Fall color of the paperbark maple (Acer griseum) Le jardinet
This is an example of a traditional landscaping in Seattle.

Enter the living room. there are 3 zoned areas for activity. A bay window is has a comfy seat-where the children curl up for studying or reading. Central in the room around the fireplace [ original to the home in glazed tile] is the main seating-comfortable chairs and sofa. A writing table behind the sofa allows for serving or reading. Tall windows are completed by flat roman shades trimmed. Illuminating the bay window is an original chandelier-re purposed from another room.

This spacious master suite showcases a rustic box beam ceiling detail, enhanced with subtle shades of navy, gold and cream, to create a casually elegant retreat

This bathroom was stripped to the studs; removing floor to ceiling tile, a built-in jet bathtub, and closed off water closet and walk-in closet. All plumbing locations stayed as-is to reduce timeline and save on costs which could be allocated towards the custom vanity and closing off 1 window. The goal was an open concept, spa-inspired space.

Contemporary exterior home idea in Raleigh

This primary suite is truly a private retreat. We were able to create a variety of zones in this suite to allow room for a good night’s sleep, reading by a roaring fire, or catching up on correspondence. The fireplace became the real focal point in this suite. Wrapped in herringbone whitewashed wood planks and accented with a dark stone hearth and wood mantle, we can’t take our eyes off this beauty. With its own private deck and access to the backyard, there is really no reason to ever leave this little sanctuary.

Who wouldn’t want a giant floral mural as the focus wall of their daughter’s bedroom? This mom (and daughter) certainly embraced the feminine here, with this colorful mural behind the bed. We paired the mural with Sherwin Williams color ‘Inspired Lilac’, because lavender is the young occupant’s favorite. On the Jenny Lind bed, we used fresh cut floral bedding. Round white night tables are a perfect place to put down that bedtime reading when young eyes get heavy. The gold reading lamps were an opportunity for a little bling. A window bench is the perfect place for a young reader to cuddle up. The bench material is just a little bit sparkly. It’s made of a polyurethane and has “ink resistant technology”, so it’s a forgiving upholstery selection for a spot where a young girl might be writing.

This transformation started with a builder grade bathroom and was expanded into a sauna wet room. With cedar walls and ceiling and a custom cedar bench, the sauna heats the space for a relaxing dry heat experience. The goal of this space was to create a sauna in the secondary bathroom and be as efficient as possible with the space. This bathroom transformed from a standard secondary bathroom to a ergonomic spa without impacting the functionality of the bedroom. This project was super fun, we were working inside of a guest bedroom, to create a functional, yet expansive bathroom. We started with a standard bathroom layout and by building out into the large guest bedroom that was used as an office, we were able to create enough square footage in the bathroom without detracting from the bedroom aesthetics or function. We worked with the client on her specific requests and put all of the materials into a 3D design to visualize the new space. Houzz Write Up: https://www.houzz.com/magazine/bathroom-of-the-week-stylish-spa-retreat-with-a-real-sauna-stsetivw-vs~168139419 The layout of the bathroom needed to change to incorporate the larger wet room/sauna. By expanding the room slightly it gave us the needed space to relocate the toilet, the vanity and the entrance to the bathroom allowing for the wet room to have the full length of the new space. This bathroom includes a cedar sauna room that is incorporated inside of the shower, the custom cedar bench follows the curvature of the room's new layout and a window was added to allow the natural sunlight to come in from the bedroom. The aromatic properties of the cedar are delightful whether it's being used with the dry sauna heat and also when the shower is steaming the space. In the shower are matching porcelain, marble-look tiles, with architectural texture on the shower walls contrasting with the warm, smooth cedar boards. Also, by increasing the depth of the toilet wall, we were able to create useful towel storage without detracting from the room significantly. This entire project and client was a joy to work with.
