A well-designed chandelier does more than provide light—it transforms a space. This custom design introduces movement, balance, and artistry to this Connecticut beach house, creating a sculptural focal point that captivates from every angle. Materials, scale, and finish were all carefully curated, ensuring harmony with the home’s overall aesthetic. Swipe left to see this art piece from every angle, including a close-up at the end!

WIP :: We all like the pretty pics, but there’s something about the work in progress photos intrigue us as well. Seeing a whole-home remodel project through from concept to completion is a challenge we wholeheartedly accept again and again, through all the ups and downs, dust and delays. The true magic happens when vision meets trust—when our clients embrace the process, knowing that every meticulous detail will come together beautifully in the end.

We are endlessly grateful for those who put their faith in us, allowing us to transform their spaces with intention, expertise, and creativity. The journey may be messy, but the result is always worth it.

When it comes to designing a space that is both beautiful and functional, a custom built-in is one of the smartest investments you can make. Here’s why:

✔ Maximized Space: Unlike store-bought furniture, built-ins are tailored to fit your exact dimensions, making use of every inch—no wasted space. For example, we designed this one with large deep drawers to store toys, games and gaming equipment.

✔ Seamless Aesthetic: Designed to complement your home’s architecture and style, built-ins create a cohesive, polished look that feels intentional. Swipe left to see how this custom built-in works with the rest of this game room space.

✔ Hidden (or Displayed) Storage: Whether you want to conceal clutter behind closed doors or showcase curated collections on open shelves, built-ins give you the flexibility to organize your space your way.

✨ Fun Fact: For this project, we needed a spot to store the ping pong table top that converts the pool table. Our cabinet maker cleverly integrated an invisible pocket behind this piece—accessible with a sleek touch-latch door. Hidden storage at its finest!👌

✔ Increased Home Value: Custom built-ins not only enhance daily living but also add long-term value to your home—buyers love thoughtful, high-quality storage solutions.

✔ Tailored to Your Lifestyle: Need a chic home office, a media unit that hides wires and corrals clutter, or a dreamy closet? Custom built-ins are designed around how you live.

Modern Meets Traditional :: This lakehouse primary bath at #projectmodernlakehouseonthelane blends clean lines with classic details, creating a timeless yet fresh aesthetic. Here’s how we did it:

✔ A mix of pretty neutral tones throughout to create a calming ambiance
✔ Elegant quartz surfaces paired with sleek fixtures + a stacked wall tile (psst…zoom in to peep the teak detail on the faucet handles!)
✔ Custom deep blue cabinetry + contemporary teak hardware
✔ A spa-like walk-in shower + freestanding soaking tub
✔️ A water closet + exterior entry door to a private hot tub

The result? A refined, transitional space that feels both sophisticated and inviting—perfect for unwinding after a long day on the water.
