For their first starter home, our clients desired an open-plan concept with warm rich tones and industrial styling. They also needed the space to be uncluttered but still furnished with personal mementos collected during their travels. They appreciate how the wood stands out combined with light and dark grey tones and rough industrial textures. Mission accomplished! Materials used: Sherwin Williams paint, Walnut and iron dining table and shelving unit (bar), upholstered dining chairs with whimsical fabrics, concrete and wood industrial-style lighting, grey fabric living room sectional, black iron coffee table, walnut and black iron industrial-style bench, 5 x 7 area rug, black leather bar stools, oversized custom grey wood shelving unit

This eye-catching feature in the heart of Maroochydore showcases an elegant, curved wall that seamlessly transitions from the front of the home to the welcoming dining and kitchen area, creating a true conversation starter. Our Irregular Foster stone, skillfully installed by @onyxworks takes centre stage with its unique character and charm. The Foster’s simplistic yet elegant design displays a stunning array of tone variations, ranging from vivid whites to soft beiges, which add depth to the space. This natural interplay of colours builds individuality into the home, setting it apart from conventional designs. The irregular shapes of the Foster stone create a unique contrast with the organic curves of the wall, enhancing the overall aesthetic while fostering a balanced and dynamic atmosphere that radiates sophistication and style.

Creating your dream space in a rental home can sometimes feel limiting, but for this project we focused on unlocking colorful possibilities for our clients. Originally, both office spaces were bare and clean but lacked personality. Our goal was to level everything up while injecting more fun and flavor into the office spaces so they had Zoom-friendly backdrops that made them look forward to going into the office each day. Her space was crafted to be fun, playful and full of texture. A gorgeous wooden bookcase with a unique design accent at the bottom became one of the more practical features of the room while the Zoom-worthy artwork behind her desk gave her colleagues and clients an instant conversation starter.

Our customers at Linwood Ave. hired us to complete a full 3-story renovation for their row house, in the ever popular neighborhood of Canton. We were tasked with taking the separate & combined needs of our newly engaged couple, to create a space that didn't feel compromised. For starters, we needed optimal storage, maximal light, and space for entertaining. On the main level we opened up their living/dining/kitchen, but created a mudroom in the back that could store bikes, outdoor equipment, coats, shoes, and every other eyesore that is useful but should not be seen. For the kitchen, we wanted to create a space that was highly functional, and didn't leave the home feeling like another shot-gun row house. By building a wall for the mudroom, it allowed us to utilize both sides of the kitchen while keeping our sight lines open. For their master bathroom we packed in a lot of luxury for a small space. The bathroom included a large shower, double vanity, and separate toilet room. We installed medicine cabinets and built-in storage wherever there was an opportunity. Overall, the end result is an elegant space that the couple has room to grow into, for years to come.

This client wanted an colorful, full of life kitchen they could create the best food in and be as stunning to look at as well. For starters, we reconfigured some base cabinets to large deep drawers and also have trash/recycle pull outs. The top cabinets now are extended to the ceiling for more storage. A custom designed tall cabinet that maximizes the storage space with a few deep drawers a recycle pull out and a side cabinet for brooms and such. Also houses two oven/microwaves. Granite countertops were an improvement from the original Formica ones. We said bye bye to the blue wallpaper and hello to a fresh warm neutral on the walls to make way for the two tone blue cabinets. We did the flooring in a herringbone pattern for even more interest. A custom designed center medallion piece above the stove adds a personal touch and a nice focal piece. A great project and very happy clients!

Denver Loft Style Condo Space... 13' exposed concrete ceilings add to the spacious feeling of this 2,000-sq.ft. condo in downtown Denver. The open concept space is desirable for casual urban living... but, it has its challenges when coming to design. When you can see the Entry Lounge, Dining Room, Kitchen, Guest Bedroom and Living room all at the same time you want to make good cohesive choices in your furniture, fixtures and finishes. San Diego based Interior Designer, Rebecca Robeson took the challenge head on! Rebecca’s vision for the project was to address each area and its functional aspects while creating visual continuity from room to room. For starters, Rebecca eliminated the numerous flooring materials in the current space and ran 8' hardwood plank flooring throughout substituting similar wood looking tile in the Bathrooms. The 6'8" French doors were replaced with 8’ solid wood doors with frosted glass horizontal inlays. Rocky Mountain door handles and hinges added a rich quality to all the doors creating continuity, even in the smallest details. Rebecca kept her paint color selection at a minimum with the exception of accent color walls in Guest Bedrooms. She added 8” tall baseboards throughout and had them painted Simply White by Benjamin Moore. This view of the Entry Lounge, Guest Bedroom, Kitchen and Dining room convey the artful choices Rebecca made with her color pallet, textures, furniture pieces and light fixtures. Well thought out, the bold purple accent wall in the Guest Bedroom combines well with the overall neutral palette in the main living spaces.

These homeowners came to Castle looking for a solution that would allow them to stay in their 1946 stucco bungalow in the St. Paul neighborhood that they loved. What was once a young couple’s starter home (1 ½ story with two bedrooms on the main floor and a tiny attic space) was no longer big enough after having two kids. The need for more room became the family’s highest priority, so they came to Castle for help creating the space they needed for their growing family. With very little headroom in the attic, the decision was made to tear off the roof and add a completely new 2nd story addition with three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a commons area. The stairway to the new 2nd-floor space needed to be rebuilt to comply with code requirements and was extended slightly into the dining room below. The new 2nd story addition gave the homeowners an opportunity to revise the exterior look of the home with vertical board and batten siding above the 1st-floor stucco. A new front entry portico was added to compliment the addition, and the existing masonry chimney was extended above the new roof line. The homeowners took over the work on the project after drywall was installed and did all the interior trim & millwork, tile, flooring, and painting & staining themselves. They’re loving the results! Tour this project in person, September 28 – 29, during the 2019 Castle Home Tour!

This “Arizona Inspired” home draws on some of the couples’ favorite desert inspirations. The architecture honors the Wrightian design of The Arizona Biltmore, the courtyard raised planter beds feature labeled specimen cactus in the style of the Desert Botanical Gardens, and the expansive backyard offers a resort-style pool and cabana with plenty of entertainment space. Additional focal areas of landscape design include an outdoor living room in the front courtyard with custom steel fire trough, a shallow negative-edge fountain, and a rare “nurse tree” that was salvaged from a nearby site, sits in the corner of the courtyard – a unique conversation starter. The wash that runs on either side of the museum-glass hallway is filled with aloes, agaves and cactus. On the far end of the lot, a fire pit surrounded by desert planting offers stunning views both day and night of the Praying Monk rock formation on Camelback Mountain.
