A well-designed space should be cohesive and
thoughtful, never overwhelming. Like an unfolding flower, it should reveal itself in stages-timeless
enough to never become outdated, yet contemporary and at the forefront of current trends to keep the space
fresh and alive. Design should never be boring or staid.
Kae creates captivating rooms that fit the
needs of each individual client. Relaxing, easy spaces counterpoint with stylish furnishings, lush
fabrics, and unique objects d' art- all with articulate attention to detail.
For this project, the built environment was kept simple so the eye could focus on the wall of 18 foot windows and the garden beyond. It bonds the interior and the exterior together representing an organic transitional design.

A country modern influence. The following eight photos are all part of of the same ongoing project. Every space in this home is being redesigned, one room at a time. The clients wanted a "happy place" that made them smile.

In keeping with the country modern theme, this custom designed barn door is the entrance to the master bath.
In this master bathroom, Kae designed this vanity using mixed textures to add interest. While the vanity frame is painted white, the doors are finished to look like a sophisticated version of old barn wood.
This is a closeup photo of the countertop and shiplap wainscotting that line the walls. This combination of textures not only adds interest to the space, it also frames the vanity and defines it as a strong focal point.
This space originally held a huge antiquated spa tub on a raised platform. Its location made it hard to access the tub. By removing the platform and tub and adding a new free-standing tub backed by shiplap wainscotting, not only was the room transformed design-wise but it increased the overall space within the room. .
The original designed fireplace and bookshelves combination is part of a major remodel.
