Contemporary meets function in this Oakton, VA remodel. When it comes to home transformations, Foster Remodeling Solutions knows how to bring visions to life. Recently, a family came to us with a desire for a spacious, open kitchen perfect for entertaining, loaded with extra storage, a sleek bar area, and even custom cabinets for their beloved dogs. We took their vision and turned it into a stunning reality, creating a home that balances beauty and practicality.
Kitchen Transformation: An Open, Inviting Space
The kitchen renovation began with a bold change: we removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room to create a seamless, open-concept layout. This reimagined space centers around a large, welcoming island that now serves as a gathering place for friends and family. The added bar area brings a touch of sophistication, ideal for hosting, while custom cabinets were carefully designed for easy access to pet essentials—making the kitchen functional for everyone in the family.
With contemporary cabinetry and streamlined storage solutions, this kitchen offers both convenience and style. Every detail, from the lighting to the countertop finish, was chosen to complement the family’s lifestyle, making it not only a cooking space but also an entertainment hub.

This beautifully crafted bathroom reflects the essence of modern farmhouse style — clean, warm, and effortlessly inviting. Soft white wall tiles create a bright, airy backdrop, enhancing natural light and giving the space a fresh, timeless appeal.
The rich wood vanity introduces warmth and organic texture, a signature element of farmhouse interiors. Paired with a sleek dark countertop, the design achieves a perfect balance between rustic charm and contemporary sophistication.
Matte black fixtures and hardware add bold contrast, bringing a modern edge while maintaining the farmhouse aesthetic. The glass-enclosed shower offers a streamlined, open feel, complemented by subtle geometric floor tiles that add visual interest without overwhelming the space.
Designed with both comfort and elegance in mind, this modern farmhouse bathroom combines natural materials, refined details, and functional design to create a relaxing, spa-like retreat.

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.

Designed to feel architectural yet approachable, the staircase enhances natural light flow and complements the home’s overall modern aesthetic.

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.

The original room was withe with a dated white, tray ceiling. We decided to add a new ceiling fan, that was more streamlined and custom, Cherry ceiling beams, built to my specs.

To ensure a cohesive flow, I carried through the cabinet and island tones from the kitchen and dry bar.

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.
