I love a client that has my taste in décor. Making this client a dream to work with. First things started with the kitchen layout which was horrendous, then gradually we worked our way though to baths rooms. After that the flooring and paint colors gave this coastal wonder the shine it deserves.

This boys bathroom was designed for three young boys to share. It has twin vanity, a urinal, a private commode and bathtub.

**Project Overview** This new custom home is filled with personality and individual touches that make it true to the owners' vision. When creating the guest bath, they wanted to do something truly unique and a little bit whimsical. The result is a custom-designed furniture piece vanity in a custom royal blue finish, as well as matching mirror frames. **What Makes This Project Unique?** The clients had an image in their minds and were determined to find a place for it in their new custom home. Their love of bold blue and this unique style led to the creation of this one-of-a-kind piece. The room is bathed in natural light, and the use of light colors in the tile to complement the brilliant blue, help ensure that the space remains light, airy and welcoming. **Design Challenges** Because this furniture piece doesn't start with a standard vanity, our biggest challenge was simply determining what pieces we could draw upon from a semi-custom custom cabinet line.

This late 90’s home was ready for a refresh, and boy did we have fun delivering just that! Fully renovating the kitchen, family room, dining room, laundry room, entry, and study as well as converting an unused formal room to a wine lounge allowed us to update the first floor of this home in a meaningful way. Lightening and brightening the walls and completely redoing all furnishings and decor, were just the beginning. The kitchen’s complete redesign involved moving obtrusive walls, creating more functional spaces, and incorporating current design trends. Fresh greens and blues were chosen to brighten the spaces, and texture was integrated to keep an organic feel. The clients are so pleased, we’re now embarking on Phase 2!

This remodel kept almost the same footprint but exchanging the small tub for a larger shower stall and much more modern fixtures and features.

For a house on a small inner west block, this beautiful custom-designed home really packs in the features. With a gorgeous French Provincial façade, you get your first surprise as you open the door and walk into a bespoke library, stretching over two levels. The deep blue of the custom joinery is beautifully counterbalanced by a flood of natural light and an elegant chandelier. Look up! The coffered ceiling is truly magnificent. Your eyes are also drawn immediately to the second level, where another bookcase showcases this family’s love of literature. The attention to detail is also evident in the dark hardwood floors and the crisp white wainscotting, lining the hallway to the rear family area. Also downstairs, the owners have a versatile office / media room / bedroom and a full bathroom. Like many of our designs, the indoor / outdoor flow is evident from the family friendly lounge, dining and kitchen area. With an impressive marble kitchen and expansive island bench, modern appliances are hidden behind more beautiful custom cabinetry. At the other end of this large living space, there’s a natural gas fire and stunning mantelpiece. Again, all joinery was custom designed and custom built to the owners’ exact requirements. There’s plenty of storage with a butler’s pantry off the kitchen. A mudroom and laundry are conveniently tucked away between the kitchen and double garage. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a luxurious master ensuite.
