Step into the heart of this stunning kitchen, where every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to marry charm with contemporary elegance. With its vaulted ceiling, flat panel cabinets, and a distinctive L-shape layout complete with a magnificent waterfall island, this space is a true testament to modern kitchen design. The vaulted ceiling is a showstopper, adding a sense of grandeur to the kitchen. It opens up the space, allowing natural light to flood in, and accentuates the clean lines and airy atmosphere. It's a visual delight, perfectly harmonizing with the farmhouse aesthetic. The flat panel cabinets are a nod to both minimalism and functionality. Their sleek design and subtle hardware choices allow the focus to remain on the striking aesthetics of the space. But what truly sets this kitchen apart is the two-tone cabinet scheme. The contrasting colors add depth and character, giving a modern twist to this newly designed home. The L-shaped kitchen layout offers both functionality and a seamless flow. It's designed for efficiency, making meal preparation a breeze. The centerpiece, the waterfall island, is a work of art. With its solid, uninterrupted surface, it not only provides additional prep and serving space but also acts as a captivating focal point. The inclusion of top-of-the-line Thermador stainless steel appliances ensures that this kitchen isn't just about looks; it's about delivering high-performance functionality. They seamlessly blend in, adding a touch of modern luxury to this home. This kitchen is as inviting as it is breathtaking. Welcome to a kitchen that's not just for cooking; it's for creating cherished memories.

To update this kitchen we focused on an attention grabbing backsplash. Rather than replace items unnecessarily, we opted to painting out some cabinetry, revamp the hood, and update accessories. The ombre tile is a standout. Its impact modernizes the kitchen immediately. The remaining adjustments serve to enhance this star of the show. DaubmanPhotography@Cox.net

A 1940’s West End commercial offiice space converted to a modern residential home for a family of four and a dog. The completed space has over 2800 square feet and includes two bedrooms on the lower floor and a master with ensuite on the second, a 600 square foot rooftop deck and a bright and airy main floor with kitchen and great room. Special focus on spaces for art to hang in a gallery like setting, custom built-in storage where you might least expect it and the installation of an aluminum curtain wall window system. Of special note, reclaimed fir joists from the demolition were turned into stunning 11” solid fir flooring, adding character throughout.

Project by Studio H:T. Principal Brad Tomecek now with Tomecek Studio Architecture. Constructed using a sophisticated German prefabrication system, this unique 40 feet wide property boasts expansive front range views. The humble transparent entry elevation is based on a series of north-south solid walls that are connected with storefront glass. This experience unfolds moving through the residence until the occupant is hovering on a deck three stories above the rear yard – ‘floating’ in the trees. Alpine residence blurs the distinction between interior and exterior space while focusing a significant amount of attention to the Flatirons. (Photos by Wilson Kauanui)

