The first information you should know when looking for a new bathroom vanity is the space available. This is very important, as you want your bathroom to look neat with everything in place. After you know the space, you should consider what shape, size, and color or finish you want your vanity to be. Lastly, it is time to find what features you want. One of the most popular types of bathroom vanity features is storage doors. The reason for this is because vanities with doors make it easy to access your storage. A high-quality vanity cabinet with doors can help change the look from modern to traditional, or vice versa, depending on the door design. Do you want the vanity to have a countertop, and undermount sinks? Do you want the vanity to have vessel sinks? Or do you want it with recessed sinks? It all depends on the look that you want to give to your bathroom, as bathroom vanities are certainly the focal point in any bathroom. We offer a wide range of styles from modern to contemporary, making it easy for you to choose a vanity that will match any style you have in mind. We also offer options such as wall mounted or floor standing vanities, single or double sink vanities, mirror or medicine cabinet vanities. These options allow you to customize your bathroom vanity to meet your exact preference. Single Sink bathroom vanities are ideal for small bathrooms. A small bathroom does not mean that you have to waive elegance and style. You can find a single sink vanity for your small bathroom, which will help pull together your design. Small bathroom vanities can be purchased with or without mirrors cabinet set. It is important to measure your space before purchasing a small bath vanity to make sure it is just the right fit. In the other hand, double sink bathroom vanities are perfect for master bathrooms. Sharing the bathroom in the morning can be difficult with only one sink. If you share the bathroom in the morning, then a double vanity will give you all space you need. A double sink bathroom vanity is not only good to share with your family, or the person you are living with, but it also gives an appealing touch to your bathroom with its space – looks like everything is in place here!

As written in Northern Home & Cottage by Elizabeth Edwards In general, Bryan and Connie Rellinger loved the charm of the old cottage they purchased on a Crooked Lake peninsula, north of Petoskey. Specifically, however, the presence of a live-well in the kitchen (a huge cement basin with running water for keeping fish alive was right in the kitchen entryway, seriously), rickety staircase and green shag carpet, not so much. An extreme renovation was the only solution. The downside? The rebuild would have to fit into the smallish nonconforming footprint. The upside? That footprint was built when folks could place a building close enough to the water to feel like they could dive in from the house. Ahhh... Stephanie Baldwin of Edgewater Design helped the Rellingers come up with a timeless cottage design that breathes efficiency into every nook and cranny. It also expresses the synergy of Bryan, Connie and Stephanie, who emailed each other links to products they liked throughout the building process. That teamwork resulted in an interior that sports a young take on classic cottage. Highlights include a brass sink and light fixtures, coffered ceilings with wide beadboard planks, leathered granite kitchen counters and a way-cool floor made of American chestnut planks from an old barn. Thanks to an abundant use of windows that deliver a grand view of Crooked Lake, the home feels airy and much larger than it is. Bryan and Connie also love how well the layout functions for their family - especially when they are entertaining. The kids' bedrooms are off a large landing at the top of the stairs - roomy enough to double as an entertainment room. When the adults are enjoying cocktail hour or a dinner party downstairs, they can pull a sliding door across the kitchen/great room area to seal it off from the kids' ruckus upstairs (or vice versa!). From its gray-shingled dormers to its sweet white window boxes, this charmer on Crooked Lake is packed with ideas! - Jacqueline Southby Photography

When asked to renovate an existing pseudo-Mediterranean home located directly on the ocean, the owner had one main request; to open up the views towards the ocean. Architecturally, it was important to respect the character of the existing house but larger openings would evidently alter the appearance of the house. Therefore, the design approach became one of reduction, rather than addition. Using order, proportion and more subdued color tones drawn from a limited material palette, the house naturally started to appear more sophisticated. On the exterior, a theater style stair leads you from an exterior loggia to the pool deck all the while never taking the focus of your attention away from the serenity of the ocean ahead. The procession of spaces from exterior, covered trellis, covered loggia, interior and vice versa became the driving force behind the spatial experience of the home and its relationship to its beach-front context.

Removing a non-structural wall behind the toilet revealed extra space below the roof of this second-floor bath. We worked with the homeowners to develop a new plan and flipped the plumbing; building a generous shower in place of the toilet and vice versa. The idea produced a surprisingly spacious Master Bath, maintaining the L-shape of their original room. Photos by Greg Schmidt

