Master BathroomThe Problem: Master
Bathroom 8’-5” x 8’-5”
footprint, could not expand. Needed a more modern look. Bathroom was small, crowded, dark and outdated.
The Solution: open a wall
and install glass blocks for natural light. Suspend cabinetry for open look. Natural materials in grid pattern. Contrast of warm and cool tones. Maintain
turn-of-century look with use of brushed nickel fixtures. Kohler purist model keeps it modern.

Humphries-Dwyer TV Room UpdateColorful Geometric Contemporary
The Problem: Bare room ready for organization
into recreational room. With budget in
mind, organize room for wall-mounted tv
watching, and space for light office work (desk).
Client would like “more colorful”. Needs window
treatments and additional lighting. Many items will
remain: wall color, rug, no structural changes. House
style is modern contemporary.
The Solution: Analogous
gold, teal blue, green colors. Modern furniture. Repeat bamboo floor with 2” faux wood blinds. Colors tied together with rug and
fabrics (custom pillows and cornices).
New Light
Design Statement:
As the sun rises above the horizon, its light
radiates bringing energy, warmth, and illumination. These qualities will brighten the mood, and conveys the optimistic possibilities of a new day.
