The Dog Stair

This is just out of control and totally hilarious.  A full on custom built set of stairs just for the dogs.  The designers killed it here incorporating the 2 sets side by side and tying all of the interior lines together.  The shapes and patterns from structure and furniture all play off one another.  The best part, in my opinion, is the handrail.  Safety first for the pooch.  You can also check this post over at Fred Flare.

PR Class of 2013

A nice little honor coming off the holiday weekend.  Thanks so much to my sweet sis, Cristie, for the love and for putting together an amazing nomination letter and getting it out to Professional Remodeler mag.  You can check it out here.

The Sheep Cottage

A guest quarters/sheep shearers cottage with modern lines, rustic industrial finishes and crazy scenic views.  This place is hot.  Handcrafted details throughout from the metal shelving to the wood clad interior walls.

The volume is fresh and well showcased with geometric design.

The Long Library

A ton of books and limited space?  No problem here.  This long hall/corridor was quickly converted into a library with a few rows of shelving and a bench.  It ties in well with the badass, 100 year old mosaic flooring too.  Also a genius little design idea with the desk lamps on the ceiling.  A creative touch to providing directional lighting in the space.  This post also ran here.

Keyless

This is how you do keyless.  Check it.  August is the company putting this out later in the year.  It's pretty fresh.

Kitchen Basic

A classic NYC loft space that presents a ton of possibilities for this kitchen.  I like the minimalistic approach in layout and cabinetry (or lack of).  It's not flashy at all but it works.  The vintage green farm sink sets it all off.  Basic yet still flows with texture.

Living Room Display

Architecturally it really is a pretty sweet place.  A creative use of reinforced concrete and steel to create these clusters of random floating boxes that define the space.  However this uber modern vibe with the full open layout that maximizes a ton of natural light just isn't getting it done.  Come on.  The main attraction here is the badass, custom-made lift.  That's the gem that sets this place off.  There's room for 9 cars down below and 1 for display in the living room.  So fresh.  What's your favorite?  You can also check this post, here.
