We are framing – Another Step in the Building Process

This is truly one of the most exciting phases of building new homes – framing a house! It is a long haul from permitting, excavation, drainage, foundation, and a basement slab to frame the house. When we arrive, and the first load of lumber shows up, happiness is all around!

Bathrooms That Make an Impact!

One of my favorite rooms to design for a project is a bathroom. Often, I have four in one project! And I like them all, each with its unique personality. From the luxuries of a master bath to the function and fun of a kid's bath to a bit of drama in a powder room, it's fun to make an impact in these spaces.

Here We Go! Another New Build!

Here we go again! After months of planning and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, there is nothing better than getting the email from the City of Seattle that your building permit has been approved! Once I finish my glass of champagne (or two!), I get busy in earnest putting together the plan to get the building party started.

I wanted it to feel fresh and clean, set the stage for our home's story, and highlight my love for classic modern design.
