With 12 foot ceilings, this modern kitchen contains an historical flair. The hardware finishes are light, with brushed nickel knobs and stainless steel appliances. The key here was to retain an old world sentiment while keeping the elements up to date. Kitchen design by Christine Mallard! Behr Whisper Yellow #300A-2 for the walls.

Every remodel comes with its new challenges and solutions. Our client built this home over 40 years ago and every inch of the home has some sentimental value. They had outgrown the original kitchen. It was too small, lacked counter space and storage, and desperately needed an updated look. The homeowners wanted to open up and enlarge the kitchen and let the light in to create a brighter and bigger space. Consider it done! We put in an expansive 14 ft. multifunctional island with a dining nook. We added on a large, walk-in pantry space that flows seamlessly from the kitchen. All appliances are new, built-in, and some cladded to match the custom glazed cabinetry. We even installed an automated attic door in the new Utility Room that operates with a remote. New windows were installed in the addition to let the natural light in and provide views to their gorgeous property.

As a design-build firm, the designer's focus for every project is to create a space that will not only suit the lifestyle of their clients, but also incorporate their personalities and sentimental belongings to truly make the home feel that it was built custom to them. This project encompassed the style and reclaimed artifacts from a completely different century. With timely features such as stacked stone, hand troweled limestone stucco, leaded glass windows, re-claimed 18th century European doors, slate and lead roof, gas lanterns and more, the clients wanted to replicate a traditional European home.

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

Camp Wobegon is a nostalgic waterfront retreat for a multi-generational family. The home's name pays homage to a radio show the homeowner listened to when he was a child in Minnesota. Throughout the home, there are nods to the sentimental past paired with modern features of today. The five-story home sits on Round Lake in Charlevoix with a beautiful view of the yacht basin and historic downtown area. Each story of the home is devoted to a theme, such as family, grandkids, and wellness. The different stories boast standout features from an in-home fitness center complete with his and her locker rooms to a movie theater and a grandkids' getaway with murphy beds. The kids' library highlights an upper dome with a hand-painted welcome to the home's visitors. Throughout Camp Wobegon, the custom finishes are apparent. The entire home features radius drywall, eliminating any harsh corners. Masons carefully crafted two fireplaces for an authentic touch. In the great room, there are hand constructed dark walnut beams that intrigue and awe anyone who enters the space. Birchwood artisans and select Allenboss carpenters built and assembled the grand beams in the home. Perhaps the most unique room in the home is the exceptional dark walnut study. It exudes craftsmanship through the intricate woodwork. The floor, cabinetry, and ceiling were crafted with care by Birchwood carpenters. When you enter the study, you can smell the rich walnut. The room is a nod to the homeowner's father, who was a carpenter himself. The custom details don't stop on the interior. As you walk through 26-foot NanoLock doors, you're greeted by an endless pool and a showstopping view of Round Lake. Moving to the front of the home, it's easy to admire the two copper domes that sit atop the roof. Yellow cedar siding and painted cedar railing complement the eye-catching domes.

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

Three generations have shared summers together at this very special place called Merry Hill. Recognizing their shifting needs and looking forward to future generations, the clients wanted to both drastically change their beloved family lake house and yet not change it at all. This new iteration of the cottage is nearly double the size of the original, transforming their summer home into a four-season getaway while evoking the character of the original house in a new and fresh way. The main cottage, boathouse and sleeping cabin all have broad, shallow-pitched roofs with generous overhangs that derive their form from their mid-century predecessor. Expansive openings, wood interiors, operable clerestories, and local stone double-stacked fireplaces are all familiar to the clients but rendered in different scales. Designed for resiliency and sustainability, the new retreat employs an integrated generator, geothermal heating, solar arrays, and battery storage as well as incorporates passive strategies such as sun orientation, earth sheltering, and cross ventilation to keep the interior at an ideal temperature all year round. The resulting form, detailing, and material selections of this new build allows for the seamless continuity of memory-making for a sentimental family.

Step into British colonial elegance ! A historical style embraced by many Indian homes. The client owned this ancestral sofa which carried a sentimental value for them. So we decided to refurbish it and design the living room around it. This room is soaked in earthy tones and tons of Indian motifs.....

To the west of the driveway, boxwood hedges, white peonies, white shrub rose, and red barberry border a gravel pathway that leads the homeowners to the rose garden which holds a sentimental value.

For this project, we were hired to remodel the childhood home of one of the current owners of this property. The downstairs had been remodeled several years prior and with the project being a family-based one, was very sentimental and we were driven to make exactly what our clients wanted while honoring the family heritage. In order to do this, we removed all the carpet, updated the windows, removed walls between the kitchen and family room, added a powder room, updated the staircase railings, as well as renovated all two upstairs bathrooms and four bedrooms. Additionally, we added a new exterior deck and railing. Now the family has a home that is updated to their current uses while still honoring the heritage of the home. Jerry and Lois Photography
