DIY : RECLAIMED WOOD RUSTIC MODERN OUTDOOR COUCH
Custom-designing and building furniture to fit our client spaces is one of our favorite parts of our projects, and this one definitely tops the list! These reclaimed wood chairs, chaise and couch steal the show in our new outdoor living room. Well, that pergola covered with vines is pretty good, too.

Our client LOVES glam. And if you know me, that’s the polar opposite of my personal aesthetic (ah, minimalist, masculine, industrial, apothecary. NOT glam nor feminine.), so it has been a ton of fun diving into her world and coming up with a design she’ll truly love. We’re doing another bath, 4 staircases, and a treehouse (with a custom mural on a 3 curved walls and a pitched ceiling) for her too, so make sure to catch those on the blog.
MODERN CRAFTSMAN KITCHEN : FINAL REVEAL
Marrying old home charm with modern day functionality is one of our specialties. We made the most of the space in this galley kitchen by opening up the wall by the living room so we could create a focal point area for the range, and then wrapping a narrow cabinet down on the opposite window wall. We mixed wood with painted cabinetry and matched the wood to the dining room built-in hutch, so that the kitchen would blend in with the rest of the early 20th century house.

MODERN ECLECTIC KITCHEN : FINAL REVEAL
When a client shows you 2 completely different styles to marry in a kitchen remodel, you know it's going to be a fun design challenge and project. And this kitchen proved just that. She loved ultra modern as well as warm and cozy, so we brought in each and I can't wait for you to see the finished project.
