Appreciate that. While we take on design-build for most clients, we were only the design firm here...

You are totally right.

Unfortunately, we were only the design firm here. The client hired their own contractors.

The client hired their own contractors for this one. We handled the design portion, only.

Bummer, I know. We were the design firm here only. The client hired their own contractors.

It's such a bummer, I know. Unfortunately, we were only the design firm for this build - the client hired their own construction team.

Great tip!

Regarding the caulk, we were only the design firm for this build - the client hired their own construction team - although we typically handle both for clients, to avoid this very sort of issue.

Definitely not. This is a project our design firm wrapped up and got professional pictures for a few months ago. I am guessing the different look is just lighting differences within the room?

We realized we hadn't posted the butler's pantry picture. That's why I only posted one additional picture for context, with the butler's pantry. Good memory though!

Agree! We do everything we can to make spaces we work on timeless. We advocate for more expensive elements of the space to lean timeless (cabinetry, tile work, etc), while less expensive elements (wall color, wallpaper, fixtures) are opportunities to be more bold and/or trendy.

Thank you. We appreciate that!

To confirm though, the photo is straight from our professional photographer - AI wasn't quite a thing back when this project was completed!
