This space is perfect for entertaining! When the owners originally moved in, this deck was not here. There were several steps down from the kitchen door, and the stone slabs were a toe-stubbing minefield. We added the deck and designed it perfectly for entertaining. Since we had several large pine trees removed from the property, we increased sun exposure creating a need for more shade. We had this awning custom made by PJ Canvas in Santa Rosa, CA. The awning tucks neatly under the roof of the house during the rainy months.

Inspiration for a large eclectic courtyard stone outdoor patio shower remodel in New York with a roof extension

We created a home office tucked away behind a chocolate velvet privacy curtain. The key to a small space is storage and organization. The homeowners selected their favorite books for a collection located in the ceiling shelving area including under-mounted LED lights providing adequate reading light. Bench seats are upholstered in stylish geometric Kravet fabric and seats slide open for additional hidden storage. Hand painted mural of the clients favorite vacation spot works perfectly with this curved wall surface and adds not only color, but perspective to this narrow 8' round underground shelter.

Inspiration for a timeless porch container garden remodel in Raleigh with a roof extension

This award-winning and intimate cottage was rebuilt on the site of a deteriorating outbuilding. Doubling as a custom jewelry studio and guest retreat, the cottage’s timeless design was inspired by old National Parks rough-stone shelters that the owners had fallen in love with. A single living space boasts custom built-ins for jewelry work, a Murphy bed for overnight guests, and a stone fireplace for warmth and relaxation. A cozy loft nestles behind rustic timber trusses above. Expansive sliding glass doors open to an outdoor living terrace overlooking a serene wooded meadow. Photos by: Emily Minton Redfield
