This handcrafted Ash dining table was designed to prove that smaller dining spaces don't have to sacrifice beauty, comfort, or functionality. Crafted from solid USA-sourced Ash hardwood, this modern pedestal dining table is ideal for dining nooks, breakfast areas, apartments, and homes where maximizing space is just as important as creating a welcoming place to gather. The sculptural pedestal base provides generous legroom while the uniquely rounded corners make it easier to move around the table without bumping into sharp edges, perfect for everyday family living. This custom dining table was created for a client in Brighton, Michigan, who wanted to make the most of a compact dining nook while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Every element of the design was chosen with purpose, creating a table that feels open, comfortable, and inviting whether you're enjoying a quick breakfast or gathering with family for dinner. Unlike traditional four-legged tables, the pedestal base eliminates the frustration of bumping knees or maneuvering around corner legs, allowing chairs to be positioned more freely while giving the table its own distinctive personality. The natural grain of the Ash hardwood shines beautifully through the finish, showcasing the warmth, texture, and timeless character that only solid hardwood can provide. Unlike mass-produced dining tables built from particle board or veneer, this table is handcrafted from genuine solid hardwood that's designed to serve your family for generations. Every board is carefully selected for its beauty and character, making each table truly one of a kind while providing exceptional durability that improves with age.

This project is an Electronic House Magazine award winner: http://electronichouse.com/article/small_house_goes_big_with_home_automation We were brought into this project just as the major remodel was underway, allowing us to bring together a feature-rich audio/video and automation system with elegant integration into the spaces. This system provides simple control and automation of the lights, climate, audio/video, security, video surveillance, and door locks. The homeowner can use their iPads or iPhones to control everything in their home, or when away.

This one is near and dear to my heart. Not only is it in my own backyard, it is also the first remodel project I've gotten to do for myself! This space was previously a detached two car garage in our backyard. Seeing it transform from such a utilitarian, dingy garage to a bright and cheery little retreat was so much fun and so rewarding! This space was slated to be an AirBNB from the start and I knew I wanted to design it for the adventure seeker, the savvy traveler, and those who appreciate all the little design details . My goal was to make a warm and inviting space that our guests would look forward to coming back to after a full day of exploring the city or gorgeous mountains and trails that define the Pacific Northwest. I also wanted to make a few bold choices, like the hunter green kitchen cabinets or patterned tile, because while a lot of people might be too timid to make those choice for their own home, who doesn't love trying it on for a few days?At the end of the day I am so happy with how it all turned out!
