“In the great room, we transformed the layout by removing the wall that separated the kitchen from the living area, creating a single, expansive space that feels open, cohesive, and effortlessly connected. This change allowed us to reimagine the flow and function of the room, making it much more inviting for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen, which had previously been a compact U-shaped corner setup, was relocated along the entire back wall, immediately becoming a striking focal point upon entering the room.”

“To accommodate ample storage along this new configuration, we had to remove two large existing windows. Rather than sacrificing natural light, we introduced a series of cleverly integrated windows within the backsplash, creating an unexpected play of light and framing glimpses of the outdoors—bringing brightness and visual interest into the heart of the home. The result is a seamless, functional great room where architecture, light, and design work together to enhance both flow and experience.”

“Our favorite detail in the great room is the fireplace. The unexpected moment of black is a grounding contrast that anchors the warmth of the wood tones, adding depth, drama, and a quietly modern edge to the space.”

“We preserved the original wood-burning fireplace, honoring its character, while giving it a modern, refreshed look. The entire wall was clad in glossy black glazed brick from Fireclay Tile, creating a sleek, contemporary backdrop. To add depth and architectural interest, we incorporated a custom ledge detail in the same brick, giving the fireplace a sense of dimension and presence that anchors the great room beautifully.”

“We love creating moments of unexpected drama in small spaces, and the powder bath was the perfect opportunity. Collaborating closely with our client, we custom-designed wallpaper inspired by an image of a smoking pipe, turning it into a bold, artistic statement.

We selected a Sherwin-Williams paint color and accents of gold mylar to layer depth, texture, and a subtle metallic shimmer. The space is anchored by a sleek concrete sink from West Elm, complemented by elegant sconces from Visual Comfort and brass plumbing fixtures from Riobel. Every element, from the finishes to the fixtures, was chosen to create a moody, sophisticated powder bath that feels both playful and refined, making this small room a true showstopper.”

“The primary bedroom already had wonderful architectural ‘bones,’ providing a perfect canvas for subtle layering of personality and style. To introduce a touch of whimsy without overwhelming the space, we added the playful wallpaper Drunk Monkeys by Astek to the existing cove ceiling, creating a surprising and delightful visual detail above. At the same time, we were intentional about maintaining a sense of lightness and calm throughout the room, carefully balancing the playful ceiling with soft, serene finishes and a bright, airy palette—resulting in a primary retreat that feels both cheerful and tranquil.”

“The original layout was highly compartmentalized, with the shower and toilet each enclosed in separate rooms. We reimagined the space as a more open, cohesive environment by introducing a frameless glass shower and a mid-century–inspired slatted room divider at the toilet for privacy without visual heaviness. One of our favorite elements is the green Zellige tile from Bedrosians—it brings beautiful depth, variation, and just the right amount of color to energize the space.”

“Because the client works primarily from home, it was important that the office feel both highly functional and genuinely inviting—a space where you’d want to spend a full workday. A large front facing window provided a strong starting point, but the room needed thoughtful refinement. We designed a custom two-wall built-in incorporating file storage, a desk, and open shelving to display his military memorabilia from his time in the Marines. Vaulting the ceiling, extending cedar planks overhead, and introducing a sculptural light fixture helped transform this compact room into a space that feels elevated, personal, and purposeful.”
