Completed in 2018, this Westlake Hills duplex, designed by Alterstudio Architects, underwent a dramatic transformation by mixing light & airy with dark & moody design. The goal of the project was to create a more intimate environment using a more saturated and dramatic palette. Additionally, it draws from warmer wood tones such as walnut alongside luxurious textures, particularly in navy, dark grey, and emerald green. The end result is an elegant, timeless, and comfortable space conducive to cozying up with a book at the end of a long day.

Kelly: “Really all I changed was the wall design. They had initially done a lot more formal, less wood with more intricate designs and I never liked it. I felt terrible about it but then that episode of Fixer Upper came on and it was like Kismet. That’s it, ship lap everywhere.” ************************************************************************* Close up of painted tongue and groove siding showing detail of the micro-bevel pattern.

The traditional chevron pattern is married with a touch of herringbone to create a hybrid pattern all it’s own. If you look closely, you’ll see our Turnkey Chevron wallpaper pattern forms the graphic in our logo. A strong sense of movement gives this pattern a tangible energy that will activate whatever space it adorns.

We transformed this classic brick home's kitchen by removing walls separating it from the dining room, stairs, and garage entry, creating long sight lines and directing focus to the stunning outdoors. Bold, dark pewter cabinets with white woodwork, new ceiling beams, silver insets, woven panels, and varied hardware turned the cabinets into focal points. Dramatic lighting and sleek natural stone counters completed the striking look.
