Deep dive into custom craftsmanship!

We spent an incredible few days in Dallas for an immersive training experience with Bentwood Luxury Kitchens / Harmoni Kitchens . A massive thank you to their team for being such phenomenal hosts!

From touring the state-of-the-art factory to exploring the stunning showroom, seeing the precision behind their luxury cabinetry was unforgettable. We even got to try our hand at the wood staining process ourselves.

We can’t wait to bring this elevated inspiration back to our upcoming projects!

Our team spent a beautiful morning exploring the 47th Annual San Francisco Decorator Showcase.

This year’s venue—an 1897 Queen Anne-style Victorian in Pacific Heights—brilliantly showcases creativity, historic architectural character, and artisanal craftsmanship.

We left deeply inspired, with a renewed love for thoughtfully tailored, elevated spaces.

The difference between a bathroom and a sanctuary is in the details. 🛁

By prioritizing grid alignment, mitered finishes, and integrated lighting, we turn a functional necessity into a design moment.

Do you prefer a hidden niche that blends into the walls, or a feature niche that makes a statement?

Let’s hear your pick!

/ The Art of Repair /

Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi (金継ぎ), we celebrate cracks instead of hiding them. In an apartment project in Kyoto, architects emulated the art of Kintsugi in a living room by joining the cracks with gold-colored epoxy resin, transforming what was once considered imperfect into something beautiful.

✨ Why we love it:
- Wabi-Sabi: beauty in imperfection
- Sustainability: giving damaged surfaces new life
- Unique detail: no two installations are alike

Would you embrace the “golden crack” aesthetic in your next remodel?

The Ceiling is the Fifth Wall.

Skylights turn a functional necessity into a design feature—bringing in natural light, connecting interiors to the Bay Area sky, and creating dynamic shadows that change throughout the day.

From bright primary suites to glowing light wells, they instantly elevate a space. And when planned with your lighting scheme, they ensure a seamless transition from daylight to evening.

Which skylight feature do you value most? Let us know in the comments!
