This dark and moody modern bathroom screams luxury. The gold accents and rustic western inspired wallpaper give it so much character. The black and white checkered tile floor gives it the final touch it needs to go from good to exceptional.

Over the years, their taste had drifted into a more contemporary realm, and they wanted our help to bridge the gap between traditional and modern. We decided the layout of the kitchen worked well in the space and the cabinets were in good shape, so we opted to do a refresh with the kitchen. The original kitchen had blond maple cabinets and granite countertops. This was also a great opportunity to make some updates to the functionality that they were hoping to accomplish. After re-finishing all the first floor wood floors with a gray stain, which helped to remove some of the red tones from the red oak, we painted the cabinetry Benjamin Moore “Repose Gray” a very soft light gray. The new countertops are hardworking quartz, and the waterfall countertop to the left of the sink gives a bit of the contemporary flavor. We reworked the refrigerator wall to create more pantry storage and eliminated the double oven in favor of a single oven and a steam oven. The existing cooktop was replaced with a new range paired with a Venetian plaster hood above. The glossy finish from the hood is echoed in the pendant lights. A touch of gold in the lighting and hardware adds some contrast to the gray and white. A theme we repeated down to the smallest detail illustrated by the Jason Wu faucet by Brizo with its similar touches of white and gold (the arrival of which we eagerly awaited for months due to ripples in the supply chain – but worth it!). The original breakfast room was pleasant enough with its windows looking into the backyard. Now with its colorful window treatments, new blue chairs and sculptural light fixture, this space flows seamlessly into the kitchen and gives more of a punch to the space. The original butler’s pantry was functional but was also starting to show its age. The new space was inspired by a wallpaper selection that our client had set aside as a possibility for a future project. It worked perfectly with our pallet and gave a fun eclectic vibe to this functional space. We eliminated some upper cabinets in favor of open shelving and painted the cabinetry in a high gloss finish, added a beautiful quartzite countertop and some statement lighting. The new room is anything but cookie cutter. Next the mudroom. You can see a peek of the mudroom across the way from the butler’s pantry which got a facelift with new paint, tile floor, lighting and hardware. Simple updates but a dramatic change! The first floor powder room got the glam treatment with its own update of wainscoting, wallpaper, console sink, fixtures and artwork. A great little introduction to what’s to come in the rest of the home. The whole first floor now flows together in a cohesive pallet of green and blue, reflects the homeowner’s desire for a more modern aesthetic, and feels like a thoughtful and intentional evolution. Our clients were wonderful to work with! Their style meshed perfectly with our brand aesthetic which created the opportunity for wonderful things to happen. We know they will enjoy their remodel for many years to come! Photography by Margaret Rajic Photography

A complete remodel of this beautiful home, featuring stunning navy blue cabinets and elegant gold fixtures that perfectly complement the brightness of the marble countertops. The ceramic tile walls add a unique texture to the design, while the porcelain hexagon flooring adds an element of sophistication that perfectly completes the whole look.

This beachy powder bath helps bring the surrounding environment of Guemes Island indoors.

We love to go bold with our powder room designs, so we selected a black textured tile on the vanity wall and a modern, geometric wallpaper to add some additional interest to the walls.

Modern dark powder bath with beautiful wallpaper.

The Vivian Ferne, Speakeasy wallpaper was beautifully installed as in this modern restroom staging. Black and gold vanity / fixtures allow for the wallpaper to remain the focal point of the room while also providing elegance, sophistication and class. Marble floors created a soft, elegant surface that blissfully reflects the gold leafing that was applied to this luxury abstract wallpaper design.

An ombre-effect drips down the Artistic Tile wall mosaic, adding movement and character into this powder room. A custom vanity featuring a mother of pearl mosaic panel sits beautifully on acrylic legs, providing a floating effect while the fixtures add an elegant "twist." A grasscloth wallpaper maintains a soothing look with it's organic texture ina light blue hue.

What was once a basic powder room is now fresh, sophisticated and ready for your guests. A powder room can become a stunning focal point by installing a mosaic stone floor and grasscloth wallpaper in vinyl. By replacing dated fixtures with something more high-end in a brushed warm metal finish, unexpected painted dark blue trim adds drama, visual interest, contrast and brings a decorative touch to your powder room.

This home office + home bar + powder bath space was an add-on renovation including a custom wood slatted pivot door, vaulted ceilings with a skylight, custom cabinetry and open shelving, a bar sink and mini fridge, wallpaper, decorative light fixtures, window treatments, plants and styling accessories.
