When an international client moved from Brazil to Stamford, Connecticut, they reached out to Decor Aid, and asked for our help in modernizing a recently purchased suburban home. The client felt that the house was too “cookie-cutter,” and wanted to transform their space into a highly individualized home for their energetic family of four. In addition to giving the house a more updated and modern feel, the client wanted to use the interior design as an opportunity to segment and demarcate each area of the home. They requested that the downstairs area be transformed into a media room, where the whole family could hang out together. Both of the parents work from home, and so their office spaces had to be sequestered from the rest of the house, but conceived without any disruptive design elements. And as the husband is a photographer, he wanted to put his own artwork on display. So the furniture that we sourced had to balance the more traditional elements of the house, while also feeling cohesive with the husband’s bold, graphic, contemporary style of photography. The first step in transforming this house was repainting the interior and exterior, which were originally done in outdated beige and taupe colors. To set the tone for a classically modern design scheme, we painted the exterior a charcoal grey, with a white trim, and repainted the door a crimson red. The home offices were placed in a quiet corner of the house, and outfitted with a similar color palette: grey walls, a white trim, and red accents, for a seamless transition between work space and home life. The house is situated on the edge of a Connecticut forest, with clusters of maple, birch, and hemlock trees lining the property. So we installed white window treatments, to accentuate the natural surroundings, and to highlight the angular architecture of the home. In the entryway, a bold, graphic print, and a thick-pile sheepskin rug set the tone for this modern, yet comfortable home. While the formal room was conceived with a high-contrast neutral palette and angular, contemporary furniture, the downstairs media area includes a spiral staircase, comfortable furniture, and patterned accent pillows, which creates a more relaxed atmosphere. Equipped with a television, a fully-stocked bar, and a variety of table games, the downstairs media area has something for everyone in this energetic young family.

✨ Transforming Dreams into Reality: Kitchen Remodeling in Green Lake, Seattle ✨ We are thrilled to share the stunning transformation of a kitchen remodeling project we recently completed in the vibrant Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle. This project was truly a labor of love, and we're excited to showcase the remarkable results that have left our clients delighted. A Fusion of Elegance and Functionality At Levite Construction, we believe that a kitchen is not just a place to cook; it's the heart of a home. Our mission was to create a space that seamlessly blends elegance with functionality, and we're proud to say that we've achieved just that. Two-Tone Cabinets for Timeless Charm The first thing you'll notice when stepping into this kitchen is the captivating two-tone cabinet design. The deep, rich antique green cabinets exude warmth and sophistication, while the natural wood island adds a touch of rustic charm. This combination creates a visually stunning contrast that makes the kitchen truly stand out. Spanish Square Classic Tile for a Touch of Tradition To add a touch of timeless charm, we adorned the kitchen walls with exquisite Spanish square classic tiles. The intricate patterns and warm earthy tones of the tiles bring a sense of tradition and character to the space, making it feel like a cozy gathering place for family and friends. Clean and Modern Quartz Countertops For the countertops, we opted for sleek and pristine white quartz. Not only do these countertops create a clean and modern aesthetic, but they also offer durability and easy maintenance – ideal for a busy kitchen. A Layout Transformation Perhaps the most significant change in this kitchen remodeling project was the complete layout transformation. We reimagined the space to maximize functionality and create an open concept. This involved the removal of a load-bearing wall at the kitchen's front, which was a significant structural challenge that we were more than prepared to tackle. Reconfigured Appliances and a New Island To enhance convenience and efficiency, we rearranged all the kitchen appliances into a more comfortable and user-friendly layout. The centerpiece of the kitchen is the new island, which not only serves as a practical workspace but also as a hub for socializing and entertaining and having the microwave drawer style in the island. Open Concept Living By removing the load-bearing wall, we've seamlessly connected the kitchen with the adjoining living areas, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. This open concept design not only enhances the flow of natural light but also encourages interactions among family members and guests. A Testament to Collaboration This project was made possible through the collaborative efforts of our dedicated team and the unwavering trust of our clients. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. In conclusion, this kitchen remodeling project in Green Lake, Seattle, has been a truly transformative experience. It showcases our commitment to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and our passion for turning our clients' visions into reality. If you're inspired by this project and have dreams of your own, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at (425) 998-8958. We'd be honored to be a part of your next home transformation. Thank you for allowing us to share this incredible journey with you, and we look forward to bringing more dreams to life in the future! #KitchenRemodeling #SeattleHomes #DreamKitchen #HomeTransformation #Remodeling #Seattle

