Green Kitchen Seattle
Green is a great colour to bring internally, it’s found everywhere in nature and plays well with almost any other colour. It suits any style kitchen, from traditional too modern and everywhere in between. It has such a calming effect, setting any room up for a relaxed atmosphere.
So my clients had already purchased their gold backsplash and had trouble envisioning how a emerald green kitchen and a gold backsplash would tie in together. Realistically they had nothing too fear. green, gold and white with brass accents shouts both luxury and class. This isn't the first room where green has made an appearance! It's run throughout their home but using different spectral greens to emphasise each rooms personality.
I cant sign off without mentioning their beautiful and humongous island. That saying 'Go big or go home' is definitely relating here!! What a statement feature. It has taken this lovely family a long time to get to this stage so they deserve every minute of luxury, joy and happiness that this house will bring them.

Bathroom Renovation Cork
This is an example of the 10 second virtual walkthrough that I give each client at the end of their design. My clients appreciate this added detail as they can virtually tour their room and watch it come to life.
Renovation Monochrome
I have just recently finished this beautiful renovation 3D design in Co. Cork. I am generally not lost for words but this home is truly magical. Mid-18th century two story house filled with character, original features restored to full glory down through the years. It has changed ownership 6 times but my recent clients have been living in this house for 6 years now and state it will be in their family decades to come.
As I was saying a lot of the original features have being restored to full glory. The vanity in this bathroom was an original which was restored 15 years ago by the former owners and my clients just couldn't part with it and wanted to incorporate it into the design.
This bathroom is to be shared by my clients two eldest twin daughters. They asked for some modern aspects to be incorporated as well but still being sensitive to the traditional side of their home. A wall hung toilet was to replace the Canterbury high level toilet that was originally there. Shower niches are to be added just beside the bath area with LED strip lighting. The sanitary ware in the shower area will be updated. Instead of the freestanding cast iron bath, a built-in bath will take its place with added accessories like the floating step.
The first things the girls told me was they had a slight obsession with monochrome. This was the only room they were allowed design themselves, they knew what they wanted from the get go. They wanted the design to last throughout the years and the outcome to be elegant not too girlie as they had put it. Extremely mature beyond their years. I loved every bit of contact between the girls they were a delight to deal with. They were ecstatic with their final design.

Main Bathroom Galway
A good percentage of my clients would have a lot of sanitary ware purchased before they would come to me or would know exactly what they want style wise. The toilet placement is always the first major decision to be made at foundation level. I actually found this the hardest to decide on, once we knew the placement the rest of the bathroom fell into place.
From the 3D designs underneath you will notice Danielle's toilet placed under the window. So realistically that has left you with 3 walls to decide on where your vanity/shower etc. would go. In this bathroom it made sense to put the shower and vanity all on the back wall. If this bathroom needed wheelchair accessibility at some stage then you would be covered at all angles.
So the main tile in this design was to be left as neutral as possible keeping away from white neutrals but using creams and beige with earthy undertones instead.
On the vanity wall the main tile is a herringbone style tile in a forest green with a gold grout. Yes I said it right, "gold grout" it gives your tile that extra wow factor. On the same wall you will notice the transition of tiles in the shower area to a cream marble with a gold vein throughout. To save on budget you could bring your herringbone the whole way across but my client loved this transition and it stayed.
This is why 3D Designs are so effective. Being able to visually see your room before your build commences further is incredible.
