Multi-generational

Family’s are living in multi-residences under one roof – this means that the demands on our households have changed dramatically. Working with a variety of ages, heights, abilities, and needs requires careful planning and considerations.

Simple isn't boring

There’s a new wave of designing with a return to understated elegance. No need for the over the top, elaborately decorative rooms, just spaces that are authentic, historic, and artful. Simple is just as beautiful.

Farm-to-table

It isn’t what we use our kitchen for that’s changed, but rather how we use them. We’re focused on farm freshness and natural products that are safe and healthy. That means that our planning centres are different that out-of-the-box kitchens.

On September 11, 2010 By

NEW YORK, NY – In this age of connection and re-connection, which ironically divides us socially but bridges us professionally, anyone can buy anything online. I once bought computer memory for a no-longer-made laptop that I actually ended up returning. I have friends who have bought Modern Revival furniture by special order, something that [...]

20-20 Custom Millwork? SketchUp to the rescue!

On May 25, 2010 By

Working on a design, late as usual.

So I’m sitting here thinking, how the heck do I make this custom vanity base in 20-20. I drew my square, changed it to a 3D-Shape, and stopped. Wait a second, I thought to myself. I could do this in SketchUp in, like, 10 minutes. The race [...]

Awe, Cabinetry!

On April 28, 2010 By

I feel like I have so much catching up to do, so I’m going to start with the most amazing factory tour of Merit Kitchens I had last week. I can’t not begin to tell you how proud I am to be able to specify this product every single day. [...]

Digital photo backsplash: hit or miss?

On March 4, 2010 By

So I’m reading my feeds this morning and I’m doing my usual scan for my chic picks and eco-chic picks (which are new categories I just added because I love the label) and I came across this:

After I finished throwing up (because this is a disgustingly gross picture, I mean, [...]

NYC is a buzz with Brizo

On February 21, 2010 By

How envious am I of all the designers on the East Coast who headed out to the Brizo show. Their tweets were endless… and only agrivating because I SO wanted to be there. Other than a bunch of kitchen fittings, I’m sure that I don’t have to tell you that the biggest [...]
