This North Shore, MA galley kitchen features a bright and efficient layout with classic white cabinetry and clean transitional detailing. Glass-front upper cabinets add visual openness while providing display storage, and marble countertops enhance the light, refined aesthetic. The streamlined layout maximizes functionality within a narrow footprint, complemented by stainless steel appliances and under-cabinet lighting. A soft green runner and simple decorative accents bring warmth and personality to the space, creating a fresh and inviting kitchen designed for everyday use.

Designed to seamlessly blend rustic warmth with modern sophistication, this custom TV accent wall is the perfect fusion of the homeowners' distinct styles. After presenting multiple design concepts, this winning vision maintains harmony within the open-concept home.
To ensure a cohesive flow, I carried through the cabinet and island tones from the kitchen and dry bar. The floating flat-panel cabinetry along the bottom provides functional storage while keeping the design sleek and streamlined. Wood paneling strips and floating shelves add depth and character, with ambient and accent lighting for a warm, inviting glow.
A reclaimed mushroom wood beam spans overhead, featuring upper lighting that naturally draws the eye up while introducing a touch of rustic charm. This same stunning material was also used to craft a large beam over the sliders, seamlessly connecting the kitchen and dry bar, as well as a statement foyer entry beam, enhancing the home’s architectural flow.
For a dramatic yet refined effect, the back wall is painted Urbane Bronze, allowing the rich wood tones and lighting to take center stage. When the 85" TV is off, it blends effortlessly into the dark backdrop rather than dominating the space.
To complete the design, I selected a large woven natural light fixture, adding another layer of texture and organic beauty. The result is a one-of-a-kind feature wall that is both visually striking and effortlessly integrated into the home’s overall aesthetic.

This custom rowhome staircase blends clean modern lines with warm, natural materials to create a light and inviting vertical connection within the home. Natural white oak treads add warmth and texture, while crisp white risers keep the design feeling open and refined. A streamlined railing system featuring a wood handrail paired with slim black metal balusters introduces subtle contrast without overwhelming the space. Designed to feel architectural yet approachable, the staircase enhances natural light flow and complements the home’s overall modern aesthetic.

Designed by Lauren Hunt of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Charlotte, NC, in collaboration with The Atta Group, this mid-century/transitional kitchen & bar features Merillat Masterpiece cabinets in the Levan shaker door style with a Rainfall finish. Kitchen countertops are Hanstone Strato, complemented by a Bally Butcherblock bar countertop in teak.
“The clients were a dream to work with! We have similar design taste, so it made for a really effortless and smooth design process!” said Hunt.
“Their original kitchen was much smaller, so much of our discussion was centered on making the new space they had functional and efficient. We used quite a few pullouts and drawer accessories to help keep their storage space organized.”
“I was thrilled that they’ve broke away from the whites and gray painted cabinets we’ve been seeing by selecting Masterpiece’s Rainfall paint and incorporating some warmer finishes. I’m really happy with the finished product – we were able to create a design that is sleek and streamlined while still being warm and inviting!”

At Native Edge Landscape, we believe that outdoor spaces are canvases for artistic expression and harmonious design. In one of our recent projects, we had the opportunity to create a breathtaking pergola that seamlessly blended with the surrounding environment while showcasing the unique artful taste of our clients. Join us as we explore the captivating details of this design and the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating a truly remarkable outdoor space.
The Pergola: A Perfect Fusion of Steel and Cedar
The focal point of this project is undoubtedly the large pergola, which we carefully constructed from steel C-channel and rough cedar purlins. The combination of these materials resulted in a striking aesthetic that effortlessly marries strength and natural beauty. The warm tones of each play off one another and come alive in the sunlight, while the alternating basketweave layout of the slats offer even more visual interest as well as variation in the provided shade. The design concept was carefully planned to ensure the purlins fit snugly into the channel, cleverly concealing any visible fasteners. This attention to detail adds to the sleek and streamlined appearance of the pergola, elevating its visual appeal and rustic elegance.
Working in Harmony with Nature
One of the most remarkable aspects of this project is how the pergola and the clam shell-colored Trex deck were thoughtfully designed to complement and highlight the existing large red oak tree. Rather than overshadowing or competing with its natural beauty, the design gracefully worked around the tree, creating a harmonious coexistence between human craftsmanship and nature's elegance.
Mid-Century Modern Charm with an Artful Twist
While the overall design of the space exudes mid-century modern aesthetics, what truly makes this project stand out is the clients' unique and artful taste. Their personal touch can be seen in the selection of decor, furniture, and subtle embellishments that add character and personality to the space. The result is a stunning blend of timeless design principles and the clients' individual artistic expression, creating a truly one-of-a-kind outdoor sanctuary.
Craftsmanship that Inspires
Every element of this project, from the pergola's construction to the careful integration of existing natural features, is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Native Edge Landscape team. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, our designers and craftsmen brought the clients' vision to life, transforming their outdoor space into a work of art.

