Custom copper diamond shingles top an ornate Chinese tea house on a roof-top oasis in Boston, MA.

Combinations of cool cottons, wood, glass, mirrors and metal make this a serene and relaxing zone. Above all, the central pendant is the principal mood setter by the way it throws bars of light and shadow across the ceiling. ​ A large headboard was made by linking three fretwork covered mirrors onto a frame, and green cushions on the bed emulate their pattern similar to a negative photograph. The balance of the matching lamps with gold cord enveloped shades, the dark wood bed-side cabinets and the paired cushions creates a restful zone.​ The three mirrored headboard is echoed by three etched silver mirrors above the ottoman at the end of the bed. Dark wood sits well against the calm yet rich metallic green painted wall, which reflects light back into the room. Gustav Klimt inspired fabric was used to make the bespoke green, silver and white curtains, with “bumf” lining added for extra weight, thickness and blackout. A grey Barcelona chair is accented by a small velvet cushion to blend in with the overall scheme. Finally, a bespoke valance was made to add a crisp and sharp finish to the bed. It is interesting to note the subtle change in feel of this room depending on which way the bed is dressed.

This house involved a complete make over from a rustic, traditional home to this contemporary, Asian inspired interior that you see here. We completely removed the old traditional fireplace mantel and marble surround, and replaced it with rough hewn quartzite. The built-ins were originally country looking cabinets, and were replaced with our custom designed European style cabinets and shelves. There is an Chinese latice patterned wallpaper in the niches behind the shelves. Each shelf has a light in it, so that the wallpaper shimmers! Most of the furniture was from Room and Board, and they were mixed with select mid century modern accent pieces. A traditional hand knotted, Indian rug sets the stage for all of the modern pieces and creates an eclectic feel.

After 20 years in their home, this Redding, CT couple was anxious to exchange their tired, 80s-styled master bath for an elegant retreat boasting a myriad of modern conveniences. Because they were less than fond of the existing space-one that featured a white color palette complemented by a red tile border surrounding the tub and shower-the couple desired radical transformation. Inspired by a recent stay at a luxury hotel & armed with photos of the spa-like bathroom they enjoyed there, they called upon the design expertise & experience of Barry Miller of Simply Baths, Inc. Miller immediately set about imbuing the room with transitional styling, topping the floor, tub deck and shower with a mosaic Honey Onyx border. Honey Onyx vessel sinks and Ubatuba granite complete the embellished decor, while a skylight floods the space with natural light and a warm aesthetic. A large Whirlpool tub invites the couple to relax and unwind, and the inset LCD TV serves up a dose of entertainment. When time doesn't allow for an indulgent soak, a two-person shower with eight body jets is equally luxurious. The bathroom also features ample storage, complete with three closets, three medicine cabinets, and various display niches. Now these homeowners are delighted when they set foot into their newly transformed five-star master bathroom retreat.
