This mid-century modern living room was opened up by creating a direct connection to the dining room along with a see through display cabinet. Skylights were added to bring in more natural light and the fireplace was redesigned to anchor the room. The original vaulted fir ceilings were retained to create balance with the white brick which makes this space feel both modern and warm. Colorful accents like the blue velvet couch make the room pop!
The back wall was not well utilized before the remodel so walnut casework was added to bookend the room and connect it with the walnut accents on the opposite wall. The bookcase has lighting and electrical to provide accent lighting (and power to play those records!). The bottom half of the bookcase is enclosed cabinetry for storage.
Sentimental pieces from the home help to make the family feel joy when they walk into their living room. The items on the bookshelf have their own color palette in each section to help with eye movement throughout the room.
This bathroom features custom built-in walnut cabinetry with modern pendant lights from Rejuvenation and tile from Ann Sacks. The wall-mount faucet and undermount sink look great but also make it easy to keep things clean.
Floor-to-wall tile in this gorgeous blue color gives the bathroom warmth and character while making the room feel larger. The painting on the wall brings all of the colors together to create a cohesive color palette.
For a calming bedroom escape, a sense of stormy weather was brought into the room with this beautiful wallpaper from Manolo Walls. it was paired with light bedding from Parachute and blush accents.
This mid-century bedroom features blush accents and light bedding to keep the room airy and light. A beautiful hand-made yarn design is the focal point of the room. Both the yarn design and table lamps are made by local artists of Portland, Oregon.
This modern dresser and mirror from Room & Board were paired with this reupholsterd vintage chair to give this bedroom so much character!
This mid-century modern dining room is kept simple with a round marble table and leather-upholstered chairs. The floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light to showcase the fun wallpaper accent.
This dining hutch with colorful glassware and decor with green patterned wallpaper is a dining room focal point.
This modern kids' bedroom design was made for a shared boy-girl space. Set in the trees, this room features a teal leather chair, sage metal bunk beds and playful decor!
The kids' playroom features an orange woven swing (found at a farmer's market in Montana), dark velvet drapes and tree wallpaper. Our favorite part? An antique radio from the client's father that still works!
This deck was a huge upgrade with Ipe boards, new railings and built-in seating. Who can resist a dip in the hot tub with this view?
The entry features outdoor concrete stairs with raw steel planter boxes and modern landscaping.
The deck features some of our favorite products, with a modern white table from Room & Board that's easy to clean and chairs from DWR that can weather any storm. The pop of orange on the door frame and reflection of the trees in the windows provide a wonderful ambiance for the outdoor dining experience.
