This designer’s ideal is homeowners with a clear vision, set priorities, and values that align seamlessly with ours. These clients, an accomplished artist and the owner of a generational hops growing farm, were collaborative and trusting from the start. They conscientiously selected a team of Architect (Green Hammer), General Contractor (Cellar Ridge) and ATIID for furnishings and finishing touches. Each firm was able to meticulously manage their leg of the project, while collaborating wholistically with each other and the homeowners. The family farmhouse, lovingly named “Westwood,” was showing the wear one expects after serving a growing family for decades. The owner’s dream was to revive, open up, and breathe modern life into each space, while respecting the home’s heritage. One of our first collaborations was the light fixture that would grace the main two-story entry hall. HiiH Lights in Astoria, Oregon, was commissioned to bring “the function of light, the craft of paper, and the art of sculpture” to the home. Visiting the maker’s space – a massive barn on his coastal property – was such an inspiring adventure! Original work by the resident artist sets an ethereal tone in the space, and an antique bench handsomely blends the old with the new. A wall that divided the home’s living room and kitchen was removed, and the breezy and bright gathering room was born. Light walls, warm wood tones, cozy upholstery, clean lines and heritage elements create a welcoming atmosphere and invite lounging and conversation. The sun-drenched nook is the home’s main indoor dining area, with an extension table and sculpted chairs that are just right for family gatherings or morning rituals with the Sunday paper. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with every modern amenity, but its casual attitude is “let’s make a mess and eat!” The owner’s artwork graces the mantel over the new fireplace that was carved from a tree felled on the property, illustrating the thoughtful consideration of each element. The muted wool area rugs in the entryways and great room are hard-wearing for farm life, and the furniture’s classic lines, bold contrasting colors, deep seating and soft textures encourage cozy conversations or large group gatherings. The library is undoubtedly our favorite space in this home. Tucked in “speakeasy style” behind a hidden (wallpapered!) door in the moody wet bar, and drenched in deep green, the room offers a quiet retreat that hugs you in an embrace of books and family photos. The cozy settee nestled between the bookcases sits opposite a custom pair of modern cognac leather wing chairs. The area rug continues the storied look without the antique price tag with a piece from Loloi’s “Heritage Collection.” A little va-va-voom was requested for the powder bath and boy did we deliver! Custom wallpaper plays over original wainscotting and ceilings wrapped in more glorious green. The space evokes joy every time you open the door! A primary suite that would “transport us to another world” and be “classic yet modern, peaceful, collected and uncluttered” was a tall order. Our new furniture layout takes full advantage of the view of wine country hills and the Willamette River, welcomes fireside lounging, and serves as a calm respite for the lovely owners. Westwood Farmhouse truly was inspired by family, genuine love for home and graciousness for all who enter. Finishing the job was emotional for all involved because we were truly made to feel like part of the family. Photography by George Barberis

Home staging services of this space involved refinishing and reupholstering the dining room set, highlighting the grand fireplace with a warm venetian plaster and incorporating colors and art which would tie in with the clients existing drapery.

Everyone who sees this home immediately falls involve with it. With exposed wood beams, boho vibes, and touches of acrylic throughout, our intention was to create a classy, yet cozy, coastal cottage.

This project involved combining an existing kitchen, dining room, walk-in pantry and closet into one large eat-in kitchen. The customer wanted a mix of contemporary cabinets on a rustic floor for an overall industrial feel, and functionality was very important. Cabinets are from Thomasville, and are all maple. The base door style is "Blythe" and the color is graphite, while the upper door style is "Eden" in white. The main countertop is Ashen White granite, and the island is Carrara marble. The floor tile is from M.S. International's "Salvage" series of 6"x40" wood-look porcelain, and the color is Brown. The backsplash is a 3"x6" white gloss subway tile from Daltile, offset with charcoal grout. Design and photography by Mike McCue

Updated kitchen in historic district. Involved removing existing walls and designing new open concept kitchen while maintaining the Arts and Craft feel.

Pineapple House helped conceptualize then build a waterfront home on a fabulous lot. Our goal was to maximize the indoor/outdoor connection, which involved installing enormous code-compliant glass walls to grant uninterrupted vistas. You can see that from the front driveway, you can see all the way through the house to the river behind it.

This kitchen was part of a whole home remodel we completed in Clearwater in 2017. This was a full design-build project, in which we re-designed the kitchen to make it more open. Part of that involved the removal of a load-bearing wall, which required some strategic planning, but the end result was worth it.

This home renovation involved removing several walls and completely reconfiguring the kitchen layout to provide the family with the open concept floor plan they desired. The perimeter cabinetry is a Teaberry Maple finish with a contemporary flat panel door style. The island finish remains the same, but the simple raised panel door style and decorative base molding complement elements of the furniture pieces throughout the home. All of the cabinetry is provided by Decora. There are new appliances throughout including an undercounter beverage cooler, microwave, dishwasher, GE Profile refrigerator, and Frigidaire range.

Before and After photos of a concrete fireplace surround we recently installed in a residence in Old Greenwich, CT. This remodel involved the replacing of the traditional brick facade with a more contemporary concrete fireplace surround to match the new gray washed cabinetry and shelves. Instead of a single slab of concrete, the surround is made up of multiple panels of various size to give it a modern, deco look. Designed with John Johnstone of Modern Classics.
