This charming kitchen is the centerpiece of this home with the large island as a key gathering space for family and friends. The navy-blue painted cabinets and white countertop bring a simple elegance to the space while the over-sized brass pendants and brass fixtures add warmth. Balancing the cool blue and white palette are warm nutmeg coloured base cabinets with black hardware which are the perfect compliment to the rest of the space. The white countertops are balanced by a simple integrated hood fan and floating shelves, backed by classic off-white subway tiles. A cove crown molding finishes the cabinets to the ceiling while the shaker profile doors is repeated on the back of the island adding a sophisticated quality to this traditional kitchen. Flanked on either side by the stainless-steel fridge and wall oven, there is plenty of room to cook in this kitchen. The island features a deep sink with brass faucet, dishwasher and integrated pull-out garbage bins for easy organization. The induction cooktop is surrounded by deep drawers and ample counterspace; every cook’s dream! The layering of warm and cool tones gives this kitchen an old-world charm with all the comforts of modern-day living.

This beach house color blends in nicely with the ocean blues, timeless and beautiful. Exterior paint colors warm and cool neutrals are a great choice. Pure whites are quietly shifting to more nuanced whites that sit more softly on a stucco exterior. The limestone stone adds texture and formality. The roofline suggests a french country style. of course selecting an entrance door color we suggested pale yellow, blue and green. One suggestion was a contrasting deep green, reminiscent of nearby pine woods.

The transformation of this kitchen began with suggesting to the client that we remove two small walls that closed in the space and the soffits that were above the cabinets. This alteration allowed us to add a larger island and a bar area to the space. Dove White cabinets frame the perimeter, while we suggested a darker island to accent the existing hardwood floor stain throughout the house.

This client desired a fireplace design that was in keeping with a more contemporary feel. I suggested scaling the fireplace properly to the elevation allowed and the present square footage of the room.

We suggested marble-style ceramic tiles to create a serene contemporary bathroom. A fluted freestanding bath added that touch of luxury to the en-suite.

Completed in 2015, this project incorporates a Scandinavian vibe to enhance the modern architecture and farmhouse details. The vision was to create a balanced and consistent design to reflect clean lines and subtle rustic details, which creates a calm sanctuary. The whole home is not based on a design aesthetic, but rather how someone wants to feel in a space, specifically the feeling of being cozy, calm, and clean. This home is an interpretation of modern design without focusing on one specific genre; it boasts a midcentury master bedroom, stark and minimal bathrooms, an office that doubles as a music den, and modern open concept on the first floor. It’s the winner of the 2017 design award from the Austin Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and has been on the Tribeza Home Tour; in addition to being published in numerous magazines such as on the cover of Austin Home as well as Dwell Magazine, the cover of Seasonal Living Magazine, Tribeza, Rue Daily, HGTV, Hunker Home, and other international publications.

Large, arched windows pose a problem for many people when it comes to window treatments. In this picture, our client loved the light but still needed privacy so we suggested Hunter Douglas Silhouettes for their lower windows. They also wanted to add texture, color and drama so we suggested drapery panels hung on medallions that followed the curve of their windows. We thought it turned out pretty "beautiful".
