At Tom Peter Flooring, we take pride in transforming hardwood floors into stunning, modern surfaces that not only elevate the space but also reflect our client’s unique style. One of our recent projects took us to Downers Grove, Illinois, where we had the pleasure of refinishing a gorgeous Brazilian Cherry hardwood floor and staircase—and the results speak for themselves. Brazilian Cherry, known for its rich tones and durability, is an exotic hardwood that adds warmth and luxury to any room. But like all floors, even the most beautiful ones can use a refresh over time. Our client wanted a more modern, updated look, and we were happy to deliver. Using Lägler sanding equipment and Bona professional finishing products, we carefully sanded and refinished the floors, applying a custom stain that gave this classic wood a more contemporary feel. The transformation is truly breathtaking—from deep, vibrant hues to a smooth, sleek finish that ties the room together perfectly. The staircase also got a major upgrade. We remodeled the entire structure, giving it a clean, stylish look to match the updated flooring. It’s now a true centerpiece of the home, adding elegance and flow to the overall design.

Warm Minimalist Kitchen with Architectural Detail This angle showcases the thoughtful transition from the cooking zone to the casual dining peninsula. By balancing the bold pattern of the backsplash with soft, natural textures, this kitchen achieves a high-end, curated look perfect for modern entertaining. Design Highlights: The Peninsula Hub: A deep white quartz peninsula serves as a multi-functional surface for prep work and casual dining, featuring an under-mount sink and a high-arc brushed nickel faucet. Patterned Precision: The teal chevron glass tile provides a continuous, vibrant backdrop that wraps into the corner, creating visual depth and a cohesive design language. Warmth from Above: In the background, exposed wood ceiling beams echo the vertical grain of the rift-oak cabinetry, grounding the airy, white-walled space with organic texture. Integrated Lighting: A combination of recessed LED waffer lights and focused task lighting ensures the workspace is both bright and atmospheric. Streamlined Storage: The slab-front cabinetry extends to the ceiling, maximizing storage while maintaining a clean, handle-free look on the upper units.

The signature design features a clean-lined pool with a shallow tanning ledge for sunbathing comfort. The pool's inviting blue tile interior is beautifully framed by crisp, wide white or light-toned coping, creating a bold contrast. The surrounding environment is characterized by a sleek mix of surfaces: lush, vibrant artificial turf is often used to create a colorful backdrop, segmented by geometric stepping stones of light-toned stone or concrete for a highly modern, structured look. Elevated water feature walls, finished with the same shimmering blue tile, introduce an element of drama, employing elegant sheer descent scuppers or waterfalls that cascade into the water, providing a constant element of soothing sound and motion. This collection epitomizes a sophisticated, multi-functional design, integrating dedicated luxurious zones for relaxation and entertaining into an elegant and beautifully contrasted outdoor haven.

A blue flat-panel kitchen is a modern and stylish culinary space that embraces the serene and inviting qualities of the color blue while incorporating a streamlined and minimalist design. The defining feature of this kitchen is the cabinetry, characterized by flat-panel doors and drawers. The cabinetry, often sleek and handleless, creates a clean and uncluttered appearance, lending a contemporary aesthetic to the room. The choice of blue as the cabinet color introduces a sense of calm and sophistication, making it a refreshing departure from more traditional kitchen colors. The shade of blue can vary from soft and muted pastels to deeper and more vibrant blues, allowing for a range of design possibilities. The color choice may be influenced by personal preferences, and it can evoke different moods, from tranquil and coastal to vibrant and energetic. Countertops in this kitchen are typically crafted from materials like quartz or solid surface, providing a sleek and easy-to-maintain workspace. The countertops may be in complementary colors, such as white, gray, or black, to balance and enhance the overall design. Backsplashes can vary from classic subway tiles to more modern and colorful options, adding an element of style and texture to the space. These may also feature blue hues, creating a cohesive and harmonious design. Flooring options include materials like light-colored tile or hardwood, which create a neutral foundation that complements the blue cabinetry while brightening the room. An area rug beneath the dining or cooking area can add a cozy and personal touch. Pendant lights with contemporary designs provide both functional lighting and a decorative element, often adding a touch of metal or glass to the design. These fixtures contribute to the modern and stylish ambiance of the kitchen. The walls are typically painted in neutral or light colors, allowing the blue cabinets to stand out and create a focal point. Natural light pouring in through windows enhances the bright and open atmosphere of the space. A blue flat-panel kitchen is a contemporary and sophisticated setting for culinary creativity and social gatherings. The harmonious fusion of sleek design, the calming influence of the color blue, and functional elements creates a space that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly practical for modern living.

