A Grandin Road exclusive, this Pre-lit Pinecone Greenery is holiday décor that's outside the typical big-box-store thinking. The sturdy wire frame fits neatly in the planters, allowing the greenery to flow over the rim.

Vertical blinds come in many styles. These window panels are panel track blinds or sliding panel blinds. Note that they are not the typical width of a vertical blind, but telescoping panels that will disappear into themselves to allow more of the outside in. Vertical window blinds are used for large window arrays and sliding doors. Note that this fabric is a screen shade solar fabric with an Openness Factor (see solar / screen shade pics). Screen shade fabric allows visibility to the exterior, vs a solid fabric shade with an Opacity rating up to blackout shades. Vertiglide blinds, Skyline blinds are just some of the custom vertical blinds available. Motorized blinds too.

When we envisioned the new landscape within the outdoor living space at Solana Beach Coastal Oasis, we imagined we were sitting poolside at a lushly planted Baja Zen style retreat. The owners of this Solana Beach home wanted plenty of space for outdoor dining and lounging by the pool. We enjoy creating innovative outdoor spaces for clients that can check both boxes. The outcome of this serene coastal landscape design has just the right combination of sleek and rustic elements, while being low maintenance. This outdoor renovation also included some eco-friendly upgrades. We renovated an existing sprinkler system so that it uses 60% less water than traditional systems. To keep it easy for the client, we added a custom Ipe wood pool cover box that also serves as a bench. This box contains the solar pool cover that was a challenge to store and an eyesore in the scenery. We introduced succulents and other low water plants in order to reduce the amount of water that is typically required to keep landscapes thriving in Southern California. Additional Design Elements: Potted plants including Citrus and Japanese Maple trees Custom Redwood entry gates and privacy fence Custom Ipe wood bench box that also stores the unsightly solar pool cover Fire pit table installed for enjoying cool evenings Stone veneered outdoor BBQ Stone veneered columns and retaining walls Pool with waterfall Spa Stained concrete walkways and patios with inlaid stone bands Low voltage lighting Bistro lights Teak patio furniture Eco-Friendly Upgrades

Eldersburg sunroom styling project- Transitional design- This is the second design project with my client. Sunrooms off the kitchen are a space that typically do not receive the design attention it deserves in most homes. They tend to have a table set, your typical builder chandelier and maybe low-cost blinds. I was excited to bring new life into this minimally used space. The walls were painted a warm green/gray in phase one of this home project with our Paint Consultation services. Phase one also included new flooring and FR Interior Design services. Phase two, a year later, I designed the sunroom and kitchen. Kitchen photos coming soon. The new design began with furniture. We removed their dated oak table and chairs, and my client approved this amazing darker wood Contemporary table set that I selected. This set delivers on my client's request for more seating and the tables stain accents the new flooring beautifully. The table also has additional leaves that will be great for holiday gatherings. I especially love the brass accent at the top of the parson chairs. Next was the new eye-catching crystal chandelier. The shape and size perfectly anchor's the entire room. My client loved the great price too! New custom roman shades bring an elegance to the space and allow for adjustments for daily sun. The small gray bookshelf stores a few of my clients many cookbooks. A small geometric table lamp adds low accent lighting for the evenings. New artwork and accents add a personalized touch to finish off the room. My clients are elated with the results.

This project hits very close to home for us. Not your typical office space, we re-purposed a 19th century carriage barn into our office and workshop. With no heat, minimum electricity and few windows (most of which were broken), a priority for CEO and Designer Jason Hoffman was to create a space that honors its historic architecture, era and purpose but still offers elements of understated sophistication. The building is nearly 140 years old, built before many of the trees towering around it had begun growing. It was originally built as a simple, Victorian carriage barn, used to store the family’s horse and buggy. Later, it housed 2,000 chickens when the Owners worked the property as their farm. Then, for many years, it was storage space. Today, it couples as a workshop for our carpentry team, building custom projects and storing equipment, as well as an office loft space ready to welcome clients, visitors and trade partners. We added a small addition onto the existing barn to offer a separate entry way for the office. New stairs and an entrance to the workshop provides for a small, yet inviting foyer space. From the beginning, even is it’s dark state, Jason loved the ambiance of the old hay loft with its unfinished, darker toned timbers. He knew he wanted to find a way to refinish the space with a focus on those timbers, evident in the statement they make when walking up the stairs. On the exterior, the building received new siding, a new roof and even a new foundation which is a story for another post. Inside, we added skylights, larger windows and a French door, with a small balcony. Along with heat, electricity, WiFi and office furniture, we’re ready for visitors!

A railing glass installation for modern renovation typically involves the use of tempered glass panels as a replacement for traditional railing materials, such as wood or metal. These glass panels are often held in place by metal or wooden posts, creating a sleek and modern look that can enhance the overall aesthetic of a space. In terms of installation, railing glass is typically custom-cut to fit the specific dimensions of the railing, and may be mounted using specialized hardware or adhesives designed for glass installation. The installation process may involve anchoring the posts securely to the floor or wall, and ensuring that the glass panels are level and secure. Railing glass can be used in a variety of settings, from residential homes to commercial spaces such as offices and retail stores. In addition to providing a modern and stylish aesthetic, railing glass can also increase the amount of natural light in a space, and create the illusion of more space and openness. Overall, a railing glass installation is a popular choice for those seeking a modern and sophisticated look for their home or space. With a range of design options available, it's possible to find a railing glass solution that perfectly suits your needs and enhances the overall aesthetic of your space.

Catch-all Storage Closet Transforms into Elegant Wine Cellar It was a typical unused space with bare studs and exposed insulation located at the base of the lower level stairs, next to the mechanical room. The entire lower level floor is covered with multi-color slate which contained in-floor heat. This posed a problem for the new wine cellar. The challenge was overcome by placing a layer of foam insulation with a vapor barrier over the slate floor, walls, and ceiling. Then, a plywood subfloor was glued in. A wall space vented into the adjacent laundry room was created to house a cooling unit, which maintains a perfect temperature within the wine cellar. The location of this wine cellar was a wonderful opportunity to create a showpiece that could be viewed from the upper level. An old fashioned store front, complete with two large windows and a faux painted shingle roof, was designed and built to draw attention and allow the viewer to see inside. Tami found a wall mural of an authentic wine cave and had it sized to fit the side wall of the new wine cellar, providing an illusion of continuing space and setting the tone of what was about to come. A rustic wood floor and a tongue and groove barrel ceiling, faux painted to resemble brick, were installed - all coinciding with the wall mural. Custom cabinetry filled the interior, holding wine bottles and boxes of such. A copper sink was inlayed into a wood counter top. Faux painted bricks highlight an oiled rubbed bronze faucet and a leaded seedy glass cabinet above is designed to hold various types of scotch whiskey. Ambient lighting enhances the cabinetry while a rustic mini chandelier hangs from the center of the barrel ceiling. This once “catch-all” storage closet is no more. A small, old world wine cellar has emerged and now, is quite a show piece.
