Today's Focus
Check out this spread for a new company office I am working on that will be built soon! This is the second office location I have worked on for them and am so excited to start on it. We are using rich warm colors to create an upscale yet comfortable space for employees and their clients. Not too long before it is time to select lighting fixtures which will really put the finishing touch on this space!

Tuesday
While my husband and a friend work down in the basement I figured I had better get another blog composed and out to the world! I suppose the sound of the compressor and nail gun from two floors below somehow ended up reminding me of work.. hmmm...I wonder why that is!?
This day...this week....this month...this year have been crazy and I have a few big projects wrapping up over the next month or so that I am really excited to share with you but before that I want to show a job I completed not too long ago.
I designed this family's basement and I will be showing it in parts becuase it was a large project but one of my favorite parts was a reading nook for their kids. We had a huge space to work with and wanted to add some extra seating for the entertainment area, extra storage for toys and of course a spot where the kids could hang out and read. At first I think they thought I was a little nuts (that the kids would read more often if they had a reading nook) but I am a big beleiver that if you have a designated space to do something and it is properly designed and of course comfortable - that you will use it more than you think!
Since we started with a blank concrete shell I don't have a before photo but here is one during the construction process - can you say "dusty!?". At this time I was trying to select the perfect fabric and Dan Savageau, the contractor on the job was wrapping up cabinetry. I enjoy being on site for projects - I think that it is amazing to see the process of how a project goes from this....
To this....
We used beautiful alder cabinetry with oil rubbed bronze accessories. The pendant lighting helps to make reading a possibility for the kids and a comfy bench helps too! We used an accent paint color between the cabinetry that coordinates with the fabric to give the space a fun bright feeling. The most rewarding part.....a few months after we completed the project I was told that the kids actually go down to read there!!! So cute!!
More next time!

An Inspired Design...
I am both excited and sad to say that this project is completed and now home to such a wonderful family! It is always a bittersweet ending to a project when working so close with amazing clients...so sweet to complete a fabulous project and have them feel overjoyed and comfortable in their new home but bitter to have withdrawals from seeing, talking and working with them every day! We selected and designed together everything from the door knobs, casing style/size, cabinetry, granite, tile, flooring, lighting, plumbing, custom glass railing..you name it...and the result...FANTASTIC!
The inspiration for this Fargo home was truly my clients. They dreamed of a home with their modern and contemporary style but still with a sense of warmth and comfort.
Ron Morlock, the builder for this home already had a unique plan for the home when my clients decided to build. The home has huge vaulted ceilings, unique curved walls, custom soffits and many other elements that I was excited to work with and incorporate into the design - or tailor the design to - whichever way you want to look at it. The home has a light feeling even though it has dark cabinetry - for example in the corner of the top photo you can see part of the dining room chandelier. It is one of my favorite pieces in the home - it is a 2-tier chandelier hung by cables so it appears as if it is floating - so neat!
We selected espresso cabinetry by our Floor to Ceiling Custom Cabinetry line in a simple door style with a little inside profile to add just the tiniest bit of detail. A simple stock molding crown ends the cabinetry beautifully and we built the pantry door right into the cabinetry design. I think that lighting is one of the most important elements in a design so we incorporated under cabinet lights, lights in the glass island cabinets, lights in the upper stacked cabinetry and throughout the entertainment center as well. The granite tops have numerous shades of brown which tie together the espresso cabinetry, maple flooring, and the shades of brown found in the paint selections.
A stunning backsplash adds just enough sparkle to the space. We used a porcelain 6" x 24" tile and offset it and framed in polished glass with stainless steel below the range.

The living room is a focal point from the kitchen so we wanted to make sure we had a space where my clients could relax but still be able to dress up and have some display space. Inspired by a few ideas my client had come across we designed the fireplace wall seen below. We custom made mirrors to match the cabinetry and floating shelves. The floating shelves all come out a different angles - from the front they look flat but from the side are all a little bit different and unique. The TV will go in the center and we have clear glass on the left for their components and frosted back lit glass on the right for extra storage and a nice accent to coordinate with the frosted glass in the kitchen. Linear carpet makes for a unique twist and adds to the contemporary feel of the space.
Another one of my favorite parts of the home (there are many!).....the wine cellar! Inside we did cork flooring...of course..to compliment the wine corks that will be in the space (hehe). On the outside we covered the space with the same stone from the outside of the home which creates a unique rustic feel. Inside is an outdoor rustic fixture which creates the perfect ambiance.
The master bath was a unique space - and very spacious with such high ceilings! The vanity wall is the focal point. We selected really neat circle sinks and simplistic single handle faucets. I had custom his and hers curved mirrors fabricated which gave the space a fresh look. The walk-in shower is such a neat space. The shower is curved and to let more light in we cut a hole in the wall and inserted a rain glass panel with a brushed nickel channel to create some contrast.
A large format 12" x 24" tile with a linen look created a smooth linear feel and although it is hard to see in the photo the paint selected is a dark grey which contrasts beautifully with the light creamy tile and espresso cabinetry.
The lower level was designed with a cozy rustic feeling but kept elements from the upper level so the two spaces tie together seamlessly. Warm plush carpet was used along with rustic hickory cabinetry. A bar in the lower level is the perfect space for entertaining.
