A cozy family room with wallpaper on the ceiling and walls. An inviting space that is comfortable and inviting with biophilic colors.

PhThis family-friendly gathering space started with the concept of creating a stone wall with built-in bookcases and exploring a grey and green palette. The realization is a layout that functions well for entertaining and for family movie night. Photography by David Carter

The outdoors comes inside for our orchid loving homeowners with their moss green wrapped sunroom. Cut with the right balance of earthy brown and soft buttercup, this sunroom sizzles thanks to the detailed use of stone, slate, slubby weaves, classic furnishings & architectural salvage. The mix in total broadcasts sit-for-a-while casual cool and easy elegance. Pass the poi... David Van Scott

Coin salon du séjour avec un habillage mural moderne grâce à des tasseaux de bois en noyer aux propriétés absorbantes sonores . Une TV suspendue au dessus du meuble pour plus de légèreté et esthétisme. Un buffet moderne en noyer aux formes très rectilignes, contre carrées par un miroir rond biseauté au dessus pour équilibré les formes. Un pouf en tissus greige servant de rangement et pouvant être déplacé rapidement en fonction du nombre de convive et du besoin ; une suspension originale et artisanale en forme de Yourte et en feutrine pour de l'originalité et accentuer cette sensation douce et de cocon , suspendue au dessus des tables gigognes et du tapis blanc crème tout doux imitation laine. Un coin musique avec le piano noir, amorti par un tapis naturel en jute ; une entrée de la pièce géométrique crée par un jeu de peinture cubique en vert pour créer du volume supplémentaire

The portion of the space to the left of the column was added to the back of our clients' home to give them an expanded yet still casual and open dining space. The original breakfast area was converted to a play area for their 2-year-old. A fireplace that was originally on the back of the home was relocated to the current wall of the Family Room, and flanked with built-in cabinets, tile, and a millwork surround for the TV.

This New England farmhouse style+5,000 square foot new custom home is located at The Pinehills in Plymouth MA. The design of Talcott Pines recalls the simple architecture of the American farmhouse. The massing of the home was designed to appear as though it was built over time. The center section – the “Big House” - is flanked on one side by a three-car garage (“The Barn”) and on the other side by the master suite (”The Tower”). The building masses are clad with a series of complementary sidings. The body of the main house is clad in horizontal cedar clapboards. The garage – following in the barn theme - is clad in vertical cedar board-and-batten siding. The master suite “tower” is composed of whitewashed clapboards with mitered corners, for a more contemporary look. Lastly, the lower level of the home is sheathed in a unique pattern of alternating white cedar shingles, reinforcing the horizontal nature of the building.

Updated a dark and dated family room to a bright, airy and fresh modern farmhouse style. The unique angled sofa was reupholstered in a fresh pet and family friendly Krypton fabric and contrasts fabulously with the Pottery Barn swivel chairs done in a deep grey/green velvet. Glass topped accent tables keep the space open and bright and air a bit of formality to the casual farmhouse feel of the greywash wicker coffee table. The original built-ins were a cramped and boxy old style and were redesigned into lower counter- height shaker cabinets topped with a rich walnut and paired with custom walnut floating shelves and mantle. Durable and pet friendly carpet was a must for this cozy hang-out space, it's a patterned low-pile Godfrey Hirst in the Misty Morn color. The fireplace went from an orange hued '80s brick with bright brass to an ultra flat white with black accents.

Many families ponder the idea of adding extra living space for a few years before they are actually ready to remodel. Then, all-of-the sudden, something will happen that makes them realize that they can’t wait any longer. In the case of this remodeling story, it was the snowstorm of 2016 that spurred the homeowners into action. As the family was stuck in the house with nowhere to go, they longed for more space. The parents longed for a getaway spot for themselves that could also double as a hangout area for the kids and their friends. As they considered their options, there was one clear choice…to renovate the detached garage. The detached garage previously functioned as a workshop and storage room and offered plenty of square footage to create a family room, kitchenette, and full bath. It’s location right beside the outdoor kitchen made it an ideal spot for entertaining and provided an easily accessible bathroom during the summertime. Even the canine family members get to enjoy it as they have their own personal entrance, through a bathroom doggie door. Our design team listened carefully to our client’s wishes to create a space that had a modern rustic feel and found selections that fit their aesthetic perfectly. To set the tone, Blackstone Oak luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed throughout. The kitchenette area features Maple Shaker style cabinets in a pecan shell stain, Uba Tuba granite countertops, and an eye-catching amber glass and antique bronze pulley sconce. Rather than use just an ordinary door for the bathroom entry, a gorgeous Knotty Alder barn door creates a stunning focal point of the room. The fantastic selections continue in the full bath. A reclaimed wood double vanity with a gray washed pine finish anchors the room. White, semi-recessed sinks with chrome faucets add some contemporary accents, while the glass and oil-rubbed bronze mini pendant lights are a balance between both rustic and modern. The design called for taking the shower tile to the ceiling and it really paid off. A sliced pebble tile floor in the shower is curbed with Uba Tuba granite, creating a clean line and another accent detail. The new multi-functional space looks like a natural extension of their home, with its matching exterior lights, new windows, doors, and sliders. And with winter approaching and snow on the way, this family is ready to hunker down and ride out the storm in comfort and warmth. When summer arrives, they have a designated bathroom for outdoor entertaining and a wonderful area for guests to hang out. It was a pleasure to create this beautiful remodel for our clients and we hope that they continue to enjoy it for many years to come.

Projet d'agencement d'un appartement des années 70. L'objectif était d'optimiser et sublimer les espaces en créant des meubles menuisés. On commence par le salon avec son meuble TV / bibliothèque.

This modern, industrial basement renovation includes a conversation sitting area and game room, bar, pool table, large movie viewing area, dart board and large, fully equipped exercise room. The design features stained concrete floors, feature walls and bar fronts of reclaimed pallets and reused painted boards, bar tops and counters of reclaimed pine planks and stripped existing steel columns. Decor includes industrial style furniture from Restoration Hardware, track lighting and leather club chairs of different colors. The client added personal touches of favorite album covers displayed on wall shelves, a multicolored Buzz mascott from Georgia Tech and a unique grid of canvases with colors of all colleges attended by family members painted by the family.
