Eclectic mix of antiques, modern and custom pieces

Lake House in East Texas

My client wanted some wall units built in so she could display some art pottery that she collects. Her husband plays many musical instruments. Instead of the "same ole, same ole" why not create art with the build in to house the art displayed? The beautiful guitar was trimmed with abalone and turquoise and was beautiful and I thought it should be seen and admired so I created a guitar shaped niche with bookmatched grain surround and spotlight. The shelves were various sizes and shapes to accomodate a variety of artifacts. A couple of feature shapes were also lit.

Contemporary with warmth and comfort. This condo, located in a delightfully busy San Francisco neighborhood needed a total renovation of the existing space. On the first floor the main living area including a small den, living room, dining area and kitchen needed to be updated. The challenge was to achieve the maximum of comfort, understated elegance and functionality in a small space that would be appropriate for the couple’s everyday life. On the second floor, On the first floor, the style is quiet and sophisticated with clean, simple lines made sumptuous with rich materials. The original kitchen was closed off from the rest of the living space but in the renovation, the kitchen becomes the focal point of the main living area. Opening the kitchen gives the entire condominium a spacious feeling and allows natural light to enter the kitchen. The simple flush lines of the elegant cabinetry create a harmonious rhythm set off by glass, which has been hand etched in a pattern of leaves and branches that mimic the trees visible through the windows. The patterned glass is also used in the pantry door, and allows light from pantry windows to enter the kitchen. Located near the front entry to the condo, the bar counter, a large hardwood plank with a strong grain and deep color adds a striking textural element. On the second floor, changing the master bath was essential. The original layout with the bath tub and toilet on one side of the room and a wall length cabinet with a sink on the opposite wall was adequate but uninteresting. The finishes were uninviting. A portion of an adjacent closet was taken over to enlarge the space. The toilet was moved into the new space allowing the addition of a gracious shower separate from the soaking tub. The wall adjacent to the hallway was also moved out to form a pleasing angle adding space and interest. It also allowed for an angled built-in closet system in the hallway. The sink was moved to the wall opposite the entry door, designed with a floating cabinet. Tall cabinets run perpendicular to the sink cabinet. Photo-David Livingston
