Millwork is so much of what we design—and this space is a perfect example of how custom design can reflect who our clients actually are.
It looks simple- but it's not your average design and implementation - and this is how we bring the magic 🪄✨
He works around the clock in the oil industry. She’s high fashion. He’s a cowboy. Together, they have this incredible mix of polish, personality, and just enough swagger—and we wanted this room to capture all of it.

At its core, this is his second office. His desk needed to be beautiful enough to live inside a whiskey lounge, but completely functional so that at any moment, he can sit down, open his computer, and handle… well, oil things.

On the right, we leaned into his more playful side with a custom bar—because when work is done, this room shifts beautifully into a place for whiskey, conversation, and hosting.

And because the room itself is more intimate, we used mirrored details within the millwork to reflect the window behind him, bounce light through the space, and give the cabinetry a little more depth and dimension.

It’s tailored. A little Western (you’ll see that in more photos!)

A little fashion house

A little gentleman’s club.

And very specifically theirs.

More to be revealed from this space soon.

Stone & Grain | Wildgrass

A cool Scandinavian sensibility—with just enough traditional influence to give it soul.

This kitchen is really a study in wood, stone, shape and restraint. We used warm wood cabinetry almost architecturally, taking it all the way to the ceiling and integrating the appliances so they disappear into the composition rather than interrupt it.

Then we started playing with the details.

The oversized concrete pendants bring in an unexpected, almost sculptural material against all that beautiful grain. A cherry inlay wraps the edge of the stone island countertop, adding warmth and emphasizing its long horizontal line. Brass hardware feels classic without becoming precious, while the cane-backed counter stools introduce another natural texture.

And one of my favorite moments is tucked off to the side: the rounded serving cabinet. We softened the cabinetry into a curve and topped the entire piece in cherry, creating a dedicated landing place for cocktails, wine and serving when this family entertains. It’s functional, but it also becomes its own little piece of furniture.

Even the hood gets its own personality—dark, architectural and slightly traditional against an otherwise quiet palette.

That’s what I love about this kitchen. It doesn’t belong to one aesthetic.

It’s Scandinavian, traditional, organic and a little unexpected—all held together by the grain.

This is what I think of as my signature fireplace.

It looks simple and seamless—but it’s a surprisingly technical installation, and one that’s often underestimated. When it’s done correctly, though, all of that complexity disappears and you’re left with one clean architectural plane and a beautiful ribbon of fire.

For our Stone & Grain Project, we carried the cherry millwork into this room and repeated the curved end detail from the kitchen, creating a subtle connection between the spaces.

And this wall isn’t even the main focal point. Just beside it is nearly 16 feet of glass opening to beautiful landscaping, so the fireplace needed to complement the view, not compete with it.

And yes, there’s a big black television on a white wall. Some designers may be horrified—and maybe it won’t make Elle Decor.

But this is how people live.

Good design isn’t about pretending televisions, kids, movie nights and real life don’t exist. It’s about integrating them beautifully.

Stone + Grain | Wildgrass

Mixed woods. Mixed metals. And just enough classic black to anchor it all.

This kitchen was designed around the way our clients actually live.

Our client hand washes dishes daily, but because the island is the star of the room, she didn’t want a drying rack sitting out in plain view. So we designed two custom vented cabinets into the island—one with a pull-out drying rack, and another for produce like potatoes, onions and garlic that doesn’t need refrigeration.

A deep single-basin workstation sink sits beneath a polished nickel Delta Trinsic Touch2O faucet, while vintage-inspired brass cabinet hardware adds warmth against the black island and surrounding walls of natural wood cabinetry.

And behind those beautiful cabinet fronts? A complete suite of Monogram appliances. Our clients went all the way with the full Monogram package, allowing us to integrate professional-grade performance without disrupting the warmth of the kitchen.

For us, custom kitchen design is about more than what a room looks like. It’s about understanding routines, storage habits and the way someone actually uses their home—and designing around that.

We’re revealing this one slowly…

Because some kitchens deserve more than one look.

For our Wildgrass project in Broomfield, we mixed white oak and cherry cabinetry against a Scandinavian-inspired backdrop, then softened all those clean lines with details that feel a little more traditional, a little more unexpected, and completely personal.

This glimpse is all about the island.

Instead of a standard flat end panel, we designed a curved, furniture-style termination in cherry, complete with wood inlay and picture-frame detailing that follows the radius of the surface.

That curve seems simple.

It isn’t.

Carrying traditional millwork detailing across a curved plane requires precision, craftsmanship, and a willingness to do something beyond the expected.

And that was really the point of this kitchen.