Houston Interior Designer Lisha Maxey took this Museum District condo from the dated, mirrored walls of the 1980s to Mid Century Modern with a gallery look featuring the client’s art collection. The place was covered with glued-down, floor-to-ceiling mirrors,” says Lisha Maxey, senior designer for Homescapes of Houston and principal at LGH Design Services in Houston. “When we took them off the walls, the walls came apart. We ended up taking them down to the studs." The makeover took six months to complete, primarily because of strict condo association rules that only gave the Houston interior designers very limited access to the elevator – through which all materials and team members had to go. “Monday through Friday, we could only be noisy from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and if we had to do something extra loud, like sawing or drilling, we had to schedule it with the management and they had to communicate that to the condo owners. So it was just a lot of coordination. But a lot of Inner City Loopers live in these kinds of buildings, so we’re used to handling that kind of thing.” The client, a child psychiatrist in her 60s, recently moved to Houston from northeast Texas to be with friends. After being widowed three years ago, she decided it was time to let go of the traditionally styled estate that wasn’t really her style anyway. An avid diver who has traveled around the world to pursue her passion, she has amassed a large collection of art from her travels. Downsizing to 1,600 feet and wanting to go more contemporary, she wanted the display – and the look – more streamlined. “She wanted clean lines and muted colors, with the main focus being her artwork,” says Maxey. “So we made the space a palette for that.” Enter the white, gallery-grade paint she chose for the walls: “It’s halfway between satin and flat,” explains Maxey. “It’s not glossy and it’s not chalky – just very smooth and clean." Adding to the gallery theme is the satin nickel track lighting with lamps aimed to highlight pieces of art. “This lighting has no wires,” notes Maxey. “It’s powered by a positive and negative conduit.” The new flooring throughout is a blended-grey porcelain tile that looks like wood planks. “It’s gorgeous, natural-looking and combines all the beauty of wood with the durability of tile,” says Maxey. “We used it throughout the condo to unify the space.” After Maxey started looking at the client’s bright, vibrant, colorful artwork, she felt the palette couldn’t stay as muted anymore. Hence the Mid Century Modern orange leather sofas from West Elm and bright green chairs from Joybird, plus the throw pillows in different textures, patterns and shades of gold, orange and green. The concave lines of the Danish-inspired chairs, she notes, help them look beautiful from all the way around – a key to designing spaces for loft living. “The table in the living room is very interesting,” notes Maxey. “It was handmade for the client in 1974 and has a signature on it from the artist. She was adamant about including the piece, which has all these hand-painted black-and-white art tiles on the top. I took one look at it and said ‘It’s not really going to go.’” However, after cutting 6 inches off the bottom and making it look a little distressed, the table ended up being the perfect complement to the sofas. The dining room table – from Design Within Reach – is a solid piece of mahogany, the chair upholstery a mix of grey velvet and leather and the legs a shiny brass. “The side chairs are leather and the end ones are velvet,” says Maxey. “It’s a nice textural mix that lends depth and texture.”The galley kitchen, meanwhile, has been lightened and brightened, with new, white contemporary cabinetry, quartz countertops mimicking the look of Carrara marble, stainless steel appliances and a velvet green bench seat for a punch of color.The two bathrooms have been updated with contemporary white vanities and vessel sinks and the master bath now features a walk-in shower tiled in Dolomite white marble (the floor is Bianco Carrara marble mosaic, done in a herringbone pattern).In the master bedroom, Homescapes of Houston knocked down a wall between two smaller closets with swing doors to make one large walk-in closet with pocket doors. The closet in the guest bedroom also came out 13 more inches.The client’s artwork throughout personalizes the space and tells the story of a life. There’s a huge bowl of shells from the client’s diving adventures, framed art from her child psychiatry patients and a 16th century wood carving from a monastery that’s been in her family forever. “Her collection is quite impressive,” says Maxey. “There’s even a framed piece of autographed songs written by John Lennon.” (You can see this black-framed piece of art on the wall in the photo above of two green chairs). “We’re extremely happy with how the project turned out, and so is the client,” says Maxey. “No expense was spared for her. It was a labor of love and we were excited to do it.”

Philadelphia Row Home Renovation focusing on maximizing storage for a young family of 5. We created a "mudroom" in the front of the row home with a large living room space for family time + hosting. We used kid-friendly furnishings with performance fabrics that are durable and easy to clean. Prioritized eco-friendly selections, utilizing locally sourced + American made pieces.

This guest bathroom was designed for a new residential development in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The interior combines warm natural textures, soft neutral tones and minimalist forms to create a calm and welcoming atmosphere for visitors. A solid wood slab vanity top becomes the main natural element of the space, while the wall finish was designed to resemble hand-applied plaster, adding depth and a tactile quality to the interior. The project was developed in collaboration with a Miami-based interior designer, with my role focused on the visualizations and presentation materials used by the developer.

Custom kitchen for this client in a Brampton high rise condo. Combination of thermofoil doors on the uppers and a matching solid wood shaker on the lowers with a tinted lacquer finish in Benjamin Moore Bright Yellow. Keeping the focus on the cabinet faces, we chose the sleek look of edge pulls on the doors and drawers. We also added a matching quartz ledge on the pass thru into the living room with an overhang for stools.

We recently completed a custom 6 ft cedar privacy fence installation for a homeowner in the Seattle area. The goal was to replace an old, worn-out fence with a clean, modern design that provides full privacy, durability, and long-term value. We removed the existing fence, installed new pressure-treated posts rated for ground contact, and built a strong, level structure using high-quality cedar pickets. This type of fence not only improves the look of the property, but also adds security and increases home value. At PNW Craft Construction, we focus on clean work, solid structure, and long-lasting results. Every project is built to handle the Pacific Northwest weather. If you're thinking about installing or replacing a fence, feel free to reach out — we offer free estimates and fast scheduling.

The luxurious, tranquility of the lounge with beautiful sea views fits perfectly with the overall feel of the home. We designed sumptuous, comfy custom-made couches to allow the family to truly relax and enjoy their living room space, and paired it with feather filled scatter cushions in textured neutral fabrics. A faux fur throw adds that extra bit of warmth and texture to the space which the clients absolutely loved. We focused on bringing in a lot of natural textures to the space which included a large, gorgeous natural fiber rug. All the furniture was custom designed and manufactured to fit the space perfectly. A stand-out feature of the room is the solid Oak Butler’s tray coffee table that Cheryl designed and paired perfectly with coastal decorative objét pieces and pops of warm gold in the form of candle holders. We kept the palette neutral and soft by choosing linen curtains throughout, with simple sheers behind the blockout lined curtains, which frame the large windows, and allow for either complete privacy or a spectacular ocean seafront view. An absolute dream lounge!
