Q: Can you work with any custom home builder?
Yes we work with many builders, and have found it to be a great collaboration that benefits the client. We work as a team with builders and their subs to help our clients achieve the home they are dreaming of.
Q: When designing a custom home, what are the most important factors to consider?
How do you want to use your home? We like to get to know the client and how they live and how they envision their life in their new home. Do you entertain? How many will live here? Then the overall aesthetic.
Q: Love that laundry room! Will you share the color? It’s so clever how you built the countertop over the appliances.
What a fun punch of color! Sherwin Williams – Haven #6437. Pairs perfectly with this Thibaut wallpaper…The client has said that her laundry room design has made the mundane laundry chores more cheerful!
Q: This color palette is like a breath of fresh air! Tell us how you & the client arrived at the choices.
A project’s color palette needs to be appropriate for the function of the room. Haven is definitely not the color for a media room! Often the color scheme is influenced by the client – what colors speak to them and what brings their individual personality into the design.
Q: For all those who are considering a remodel or building a custom home why hire a professional designer?
A professional designer brings a wealth of expertise to a project! We don’t hire anything out – from drafting the space, creating 3D renderings, selecting finishes, regularly scheduled site checks with the builder to help ensure the design is being executed as planned, and all the final touches of furniture planning, window treatments, and decorating.
Q: What are your favorite design elements achieved on this project?
This project is a perfect blend of rustic textures and clean lines. We love the antique pantry door, and the distressed pine beams. We created the perfect finish to match the white oak cabinets. The design for the fireplace was created from slabs of coping stone to highlight the modern farmhouse aesthetic.
This home was featured on the annual Hachie Home Tour and we are looking forward to celebrating our community and the homes that connect us again this coming fall!
