A Peek at Pine Fair

I have another new construction project that is finishing up and I was able to stop by right before Christmas to check on it.  Pine Fair is a home for a great, young family and I so enjoyed working on it with them.  It's a wonderful mix of traditional design and some slightly modern touches.  There is still lots of cabinetry work and cleaning to do, but it's really close to being complete.  Here are few sneak peeks...

What started out as an idea on the floor of Home Depot...

...turned into this beautiful master shower.

The boy's bathroom

The kitchen is pretty chaotic right now, but hopefully you get the idea.

Stay tuned for final photos...

A Progress Report at Summer Duck

I couldn't help but write about my Summer Duck job after visiting the house today.  It's a new construction project and I was so happy to see how much was done.  My client is great as she's taken some real design "chances" and they are paying off!  

This site literally took my breath away.  Those lanterns couldn't be better!

The trim carpenter is very good and this mantle is an example of his talent.

This is the blue laundry room.  That light is red and yes, that bucket is going to be her laundry sink!

Then, I turned another corner and this was waiting for me in the master bath!  My client found the light at an antique store and she's afraid it's too big.  I disagree, so we're waiting until the last minute to decide if it's going somewhere else.

  
Here is the tile in the master shower.  No grout yet, but I couldn't help but share.

My final "moment" was getting to see this cabinet in the boy's bathroom.  I have no words... 

My last little surprise is showing you the light (another one my client found) that will be going in the foyer.

 

I promise to keep you updated with pictures of the final product.  It will be fabulous!

Summer is Almost Over

I can't believe school starts in a week!  Where did the summer go?  For personal reasons, I'm glad to see this one go.  For professional reasons, I'm tired of all this heat!  I've got three construction projects going on now and doing site checks is brutal.  I've become an expert at planning them so I don't have to show up at another client meeting looking like a wilted flower.  I've also discovered that deodorant melts in a hot car!  Gross!

Here's are some photos from those three construction projects...

This is the tile I've recently selected for a client's new master bathroom.  It's just for the shower walls as the client is putting wood on the floor!  This will be the first time I've had someone do this and I'm excited to see how it will turn out.

The hexagon tile (in the first photo) is going inside this recessed niche.  It's huge and I can't wait to see it installed.  I have a feeling this will be one of my favorite things. 

This tile combo is a major contender for a kitchen splash.  The client wants a very neutral kitchen with white cabinets.  The marble will be the main field tile and I need to come up with some amazing design, using the accent tile, for behind the cook top. 

My client did a little wood floor shopping and left these samples for me to look at.  It's super helpful when clients can narrow down the choices of what they like, then rely on me to guide them on the final choice.  We're going with the one on the right (the smaller, darker one).  

Finally, an exterior shot of the cutest house I'm working on.  Can't wait for you to see what we have in store for the front door! 

If you need some help with a construction or remodeling project, or just want to get your house freshened up for the holidays, give me a call!
