Answering one of our most frequently asked questions

2024-04-02T15:44:51-04:00

One of the most common questions we answer from strangers is: "What paint color is that?" It can be quite amusing when I spot someone slowly creeping by our office, which happens to be located in a 19th Century Carriage Barn. I realize they're taking a photo from the front seat of their car and chuckle to myself because I know exactly what they're up to. But some are bolder than others. They park in the driveway, stride up to the office, and instead of popping in for a visit, they hold up paint chips, attempting to match a color in their hand with our siding or door color. It's rather hysterical. This scenario recently unfolded when Jason happened to be outside the barn. A gentleman approached with paint samples in hand. When Jason asked if he could assist him, the gentleman explained that he and his wife were

Custom Powder Room Vanity – Needham

2023-10-17T13:38:02-04:00

From its raw state, we designed and created a one-of-a-kind powder room vanity *All known materials listed at bottom of post* We first shared about CEO and Principal Designer/Craftsman Jason Hoffman's Black Walnut adventure here. Today, we're sharing the finished product of this bathroom remodel in Needham, MA.           As a refresher.... Below is a quick render of the design approved by our client. This is a result of Phase 3 of our Design Build process. Jason then started selecting the lumber, considering what part of the vanity each piece would be used for, paying special attention to color, grain patterns and figuring. From there, he started creating and fitting each individual piece.                 Next came sanding, finishing and assembly. Waterfall Countertop Inspiration Our client was inspired by a few, impactful, powder room photos she found on Houzz.com; see

This time, our Luxury Primary Bathroom remodel in Needham was selected as Bathroom of the Week! Contributor Jeannie Matteucci interviewed Jason and myself to hear about our Design Build process and the inspiration behind the complete, bathroom overhaul. Unique elements help this bathroom stand out. From the large tub niche, to the scallop glass tile, and the custom designed double vanity with 100% usable storage (no faux drawers), this design stemmed from many conversations with our clients. We heard the pain points and wish list. As Jason mentioned in the interview, the caliber of this home was not meet with the previous Primary Bathroom. Our team

Forty Under 40 Winner! As seen in Pro Remodeler – April/May 2021 Issue Hello! Jason here. Megan posts 95% of our social media posts but I’m taking over temporarily to highlight a very important award.

Although she’s happy to have the title “under 40” near her name, Megan is uncomfortable with attention. But as the 1st person our clients connect with and a regular voice, face and advisor through our renovation process, I felt it important to highlight this well-deserved recognition.

Black Walnut Custom Vanity – an intro –

2021-04-16T14:04:18-04:00

Custom Powder Room Vanity We have been on the hunt for some interesting pieces of American Black Walnut for a custom bathroom vanity we're designing and building for a client in Needham. Black Walnut has always been sought after as a fine furniture wood because of it’s workability, beautiful rich color, grain movement and stability. Today, we are seeing it show up more and more in small batch cabinetry and tables. In spite of it’s enduring popularity, it makes up less than 2% of all commercially harvested lumber in America which explains its high cost per board foot. Our client has this vision, of a furniture-grade vanity, with an extra thick stone countertop and beautiful gold faucets. Along with custom wainscoting, new flooring and lights, this Needham half bathroom is getting a full overhaul as part of a 2-bathroom and laundry room renovation. For the purpose of this post,

Recently, one of our kitchen projects was selected as a highlight photo for an article written on Houzz.com. We are honored it was featured on such an important topic - COUNTERTOPS! In the article, titled "What Kitchen Countertop Color Should You Choose?" the author (and Principal Designer) Yanic Simard of Toronto Interior Design Group brings readers through a variety of considerations and color options when selecting a kitchen countertop. There are literally hundreds of options when it comes to countertops. Most options filter into a few main categories like: marble, granite, quartz or wood. Yanic breaks down of few popular options ranging from pure white with crisp and modern lines, to the warm tones of a wood top or a butcher block option. In addition to kitchen surfaces, the same principles apply with bathrooms or other spaces. The photo highlighted in the article is from our South Shore Kitchen
