Our main objective was to remove the wall in between the Dining Room and the Kitchen to create an open concept. Since this was not a bearing wall, no replacement support beams were required. One of our favorite details were the handmade, imperfectly shaped, subway tiles utilized as a backsplash behind the cooktop and around the window. Another was the strategically placed open shelving that kept the modest sized room open and airy. Vintage elements such as the cabinet hardware, plumbing fixtures, and island light with Edison bulbs, completed our Contemporary Cottage style.

We always marvel at how our digital floor plans look so close to the finished solution. And we love to review the before and after photos! What do you think? View All After Photos

The common element throughout is good design. There’s always a reason why an element is chosen for a certain place, whether it’s a colorful painting in a room or a specific fabric on a chair. There’s also a functionality to every item that is unique to each project’s solution. It’s sort of like an oversized jigsaw puzzle with a place and reason for each piece.

“Your rooms are like a painting. Each component is a brushstroke to create the whole picture. It’s magic every time!”
