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.

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.

We always recommend our clients think about how they will use their home in years to come - and that's just what this couple did! They were ready to remodel their master bathroom in their forever home and wanted to make sure they could enjoy it as long as possible. By removing the unused soaking tub, we were able to create a large, curbless walk-in shower with a relaxing area by the window. This master bathroom is the perfect size for this pair to enjoy now and in the future! And they even have extra room to display some of their sentimental art they've collected over the years. We really appreciate the opportunity to serve them and hope they enjoy the space for years to come.

When our clients purchased a brand new home that was already finished, they were excited to start over with new furniture too except for a few family heirloom pieces that had sentimental meaning. So they called on our interior design firm who had worked with them before to solve their design dilemma.

With sweeping views of the Willamette river and Mt. Hood, this Atwater Place condo was designed with a balance of minimalism and livability in mind. A complete kitchen remodel brought a dark interior kitchen to the light and a full furnishings package welcomed Los Angeles transplants home to their new modern and bright residence. Our clients, a retired camera operator for both feature films and television and a producer/production manager on numerous television series including Weeds and The Middle, relocated from their traditionally-styled LA bungalow to Portland in the Summer of 2014. The couple sought a design departure from their long-term California residence and a fresh start for their new life in the South Waterfront. With only two pieces of sentimental furniture and a handful of artwork included in the plan, we set out to create a comfortable and clean-lined furnishings package complimenting the broad southeast views. Organically shaped upholstery pieces juxtaposed with angular steel and wood tables create a soft balance in the open floor plan. Several custom pieces, including a dining table designed by our studio and a custom hand-blown glass chandelier crafted by Scott Schiesel with Lightlite compliment timeless pieces from Knoll, Herman Miller, and B&B Italia. The kitchen is designed to reflect light and create brilliance in a space that is otherwise naturally dark. A material balance of stainless steel, back painted glass, quartz composite, lacquer, and mirror all play their part in creating a vibrant cooking environment. We collectively decided to forgo the traditional island pendant for a linear commercial fixture that provides tremendous light to the prep surface and creates an unexpected architectural element. The mirrored prep island creates the illusion of open space while concealing casework and wine storage on the working side of the kitchen. It is worth noting that this project was designed and installed almost entirely while our clients were still living in LA and wrapping up professional obligations and selling their home. This afforded us the tremendous opportunity to send our clients to showrooms not available in Portland to view key pieces before final specification. Textiles and finish samples were approved via mail and communication took place over e-mail, telephone, and an occasional office visit. This unique process lead to a successful result and a beautifully balanced living environment. Josh Partee Photography

We really do specialize in making custom homes built not only to convey a topic of interest our client wants to emphasize, but also to include sentimental artifacts in functional ways. In this case, we used horns our clients brought home from Africa as handles for doors that open to a foyer. The floor in this foyer is a transition from a light wood floor with dark wood details to a dark wood floor with light wood details.

As featured in New York Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and Brownstoner's weekly design column: New York based interior designer Tara McCauley designed the Park Slope, Brooklyn home of a young woman working in tech who has traveled the world and wanted to incorporate sentimental finds from her travels with a mix of colorful antique and vintage furnishings.

A few playful pops of color alongside streamlined cabinetry and minimal furnishings accomplish the client's wish for a contemporary design that avoids the flatness of being overly modern. This kitchen design balances contemporary and traditional sentiments, while avoiding over designing to one extreme. Clean, white countertops and backsplash complement the warm tones of walnut and zebrawood cabinetry and illustrate how less can truly be more. Photo credit: Ashley Avila

All wrapped up with our projects over here in Sausalito. Another great collaboration with @apartment46 and her stellar eye for bringing various components together in harmony. The barn door was a special challenge; our client wanted to be able to lock the door that leads to the master bedroom upstairs. We used a pocket door lock by cavilock- the CL400, which uses a magnetically activated catch and plunger system for the lock. You can hear it in the video. Such a satisfying “click”. I built the jamb for the barn door to slide into, and for the lock to engage with. Sort of a unique setup for a barn door. @gregdlaird built the door, the shelves, and the lower cabinet. The shelves have L.E.D. Strip lights mounted in a housing, routed into the bottom of each shelf, flush. They operate by a dimmer switch on right alcove wall. The bronze screens in the doors are the same we used on a previous project. I think they really complement the walnut on these cabinets. Finally, I built the mantle from 16/4 solid black walnut. Our client made a very special and sentimental request for 3 stars to be inlaid into the mantle top. It was a chance for me to do a little finer bit of woodworking that seems more rare these days in our work. We chose Osage Orange for the wood inlay. In time, the bright yellow color of that wood will richen to a beautiful amber color. It was a real joy to do such a special, personal bit of work for a great client.

This Toluca Lake kitchen addition and house remodel is so stunning! ✨ From the moment we met our client Cynthia to discuss her home renovation project we were able to understand her true needs and desires for her home and we really exceeded her expectations. I'm so proud of how amazing everything turnout! Here’s what our client had to say about her remodeling experience with MDRN Remodeling Company ??? Phenomenal. That's MDRN Remodeling. When people say to me "You're the only one who has ever said they had an amazing experience with their contractors," you know you hired the right people. Guil, Eyal and their exceptional crew were an absolute dream to work with, and I would share that sentiment ten times over with any potential clients who need a general contractor.

This couple brought me this painting that they had purchased together on a trip that had sentimental value. I mixed the painting with cool tones because the perimeter was mostly warm tones. brought in clean soft lines and textures such as wool, velvet, silk and grasscloth that make the room look luxe both day and night. The end result is a juxtaposition of sorts. It's energizing yet calming, neutral yet saturated, and chic yet classic. Chandelier and floors existing, by clients.
