One of the things we think about constantly when designing a custom home is how a family will actually live in it every single day.

For this family of five, the drop zone needed to work hard. We incorporated generous shoe storage, a concealed coat closet, drawers for charging devices and corralling everyday clutter, and a dedicated hang zone that makes coming and going effortless. Everything has a place, essential for a busy household.

But functionality never has to come at the expense of beauty.

The white oak paired with the soft sea glass green cabinetry creates a welcoming moment the second you walk through the door. Those same materials carry seamlessly into the laundry room beyond, creating a cohesive story throughout the home while making even the most hardworking spaces feel intentional.

Because the rooms that support everyday life deserve just as much attention as the ones where we entertain.

One of the things we hear most often from our clients is that they want a space to retreat to at the end of the day. A place that feels calm, comfortable, and entirely their own.

For this full custom home, we created a primary suite rooted in peace and quiet luxury. The reclaimed wood beams draw your eye upward, adding architectural character to the tray ceiling, while the broadloom carpet underfoot softens every step and creates a sense of warmth that hard surfaces simply can’t replicate.

Every detail was thoughtfully considered around how our clients live. The fully custom bed was designed to accommodate a motorized zero-gravity mattress, ensuring comfort isn’t just beautiful—it’s functional. Layers of custom bedding and luxurious sheeting create the kind of sleep experience that makes it difficult to leave in the morning.

The sisal wallcovering provides subtle texture and a serene backdrop, while blackout linen drapery with a delicate pinstripe softens the room and helps create the ideal environment for restorative sleep.

Beautiful design isn’t just about what a space looks like. It’s about how it makes you feel. And this room was designed to feel like an exhale at the end of every day.

One of the biggest advantages of being involved during the architectural phase is the ability to think through how a home will live long before construction begins.

For our Kings Mountain clients, the kitchen was the heart of the home. They wanted a space that felt warm and inviting, worked beautifully for entertaining, and allowed them to cook together without feeling crowded.

That meant making some significant changes to the plans as we worked through them. We created a larger kitchen footprint, expanded the island, relocated doorways, and added architectural arches that now help tell the story throughout the home.

One of the most impactful changes was shifting the entry to the pantry area and dividing g*t space into a wet bar and separate pantry. By shifting that entry, we were able to create a much larger island while still maintaining generous traffic flow in the kitchen. The cantilevered countertop provides additional seating for family and friends, and the backless stools tuck neatly underneath when not in use, keeping the room feeling open and effortless.

Beautiful kitchens aren’t just about cabinetry and finishes. They’re about thoughtful planning, understanding how our clients live, and creating spaces that work as beautifully as they look.

Blog Drop!! A Designer’s Guide to Selecting High-Quality Rugs for Your Home

Choosing the right rug can transform a room from ordinary to extraordinary. As a designer, I’ve seen firsthand how the perfect rug anchors a space, adds warmth, and reflects personal style. We’ve chosen rugs that were inspiration pieces for the whole design or used rugs to create defined spaces within larger, open rooms.

This guide shares our process for selecting rugs that elevate our clients’ homes in a way that’s personal, functional, and designed to endure.

This isn’t just a renovation. It’s a renewal.

When our client came to us, she wasn’t simply looking to update a builder-grade house. She was ready to create a home that felt like her—one that reflected her personality, embraced her love of color, and supported the life she’s building with her family.

So we said goodbye to safe and expected and leaned fully into rich, layered color, pattern, and personality. We’re color drenching walls, ceilings, millwork, and architectural details to create spaces that feel immersive, welcoming, and completely unique to the people who live here.

But beneath all of that color is a timeless foundation. Beautiful millwork, thoughtful space planning, classic materials, and details that will stand the test of time.

Because the goal is never just a beautiful house. It’s creating a soft place to land at the end of every day. A home that energizes, comforts, and tells your story.

And yes… we are absolutely obsessed with the color drenching.

When your client says they want a little glamour woven into their French country renovation, this is exactly the kind of detail that makes a house feel uniquely theirs.

For this powder bath, we partnered with our decorative painter Tania to hand-apply silver leaf to the walls, then layered it with a soft umber wax to create depth, warmth, and an old-world patina. The result is reflective without feeling flashy, elegant without feeling formal, and perfectly at home alongside the custom stone vanity.

It’s these custom details that transform a room from beautiful to unforgettable.

Today we begin moving our clients into the home we’ve spent months dreaming, planning, and creating together, and we couldn’t be more excited for them to start making memories here.

Bathrooms are one of the hardest-working spaces in a home, but they’re also one of the easiest places to create a feeling of luxury.

You don’t always need a full remodel to make a dramatic impact. Sometimes the smallest details are what transform a bathroom from purely functional to beautifully intentional.

✨ Upgrade your lighting. Soft, layered lighting instantly creates a more relaxing, spa-like atmosphere.

✨ Replace builder-grade mirrors. A thoughtfully selected mirror adds personality, architectural interest, and can completely change the look of a vanity wall.

✨ Style with purpose. Fresh greenery, beautiful towels, a tray with candles or soaps, and curated accessories make a space feel finished and inviting.

The goal is simple: create a bathroom that feels as good as it looks.

Which of these updates would make the biggest difference in your home?

One of the things we talk about often with our clients is that the most beautiful homes are the ones that reflect the people who live in them.

As part of this renovation, we’ve taken this home from a dark, dated traditional space and transformed it into something brighter, lighter, and more elevated while preserving the details our clients loved most—like the hand-painted mural that has been part of their home for years.

As we leaned into a French country influence throughout the design, we knew the floating staircase needed to be more than just functional. It needed to make a statement.

Working with our talented decorative painter, Tania, we created a custom metallic finish on both the stair risers and the staircase undercarriage. The layered finish brings depth, movement, and a subtle shimmer that changes throughout the day as the light moves through the foyer.

But the best part? It solved a problem for our client. She has never loved painted white risers because they show every scuff, footprint, and bit of everyday life. This finish gives her the drama she wanted, the practicality she needed, and a staircase that feels completely unique to her home.

Because at the end of the day, great design isn’t about following trends. It’s about creating spaces that make our clients happy every time they walk through the door.
