Before. This turn of the century cottage had charm, but needed work. Inside the rooms were cramped and dark and the house had settled badly.

Given the broad expanse of the main level public spaces, the dining room needed an anchor, albeit on the ceiling, to settle it into the space. Boxed and lowered to float above the reclaimed wood table, the ceiling feature boasts a soft decorative finish. Here, as elsewhere throughout the residence, a sculptural light fixture adds presence.

This was a complete gut & redesign of a master bathroom in Littleton, Colorado, with a goal of modern luxury spa. I believe that was achieved, and my clients couldn't be any happier with how it turned out! Carrera marble floors are heated, which run into the closet to the right side. Custom doors were made for the closet and toilet rooms, recessed lighting in the ceiling in both spaces, and fabulous new light fixtures to add a gorgeous and warm atmosphere. Solid white quartz counters add an additional touch of luxurious clean, simple lines. I wanted teak walls in this space. However, maintenance is quite a frequent challenge, so we settled on ceramic tile, which turned out to be above & beyond stunning! It is also extremely durable and virtually maintenance-free. The frameless shower allows the gorgeous cuts of Carrera marble to beautifully show, in addition to the "wood" accent.

After reviving their kitchen, this couple was ready to tackle the master bathroom by getting rid of some Venetian plaster and a built in tub, removing fur downs and a bulky shower surround, and just making the entire space feel lighter, brighter, and bringing into a more mid-century style space. The cabinet is a freestanding furniture piece that we allowed the homeowner to purchase themselves to save a little bit on cost, and it came with prefabricated with a counter and undermount sinks. We installed 2 floating shelves in walnut above the commode to match the vanity piece. The faucets are Hansgrohe Talis S widespread in chrome, and the tub filler is from the same collection. The shower control, also from Hansgrohe, is the Ecostat S Pressure Balance with a Croma SAM Set Plus shower head set. The gorgeous freestanding soaking tub if from Jason - the Forma collection. The commode is a Toto Drake II two-piece, elongated. Tile was really fun to play with in this space so there is a pretty good mix. The floor tile is from Daltile in their Fabric Art Modern Textile in white. We kept is fairly simple on the vanity back wall, shower walls and tub surround walls with an Interceramic IC Brites White in their wall tile collection. A 1" hex on the shower floor is from Daltile - the Keystones collection. The accent tiles were very fun to choose and we settled on Daltile Natural Hues - Paprika in the shower, and Jade by the tub. The wall color was updated to a neutral Gray Screen from Sherwin Williams, with Extra White as the ceiling color.

The media room will have friends and family vying for the best seat in front of the large screen. Settle in and turn the lights down low with a blackout blind feature. A glass wall, with intricately etched designs, separates the media room from The Red Maple’s superb fitness centre.

We poured a new, structurally sound footing.

Settling ground caused the original concrete entryway to crack, allowing water to pool at the front door. Garrett Churchill removed the old concrete and used Devonstone to rebuild a stunning new entryway into this Dresher home.

The old brick steps were crumbling apart. We made the new landing wider, and extended it farther from the house, with the steps larger as well. The steps are pinned to the house with rebar dowels to prevent settling and movement. We used about 1.5 yards of concrete, colored inegrally with Solomon Slate color, and a Brickform Light Gray Release agent.