Clean, but not cold.
Traditional, but not predictable.
Scandinavian, but with a little attitude.

Something unique. Something YOU.

More from this Broomfield kitchen soon.

CHROME & GRAIN | The Art of the Details
📸 : Dane Cronin styling: Nat Warady
A staircase doesn’t have to be something you simply pass through—it can become part of the architecture of the home.

For our Chrome & Grain Project, we designed this custom wood stairwell to feel as though it had always belonged here. The warm natural wood flows seamlessly into the new architectural columns, creating a continuous material story from floor to floor.

Custom black iron balusters bring in a tailored, graphic contrast, while the new stair runner adds warmth, softness and just enough pattern to balance the clean lines of the millwork. Even the smallest transitions were considered—from the wood caps and handrails to the way the columns visually anchor each level.

The result is a stairwell that feels substantial without feeling heavy: warm wood, blackened metal, soft textiles and beautiful natural light.

This is what we love about whole-home design. The architecture, finishes and furnishings aren’t separate decisions—they’re all part of the same story.

More revealed from our latest photoshoot—and I wish I could say it was all roses.

Being back in this space was emotional for me. I could still see the vision we created, but I could also see the places where the ex*****on fell short.

The clients chose to work with their own general contractor. From the beginning, I had concerns about whether the team had the experience required to execute several of the more detailed elements that were central to the design. Those concerns were informed by a previous collaboration, and I communicated them clearly to the project lead.

Unfortunately, the issues I anticipated were not fully addressed, and many of the same problems resurfaced during construction.

That experience reinforced something I already knew: a design is only as successful as its implementation. Beautiful drawings, thoughtful selections, and custom details still require consistent oversight in the field to ensure they are executed as intended.

This is why Phase II: Design Implementation is no longer optional for full-service renovation projects designed by our firm. We need to remain involved throughout construction to review details, identify concerns early, communicate with the trades, and help protect the client’s investment before small issues become permanent ones.

When a contractor says it can’t be done, that is often where the real design work begins…. And my heels dig all the way in. 🤌

We spent months developing this custom pantry for our client—a dramatic 7-foot-wide, 11-foot-tall installation designed to maximize storage, access, and everyday function.

Four oversized sliding doors provide generous access to the interior without requiring the clearance of traditional swinging doors. Behind them, a working stone countertop and integrated plug molding create a concealed appliance zone, allowing the microwave and other small appliances to remain accessible without cluttering the kitchen.

On the reverse side, we also incorporated a dedicated charger and mount for an upright vacuum—another functional detail thoughtfully hidden within the millwork.

In this case, the contractor initially refused to fabricate doors at this scale. Contractors often say something cannot be done when it falls outside their standard construction methods—but custom design is rarely about doing what is standard.

Where there is a will, thoughtful engineering, and the right craftspeople, there is usually a way.

The result is a pantry that feels architectural, beautifully integrated, and tailored specifically to how our clients live.

Stone selection day. One of my favorite parts of every kitchen project.

As we continue designing this Broomfield kitchen remodel, we’re narrowing down one of the biggest design decisions in the entire space: the countertops.

Quartz has earned its place in today’s homes. It’s durable, consistent, and an excellent choice for many families.

But when the budget allows… I’m almost always drawn to natural stone.

There is something impossible to replicate about a slab that was formed by the earth over millions of years. Every vein, every movement, every shift in color tells a story. No two kitchens will ever be exactly alike.

Sometimes the island is the showpiece.

Sometimes the stone becomes the showpiece.

The best kitchens don’t rely on one “wow” moment—they create harmony between the cabinetry, lighting, architecture, and the stone itself. When those elements work together, the result feels timeless rather than trendy.

Natural stone isn’t always the right answer for every project. It requires understanding how the material will live with the homeowner and how they’ll use the space. But when it’s the right fit, it’s hard to beat.

In my opinion, if it’s within the budget, natural stone wins every time.

Photo dump from one of our favorite projects. 📸

This Broomfield kitchen remodel was so much more than new cabinets and beautiful finishes—it was a major structural renovation that completely transformed how this home lives.

It’s been a while since we were last here, so coming back for the professional photo shoot was a reminder of why we love what we do. Seeing every detail up close, watching the natural light move through the spaces, and experiencing the home as our clients do every day is incredibly rewarding.

The best projects aren’t just beautiful—they solve problems, improve function, and create a home that feels tailored to the people who live there.

We’re excited to finally share more behind-the-scenes moments from this transformation.

If you’re planning a Broomfield kitchen remodel, a whole-home renovation, or a structural redesign, we’d love to help you create a home that is as functional as it is timeless.