This cozy gathering space in the heart of Davis, CA takes cues from traditional millwork concepts done in a contemporary way. Accented with light taupe, the grid panel design on the walls adds dimension to the otherwise flat surfaces. A brighter white above celebrates the room’s high ceilings, offering a sense of expanded vertical space and deeper relaxation. Along the adjacent wall, bench seating wraps around to the front entry, where drawers provide shoe-storage by the front door. A built-in bookcase complements the overall design. A sectional with chaise hides a sleeper sofa. Multiple tables of different sizes and shapes support a variety of activities, whether catching up over coffee, playing a game of chess, or simply enjoying a good book by the fire. Custom drapery wraps around the room, and the curtains between the living room and dining room can be closed for privacy. Petite framed arm-chairs visually divide the living room from the dining room. In the dining room, a similar arch can be found to the one in the kitchen. A built-in buffet and china cabinet have been finished in a combination of walnut and anegre woods, enriching the space with earthly color. Inspired by the client’s artwork, vibrant hues of teal, emerald, and cobalt were selected for the accessories, uniting the entire gathering space.

Josh Partee Photography With sweeping views of the Willamette river and Mt. Hood, this Atwater Place condo was designed with a balance of minimalism and livability in mind. A complete kitchen remodel brought a dark interior kitchen to the light and a full furnishings package welcomed Los Angeles transplants home to their new modern and bright residence. Our clients, a retired camera operator for both feature films and television and a producer/production manager on numerous television series including Weeds and The Middle, relocated from their traditionally-styled LA bungalow to Portland in the Summer of 2014. The couple sought a design departure from their long-term California residence and a fresh start for their new life in the South Waterfront. With only two pieces of sentimental furniture and a handful of artwork included in the plan, we set out to create a comfortable and clean-lined furnishings package complimenting the broad southeast views. Organically shaped upholstery pieces juxtaposed with angular steel and wood tables create a soft balance in the open floor plan. Several custom pieces, including a dining table designed by our studio and a custom hand-blown glass chandelier crafted by Scott Schiesel with Lightlite compliment timeless pieces from Knoll, Herman Miller, and B&B Italia. The kitchen is designed to reflect light and create brilliance in a space that is otherwise naturally dark. A material balance of stainless steel, back painted glass, quartz composite, lacquer, and mirror all play their part in creating a vibrant cooking environment. We collectively decided to forgo the traditional island pendant for a linear commercial fixture that provides tremendous light to the prep surface and creates an unexpected architectural element. The mirrored prep island creates the illusion of open space while concealing casework and wine storage on the working side of the kitchen. It is worth noting that this project was designed and installed almost entirely while our clients were still living in LA and wrapping up professional obligations and selling their home. This afforded us the tremendous opportunity to send our clients to showrooms not available in Portland to view key pieces before final specification. Textiles and finish samples were approved via mail and communication took place over e-mail, telephone, and an occasional office visit. This unique process lead to a successful result and a beautifully balanced living environment.

This basement apartment transformation by HouseHome reimagines a compact lower-level residence into a vibrant “Modern Collector’s Cottage” for a single woman seeking a home that feels electric, expressive, and deeply personal. Designed to celebrate individuality, the space was curated as a true copy-and-paste reflection of the client’s personality, blending her extensive collections, hobbies, and memorabilia into a cohesive, highly stylized interior. The result is a bright, playful, and elevated living environment that seamlessly unites design, modern comfort, and emotional storytelling.

The finished apartment is now a joy-filled, organized, and an inspirational retreat that celebrates life, memories, and personal expression while delivering luxury-level styling in a highly livable form.

Project Description: Warm Modern Kitchen + Bath Refresh This kitchen remodel blends warm, rich materials with durable, modern functionality. We elevated the space with custom cherry wood cabinetry, bringing timeless elegance and a sense of craftsmanship to the heart of the home. The countertops and full-height backsplash feature Mystere Gold Quartz from ARC Surfaces—a creamy, ivory-toned quartz with subtle gold veining. This material is not only visually striking but also non-porous, stain-resistant, and low maintenance—ideal for everyday use. Fixtures include a Kohler Vibrant Stainless kitchen faucet, Kohler undermount single-bowl sink, and flat black cabinet hardware, all sourced through Solutions Bath & Flooring in collaboration with KellyJo. The hardwood flooring throughout was carefully sanded, refinished, and stained using a custom mix from DuraSeal, adding depth and warmth to every step. For the bathroom, we kept the updates minimal yet impactful: we installed a new vanity top using the same quartz, Moen Doux brushed nickel faucets, and Kohler Caxton undermount sinks—all also sourced through Solutions Bath & Flooring. The continuity in materials ties the spaces together and maintains a clean, cohesive aesthetic. Design & Build: Veron Builders LLC + Boulder Design Group Vendors & Materials: Cabinetry: Custom Cherry Countertops/Backsplash: Mystere Gold Quartz – ARC Surfaces Kitchen Fixtures: Kohler via Solutions Bath & Flooring Bathroom Fixtures: Moen + Kohler via Solutions Bath & Flooring Hardwood Floors: Refinished & custom-stained – DuraSeal This project is a beautiful example of how selective upgrades and premium materials can completely transform the look and feel of a home while maintaining warmth, function, and personal style.