In the beach-side town of Asbury Park, New Jersey, stands Palomino Blackwing, a newly renovated 1920s Art Deco building. Now home to 23 modern duplex apartments, the building was designed with sustainable living in mind. Rather than seeking more space, the ideal design was shifted to using space ingeniously. Some highlights of each unit include: The Atoll 000 sofa/wall bed system transforms the living room into a guest bedroom for two when needed. A Lollisoft bunk bed system with a desk, which allows the downstairs flex space to function in multiple ways as needed: a home office/work space, lounge, or bedroom for two. The two steel frame, single beds easily fold down and comfortably accommodate two children or adults. Goliath transforming Console/Dining Table eliminates the need for a separate dining room, yet can easily accommodate up to 10 people. Folding Pocket Chairs that are less than 1” deep when closed; 8 chairs are stored on a rack less than 5.5” deep and hung on the wall above the Goliath.

Our studio fully renovated this Eagle Creek home using a soothing palette and thoughtful decor to create a luxurious, relaxing ambience. The kitchen was upgraded with clean white appliances and sleek gray cabinets to contrast with the natural look of granite countertops and a wood grain island. A classic tiled backsplash adds elegance to the space. In the living room, our designers structurally redesigned the stairwell to improve the use of available space and added a geometric railing for a touch of grandeur. A white-trimmed fireplace pops against the soothing gray furnishings, adding sophistication to the comfortable room. Tucked behind sliding barn doors is a lovely, private space with an upright piano, nature-inspired decor, and generous windows. ---Project completed by Wendy Langston's Everything Home interior design firm, which serves Carmel, Zionsville, Fishers, Westfield, Noblesville, and Indianapolis.

This custom living room unit and media center was designed to provide all that a Manhattan family needs for entertaining lots of guests or to just kick back, relax and watch some TV. The wall unit also shows off some of our favorite new material finishes with a combination of wood veneer, matte glass, and high gloss. Color played a big role in the design of this entertainment center. It contrasts a radiant high gloss orange with a warm Smoked Walnut wood grain for a balanced and modern look. The orange high gloss adds an artistic accent to the unit, while keeping the design free from chaotic lines and color schemes. Our no-handle design is made possible by a brushed aluminum J-channel that provides a clean look and makes the drawers easy to access. Flat style doors and drawer fronts also contribute to the smooth and modern European look of the media center. Our space saving entertainment system also delivers an abundant amount of floor to ceiling storage, both open and in drawers. There is ample room to store and display books, sculptures and home decor. Bottom cabinets are a suitable place to conceal and store media equipment. 1.5 inch thick floating shelves above the television and the box shelves alongside, featured in Midnight Ash, provide definition to the design and balance the high intensity orange elements. Top shelves provide space to arrange fragile keepsakes while bottom shelves can be used to display your favorite reads. Opposite the open shelving is a matte black glass fronted cabinet to house your favorite drinks and glassware for quick entertaining. The black satin glass is defined by an aluminum door frame. Clear glass shelves are found within the glass door cabinet and provide a useful place for storing dry bar essentials like rocks glasses and your preferred liquor selection. The cabinet includes vertical profile LED strip lights on both side panels that illuminate when the door is opened. The lighting shines through the shelves and sparkles off the glassware, silver ice bucket and colorful drinks you might keep there. The unit contains a sliding door that alternately hides a flat screen television and reveals a shelf. This feature paired with our wire management system helps keep your wall unit and your living area looking neat and tidy. The hidden hardware adds a unique function to this design without drawing the eye. Short arm flap stays and drop-down flap hinges allow for the soft, almost automatic opening of the long panel faces that conceal the drawers behind. The drawers are easy to access and provide the storage of multiple drawers without cluttering the look of the media center. This design is completed with integrated LED lighting. Behind the floating backing panel, adjustable LED lighting enhances the spacious look of the unit and provide mood lights for the living room. The shelves are equipped with recessed LED lights that make the orange high gloss color pop and showcase your displayed possessions. The floating shelves are equipped with horizontal profile LED strip lights to give the whole unit a warm glow. Our lighting systems offer features such as touch switches and dimmers, which add light, comfort and convenience to your living space. Tell us what you want in your living room media center.
