How to Budget & Make Things Affordable

February 18, 2021

xyzThis project was about summer living with a dad and his 2 sons in a cottage snuggled up next the woods. The original structure built in c.1898 consisted of one main room and a porch built on nothing more than an old tent platform. We had to make it functional and easy to live in. The most significant enhancement was the redo and opening up of the kitchen to the original one room cottage.

#mondaymotivation Blue is never a poor choice. We love to create spaces that incorporate different shades and saturate the room. Add fun wallpaper for interest and texture, as well as the perfect lighting and hardware. In the end it will be a truly #nothingordinary design.

In the spirit of Black Friday, it's appropriate to spotlight that even a small kitchen can look incredible when you hire the right design team.

Perched atop the Plaza in Clayton sits this 290 sq. ft. kitchen with a majestic view. Inspired by the fashion empire of Ralph Lauren, this basic black tailored kitchen is the essence of classic. It’s clean lines and dark colors cohesively meld to surrounding rooms. The simple flat panel door and use of dramatic color create a stage for the countertops to shine. The perfectly appointed brass hardware lend just enough contrast and drama.

Remodeling in a multi level condominium building is not without its constraints. Limitations on locations and distance in which you can move water and electric confine design. Constraints just make you think harder and more efficiently. Slight adjustments and tweaks to the original layout blended together with whispers of an iconic design house, lay rise to nothing ordinary magic. #blackfriday #stlkitchenandbathdesign #holidayseason

Lots of people forget how important the powder roo

Lots of people forget how important the powder room can be, especially during holiday gatherings! This small powder room exudes luxury and modern sophistication, making the most of its compact space. The rich dark blue walls provide a dramatic backdrop, enhancing the sense of intimacy and elegance. We chose a stunning marble and brass free-standing sink to serve as a bold focal point. The warmth of the brass complements the cool tones of the marble and blue walls, creating balance and contrast. The minimalist design allows the luxurious materials to take center stage, making this powder room a perfect blend of style and function in a small but impactful space. #Thanksgiving #powderroom #stlkitchenandbath
