Designed and built by Jessica Koltun Home, this Dallas luxury residence blends timeless architecture with thoughtfully curated interiors and elevated designer details. From custom cabinetry and natural stone to layered textures and warm finishes, every space was designed for the way you live and built for the life you want. Located in one of Dallas’ most sought-after neighborhoods, this home showcases our signature approach to luxury new construction, transitional design, and high-end living.

This full-scale remodel transformed a dated traditional home into an elegant, modernized retreat. The project involved reimagining every room—from the formal living spaces to the kitchen, bathrooms, and private suites—blending classic design elements with luxurious modern amenities. High-end finishes, custom millwork, and thoughtfully curated materials were used throughout to elevate and further develop the home’s character. The kitchen now features elegant lines, marble countertops, and luxury appliances, designed for both beauty and functionality. Bathrooms were reconfigured for spa-like comfort, with features such , focal tiling, and freestanding tubs. Additional hardwood flooring connects to original, and designer lighting create continuity and sophistication across the spaces. We also enhanced flow and openness by selectively removing and combining islands, and expanding key areas to accommodate contemporary living without sacrificing traditional elegance. From concept to completion, this project exemplifies USI's design-build approach—seamlessly integrating architecture, interior design, and craftsmanship to deliver a cohesive, upscale home tailored to modern lifestyles.

his timeless home was built in 1909 in Seattle’s Capitol Hill historic district. The house features gorgeous architectural details from the turn of the century including sculpted moldings, custom wood cutouts, and hand-made tiles. The kitchen was previously remodeled in a style that departed from the home’s historic period. Each room was thoughtfully curated to ensure aesthetic beauty inspired by the home’s original style. We renovated the kitchen, powder room, and restored the butler’s pantry with period details. Generous casement windows were added in the kitchen that flood the room with sunlight. The kitchen design needed to be functional for a family of eight, so we paid great attention to appliance placement, storage, and flow. The furniture and light fixtures selected throughout the home are simple and elegant, allowing the detailed architectural features to shine.

Two Sisters. Two Homes. Two Distinct Visions. We designed two full gut renovations for two sisters, creating vacation homes that uniquely reflect their individual lifestyles and personal style.

While they traveled the world, we seamlessly managed the entire process, allowing them to return home to a beautifully transformed sanctuary designed just for them.

A large sectional offers generous seating for family movie nights, while layered textiles and patterned accent pillows introduce depth, texture, and subtle color.

Located in Newport Beach’s coveted Port Streets, this family home was taken down to the studs and completely reimagined to create a layered, detail-rich forever home. We expanded key living spaces — including the kitchen and primary bathroom — to enhance both functionality and everyday luxury. Throughout the home, thoughtfully curated moments bring personality and warmth. From the beautifully wallpapered dining room to the checkerboard marble laundry room, each space was designed to feel timeless yet distinctive. Living spaces and bathrooms were individually styled using a cohesive palette of blues, greens, and warm browns — creating a sense of flow while allowing each room its own identity. The result is a thoughtfully tailored home that blends classic design with family-centered living in one of Newport Beach’s most beloved neighborhoods. This home was featured in the 2026 Corona del Mar Home Tour.

Design by Blue Heron in Partnership with Cantoni. Photos By: Stephen Morgan For many, Las Vegas is a destination that transports you away from reality. The same can be said of the thirty-nine modern homes built in The Bluffs Community by luxury design/build firm, Blue Heron. Perched on a hillside in Southern Highlands, The Bluffs is a private gated community overlooking the Las Vegas Valley with unparalleled views of the mountains and the Las Vegas Strip. Indoor-outdoor living concepts, sustainable designs and distinctive floorplans create a modern lifestyle that makes coming home feel like a getaway. To give potential residents a sense for what their custom home could look like at The Bluffs, Blue Heron partnered with Cantoni to furnish a model home and create interiors that would complement the Vegas Modern™ architectural style. “We were really trying to introduce something that hadn’t been seen before in our area. Our homes are so innovative, so personal and unique that it takes truly spectacular furnishings to complete their stories as well as speak to the emotions of everyone who visits our homes,” shares Kathy May, director of interior design at Blue Heron. “Cantoni has been the perfect partner in this endeavor in that, like Blue Heron, Cantoni is innovative and pushes boundaries.” Utilizing Cantoni’s extensive portfolio, the Blue Heron Interior Design team was able to customize nearly every piece in the home to create a thoughtful and curated look for each space. “Having access to so many high-quality and diverse furnishing lines enables us to think outside the box and create unique turnkey designs for our clients with confidence,” says Kathy May, adding that the quality and one-of-a-kind feel of the pieces are unmatched. rom the perfectly situated sectional in the downstairs family room to the unique blue velvet dining chairs, the home breathes modern elegance. “I particularly love the master bed,” says Kathy. “We had created a concept design of what we wanted it to be and worked with one of Cantoni’s longtime partners, to bring it to life. It turned out amazing and really speaks to the character of the room.” The combination of Cantoni’s soft contemporary touch and Blue Heron’s distinctive designs are what made this project a unified experience. “The partnership really showcases Cantoni’s capabilities to manage projects like this from presentation to execution,” shares Luca Mazzolani, vice president of sales at Cantoni. “We work directly with the client to produce custom pieces like you see in this home and ensure a seamless and successful result.” And what a stunning result it is. There was no Las Vegas luck involved in this project, just a sureness of style and service that brought together Blue Heron and Cantoni to create one well-designed home.

A space that tells a story—layered, intentional, and deeply personal.

Rich jewel tones bring warmth and depth to the furniture, while collected art and meaningful accessories add soul and authenticity. The result? A space that feels vibrant, grounded, and entirely one of a kind. Design, at its best, is personal—and this one speaks volumes.

With lovely lake views, this home deserved an interior that reflected the breezy, relaxed essence of lakeside living. Our challenge was to balance contemporary elements—especially the bold black stone in the kitchen— with a warm, inviting feel perfect for both entertaining and everyday family life. We embraced lake-inspired hues of blues and greens, layering in organic textures like seagrass, grasscloth, jute and sisal but in modern charcoal-to-black tones. Working within the existing palette, we enhanced the home’s character with a thoughtfully curated, fully staged design, down to the table settings. The result is a sophisticated yet welcoming retreat that truly feels like home.
