Master Bathroom
The Problem: Master            Natural Contemporary
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outdated.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
      In the shower                                   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 Update
         Colorful Geometric Contemporary
               The Problem: Bare room ready for organization
                into recreational room. With budget in
                mind, organize room for wall-mounted tv
Before          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:

           radiates bringing energy, warmth, and
           illumination. These qualities will brighten the
           mood, and conveys the optimistic
           possibilities of a new day.
