Custom iron banister work adds an amazing element of texture and movement that can be enjoyed from the formal living room. It acts as an art piece in itself. Gorgeous views continue with custom-blended hardwood stain that glows from natural sunlight beaming through the front door and foyer windows.

This retaining wall design is inspired by our Raffinato Wall. The smooth look of the Raffinato collection brings modern elegance to your tailored spaces. The 90mm high and 180mm high versions are packaged separately, allowing for a modular or completely linear design. This contemporary double-sided retaining wall is offered in an array of modern colors. This wall can be used to retain earth against erosion, create raised patios or subtly separate spaces with a blade wall. Raffinato is part of the dry cast collection.

From Outdated to Outstanding: A Complete Bathroom Makeover When we first stepped into this bathroom, it had all the hallmarks of an older design that had seen better days. The space was cramped and dim, with small, outdated tiles that made the room feel even tighter. The dark gray walls only added to the closed-in atmosphere, and the old popcorn ceiling made the space feel dated. The shower was small, boxed-in, and far from functional — no curbless entry, no modern touches, just a tight stall that didn’t do the space any justice. Our clients wanted a bathroom that felt open, bright, and contemporary — something that balanced function with a bold, modern aesthetic. So we stripped the bathroom down to its bones and rebuilt it with a fresh vision. Here’s what we did: Opened up the space: We removed the bulkhead and popcorn ceiling, instantly making the room feel larger, higher, and cleaner. The new flat ceiling was fitted with pot lights, creating warm, even lighting throughout the bathroom. Created a statement shower: The old shower was replaced with a stunning open-frame design featuring sleek black walls. By going curbless and removing the tight enclosure, the shower now feels like a luxurious centerpiece rather than a cramped afterthought. Brightened the room: To contrast the bold shower walls, we installed large white marble-style tiles that reflect light beautifully and add a timeless, elegant touch. This balance between dark and light creates depth and visual interest while making the room feel airy and sophisticated. Added custom cabinetry: A 60-inch white oak vanity was built to bring in warmth and natural character. Finished with bold black hardware, the cabinet ties in perfectly with the modern black shower and adds ample storage space without overwhelming the design. Upgraded the finishes: From the matte black hardware to the carefully selected fixtures, every detail was chosen to give this bathroom a cohesive, modern look that feels high-end yet comfortable. The end result? A bathroom that feels like a personal retreat — spacious, inviting, and effortlessly stylish. What was once a dark, dated room is now a bright, modern space where every detail works together.

The new Crestline solid collection has a traditional hardwood look with wire brushed texture, handcrafted edges, and sculpted profile creating more visual interest on the wide 5″ surface. The range of warm, rich historic-European inspired colors and timeless tones provides a perfect color pallet. The hickories bring beautiful grain patterns, where the oak floors have the classic tighter wood grain with subtle color variation from plank to plank. Crestline solid collection has Hallmark’s Nu Oil® protective low sheen finish which provides beautiful grain clarity.

This project was inspired by our Blu Grande collection, a perfect paving slab for modern poolsides and backyard design. Blu Grande is a large concrete patio stone available in multiple colors. Its smooth texture is sleek to the eye but rougher to the touch which avoids it from getting slippery when wet. The large rectangular shape works as an easy add-on into Blu 60 regular modular patterns but can also work as a stand-alone to create a very linear look. Check out the HD2 Blu Grande Smooth which is all about seamless looks with a tighter/poreless texture and anti-aging technology. • Project location: Drummondville, Quebec, Canada • Contractor: Alain Carrier Paysagiste • Designer: Alain Carrier

We were privileged to start with a fabulous octagon shaped area surrounded by windows with spectacular views of the lake. Our intention was to bring the outdoors in while providing function and good use of space. We were able to accomplish this by selecting natural products and coordinating comfort and style. The Lorts antique distressed round dining table and base is finished with a high gloss wax for durability and is surrounded by Lee Natchez Granite fabric placed on Lorts armless side chairs. Six fit comfortably around the 72” solid round table with two positioned in the room for pull up with additional guests. As chairs have become larger to accommodate the increase in the size of Americans, it is important to note that the width of seats creates a tighter fit than in the past. Keep this in mind when selecting for your space. The Fireworks jewel graphite pearl sisal round rug perfectly enhances the space and its pattern coordinates with the upholstered chairs. The Jonathan Charles limed wood and walnut lined drinks cabinet with hammered bronzed openwork base and abstract leaf details to the doors is inspired by European luxury furniture of the 1940’s. The interior has a mirrored inset and is back lit providing ambient lighting to bounce off crystal wine glasses hanging from above. The interior glistens. This piece completes the look of this fabulous room and takes top position as its focal point. The antler chandelier was the client’s favorite and crowns the room perfectly. Since there is adequate wall space for a buffet server, I commissioned a custom island for the kitchen with a walnut finish countertop on wheels that can be rolled in for dinner parties. This piece maximizes limited space in both areas while providing function and style. ©2018 All Rights Reserved, Photography by Mike Gullon
