A dramatic new layout and tile design renderings show the difference every detail can make, the proof is in the before pictures! This quickly became one of my favorite projects due to the challenging space restrictions. Adding a central double-sided fireplace focal point, instantly updated and refreshed this gorgeous waterfront residence on Cohen Drive. Originally dark,cramped and dated, adding a central light reflecting fireplace creates zones and anchors the room, while magnifying the vertical height of the main living room, visually increasing the small footprint and creates a grand environment. Fire lit conversations from both dining and living room increase the entertaining qualities, and allows for extra seating. New furnishing to modernize, a new tile wrapped island to pull the fireplace modernization into the kitchen brining design cohesion, new lighting schedule, windows, doors and hardware, all the work that went into this residence was worth it!

It’s been a hot minute since I have kept up on my design work, I have been so lucky to be inundated with commissioned artwork(!!!) Here’s a preview of what a designer really does! Before, a few clients requirements scribbled on a paper, and many many hours later, proposed designs of a new “boat garage”. I turned this square into a hip (get it?😂🤪) place to hang out with family on our grey Juneau days, incorporated tons of storage, climbing wall, personal custom gym, library, a mother in law suite (to help offset construction prices and get the most bang for our buck), there’s a workshop, second story decks overlooking the kids playground, and additional car parking. Phew! This design conundrum was a doozy, but what DOESN’T this new construction offer!? The exterior was sculptured to blend with the aesthetic of the neighborhood and existing home, with the addition of a touch of cedar to nod to a more rustic approach inside. There’s a tongue and groove ceiling for warming up our overcast days, a traditional stone fireplace, log built in window benches, custom metal railings. This became an Alaskan reprieve.

Trying to prepare for a design saavy upcoming Homeschool year with a cozy reading spot and ton of *hidden* storage. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 to hiding the inevitable mess 🤦🏼‍♀️ Hubs once again brought my vision to life by making me custom legs and this wall mounted modern cabinet to compliment the new Mid Century Bent Wood Coffee Table I scored 😍😍😍😍.
