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.

A semi-detached guest suite (which can also be used as a studio, office, pool house or other function) with separate entrance is the front of the house adjacent to a gated entry. In the courtyard, a pool and spa create a private retreat. The main house is approximately 2500 SF and includes four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The design centerpiece is the two-story great room with asymmetrical stone fireplace and wrap-around staircase and balcony. A modern open-concept kitchen with large island and Thermador appliances is open to both great and dining rooms.

Although not fully hidden with the wall-mount soundbar, the technology blends great with the existing cabinetry. The Loop was a bit limited in this space because the client didn't want to change any cabinetry, and wanted to keep the cabinet top clean. This provides great sound quality with the hidden subwoofer and sources, and the white frame on the TV really lets the TV blend into the decor.

This sensational stone fireplace was designed in 2015 for the family room of a lakeside Bloomfield Hills home. Natural Fond du Lac stones in varying sizes and subtle shades are dry stacked, running floor to ceiling and window to window for a dramatic effect. A floating limestone mantel and hearth lighten the look and frame the horizontal firebox, where natural linear masonry fire brick, stained to a rich charcoal color before mortaring, perfectly complements the lighter grays of the natural stone. A birch log set brings a bit of the outdoors in and ignites the space with a rustic, woodsy effect. Centered overhead is a stepped ceiling detail with indirect lighting via recessed down lights and LED strip uplighting, for a soft transition into dusky evenings.

This mid-century modern was a full restoration back to this home's former glory. The vertical grain fir ceilings were reclaimed, refinished, and reinstalled. The floors were a special epoxy blend to imitate terrazzo floors that were so popular during this period. Reclaimed light fixtures, hardware, and appliances put the finishing touches on this remodel.
