The homeowners of this house wanted to maintain the open feeling of their space, but add a little more distinction between the different zones of the first floor. By adding a structural half wall with custom shelving, we combined design and function. A stone fireplace flanked by arched windows is the main focal point of the room, while a comfortable gray sectional - piled high with pillows and throws - offers plenty of seating to gather around the TV custom fit into the shelving of the half wall. A bar opposite the fireplace is perfect for entertaining. Photo by Chris Amaral.

The family room is adjacent to the kitchen and has lots of comfy places to sit and relax. A custom sofa, two blue velvet arm chairs and a rattan chair surround a large leather ottoman. The large built in holds books, accessories and greenery. A family friendly rug and custom pillows in blues and greens tie it all together.

Aspettative. Segreto. Magia. Il vetro è un materiale che riesce a creare tanti effetti. Riesce a separare senza porre limiti e senza creare barriere. Mantiene volume. Adoriamo lavorare con il vetro. Anzi. Adoriamo lavorare con una coppia inseparabile per noi: vetro & tenda. Questa coppia messa in posizione giusta riesce a creare effetto scenografico talvolta inaspettatamente profondo. Come in questo caso. Dove un’altro tema importante è stato pure quello della linea. Che penetra una materia fitta e omogenea o crea lei stessa una nuova superficie.

Coastal charm exudes from this space. The exposed beams, shiplap ceiling and flooring blend together in warmth. The Wellborn cabinets and beautiful quartz countertop are light and bright. This is a space for family and friends to gather.

The den was already cozy and inviting. But we spruced it up by installing red oak floor, adding wainscoting and painting the fireplace surround and mantle white to help the fireplace pop. We tore down the walls between four rooms to create this great room in Villanova, PA. And what a difference it makes! This bright space is perfect for everyday living and entertaining family and friends as the kitchen, eating and living areas flow seamlessly. With red oak flooring throughout, we used white and light gray materials and crown moulding to give this large space a cohesive yet open feel. We added wainscoting to the steel post columns. Other projects in this house included installing red oak flooring throughout the first floor, refinishing the main staircase, building new stairs into the basement, installing new basement flooring and opening the basement rooms to create another entertainment area.

Gorgeous bright and airy family room featuring a large shiplap fireplace and feature wall into vaulted ceilings. Several tones and textures make this a cozy space for this family of 3. Custom draperies, a recliner sofa, large area rug and a touch of leather complete the space.

Our client's family room off the kitchen is smaller than the actual kitchen, and he was very unhappy with the lack of comfort. Our new leather sofa, with motorized recliners at each end, gave comfort and the style he'd missed. Adding a single sleek pale gold velvet chair in the bay window really opened up the space and gave way to the view. Tall gold/cream paisley panels on dark 2" wood rods highlights the 10 foot room height. A neutral rug, subtle fireplace wallpaper, mink ottomans and golden lamps finish off the space.

This inviting family room was part of the addition to the home. The focal point of the room is the custom-made white built-ins. Accented with a blue back, the built-ins provide storage and perfectly frame the fireplace and mounted television. The fireplace has a white shaker-style surround and mantle and honed black slate floor. The rest of the flooring in the room is red oak with mahogany inlays. The French doors lead outside to the patio. What started as an addition project turned into a full house remodel in this Modern Craftsman home in Narberth, PA. The addition included the creation of a sitting room, family room, mudroom and third floor. As we moved to the rest of the home, we designed and built a custom staircase to connect the family room to the existing kitchen. We laid red oak flooring with a mahogany inlay throughout house. Another central feature of this is home is all the built-in storage. We used or created every nook for seating and storage throughout the house, as you can see in the family room, dining area, staircase landing, bedroom and bathrooms. Custom wainscoting and trim are everywhere you look, and gives a clean, polished look to this warm house.
