The owners wanted a modern country house, but with a touch of distinction. They had been living with the original construction finishes for ten years and were ready for something special, something that felt personalized and intentional. They had spent months searching for inspiration, and when we sat down together, one thing was clear: they wanted warmth, natural materials, and a level of craftsmanship that could be seen and felt.

The kitchen became the heart of the transformation. Custom white oak cabinets with vertical grain and black hardware set the tone: natural, organic, and sophisticated. We designed them to reach the ceiling, maximizing storage space and creating striking vertical lines. The black soapstone countertops and backsplash contrast with the warmth of the wood, while the enormous island with its polished stone countertop became the family’s new gathering place.

Regarding the vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, we opened it up during the demolition and found a beautiful existing structure that had been hidden behind drywall. Instead of covering it up again, we celebrated it with those robust wooden beams that anchor the entire space.
The brass accessories and sconces provide the necessary warmth and glamour without being overwhelming. These are the details that elevate the rustic style to something more refined.

But what truly stands out is the master bathroom. The symmetrical layout with matching white oak vanities flanking an arched doorway leading to the shower is pure architectural drama. Through that arch, you glimpse the white-tiled bathroom: a spa-like sanctuary with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower that makes you feel miles away from the stresses of daily life.

The herringbone brick-patterned tile floor adds texture and earthy tones to the space, while the open shelving of the vanities provides light and accessibility. And those brass faucets and ceramic sconces? Perfection.
