A tired and dated, poorly layed out kitchen gets a bright and fresh new look in in the NW community of Arbour Lake in Calgary. The corner pantry made way for plenty of storage and counter space and the former dining nook now houses a coffee bar. There’s no need for a separate table because the island has ample space to seat four people comfortably as well as houses extra storage for those infrequently used items. The floating wood shelves don’t just look amazing, they are great for easy access to your most used items. The hexagon tile back splash is installed to highlight the shelves and stainless hood and make a very graphic statement.

This Lawrence Park Renovation included a full gut, addition on three levels and a basement underpin. Designing kitchens is one of my favorite challenges and this gorgeous walnut kitchen provided all the space needed for this busy family of five. An open plan incorporating a family room but maintaining a separate dining room, was key for this renovation. A principle bedroom with ensuite and walk in closer and a hard working mud room were also incorporated.

This eclectic primary bath, which hints at mid-century-modern style, has a separate sink room from the shower/toilet room. It features a bold floating vanity cabinet with sustainable faux rosewood veneer from EchoWood, with beautiful dramatic grain. A cool quartz countertop is a calm contrast to the warm wood grain. Black hardware, faucets, mirrors, and sconces create graphic punctuation. Soft blue-grey towels hint at the blue tile around the corner in the shower.

Our quaint dining room is cladded with barn board and house siding. The nearby Douglas Fir record shelf separates the front door from the living room area.

A modern mountain renovation of an inherited mountain home in North Carolina. We brought the 1990's home in the the 21st century with a redesign of living spaces, changing out dated windows for stacking doors, with an industrial vibe. The new design breaths and compliments the beautiful vistas outside, enhancing, not blocking.

Bathroom - bathroom idea in Atlanta

This kitchen took a tired, 80’s builder kitchen and revamped it into a personalized gathering space for our wonderful client. The existing space was split up by the dated configuration of eat-in kitchen table area to one side and cramped workspace on the other. It didn’t just under-serve our client’s needs; it flat out discouraged them from using the space. Our client desired an open kitchen with a central gathering space where family and friends could connect. To open things up, we removed the half wall separating the kitchen from the dining room and the wall that blocked sight lines to the family room and created a narrow hallway to the kitchen. The old oak cabinets weren't maximizing storage and were dated and dark. We used Waypoint Living Spaces cabinets in linen white to brighten up the room. On the east wall, we created a hutch-like stack that features an appliance garage that keeps often used countertop appliance on hand but out of sight. The hutch also acts as a transition from the cooking zone to the coffee and wine area. We eliminated the north window that looked onto the entry walkway and activated this wall as storage with refrigerator enclosure and pantry. We opted to leave the east window as-is and incorporated it into the new kitchen layout by creating a window well for growing plants and herbs. The countertops are Pental Quartz in Carrara. The sleek cabinet hardware is from our friends at Amerock in a gorgeous satin champagne bronze. One of the most striking features in the space is the pattern encaustic tile from Tile Shop. The pop of blue in the backsplash adds personality and contrast to the champagne accents. The reclaimed wood cladding surrounding the large east-facing window introduces a quintessential Colorado vibe, and the natural texture balances the crisp white cabinetry and geometric patterned tile. Minimalist modern lighting fixtures from Mitzi by Hudson Valley Lighting provide task lighting over the sink and at the wine/ coffee station. The visual lightness of the sink pendants maintains the openness and visual connection between the kitchen and dining room. Together the elements make for a sophisticated yet casual vibe-- a comfortable chic kitchen. We love the way this space turned out and are so happy that our clients now have such a bright and welcoming gathering space as the heart of their home!

The interiors utilize a graphic and geometric wall paper to unify the Foyer and pine paneling in the Library that lends a comfortable, old-world feeling. We used a beautiful custom finish on the paneling with linen damask upholstered panels. An Oushak rug is used as a feature point in the room. The Dinning Room has a unique v-groove wood “pyramid” ceiling treatment that adds height and becomes the room’s major feature. The contemporary graphic, custom-made rug anchors the large 12 person dinning table. The chandler is kept open and simple to accent the furnishings. The Living Room is two stories high with large glass windows, which allow for a light and airy feeling, complemented by soft, casual furnishings. A magnificent fireplace adds a point of focus. The Living Room opens to a comfortable screen porch shared with the master suite and overlooks the pool and marsh pond beyond.

With a wry smile and a penchant for artisanal quality, she asked, "Can you mix Egyptian Art Deco, Funky Modern, and Western Lodge styles in my historic 1910 Prairie Style home?" Yes, ma'am. Yes I can. ...I'll freely admit, and so will Nancy, the pair of vintage couches we redressed flanking the fireplace are simply hilarious. I call them "Mae West Had A Twin Sister". ;P photography by Steve Voelker