Step into a mesmerizing evening retreat that effortlessly extends your living space, creating a harmonious connection between indoor and outdoor living. Through expansive balcony doors, the back entry of your house seamlessly merges with the captivating outdoor area, allowing the warm glow of the setting sun to flood the interior while offering a breathtaking view of the tranquil pool oasis. As the sun starts its slow descent, the sparkling pool takes center stage in this delightful setting, gracefully nestled slightly below the house floor. Two sets of steps, each with two steps on either side, are gently illuminated, leading from the back entry to the pool area, making it a breeze to move between the house and the inviting waters. The large balcony doors, with their expansive glass panels, blur the boundaries between inside and outside, offering uninterrupted views of the serene pool from within the house. This seamless integration creates a sense of openness and connectivity, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the evening backyard even when you're indoors. The pool area itself transforms into a captivating oasis as the sky paints itself with hues of orange and pink. Its tranquil waters reflect the vibrant colors, while soft outdoor lights create a warm and inviting ambiance. The soothing sounds of water cascading from fountains or gentle ripples from a swim add to the tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for unwinding and rejuvenating after a long day. Strategically placed comfortable loungers and seating arrangements are gently lit, encouraging you to spend leisurely hours outdoors, whether you're basking in the last rays of the sun or finding a cozy spot under the soft glow of lamps. Lush landscaping and carefully selected plants surround the pool, providing privacy and tranquility. The beauty of nature embraces the evening space, offering a soothing backdrop and a touch of natural elegance. As you step from the house to the poolside or vice versa, the enchanting evening atmosphere envelops you, making the entire area feel like an oasis of leisure and relaxation. It's a space where you can escape the hustle of daily life, unwind in the beauty of nature, and create cherished moments with family and friends—all within the comfort of your own home as the evening sets in.

The A-17 Pavilion is a concept design created to host our client’s family and friends on Sundays. Its form is generated by twisting the geometry 90° so that the wall becomes the roof and vice versa. The pavilion is a wooden self-structure with integrated half-lap joints resembling bookshelf frames. Its exterior faces are covered by black satin aluminum plates that reflect the light and colors of its context. The A-17 Pavilion is a statement for integration to its natural environment while having its own protagonist character.

This deck in Southwest Austin was built in beautiful, low maintenance PVC AZEK decking in Kona from the Harvest Collection with a custom horizontal railing system. Whereas the norm in deck railing is often the use of vertical railing, Archadeck of Austin also turned up the urban appeal of the space and opened up the views by utilizing a horizontal railing design. The new deck also features a custom cedar freestanding pergola adding a shady spot and loads of charm to the space! To the farthest left side of the deck we also designed and installed a cedar privacy wall that helps subdue the neighbors view into the backyard and vice versa. All the framework of the pergola, and the deck posts are finished in rustic cedar adding warmth and richness to the entire space. Deck lighting by TimberTech and HardiePlank siding skirting finish off the perfection of this backyard space to a “T” and much to the happiness of the homeowner. Photos courtesy Archadeck of Austin.

Water has its own logic, and its own power. There are no easy ways to keep it from going where it wants to; short of expensive and drastic solutions, water always wins over any effort to control it. So when we were asked to help create an outdoor space to complement a planned home on the edge of a lake, we decided to invite the lake into channel it, that is, so that it extended eastward onto the property in a stream that passed below a walkway connecting two wings of the house. To emphasize the impression that the stream had split naturally around the structure, we built two multitier waterfalls. The overall construction was of stonea mixture of native limestone and other rocks in a design theme that extended from outdoors to indoors and vice versa, giving a seamless feel to the built environment and its natural surroundings. The landscaping utilizes only native plants, though the blue spruces edging the stonework are less common here than the deciduous oak-dominated forest that lies beyond it. The owner of the property says that it gives the feel of Colorado, one of the familys favorite getaways, to the home.

The clients were looking for an outdoor space they could retreat to and enjoy with their family. The backyard of this home features flower gardens, a gas burning lamp post, decorative pergola extending from the main house to the garage, 30' fiberglass pool with a splashpad, gas burning firepit area, patio area for outdoor dining, and a screened in porch complete with a 36" fireplace. The pergola is aesthetically pleasing while giving some protection from the elements journeying from house to garage and vice versa. Even with a 30' pool, there is plenty of yard space for family games. The placement of the firepit when lit gives just the right amount of ambiance for overlooking the property in the evening. The patio is located adjacent to the screened in porch that leads into the kitchen for ease of dining and socializing outdoors. The screened in porch allows the family to enjoy aspects of the backyard during inclement weather.

Being cool isn’t just about style. It’s about being resilient, going with the flow and adapting to change. What does this have to do with home interiors? Your home interiors reflect your own interior and vice versa. And your home should be your sanctuary, where you can relax, chill out and find peace. And, when summer’s heat and humidity is strongest, coolness in your home keeps you comfortable. The Power of White Sometimes white gets a bad rap because of its reputed use in medical settings. When you use white in your home, however, it creates an entirely different vibe (unless you have a lab in your home). White is simple. White is fresh. White is calming. And being calm is the foundation of cool.
