This entry sets the tone for a bold, personality-driven renovation of a 100+ year-old Minneapolis home. Deep olive green wraps the walls, trim, and full-glass entry door, while vertical wood slats add architectural texture and dimension. Black-and-white checkerboard flooring brings a graphic contrast, and sculptural amber wall lights add warmth to the moody palette. The result is a small but memorable entry that embraces the character of the original home while giving it a fresh, unexpected point of view.

Living room - transitional living room idea in Cleveland

Staircase - contemporary staircase idea

The Sherman Oaks Transitional Powder Room Remodel was inspired by the homeowners' desire for a blend of classic elegance and modern functionality. This project began with a vision to transform an outdated powder room into a sleek, inviting space perfect for guests. We incorporated a custom-designed vanity, a contemporary faucet, and a statement mirror to reflect the transitional style that balances traditional warmth with modern clean lines. Using locally sourced tiles and fixtures, we brought a unique, Sherman Oaks-inspired vibe into the design. The warm lighting and a carefully chosen color palette add an element of serenity to the room, making it a cozy retreat. Working closely with the homeowners, we made sure their personal touch was evident in every detail, from the textured wallpaper to the choice of decor accents. Being local to Sherman Oaks ourselves, we took great pride in executing this project, turning a small space into a sophisticated gem that elevates the entire home's ambiance.
