Japanese Spa Bathroom Makeover - Before
This bathroom was recently remodeled by the previous homeowner, but unfortunately not to the taste of the current one. The customer wanted to keep the basic layout, especially the shower with its convenient and universal design.
Japanese Spa Bathroom Makeover - Before
I liked the storage and counter space of this His & Hers (although I did consider turning the right side into a floor-to-ceiling cabinet). The single mirrors and left wall create a lot of unused space though, so I addressed that in my design.
Japanese Spa Bathroom Makeover - After
My Japanese spa-inspired design includes a Wyndham Collection tub, Horow Smart Toilet, and an addition with picture window offering privacy and tranquility. Teak wood throughout is both gorgeous and moisture-resistant.

Here the larger mirror and 19th CE Japanese print fill out the space and provide luxury and thematic consistency. The countertop is a beautiful Viva Calacatta Diana Cobalt quartz, with Anzzi Tara glass sinks in Sapphire Burst.
Outdoor Grill Remodel
I had a stunning Rainforest Green countertop picked out for this design, but I couldn't find one available in nearby slab yards. We then went to my friends at Toluca Granite looking for remnants. We found this beautiful piece and with The Power of the Model we were able to visualize the finished product. This bold piece fits beautifully with the various trees and Corso Italia Flagstone Gold porcelain pavers.
Rock Rose Landscaping installed the pavers and built the cooking station, and Shoreline Floors installed the countertop and finalized the grill installation.
Notice how true to life the scale and depth of the 3D model is versus the real life photographs!
Backyard Transformation
For this design my customer asked for complete transformation of the backyard, so I threw everything and the kitchen sink at it! I replaced the exterior wall with a window wall, added a 2nd floor balcony, elevated deck surrounded by corten steel planters (an Austin, Texas modern classic), and an outdoor cooking station with storage, refrigeration, and of course a built-in grill. Plunge/cocktail pools, which have been gaining in popularity for their versatility and visual appeal, are a must for Texas backyards of almost any size.

Kitchen Remodel
When I see a kitchen with lots of natural wood/brown and beige tones with Santa Cecilia or Venetian Gold countertops, my first suggestion is to try and get some color in there! That can be done with painting the walls or cabinets, or a fun color on a feature/statement wall if available. You can of course replace the countertops, or even just the cabinet pulls to make a statement that more fits your style.
Once we found a color we liked for the cabinets (Sherwin Williams Inky Blue) and the Miseno Springfield pulls in Champagne Bronze, it was down to selecting a quartz countertop. In the after picture below you'll see the popular Vicostone Misterio quartz counters, and I love the decision to have Mannington Sanctuary Shell White Oak floors flow all through the ground floor!

Front of House Landscaping.
After wonderfully restoring this home following damage from Hurricane Katrina, the owners wanted to address the front yard landscaping. In the after pics we can see Let's Dance Sky View Hydrangeas and Boxwoods on the left, and Wax Myrtles on the right.
