This mountain modern cabin outside of Asheville serves as a simple retreat for our clients. They are passionate about fly-fishing, so when they found property with a designated trout stream, it was a natural fit. We developed a design that allows them to experience both views and sounds of the creek and a relaxed style for the cabin - a counterpoint to their full-time residence.

This single family home had been recently flipped with builder-grade materials. We touched each and every room of the house to give it a custom designer touch, thoughtfully marrying our soft minimalist design aesthetic with the graphic designer homeowner’s own design sensibilities. One of the most notable transformations in the home was opening up the galley kitchen to create an open concept great room with large skylight to give the illusion of a larger communal space.

The timber post and beam architecture of the open kitchen continues at the bay window of the breakfast area with its barn-board paneled banquette.

Custom floating wood shelves provide sculptural storage and visual interest, while Cesca chairs and a vintage pendant add classic MCM character.

What used to be an awkward dining pass-through with a misplaced bathroom is now one of the most beloved rooms in the house. The dining room is where the magic truly blooms—anchored by a breathtaking York Pop Floral Mural that feels like it was plucked from a fairytale garden. We leaned into the room’s natural light and airy flow, adding Sherwin-Williams Moscow Midnight paneling for a dose of rich, moody contrast. A thoughtfully added picture rail sits just below the crown molding, allowing art to be hung without harming the wallpaper—a detail as beautiful as it is functional. At the center of it all hangs the Galileo chandelier by Worley’s, casting a warm, artistic glow over a table that now comfortably seats eight. This space is designed not just for dinner—but for memories, connection, and long, laughter-filled evenings spilling out to the patio beyond.
