The new master bath has a style in keeping with the existing home. Radiant floor heat and rich tiles welcome visitors into the bathroom. A custom tile shower with clear glass enclosure creates an open feel while dark cabinetry balances against a white marble countertop. Additional features include; a new window, recessed medicine cabinets, adjustable vanity mirrors and pendant lights. Linda Lagana, MotifDesignStudio

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!

Our St. Pete studio designed this stunning pied-à-terre for a couple looking for a luxurious retreat in the city. Our studio went all out with colors, textures, and materials that evoke five-star luxury and comfort in keeping with their request for a resort-like home with modern amenities. In the vestibule that the elevator opens to, we used a stylish black and beige palm leaf patterned wallpaper that evokes the joys of Gulf Coast living. In the adjoining foyer, we used stylish wainscoting to create depth and personality to the space, continuing the millwork into the dining area. We added bold emerald green velvet chairs in the dining room, giving them a charming appeal. A stunning chandelier creates a sharp focal point, and an artistic fawn sculpture makes for a great conversation starter around the dining table. We ensured that the elegant green tone continued into the stunning kitchen and cozy breakfast nook through the beautiful kitchen island and furnishings. In the powder room, too, we went with a stylish black and white wallpaper and green vanity, which adds elegance and luxe to the space. In the bedrooms, we used a calm, neutral tone with soft furnishings and light colors that induce relaxation and rest. --- Pamela Harvey Interiors offers interior design services in St. Petersburg and Tampa, and throughout Florida's Suncoast area, from Tarpon Springs to Naples, including Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and Sarasota.

This is the front of a home that combines modern lake house design with a number of sustainable best practices to create a stunning and amazingly comfortable low carbon home. The solar photovoltaic panels are set on the curved roof (not the equal gaps between the tops of the panels). The 9.8 kW PV 35 Panel array provides 32% of the homes energy usage, with the remaining electricity coming from 100% renewable energy credits from the grid. The energy concept for the home was to be all electric to reduce fracked natural gas usage. Natural gas is only used as a starter for the high efficiency, sealed combustion, outside combustion air fireplace and for a back up generator. The mechanical system is provided by a series of all electric, ultra high efficiency mini-splits, controlled by an integrated smart home system. An induction cooktop, hybrid electric water heater and hybrid electric dryer complete the items that typically use natural gas. Lighting is all high efficiency correctly colored LED’s. A home office is included on the second floor complete with a balcony, facing towards the lake. Their zero carbon work commute consists of walking across the 2nd floor hallway.

For the spacious living room, we ensured plenty of comfortable seating with luxe furnishings for the sophisticated appeal. We added two elegant leather chairs with muted brass accents and a beautiful center table in similar accents to complement the chairs. A tribal artwork strategically placed above the fireplace makes for a great conversation starter at family gatherings. In the large dining area, we chose a wooden dining table with modern chairs and a statement lighting fixture that creates a sharp focal point. A beautiful round mirror on the rear wall creates an illusion of vastness in the dining area. The kitchen has a beautiful island with stunning countertops and plenty of work area to prepare delicious meals for the whole family. Built-in appliances and a cooking range add a sophisticated appeal to the kitchen. The home office is designed to be a space that ensures plenty of productivity and positive energy. We added a rust-colored office chair, a sleek glass table, muted golden decor accents, and natural greenery to create a beautiful, earthy space. --- Project designed by interior design studio Home Frosting.

The homeowners of this Roseville 2-story had a very small kitchen footprint with big ideas. For starters they wanted a more open feel to their kitchen and at the same time they wanted an island. The existing “U” shaped kitchen had to go. But, the challenge was how to fit in an island and a dining room table in the same footprint? The solution? Eliminate the “U” and go to a floor to ceiling galley layout and create a narrow island that extends into the space where the casual dining table used to be and craft a custom dining table for two that straddled the kitchen and living rooms. We also painted the Kitchen and Sunken Dining Room in Suntan Bronze color in satin finish. To keep the eclectic style intact we replaced the current light fixtures with Quoizel Kyle 4-Light Imperial Bronze & over dining table with Four Light Distressed Amber Etched Glass Oil Rubbed Bronze Candle Chandelier. We were able to keep the budget in line by opting for a different grade of granite and a luxury vinyl tile floor. Photo—Alyssa Lee

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.

Our St. Pete studio designed this stunning pied-à-terre for a couple looking for a luxurious retreat in the city. Our studio went all out with colors, textures, and materials that evoke five-star luxury and comfort in keeping with their request for a resort-like home with modern amenities.
