Stools aren't given enough credit as chairs. With a reputation as being uncomfortable in comparison to a couch, they're often an afterthought while designing or filling out a room. But, they deserve more respect. Here are some great things about stools: - Perfect prop for adding an extra shot of color and shape to a room - With a lid, they're an excellent side table and storage piece - Great way to add extra seating when needed - just tuck or stack them when not in use... - Add to a countertop and it's suddenly a seating area There are tons of great stool styles, colors, and options that make them the perfect addition to your home while maintaining your look. Don't underestimate stools!

Do you remember this room from an earlier sneak peek? This kitchen is hard to forget from the beautiful wood floor to the fresh white kitchen cabinetry and top of the line appliances. There are plenty of custom details that make this room truly unique like the backlit cabinets, the extra storage options like in the columns around the stove, the access to instant hot water through the faucet near the stove, and the recessed sinks to ease clean-up and access. Not only a beautiful room, this kitchen is highly efficient and the perfect place for a professional chef or a food aficionado to create masterpieces.

PROJECT UPDATE! This custom home was built from the ground up to match our client's vision. After working with our design team, this bespoke dream kitchen was made into reality. Can you imagine walking into this kitchen every day? Look at the eye-catching matching backsplash and counters with the statement light over the island. No detail was missed in the design and execution of this room, ready for parties or a quiet family breakfast.

Whoever said white rooms are boring was doing it wrong. This all white bathroom is crisp, clean, bright and anything but boring. With definition through texture, inset tile designs and detailed pull knobs, this room was designed with the entire experience in mind instead of individual pieces. Did you notice the large window? The plentiful natural lights transforms this bathroom into a luxurious spa.

The beauty of this custom home is consistent from the front door to the ceiling. The large skylight brings in the outside world's sunshine throughout the entire top floor and down the marvelous staircase. Additional recessed lighting around the skylight amplifies the already bright days and keeps it that way even when clouds are threatening outside. Do you have a dream skylight? Let's make it a reality.

The details always matter. When working on new designs, we know the details reflect the personality and feeling of the space. We appreciate that a masterpiece, a home, or a project that exemplifies our clients’ specifications and desired style takes meticulous time to master. Once upon a time, new rooms were designed by picking out finishes via a magazine or by stacking samples to see how different elements would work together. It was a bit of a guessing game and hoping for the best. Today's technology allows us to build realistic portrayals of these spaces without leaving the comfort and convenience of our desk, allowing for instant modifications and a representative finished project that everyone will be proud of and excited for.

The front door is the first thing your friends, family and the delivery person see when they come to your home. What do you want to portray? The outdoor entrance space is simple to decorate but has a powerful impact on your home's first impression. Here are some tips: 1. Get a Wreath. Easy to hang via an over-the-door attachment or via a small hook, wreaths are easy to change out to match the season or holiday and look good for years.... 2. Find a New Door Mat. From funny phrases to beautiful designs, door mats welcome your guests over the threshold and into your home. Plus, they may serve as a landing spot for your next delivery. 3. Use symmetry. If you add a plant to one side, make sure there is a balancing element on the other. An easy strategy for this is to mirror each side of the door, but there is room for creativity here, too. 4. Enhance your lights. Keeping in style with your home, add in new bulbs or lanterns to light up your home's entrance.

There's nothing like cozying up next to a fire with a good book on an antique chair next to an appealing mantelpiece!

Our client asked for a room to escape from it all and be transported into a 5-star experience. With this desire in mind, we designed and built a 100% custom bathroom with a large soaking tub adjacent to a large window and plenty of natural light. The all-white interior brings relaxation and peace to the occupant while ensuring cleanliness and safety - something we can all appreciate a bit more these days. The inlaid floor design was a special addition that really pulls the entire space together - don't you agree?

Rugs are such a great way to bring a room together while adding some extra comfort under your feet. However, the wrong rug can distract from the space and make you question why you brought it in. Here are some rug do's and don'ts: 1. DO. Put the front legs of your sofa and armchairs on the rug. This way the rug disappears underneath the furniture and the furniture acts as a frame to the area. 2. DON'T. Big rugs can be expensive but small rugs won't be the right fit and you'll... have to replace them later. Go with the big rug from the start and save money later. 3. DO. Keep rugs centralized so that when people are walking through, they have both feet on the rug instead of one on and one off. Be sure to keep rugs with equal space on all sides, too. 4. DON'T. Color and design can be the perfect addition to your room so don't be afraid of a bold rug! Did you know we design and build custom rugs? Contact us to learn more!
