A Great Room that didn’t live up to its name finds new (multi) purpose

There were reptiles. And a dog. And a cat. And three teenage girls with bedrooms and strong opinions. And then it was every room in the house.

There were toys everywhere, but nowhere to sit down. Now the house is full of color and light and friends, because it’s perfect for casual entertaining.

A muddy, slippery mess in winter, the backyard needed FFD’s special brand of TLC in order to become a family (and canine) delight.

The range hood was a headache, and a big, empty space under the stairs begged to become a mini mudroom –boom, done, while the family was on vacation.

A vast, unusable backyard was transformed into a glorious multi-use outdoor space, perfect for entertaining, relaxing and pee-wee soccer.

Neglected for years, a tiny mountain cabin gets a new lease on life on a tight budget and instantly becomes a magnet for guests.

A small house with an enormous, unused garage is transformed to satisfy a family’s need for a playroom, gym, home office and entertainment space

A flat with great bones (and tons of crown molding) gets styled for an owner with plenty of panache and more taste than cash.

Out with the old and in with the new (or reupholstered) …moving to a mountain top in San Anselmo meant adopting a new lifestyle.

Could we project-manage a half-built medical office building? And could we make it gorgeous, practical and friendly? We never had. But we did.

Many of our projects start small, with a simple request – a bedroom refresh. But then one thing leads to another…

Four kids grown and gone meant it was time for a full-on refresh, embracing the owners’ collection of art and vintage furniture.
