Southwest Hills Residence

When a perspective client has a home in the Southwest Hills of Portland with breathtaking views overlooking a valley of treetops, it only made sense to take full advantage of those views. Our bold vision to add 150% more outdoor decking three stories up won over the client’s imagination and excited me to take on the challenges that come with a project of this scale. In addition to transforming the outside of this home, we were able to connect the indoor spaces by layering in beautiful organic textures, colors, and patterns throughout. Teaming up with fantastic contractors, artists, and trades, allowed this project to blossom into a bold and comfortable modern Northwest family home.

Out-of-This-World Fun: Designing a Space-Themed Kids Bedroom

Embark on a cosmic adventure with your little one by transforming their bedroom into a space-themed wonderland. A space-themed kids' bedroom is not only visually appealing but also sparks imagination and curiosity. In this blog post, we'll guide you through creating a stellar space-inspired haven for your child.

• Celestial Colors: Start by choosing a color palette that reflects the vastness of outer space. Deep blues, purples, and blacks can create a cosmic backdrop. Add pops of silver or gold for a touch of starlight. Consider using glow-in-the-dark paint for an extra magical touch that will transport your child to a galaxy far, far away when the lights go out.

• Wall Murals: Set the stage for an intergalactic journey with a captivating wall mural. Options abound, from realistic depictions of planets and galaxies to whimsical cartoon-style space scenes. You could even opt for a mural that includes your child's name among the stars, making them feel like a space explorer with a personalized touch.

• Celestial Accessories: Enhance the space theme with celestial accessories. Hang glow-in-the-dark stars from the ceiling, place planet-shaped pillows on the bed, and use astronaut and rocket-themed decor. Consider incorporating a constellation night light to add a soothing and educational element to the room.

• Spaceship Bed: Transform bedtime into a cosmic voyage with a spaceship-themed bed. Many furniture stores offer spaceship-shaped beds that not only serve as a comfortable sleeping space but also act as a focal point for the room. To complete the look, add space-themed bedding featuring rockets, planets, and astronauts.

• DIY Planetary Mobiles: Get creative with a fun and educational DIY project. Create a planetary mobile by crafting miniature planets out of lightweight materials and hanging them from the ceiling. This not only adds a playful element to the room but also helps your child learn about the solar system in an engaging way.

• Space-Themed Storage: Keep the room organized with space-themed storage solutions. Consider using bins shaped like rockets or planets for toys, and use star-shaped hooks to hang bags, hats, or clothing. Practical storage can seamlessly blend with the overall theme of the room.

• Interactive Learning Spaces: Incorporate educational elements into the room to encourage learning through play. Use a chalkboard or magnetic board to create a space for drawing planets or writing messages. Include space-themed books and educational posters to stimulate your child's curiosity about the universe.

Conclusion: Designing a space-themed kids' bedroom is an exciting opportunity to foster creativity and ignite a passion for exploration. By combining celestial colors, captivating murals, and thematic accessories, you can create a bedroom that transports your child to the far reaches of the cosmos every night. Watch as their imagination takes flight and their love for learning about space reaches new heights in this out-of-this-world sanctuary.

The bold black and white hexagonal marble backsplash was the perfect way to add a graphic element in the room. The kitchen island, a multifunctional centerpiece, boasts a black base with a white marble top, providing additional workspace and a stylish gathering spot.

We took this builder’s basic kitchen and completely elevated it by updating the lighting and switching out the backsplash to a fantastic black and white hexagon shaped marble stone.

Luxury SE Portland Bathroom Remodel

This bathroom remodel was such a fantastic project to work on. From the client collaboration to the work of our trusted contractor, we could not have asked for a better outcome. Here is the client review:

“We had an excellent time working with Kevin! He was quick to respond to requests, he explained his process well and had some amazing ideas for incorporating our styles and desires into a beautiful new bathroom. I really thought he did a great job of learning about us and what we wanted and synthesizing all that information into a cohesive plan that met all the goals. He was diligent and detail-oriented.

The crew he worked with were all such nice people, and the rest of the house stayed clean and clutter-free during the remodel, which was a nice extra touch.All contractors and workers, in addition to Kevin, seemed dedicated to the goal of a high-quality project that would meet our goals - and it was accomplished!

I would definitely work with Kevin again if more remodeling/ design work is needed!”

This bathroom renovation is a testament to how reconfiguring a space within the confines of existing walls can completely transform the function and aesthetic of a room.

The balance of modern style with a sexy, classic undertone is everything we love about this design. It transcends any one specific style in favor of elevating taste. The balance and scale was thoughtfully considered for the form and function of this vanity area.

Before the outdated early 2000s bathroom felt drab, heavy, and cramped. We ended up taking out the built-in tub which allowed us to create an expansive shower and modern feeling bathroom. We then moved the linen closet behind shower for extra storage.

One of my favorite parts of this bathroom remodel is the large format marble-like tiles in the shower and on the floor. Less grout lines allow the veins to truly shine. The warm taupe tones and dark brown and blacks play nicely with the gold accents throughout. This mix elevates the overall feeling of this luxury bathroom design.

Storage is key in any home, especially the bathroom. Keeping items organized and easily accessible are the ingredients to a happy home.

For this linen closet, we designed a mixture of drawer sizes to accommodate different size items. We combined these drawers with a tall set of double doors for folded towel, toilet paper, and other shelf-needed bathroom goods.