This kitchen embodies a bright and timeless elegance, combining high-quality materials and thoughtful details for a harmonious aesthetic. Dura Supreme white painted cabinets provide a clean and refined foundation, paired with Richelieu cabinet hardware in brushed nickel for a subtle yet polished accent.
The countertops feature White Valley Granite, bringing natural beauty and texture to the space. A marble tile backsplash in a brick pattern adds a classic touch, complementing the cabinetry and countertops seamlessly. Benjamin Moore paint colors—Bleeker Beige and Swiss Coffee—enhance the overall warmth and brightness of the design.
Top-tier appliances include a Wolf gas range, Bosch panel-ready refrigerator, and Miele speed oven, ensuring both functionality and a streamlined appearance. The Rohl single bowl fireclay sink and Grohe faucet offer durability and sophistication, blending practicality with style.
The design is completed by engineered hardwood flooring, which adds warmth and durability, tying together the space with an inviting and cohesive look.

What was once an awkward and inefficient primary bathroom is now a space designed to truly function. The original doorway cut directly into the vanity, and a built in tub consumed valuable square footage, limiting both storage and circulation.
By relocating the entry and reworking the layout, we were able to create a more natural flow. An upgraded shower and a large double oak vanity with thoughtful storage solutions now anchor the space, making daily routines seamless. Heated terrazzo floors add comfort underfoot, while streamlined plumbing fixtures bring a clean, intentional finish to the design.
In the guest bathroom, we moved beyond purely functional and introduced color, pattern, and layered texture to create a space that feels personal and inviting.
Hearing our client share that this remodel has genuinely improved her quality of life is exactly why we do what we do. The result is a cohesive primary and guest bathroom renovation that balances beauty, comfort, and everyday function.

This modestly sized transitional kitchen lives up to its name with soft and warm accents in every space. A counter-top height arched cutout in the wall separating the living room and kitchen space allows easy arm's length access to the perfect little beverage and coffee bar setup we designed, featuring a bar sink and plentiful base storage flanked by a beautiful decorative backsplash.
Many avid cooks love having a recessed chef’s block located somewhere on their kitchen island, and this KI client was no different. Unlike the more traditionally thick chef’s block, the homeowner opted for a thinner and more streamlined design giving it a near flush install with the counter-top. You will notice it strategically located right next to the kitchen sink on one of the two facing islands with double pullout trash storage below to conveniently brush the chopped leftovers into and stainless dishwasher on the left. On the other side of this island, we designed in a stainless under-counter beverage refrigerator with pull-out trash to the left.
A transitional induction cooktop rests on the other island just across from the seating area, giving the homeowner the option to easily converse with family and friends while cooking a meal. Just below the cooktop, you will notice plentiful pullout storage for pots and pans.
Last but certainly not least is the creatively designed side-by-side Frigidaire stainless refrigerator and freezer encased in a custom built box stained to match the beige cabinets throughout the kitchen. They are flanked on either side by floating shelves with base pullout storage on the left and an under-counter oven on the right.
All of these features combined with the tile flooring and ceiling accented by weathered wood beams and rustic hanging light fixture give this kitchen a truly warm and inviting glow.

