Custom designed island and formaldehyde free cabinets. The family requested a “Texas Deco Industrial” style home. Part of the USGBC’s LEED Pilot program it was built with Insulated Concrete Forms and multiple solar systems. Unique and whimsical, the interior design reflects the family’s artful and fun loving personality. Completed in 2007 it was certified as the first LEED Gold home in Houston.

Betty Lu is a transitional, craftsman style guest house located on Whidbey Island. This colorful and quaint retreat was inspired by a Villeroy and Boch, French Garden Fleurence Collecton dinner plate. Various materials used: stainless steel appliances and hardware; farmhouse sink; classic school house light fixtures; bamboo flooring; antique French furniture; custom bedding; custom tile designs from Ambiente European Tile and of course the vibrant use of violet used throughout the space to make it pop!

Kitchen with custom-stained, 100% recycled content, Zero VOC MDF cabinets and 70% recycled content countertops and backsplash

Asian inspired room: black and gold were the only colors used. Chrome the only metal. Faux paint on the wall to mimic the linen tile in the bathroom. Bed is one continuous piece

Both of these houses were on the Cool House Tour of 2008. They were newly constructed homes, designed to fit into their spot in the neighborhood and to optimize energy efficiency. They have a bit of a contemporary edge to them while maintaining a certain warmth and "homey-ness". Project Design by Mark Lind Project Management by Jay Gammell Phtography by Greg Hursley in 2008

Never underestimate the beauty of well designed vignette - as seen in this display case. The glass shelves keep the look airy. This project is 5+ years old. Most items shown are custom (eg. millwork, upholstered furniture, drapery). Most goods are no longer available. Benjamin Moore paint.

The Brooklyn playroom was designed as a woodland wonderland full of unexpected secret places to discover. The rooms main feature is a hand constructed life size 100% felt interactive tree with velcro-able lemons that can be “picked”, birds to be pulled from nests, soft low poufs fashioned to look like cut wood, vintage foot stool transformed into a mommy raccoon for extra seating and a vine covered swing hanging from a branch.
