Our main goal was to maximize the space for entertainment – we created several different ‘zones’ that allowed us to incorporate a variety of seating options. Layering textures and subtle patterns in a neutral color story, grounded with traditional design elements for a timeless and sophisticated look. We designed a fireplace to serve as a focal point of the space, with a stone finish that adds additional texture.

This Wisconsin lakeside cabin blends rustic charm with modern comfort, thoughtfully designed to reflect its natural surroundings. Neutral-toned sofas, rust-colored velvet ottomans, and a natural wood coffee table create a warm, inviting living space. Handcrafted accents and a plaid armchair add texture and interest, while a braided rug ties in the earthy tones of the landscape. By mixing materials and drawing from nature’s palette, the design feels fresh yet timeless, perfectly at home and effortlessly comfortable.

This kitchen renovation combined multiple rooms to create one expansive, open-concept space ideal for entertaining. A 128″ island with seating for six anchors the room, while a hidden pantry keeps the layout sleek and functional. Black oak cabinetry and thoughtfully selected finishes were chosen to complement the home’s original architecture, blending modern luxury with timeless character.

The second home project started as a complete remodel, with the clients’ goal to
update the original awkward layout and create a more functional, comfortable, cohesive space. Located in Rio Verde, Arizona, Dwell designers Jackie and Timothy wanted to incorporate the surrounding landscape and traditional southwest elements, while still staying true to the clients aesthetic. Rich leathers, earthy ceramics, tribal prints, and natural materials fuse together to create an overall warm, inviting family space.

We also worked on the two guest bedrooms to make those family ready! We wanted to make sure to keep the clients artistic style and color palette in mind. An eclectic mix of styles leaning toward the transitional comfortable modern that showcases the clients’ style.

This mid-2000’s built ranch had the perfect layout and location when our clients acquired it. But with a new phase in life, they wanted to update not only the new homes finishes but their own personal style from how they lived prior. Once the team was assembled a game plan was put into action for updating the whole main floor. Alex and Sabrina partnered with the other subcontractors with selections to make sure everyone’s details achieved the best function/ look. Our big philosophy for this client/ project when it came to selections that they now love is our less is more approach to get them further from their prior very traditional styling. As we brought in new furniture additions many still have a traditional undertone mixed with pieces that are cleaner lines. The big detail that brings our true transitional together is the light monochromatic color palette that is carried though out the main floor.

This project’s main goal was to update a dated, not inviting space, into a functional beautiful oasis. The bones on this space were already great, we just enhanced those, plus added the functionality and luxury for a more modern lifestyle. We created a custom floating double vanity housed within an arched wall niche as the room divider from bedroom to bathroom. The large challenge was keeping the open concept layout of the space while adding in a full tub and allowing space for the walk-in shower. Highlights of work on this project include the custom designed floating vanity, with zellige tile backsplash, the full walls of quartz, zero entry shower with glass wall, and freestanding soaker tub.

Working with this new build’s finishes, designers Jackie Kiracofe and Timothy VanRheenen created a sophisticated yet playful urban feel for this young client’s home.

Now in conjunction with Cabinet Style and Gary Frakes Construction, it was time to update the kitchen not only functionally but aesthetically to match the previous updates and client tastes. The main goal of this project was to enhance the open concept, and grandness in the hood focal point and brighten the space from the dark, closed-in, heavy look it had before!

Designers Jackie Kiracofe and Timothy VanRheenen were challenged with creating a functional seating space in a living room that was long and narrow. They created individual seating environments that helped break up the space. Texture, pattern, and a teal accent color brought cohesion resulting in a livable, comfortable, and functional space.
