Our clients came to us because they were tired of looking at the side of their neighbor’s house from their master bedroom window! Their 1959 Dallas home had worked great for them for years, but it was time for an update and reconfiguration to make it more functional for their family. They were looking to open up their dark and choppy space to bring in as much natural light as possible in both the bedroom and bathroom. They knew they would need to reconfigure the master bathroom and bedroom to make this happen. They were thinking the current bedroom would become the bathroom, but they weren’t sure where everything else would go. This is where we came in! Our designers were able to create their new floorplan and show them a 3D rendering of exactly what the new spaces would look like. The space that used to be the master bedroom now consists of the hallway into their new master suite, which includes a new large walk-in closet where the washer and dryer are now located. From there, the space flows into their new beautiful, contemporary bathroom. They decided that a bathtub wasn’t important to them but a large double shower was! So, the new shower became the focal point of the bathroom. The new shower has contemporary Marine Bone Electra cement hexagon tiles and brushed bronze hardware. A large bench, hidden storage, and a rain shower head were must-have features. Pure Snow glass tile was installed on the two side walls while Carrara Marble Bianco hexagon mosaic tile was installed for the shower floor. For the main bathroom floor, we installed a simple Yosemite tile in matte silver. The new Bellmont cabinets, painted naval, are complemented by the Greylac marble countertop and the Brainerd champagne bronze arched cabinet pulls. The rest of the hardware, including the faucet, towel rods, towel rings, and robe hooks, are Delta Faucet Trinsic, in a classic champagne bronze finish. To finish it off, three 14” Classic Possini Euro Ludlow wall sconces in burnished brass were installed between each sheet mirror above the vanity. In the space that used to be the master bathroom, all of the furr downs were removed. We replaced the existing window with three large windows, opening up the view to the backyard. We also added a new door opening up into the main living room, which was totally closed off before. Our clients absolutely love their cool, bright, contemporary bathroom, as well as the new wall of windows in their master bedroom, where they are now able to enjoy their beautiful backyard!

Narrow spaces are dicey challenges. The space must flow to allow for the ebb and passage of we humans. It is not enough to think in straight lines. Sometimes juts and recess may affect our perception and usage of the space. Look within the fining room in the corner. There is one of the original house corner cabinets with a leaded glass design. We brought the design for unity into the kitchen. This willingness to bend a knee to the original architecture of the home increases the chances of success in smaller spaces. We may think each rom must be different however when done with ill thought, without any consideration for the rest of the house, the result more likely is a jarring sensation. Design well, seek beauty and quality. Jaeger and Ernst cabinetmakers believes in design and quality. Image # 21068.6 Photographer: Greg Jaeger

Simple board walls, off white cabinetry and trim set off the beautiful heart pine floor. Flooring was provided by Richard Morgan of The Heart Pine Company. Custom home builder Geoff Pitts of Ace Contracting of Charlottesville, VA built the residence. Working with a knowledgeable architect, and a terrific builder made the work of Jaeger & Ernst cabinetmakers much easier. A dedicated custom home contractor ensures plumb walls, level floors and fitted finish details with a willingness to work with the subcontractors. Architects bring to a living space unity, flow, detail consistency and innovation in short a full concept the cabinetmaker may embrace.

When we decided to construct a guest suite in our home we sought out designs and quotes from three recommended contractors. The quote from Living Space was our choice because they were the most professional, best-trained and most open to our suggestions. There price was also competitive. They took the extra time and helped shopped with us for fixtures, make helpful suggestions and even found someone to do upholstery work to complete the look of the suite. We now have an upgraded staircase, soundproof insulation, carpeting, a washroom with heated tile floor and storage closet, a sitting area and games room for our grandchildren and lots of extra storage space. We have been pleased with them as , the willingness to do follow-up work and are asking him to design additional storage and work area in our upstairs loft.

"The home remodeling process, from concept to a finished product, can be a long and stressful time for many couples. An endless number of questions always come to mind and timely decisions must be made if a successful project is desired. This is why we picked Taylor Pro Design and the reason we are so happy with the finished product! Kerry clearly explained what could and couldn’t be done from a design standpoint and the cost implications of the various options we were considering. In terms of the end product we couldn’t be happier. The attention to detail by his contractors is superb and Kerry’s willingness to make sure we were completely satisfied with everything is genuine and trustworthy. We would recommend Kerry Pro Design to anyone." ~ Julie S, Client Designer: Kerry Taylor Photos by: Jon Upson

It’s first impression was memorable as immediately after entering the front door, just past the dining table, there was a tree growing in the middle of home! Upon further inspection of the space it became apparent that this home had undergone several alterations during its lifetime... The homeowners unabashedness towards colour and willingness to embrace the home’s mid-century architecture made this home one of a kind. The existing T&G cedar ceiling, dropped beams, and ample glazing naturally leant itself to a mid-century space.

Alex Reid, One Kings Lane's lead interior designer for client services, and Rebecca sit down in The Studio at One Kings Lane’s New York offices to pore over palettes and dream up layouts. Stopping into The Studio: Any makeover takes a leap of faith, a willingness to free up yourself—and your space—for new ideas. To open up the full potential of this apartment, Rebecca and Alex met in The Studio in our Tribeca offices. There, everything is right at one’s fingertips: a full Pantone board and all sorts of furnishings you can test-drive on the spot. As Rebecca says, “It can make such a difference to touch and feel something.” Photo by Manuel Rodriguez
