Diamond Creek Cottage

Banner Elk, NC

This complete interior renovation gave us ample inspiration to create a totally new feeling. The previously dark interior was transformed into a light and airy interior bringing new life to the living space of this quaint mountain cottage. Exquisite fabrics and furnishings were chosen in keeping with the traditional mountain flavor, with our client’s preference for light and airy blues and whites in mind. Exquisite fabrics and luxury textures that bounce off the reclaimed pine-stained walls and floor, fill the home. New lighting fixtures, rugs, and upholstery are all designed around the homeowner’s vast collection of regional artworks. Small rooms and spaces were redesigned and renovated to create a much more functional and larger master suite on the main floor for the homeowners’ summer residence. Revamped kitchen and bathrooms, with custom cabinets, provide fresh new spaces, all with a nod to the client’s preference for cool and calming palates of color.

Swanson Lodge

Banner Elk, NC

The design approach for this mountain lodge was inspired by the client’s desire to create a comfortable and inviting family retreat. The natural elements of wood, bark, stone, and metalwork add textural interest and bring the outside in while cozy upholstery and interesting fabrics add contrast and color to create a restful environment perfect for gathering family and friends. Entertaining is made easy by the live edge dining table, custom-made to seat 14 guests, while locust logs combined with a burl slab create the wine bar. The living and kitchen areas both completely open onto an extensive patio with stunning views of the Blue Ridge mountains. The comfortable and inviting rustic elegance of this lodge will contribute to family togetherness for many years to come.
