BEFORE: BETHESDA COLONIAL

We are very excited to be working on this new project with a lovely couple in Bethesda.

The owners recently completed a kitchen and basement renovation.

We will be creating plans for the existing breakfast area, living room (leading off the kitchen/breakfast area) and the basement, which is a completely brand spanking new space.

EVOLUTION OF A PROJECT: RUSTIC CONTEMPORARY

We are now a little over halfway through the project. Painting is completed, stone has gone up on the fireplace wall, much of the furniture has arrived and the window treatments are underway.
Here's a little sneak preview of the project.

Framing out the new chimney wall

The lads get to work on the stone
Almost completed!

An oversized piece of blue stone similar to this will be the hearth

Furniture arrives in the repainted sunroom. Much more relaxing than that library red!

New paint in the basement

This hand forged lovely will soon be hanging over the breakfast table :)
