The bold and rustic kitchen is large enough to cook and entertain for many guests. The edges of the soapstone counter tops were left unfinished to add to the home's rustic charm. Interior Design: Megan at M Design and Interiors

This beautiful apartment looks over the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. We painted the floors white, and furnished the place in a light, airy palette, with warm wood pieces and some carefully chosen colored accents. Photo by Maletz Design

Fireplace surround we designed and fabricated in blackened steel with a hand-rubbed satin finish. These are custom-made and can fit new construction or existing fireplaces. Photography by Blackstone Edge.

This cottage designed and built in the vernacular of a Pennsylvania Farmhouse is 100% solar. A 4.2kW solar electric system (concealed on dormer roof), radiant floors heated with solar hot water, passive solar design applications for heating, cooling and daylighting, make this home, tight and quiet. Fresh air intakes, light tubes, partially earth sheltered and with a high performance building shell:(sips panels, double framed walls, closed cell soy and cellulose insulation, airsealing etc.), interspersed with salvaged/antique materials and timber-framing, add to the patina of the 1700's. Open and communicative interiors with good traffic patterns and livability are anchored to the pastoral site this guest cottage stands firmly planted on as a net energy exporter. The sum is a Common Sense simplicity in a high performance reproduction home. P.S. Working with clients that allow us this expression in our work is a wonderful experience. The interior design, including the kitchen, bathrooms and flooring selection, was done by the owner who is a professional Interior Decorator in the Boyertown area. kitchen

Hanging pet portraits and a re-purposed army desk give personality to this work area. Read http://kimballstarr.com/how-to/making-the-unattractive-old-beautiful-new/ to find out about transforming this desk and other pieces.

Her Office will primarily serve as a craft room for her and kids, so we did a cork floor that would be easy to clean and still comfortable to sit on. The fabrics are all indoor/outdoor and commercial grade for durability. We wanted to maintain a girly look so we added really feminine touches with the crystal chandelier, floral accessories to match the wallpaper and pink accents through out the room to really pop against the green.

This soft contemporary home was uniquely designed to evoke a coastal design feeling while maintaining a Hill Country style native to its environment. The final design resulted in a beautifully minimalistic, transparent, and inviting home. The light exterior stucco paired with geometric forms and contemporary details such as galvanized brackets, frameless glass and linear railings achieves the precise coastal contemporary look the clients desired. The open floor plan visually connects multiple rooms to each other, creating a seamless flow from the formal living, kitchen and family rooms and ties the upper floor to the lower. This transparent theme even begins at the front door and extends all the way through to the exterior porches and views beyond via large frameless glazing. The overall design is kept basic in form, allowing the architecture to shine through in the detailing. Built by Olympia Homes Interior Design by Joy Kling Photography by Merrick Ales

A durable, meaningful design heals a devastated residential property bordering Acadia National Park and Somes Sound on Maine’s Mount Desert Island. Comprehensive stormwater management strategies shape new landforms, resulting in elegant grading and thoughtful drainage solutions. Native plant colonies stabilize the site, regenerate habitat, and reveal wildlife patterns. Exquisitely crafted new masonry, built from an authentic palette of local reclaimed materials, gives the garden a unified, established feel. Lichen-encrusted stone retaining walls define edges, thresholds, and overlooks, and thick slabs of salvaged granite embedded in the earth provide gathering terraces and pathways. With balance restored, brilliant seasonal drama unfolds.
