Our client reached out to Finesse, Inc. looking for a pet sanctuary for their two cats. A design was created to allow the fur-babies to enter and exit without the assistance of their humans. A cat door was placed an the exterior wall and a 30" x 80" door was added so that family can enjoy the beautiful outdoors together. A pet friendly turf, designed especially with paw consideration, was selected and installed. The enclosure was built as a "stand alone" structure and can be easily dismantled and transferred in the event of a move in the future. Rob Kramig, Los Angeles

Reminiscent of the 1930s Farm House this bright custom kitchen with its glass door pantry, raspberry toile fabric and matching transfer ware gives new construction a feel of old world charm. The formal dining table with cane back chairs eliminates the need for a dining room. Brazilian cherry floors contrast the washed cream cabinets and granite counters. It is a delightful space to bask with a cup of coffee in the stream of early morning sunlight.

This wet room designed bathroom provides zero threshold access for bathing. The Ann Sacks teal glass deco tiles provide a visual guide for the shower area while adding a beautiful punch of color. A grab bar shampoo shelf by Invisia and an extra long second grab bar by Moen facilitates the transfer from a wheel chair or other mobility assistance devises to the shower seat (and toilet, behind the camera view). The handheld shower on an adjustable slide bar provides flexibility for bathers who are either seated or standing, as well as space for caregivers. The combination clothes washer/heat pump dryer makes good use of the space under the stairs as well as proximity to water supply pipes and waste drains that service the bathroom. The 2" x 2" floor tiles in the shower area provide additional traction to mitigate the potential for slips and falls.

Add layers of volume, texture, and effortless design appeal to any room with our custom Curtains & Drapery. Domestically hand-crafted by master tailors using color-coordinated thread and precision pattern matching, your view will always appear uniquely your own, whether your taste runs quietly neutral or bold and bright.

Separate volume controls and thermostatic valve are a great upgrade to any shower

The Kitchen re-design is built around work stations. Clean up, cooking, and preparing meals all work in zones. The island is truly an "island" in that it floats between the living room and the work zones. The deep drawers of the island make it an ideal prep zone where the kids can all be a part, and the table seating grows from the cook zone for easy meal transfer. Every day at the lake is easy and this kitchen layout keeps everyone in the family involved.

This is the family room after renovation. The previous owner clad the walls and ceiling of this addition with rough pine painted white. We designed and installed the custom fireplace with matte granite surround and the flanking cabinets to tie into the period architecture in the rest of the house. Previously this room felt like a ranch house added onto a colonial. This space used to be bisected by a partial wall so we added a steel beam to transfer the load (and support the upstairs master bathroom which turns out was falling through the floor). The existing oak floors were repaired and refinished, and the ship lap cladding which had been removed for the remodel was re installed. The cabinets to the right of the fireplace conceal media components. The desk has built in file storage as well as modem and router storage.

The original patio was about 274 square feet and we added 352 square feet. The total entertaining space is now over 600 square feet! The house also backs up to water so they wanted an outdoor space to spend watching the beautiful backdrop. As we extended the roof line, the homeowners agreed that an open gable would be too open, therefore we ended up with the hip roof with an added, smaller open gable. That allows some additional natural light to come through with their high living room windows. The fireplace was placed in the corner next to the home wall rather than out on the perimeter because we didn't want to take away from the view to the back. The outdoor kitchen is situated conveniently near the back door for transferring kitchen items. TK IMAGES
