One of the greatest things about doing what I do is to collaborate with other designers to bring a concept to life. Through really intentional materials selections, architectural design really shines. This design didn’t start as mine, but I inherited it and helped the homeowners realize their dream home transformation. Using some standard and some new materials in innovative ways, we pulled a west coast vibe to an historic home. #marvinwindowsanddoors #modernmill #acresiding #jameshardie

The vanity details we promised. 🤍 Dark, moody cabinetry meets warm brass and somehow it feels anything but heavy. The secret is in the layering. Richly stained custom cabinets with beaded panel detailing, antique brass bail pulls, a wall mount faucet that doubles as sculpture, and a gold-framed mirror that catches the light just right. Every choice was intentional, every finish earned its place. Set against soft white quartz and warm painted walls, this vanity feels grounded and refined. The kind of space that gets better the longer you look at it.

Details matter. Cabinetry is often the backbone of a space. Door style, finish, hardware, and scale all work together to create a sense of quiet cohesion. We spend a lot of time getting these moments right.

Project spotlight. This kitchen was designed to balance warmth with restraint. Clean cabinetry, thoughtful proportions, and materials chosen to age beautifully. The goal was a space that feels welcoming and functional without feeling over-designed.

What a true blessing to have the opportunity to work with a friend on the redesign of her home! @cslancman entrusted me to reimagine her kitchen and WOW - how much do I love this space?? We pushed out and opened up to the back yard, widened the opening to the dining room, changed the layout with new and fresh materials, and let the daylight really shine in! 🍁 ☀️ To top it off, bringing @mariawilliamsinteriors and @covecustominteriors on board made for a truly magical transformation of the space. @nova_soul_imagerycommercial thank you for capturing the beauty of this home, as always!

The back area of my house is completely opened up! The wall with the goofy pass-thru window has been removed, along with a dropped header that was - I guess? - for aesthetics only. So excited for the progress that’s been made this week!
