Kent

Restoring the original elegance of this lovely NW Washington home was our mission. Twenty tons of debris later, six bathrooms, a dining room, a mud room and the kitchen have been stripped to the studs and rebuilt.kent-frontweb

Evergreen Cottage

A Vintage cottage filled with sunshine was the perfect choice for this young couple to raise their two children, but it needed to feel more modern. A few lighting fixtures and soft hues of gray fabrics and finishes infused the living areas with a cool modern feel.

Taking cues from the garden, a sunroom style dining area conjures up the image of Al fresco dining every day!

This NW Washington Cape style home provides a beautiful backdrop for our artist/client’s work. The family’s collection of antiques and art provided us with a foundation that requested simple elegance. Light filled windows, linen slipcovers and velvet pillows invite you to relax and unwind.

Baker Park

Mature trees made natural light in this new kitchen workspace a challenge. A glass “greenhouse” roof solved the problem with style. Combining exposed brick walls, reclaimed wood floors and stainless steel cabinets gave this 20th century colonial a 21st century attitude.