This bathroom strikes a perfect balance between modern elegance and everyday comfort. A soft, neutral palette sets a calming tone, while clean-lined finishes and thoughtful details elevate the space. The floating wood vanity adds warmth and organic texture, paired with a sleek white countertop and undermount sink for a minimalist yet inviting look.
Oversized tile flooring continues up the walls for a seamless, spa-like effect. A glass-enclosed shower with matte black fixtures—including a rainfall showerhead and hand shower—offers a luxurious, streamlined bathing experience. An LED backlit mirror above the vanity adds ambient lighting while enhancing the room’s modern aesthetic.
Whether starting the day or winding down, this bathroom is designed to feel effortlessly refined.

This home’s exterior presents a refined, understated presence with a modern sensibility. Clean horizontal lines and a low profile roofline create a strong architectural foundation, while a muted façade allows the landscaping and front entry to take focus.

Sleek materials and a streamlined design transformed this charming mid midcentury Dallas home. Owners wanted a modern twist to the classic american style, resulting in gorgeous open spaces, accessibility and an inviting warmth.

This secondary bedroom offers a clean and versatile space ideal for guests, family, or a flexible home office setup.

This beautifully renovated modern kitchen showcases a harmonious blend of warm textures and clean contemporary lines. Sleek matte white upper cabinets pair with rich natural wood lower cabinetry, creating a balanced two-tone design that feels both elegant and inviting. The dramatic Calacatta-style quartz backsplash and waterfall peninsula unify the space with soft, organic veining that adds movement and luxury.
A professional-grade stainless steel Wolf range anchors the cooking zone, complemented by a streamlined built-in microwave and integrated refrigeration for a seamless look. The wide picture window floods the kitchen with natural light, enhancing the warmth of the light herringbone wood flooring and creating an airy, open atmosphere.
Thoughtful details—like the brushed bronze faucet, minimalist hardware-free design, and curated countertop styling—highlight the sophistication and craftsmanship of high-end apartment kitchens, warm minimalist interiors, and luxury small-space kitchen design.

A design build bathroom in Rockville
A stunning blend of modern luxury, designed functionality, and Victorian charm
This recent design build bathroom in Rockville, MD by Talon Construction is a stunning blend of modern luxury, thoughtful functionality, and Victorian charm:
Custom Shower Enclosure with Wet & Dry Bench
Curbless walk-in shower design expands the sense of space and accessibility, bringing in sleek minimalism and easy transition
Inside, wet and dry bench seating each built with matching quartz provides dual functionality. A wet seat under the shower spray and a separate dry zone for relaxation or shaving
Enclosed in a bespoke frameless glass door, accented with premium brushed-nickel hardware, achieving a clean, spa-like atmosphere.
Twin Custom Wood Victorian‑Style Vanities
Two custom-stained, Victorian-style vanities flank the room—crafted in rich wood tones with decorative legs, and marble-look quartz countertops, echoing Talon’s signature high-end cabinetry.
Each vanity is topped with non-framed mirrors offering both statement flair and practical ambiance .
Additional Design Highlights
Built-in storage cubbies finished in the same wood as the vanities, add seamless function and aesthetic continuity. A hallmark seen in Talon’s Gaithersburg remodel.
Fully tiled walls, shower floor, and niches with large-format ceramic tiles and accent inlays providing elegant durability and a boutique flair.
Carefully chosen brushed nickel fixtures along with recessed lighting and wall mounted vanity lights. Provides a bright, inviting space with layers of sophistication.

Seamless design‑build approach: Talon handled 3D design planning, material selections, permit acquisition, demolition, plumbing, electrical, and final installation under one roof

Why It Stands Out
Elevated luxury meets practical function wet/dry benches, custom storage, mood lighting the kind of refined touches Talon brings to every project.
Cohesive aesthetic with Victorian vanities anchoring vintage charm, the glass enclosure and clean finishes keep it fresh and contemporary.
Client-approved quality backed by glowing local feedback—“top-notch,” “easy reveal,” and “no surprises” from homeowners and even Reddit users in Frederick .
This remodel is the perfect example of Talon’s ability to blend timeless design and functionality in a streamlined process. The result: a Victorian-inspired, spa-like bathroom sanctuary tailored to modern living in Rockville.
