this complete remodeling project. Using a sure-fire combination of neutral toned paint colors, grey wood floors and white cabinets we personalized the space by adding a pop of color in accessories, re-using sentimental art pieces and finishing it off with a little sparkle from elegant light fixtures and reflective materials. www.insatndreamhome.com

This project is a customer case located in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The client's residence is a 100-square-meter house. The client and their family embarked on an entrepreneurial journey in Chiang Mai three years ago and settled down there. As wanderers far from their homeland, they hold a deep longing for their roots. This sentiment inspired the client's desire to infuse their home with a tropical vacation vibe. The overall theme of the client's home is a blend of South Asian and retro styles with a touch of French influence. The extensive use of earthy tones coupled with vintage green hues creates a nostalgic atmosphere. Rich coffee-colored hardwood flooring complements the dark walnut and rattan furnishings, enveloping the entire space in a South Asian retro charm that exudes a strong Southeast Asian aesthetic. The client particularly wanted to select a retro-style lighting fixture for the dining area. Based on the dining room's overall theme, we recommended this vintage green glass pendant lamp with lace detailing. When the client received the products, they expressed that the lighting fixtures perfectly matched their vision. The client was extremely satisfied with the outcome. I'm sharing this case with everyone in the hopes of providing inspiration and ideas for your own interior decoration projects.

The Sereno dining table makes a modern textural statement with cast resin support panels in textured wood grain look in the Sasso finish. They support a wood top with rounded corners in the Lutra finish. Two organic shaped cast resin stretchers with a faux stone texture extend outside the panel on each end for a modern style. Designed with a clean, organic purity, Sereno offers a fresh perspective on modern rustic, combining a palette of tranquil hues with stunning natural materials. Profiles are simplistic and unadorned with softened edges, highlighting the luminous beauty of silver travertine and textural metal. Open frames and intersecting planes create lightness, balance and movement with a sophisticated aesthetic. Woven textiles, tactile wood grain and a tonal palette add a reflective sentiment. The collection has the quiet serenity of warm minimalism and an inviting beauty that blends authenticity with the inherent calm of restrained design.

This bedroom renovation addressed draftiness by insulating behind the antique brick and re-stacking it with lime putty mortar for preservation. Lime plaster highlighted the brick and timber. A custom built-in, crafted from cherry wood inherited from our client’s father, added sentimental value. Natural wool carpet and custom curtains completed the design, merging history with modern functionality for a warm, cohesive finish.

After the Thanksgiving meal, everyone gathers in my client's family room to play games, talk and watch TV. In her family room, the fireplace is the focal point. With this in mind, I've added the sign Gather, to touch upon the sentiment of this holiday and the joy of everyone spending time together.
