KITCHENS

	Carnation This expansive kitchen is centrally located around the primary rooms and is a focal point for the entire home. It’s large spaces; rich colors, warm lighting and sumptuous finishes lure friends and guests to be a part of it. State of the art appliances, cabinets and fixtures make this a great kitchen to cook in.
Bellevue With the richly colored custom cabinets, granite counters, luminous lighting and lustrous stainless steel appliances, this large kitchen beckons friends and family and becomes the hub of the household activities. To achieve this effect, a wall between the old flat-ceiling kitchen and dining room was removed and the kitchen expanded into the space. A small addition to the living room was made to accommodate a new dining area and bring more of the view into the house.
	Bellevue The before picture shows the dark cabinets, carpeted floors and miss-matched counters. A skylight was added to bring in natural light and show off the beautiful granite island and corian countertops. The large island creates additional space for the family and projects.  New hardwoods were added for a more durable and elegant feel. New cabinets, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures and appliances were used to give this kitchen a bright and bold look as well as a lot of functionality.
Maple Valley The first thing you notice when you walk in is the large skywall at the sink which bathes the kitchen in natural light while allowing the user to enjoy the scenic back yard. The expanded kitchen space with its elegant curved maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, dramatic lighting and warm colors make this kitchen an inviting space in which to cook, entertain and be with family.
	Bridle Trails- Bellevue This kitchen tied in with the rest of the home—large, spacious and elegant with lots of windows and skylights to bring the outdoors in. The state of the art appliances, along with numerous cabinets and working space, make this kitchen a cook’s delight. Its creative use of colors—from the maple cabinets, slab marble counters, stamped concrete floors and rich colored walls—make this a beautiful and inviting space.
Redmond This elegant and exciting kitchen was made possible by removing a wall between a small family room and the old kitchen, adding a large window for natural light, spectacular granite counters, fir cabinets, state of the art appliances and slate floors. The space was transformed from a cramped kitchen to a large space where family and friends love to gather.

BATHS

Hunts Point This bath went from a small dark room to an inviting master bath suite by rearranging the existing closet and utilizing an unused portion of the bedroom. A leaking old skylight (the only source of natural light) was replaced with a new skywall for added light, ventilation and beauty.  The counters were lengthened for more space.  All new fixtures, granite counters and hardwood floors were installed.   A large customized walk-in shower with glass block walls and a corner-jetted tub were used to complete this luxurious bath.   Magnolia- Seattle Added on to an original Magnolia bungalow, this bathroom suite included the use of soft lighting and light colors to create a warm and glamorous bath with lots of space to move around in and enjoy.  The quality of fixtures and finishes along with the layout make this bath a place to where you can truly indulge yourself.   Maple Valley This master bath opens off the master suite with dramatic double glass doors.  The drama doesn’t stop there. The heated marble floor leads up a set of stairs to a large jetted tub overlooking the private back yard. Not shown in this picture are the spacious separate sink areas and the private toilet room. Walk into the custom shower area with dual showerheads and full body massage controls.  The creative use of in-laid marble, wood windows, millwork, lighting and wall colors make this a truly dramatic bath.

SPECIAL

	Carnation This room makes for a great escape to enjoy your favorite videos, games or music. Dark colors, variable lighting and surround sound enhance the media experience while noise deadening acoustics help contain the sound to this room. The entertainment cabinets along with another set of cabinets in the room help organize the electronic components and keep the media accessible.
Bellevue This covered porch adds elegance to the back of this home and is functional for the Pacific Northwest weather. The open beams, shingled and rock columns and lighting make an inviting space for outdoor relaxing or entertaining.  The large skylights on either side of the roof let in lots of natural light.
	Kirkland Architectural and construction services were provided to turn this family room into a dream room.  Before photos show the different colors, styles and textures in the room.  From the kitchen you walk through a new pair of glass pocket doors to the family room. The windows on either side of the fireplace were removed for privacy and detailed bookcases put in their place. An updated fireplace with a marble surround and custom mantle accentuate the entire room. A drywall ceiling, the creative use of lighting, the windows and the painted millwork give the room a bright and cheerful look. The crown molding at the ceiling adds a special touch of elegance.  The furnishings and carpet complete the feel of a warm and comfortable room.
Seattle This tenant improvement was for an architect in Seattle.  The existing space was decorated with white, yellow, blue and burgundy walls.  A space was created to give the architect a functional area while creating an exciting atmosphere.  Subtle natural colors and new track lighting were used for a light and warm look. Custom made sawhorses were used along with birch door slabs to create inexpensive desks that were functional.  A custom built door system on sliding tracks—using simple materials—created a conference room when in use, yet could be slid back to make the office seem larger.  The old stained carpet was removed and the existing concrete floor was ground down and acid stain applied for a durable, beautiful floor.
	Bellevue This media room was specially designed as part of a larger remodel. It included a state of the art sound and projection system with intricately designed acoustics and framing to give rich sound within the room while preventing it from traveling elsewhere in the house.  These systems, along with the dark cherry cabinets, special lighting, comfortable finishes and stepped floor, give a true theater experience to the owners.