Bidet is the day to talk about clean booties. One of the biggest shifts in the bathrooms I have noticed when designing a custom home or renovating a bathroom is bidets. For every design, we make sure to have a plug installed behind every toilet in the house so a smart toilet can be installed. Don't worry, if you do not have an electrical outlet, there are plenty of bidet retrofits for your current toilet.

We decided to be a little provocative with the bathroom decor and accessories. The homeowners were thrilled when I presented these plates for the wall. It’s the perfect balance of sex, love, and rock-n-roll.

All of the things the truly tie a design together is the finer details. This design has a blend of warm neutrals, straight lines with touches of curves, and a little bit of black accents woven together to create the perfect sophisticated luxurious bathroom design. It was a pleasure working with my clients, the trades, and vendors to bring this room to life.

Edge details are an important decision for any remodel. It will be the difference between a good-looking bathroom and a stunning design that envelopes homeowners and guests when they experience the space.

This is a newfound sense of space and luxury. We elevated this bathroom space with a stunning remodel. Every detail was thought through and executed with precision. It is one of my favorite bathroom designs this year! The clients and I worked well together creating a space that reflects their style with a touch of KTI flair. After the design, we brought in the best team of trades and contractors to bring the vision to life.

Cheerful home design with tons of color and pattern.

The combination of colors, patterns, and textures are the true star of this home. Every detail was curated to reflect the fun personality and fresh vibes of my client. The ideal outcome of a perfect project. I hope you enjoy touring this truly lively design!

Laughing with my client as we have a blast putting the final touches on her fantastic home we've been sprucing up over the last year. It feels amazing seeing my client so happy and laughing along with her.

This functional swivel chair serves multiple purposes. My client can swivel and enjoy their amazing city view, they can swivel and enjoy the warmth of their fireplace, or they have a front-row seat to their favorite TV show.

This modern living room had a floor to ceiling fireplace with a flowing wave tile and elevated linear firebox. We flanked it with gold etageres accessorized with colorful accents and two fashionable blue patterned swivel chairs. A marble and gold coffee table is centered on a cobalt colored oriental rug anchoring the room.

If you have never thought about having a patterned sofa, you have now. This sofa is in a stain resistant, pet friendly patterned fabric. It adds the perfect texture and tone to this open living space.

From this angle you also get a peek-a-boo of the color assortment of pillows on the sofa that bring the room together.

This dining room is surrounded by all the beautiful things! Custom drapes, beautiful dining table that's a piece of petrified wood, cobalt blue chairs, colorful drapes, and the perfect light fixture.

The petrified wood dining table top is the perfect centerpiece to this dining room design. The texture in the wood is sculptural and sophisticated.

A warm taupe kitchen with a crisp marble mosaic backsplash is great for someone who wants a light and bright kitchen without white cabinets.

By adding a layer of metallic gold into this design, we were able to keep the space feeling warm with that perfect touch a glam.

The gold accents in this island pendant bring warmth into this kitchen. It mixes perfectly with the modern lucite as well.

The hall console boasts tons of storage. More attention to detail was thought through by selecting a storage piece with a textured shagreen front.

The art is bold with energetic brush strokes. We flanked the art with fabulous Kelly Wearstler lights, an art piece in and of itself.

We chose to bring life into this office design with a colorful and stylized modern botanical wallpaper. This greens and blues envelope the space with life and happiness.

The main floor powder bathroom was not ignored. We upgraded this space with a self-lit vanity mirror, under cabinet lighting, glamorous wallpaper, and jewelry for hanging light pendants. Guests are going to remember going in this room.

This townhouse did not have a large, grand entry, as is the nature of most townhomes. We made a conscious decision to make a bold statement right as you walk in. This beautiful blue and white inlay chest in a fun pattern sets the tone for the rest of the design.

The blue and white chest has ample storage for that illusive “junk drawer” we all have. It also serves the more practical use of housing the dog’s leashes and mess bags. But you would never know with the beautiful accessories on top.

Staircase nooks are a great option for a working space locations. So many areas of a home need to be function while looked amazing at the same time.

As you walk into the primary bedroom, you are greeted with a more monochromatic design backdrop with punches of bold pinks. My client’s wanted to celebrate femininity, glamor, and class. The tufted headboard brings amazing texture to the room.

This bedroom has a stylish layered look to it’s design. Soft pinks, grays, and whites make for subtlety dynamic bedding, furnishings, and art.

By adding a large-scale piece of art above the nightstand, we are able to subconsciously draw your eye up towards the ceiling, giving the room a taller sense of space. A softer, watercolor style modern art with no image was chosen to be the perfect backdrop to the layered gem-cut gold lamp.

One of my favorite items to add into my designs is a fun conversation piece. Often times it comes in the form of a unique chair.

For the primary suite’s bathroom, we opted for a more understated design. Rather than going bold with color, pattern, and texture, the client wanted a more serene feel.

This guest bedroom continues with the colorful vibe throughout the rest of the house. With a more limited budget for this secondary space, we focused mixing special pillows with a cleaner bedspread in order to make this design feel high-end.

We maximized the seating on the balcony of this townhome by choosing a stylish and modern sectional. With more room for guests to enjoy, this patio is the place to be in the summertime.

A dynamic color scheme of blue, mint, and pink mixes perfectly together to create an amazing outdoor retreat in the center of the city.
