This tiny 8'x9' sunporch has just enough space to nap on the green velvet sofa, read in the 1927 wicker recliner (press the button on the sun-struck arm and the back reclines) or write letters at the knee hole desk (out of view next to the recliner) . The chalk painted electric fire place keeps the owners and the plants warm in the wintertime, while nearly 100 year old wooden floors hold memories of easy afternoons. That's a lot of life packed in to this jewel box.

AV Architects + Builders Location: Great Falls, VA, US A full kitchen renovation gave way to a much larger space and much wider possibilities for dining and entertaining. The use of multi-level countertops, as opposed to a more traditional center island, allow for a better use of space to seat a larger crowd. The mix of Baltic Blue, Red Dragon, and Jatoba Wood countertops contrast with the light colors used in the custom cabinetry. The clients insisted that they didn’t use a tub often, so we removed it entirely and made way for a more spacious shower in the master bathroom. In addition to the large shower centerpiece, we added in heated floors, river stone pebbles on the shower floor, and plenty of storage, mirrors, lighting, and speakers for music. The idea was to transform their morning bathroom routine into something special. The mudroom serves as an additional storage facility and acts as a gateway between the inside and outside of the home. Our client’s family room never felt like a family room to begin with. Instead, it felt cluttered and left the home with no natural flow from one room to the next. We transformed the space into two separate spaces; a family lounge on the main level sitting adjacent to the kitchen, and a kids lounge upstairs for them to play and relax. This transformation not only creates a room for everyone, it completely opens up the home and makes it easier to move around from one room to the next. We used natural materials such as wood fire and stone to compliment the new look and feel of the family room. Our clients were looking for a larger area to entertain family and guests that didn’t revolve around being in the family room or kitchen the entire evening. Our outdoor enclosed deck and fireplace design provides ample space for when they want to entertain guests in style. The beautiful fireplace centerpiece outside is the perfect summertime (and wintertime) amenity, perfect for both the adults and the kids. Stacy Zarin Photography

Love this mudroom! It is so convenient if you have kids because they can sit down and pull off their boots in the wintertime and there are ceramic tiles on the floor so cleaning up is easy! This property was beautifully renovated and sold shortly after it was listed. We brought in all the furniture and accessories which gave some life to what would have been only empty rooms. If you are thinking about listing your home in the Montreal area, give us a call. 514-222-5553. The Quebec real estate market has never been so hot. We can help you to get your home ready so it can look the best it possibly can!

The client recently moved into their home and had just a few furniture pieces for their existing finished basement. There was a nice bar but the client wanted a fireplace and different flooring and an area for their two young boys to play along with an office that would serve as a guest room as well. We were able to fish a gas line to the outside wall of the house and added a nice gas fireplace with a blower to give the room additional heat in the wintertime. We framed in the space for the fireplace, installed the vented fireplace then installed linear slate tile on the face of the fireplace and added a limestone mantel, brackets and hearth. We then flanked the fireplace with matching bookcases and cabinets to match the existing bar and mounted a TV above the fireplace. We removed the builder grade carpet and installed pre-finished hardwood flooring throughout. Area rugs were used to separate the play area from the TV-watching area and kid-friendly furniture was used in the play area. Sport memorabilia was hung throughout the area to give a relaxed feel.

All of the drapery panels throughout the main level of the house were hand embroidered down the leading of edge of the ivory linen face panels with this moorish inspired pattern. A natural, open weave, sheer fabric is attached to the backs of the panels, exposed at the leading edges. This application adds lovely texture from the outside of the home, softening the ivory and blending with the stone and stucco exterior.
