Purchased an 1880s Farm House in the country 1.5 hours from Portland, OR. In 2 years, I demo and hired contractors to update plumbing, electrical to code. I renovated 2 bathrooms (heated floor, jacuzzi; stacked efficiency laundry room) and pulled paneling to reveal shiplap. Cleaned and cleaned more. Lots of demo and hauling. Endless mowing, weed and blackberry thicket removal weekly on 1 acre property. Three barns/sheds. PAID OFF!!! Now worth $240K. Bought it for $125. Renovate key rooms high-end and let the buyers finish the bedrooms, halls etc. I bought high-end light fixtures and appliances at every January, close-out off-season sale.

Lots of storage in this kitchen and workspace. Keeping with the craftsman feeling of the house. New natural red birch craftsman storage cabinet connects well to the painted kitchen cabinets.

Set upon an oversized and highly sought-after creekside lot in Brentwood, this ​two story home and full guest home exude a casual, contemporary farmhouse style and vibe. The main residence boasts 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, each ensuite with thoughtful touches that accentuate the home’s overall classic finishes. The master retreat opens to a large balcony overlooking the yard accented by mature bamboo and palms. Other features of the main house include European white oak floors, recessed lighting, built in speaker system, attached 2-car garage and a laundry room with 2 sets of state-of-the-art Samsung washers and dryers. The bedroom suite on the first floor enjoys its own entrance, making it ideal for guests. The open concept kitchen features Calacatta marble countertops, Wolf appliances, wine storage, dual sinks and dishwashers and a walk-in butler’s pantry. The loggia is accessed via La Cantina bi-fold doors that fully open for year-round alfresco dining on the terrace, complete with an outdoor fireplace. The wonderfully imagined yard contains a sparkling pool and spa and a crisp green lawn and lovely deck and patio areas. Step down further to find the detached guest home, which was recognized with a Decade Honor Award by the Los Angeles Chapter of the AIA in 2006, and, in fact, was a frequent haunt of Frank Gehry who inspired its cubist design. The guest house has a bedroom and bathroom, living area, a newly updated kitchen and is surrounded by lush landscaping that maximizes its creekside setting, creating a truly serene oasis.

Bathroom remodel was a complete redesign to bring the original 90-year old San Francisco bathroom into modern day. Reimagining the space involved knocking down walls and employing artisans for handmade shower tiles and locally custom-made cabinetry to perfectly fit tight spaces. Creamy tones, Mahogany wood, and ceramic crackle and subway tiles strike a balance between traditional and contemporary. The end result is a bathroom design that's a breath of fresh air and modern sophistication - See more at: http://kimballstarr.com/projects/bathroom-remodel-st-francis-wood

Removing the bulkhead above the tub, instantly opened up the space. The old bathtub was replaced with a luxurious deep soaker tub and high end chrome fixtures were added for a touch of sparkle. Large 18" x 18" tiles were used on the floor, up the side of the tub and throughout the tub enclosure to the ceiling providing a seamless flow throughout the space and giving the room a larger overall feel. To add interest, a coordinating tile was used on the floor and on the side of the tub. A large faux marble tile was used on the back feature wall to add a touch of opulence and two light sconces replaced the dated light fixture. Finally, a dark walnut cabinet added dimension and warmth to the space. The end result was a beautiful welcoming bathroom that will be enjoyed for years to come.

Next to your favorite chair to hold a lamp and your morning coffee, or with plants and photos in your sunroom, this circular Accent Table in our Orchard White Rub has the look you will enjoy for years to come. The four curved legs flare out and come together in a unique design, ending in four tiered down feet for a vintage style that is perfect in today's homes.

Having lived in their new home for several years, these homeowners were ready to finish their basement and transform it into a multi-purpose space where they could mix and mingle with family and friends. Inspired by clean lines and neutral tones, the style can be described as well-dressed rustic. Despite being a lower level, the space is flooded with natural light, adding to its appeal. Central to the space is this amazing bar. To the left of the bar is the theater area, the other end is home to the game area. Jake Boyd Photo

Bruce Colucci, the designer, utilized the natural light streaming into this kitchen from the beautiful view and ample windows to give this kitchen a light feel. A custom-built countertop gives the hosts a surface for easy food prep and buffet service. The see through cabinets really finished the clean design the client was looking for. This once bland kitchen is now the new first choice for all get togethers with family and friends.

We were hired to turn this standard townhome into an eclectic farmhouse dream. Our clients are worldly traveled, and they wanted the home to be the backdrop for the unique pieces they have collected over the years. We changed every room of this house in some way and the end result is a showcase for eclectic farmhouse style.

Scarborough homeowners are increasingly choosing timber flooring that can handle the realities of coastal living — the salt air, the humidity shifts, the sun streaming through large west-facing windows for most of the year. For this Scarborough renovation, we installed Blackbutt in Lifewood's patented Stabilised Solid® system throughout the open plan living and dining areas. Blackbutt is one of Australia's most trusted native hardwoods — a warm golden timber with a tight, consistent grain that brightens a room without overpowering it. It handles Perth's coastal conditions exceptionally well and develops a beautiful character as it ages. Stabilised Solid® is Lifewood's patented flooring technology, developed specifically for Western Australia's climate. Every board uses the same premium Australian hardwood top and bottom — no composite core, no imported filler timber. A moisture barrier coating protects against humidity. Low-emission glue keeps the home safe. And every board is sandable up to four times, meaning this floor is built to last the lifetime of the home. Lifewood is Perth's only triple ATFA-accredited timber flooring manufacturer. ATFA Retailer of the Year 2025. 8,500+ Perth installations. Lifetime warranty on every floor.
