This tiny home is located on a treelined street in the Kitsilano neighborhood of Vancouver. We helped our client create a living and dining space with a beach vibe in this small front room that comfortably accommodates their growing family of four. The starting point for the decor was the client's treasured antique chaise (positioned under the large window) and the scheme grew from there. We employed a few important space saving techniques in this room... One is building seating into a corner that doubles as storage, the other is tucking a footstool, which can double as an extra seat, under the custom wood coffee table. The TV is carefully concealed in the custom millwork above the fireplace. Finally, we personalized this space by designing a family gallery wall that combines family photos and shadow boxes of treasured keepsakes.

This beautiful closet is part of a new construction build with Comito Building and Design. The room is approx 16' x 16' with ceiling over 14' in some areas. This allowed us to do triple hang with pull down rods to maximize storage. We created a "showcase" for treasured items in a lighted cabinet with glass doors and glass shelves. Even CInderella couldn't have asked more from her Prince Charming! Photographed by Libbie Martin

The client found this lovely piece of artwork. This became the starting point for the redesign project and set the tone for the style and design choices. The vase and flowers, antique crock and grass bouquet, and antique crock under the console table belongs to the client. The console table is new. We added the candles and candle holders and the wire baskets. The client prefers that the design does not feel sparse and likes this look with the mix of accessories.

This picture really captures the feeling and evolution of the design plan for this home. The home transformed from a somewhat crowded space with a design plan that did not relate between rooms to a home with a sense of space and a cohesive design plan. The client loves her new space.

We love the surprise element of an open and spacious bookshelf at the side of the island. This would be one of the things that would catch the attention of people walking into the kitchen. Photo credits: Fauzi Anuar of www.zeeandmarina.com

Inspiration for a transitional light wood floor kitchen remodel in Vancouver with an island and gray backsplash

If you are in the market for a stunning kitchen design for your home remodel, look no further than this Steel gray and white two toned kitchen in Chelmsford MA. It boasts a spacious kitchen island with plentiful seating for up to six people, making it an ideal gathering spot for family and friends. Not only is it functional, but it's also stylish with glass cabinets that allow you to showcase your treasured items. The white backsplash and cabinets provide a clean and refreshing look that can help brighten up any space. This kitchen design is a perfect example of how a home remodel can add value and beauty to your home.

This custom millwork wall was thoughtfully designed to bring elegance, organization, and creativity together in one cohesive space. Created for a young artist and avid reader, the design maximizes storage while maintaining a calm and sophisticated atmosphere that feels timeless rather than overly youthful. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in a soft natural wood finish provides extensive concealed storage for books, art supplies, and ongoing creative projects. Frosted glass upper doors help soften the visual weight of the cabinetry while subtly concealing contents, reducing visual clutter, and minimizing dust collection — an ideal solution for a space with many treasured items and materials. Inside the cabinetry, custom interior drawer storage was accented in soft blue as a subtle and playful nod to the client’s favorite color. Beyond adding personality, the integrated drawer system helps keep creative supplies beautifully organized and easily accessible while creating a thoughtful moment of contrast within the light wood millwork. The integrated desk area features a gently curved work surface that extends into the room, encouraging both independent creativity and collaborative projects with friends. Warm brass hardware and lighting introduce refined detailing, while soft blue accents throughout the space create a calming and cohesive palette. Layered textures, thoughtful styling, and highly functional built-ins transform this bedroom into a creative retreat that supports focus, imagination, and everyday living beautifully.

Inspiration for a mid-sized contemporary open concept living room remodel in London with white walls

This beautifully maintained Colonial-style residence emphasizes minimalism and practicality in its interior design. The elegant spring-down seat English arm sofa has taken the place of a long-standing burgundy leather couch and chair. A custom high-back modern wing chair has replaced an older recliner, enhancing the room's aesthetic. To create a more open feel, a barrel-style swivel chair is dressed in a small houndstooth pattern. The coffee table, a treasured item, has been refinished to enhance its surface and showcase the stunning tiger maple grain. A long black console anchors the main wall behind the sectional, while a tall floor lamp with a black shade adds a harmonious touch of contrast.
