Personalizing Your Home With Color
Creative solutions – and gorgeous colors – are on display in this kitchen and bathroom remodeling project in a 1924 home in Portland’s Alberta neighborhood.
A Time-Traveling Kitchen + Bath
You never know what you’ll find when you start a remodeling project. This 1903 Queen Anne “Vernacular Victorian” was a modest urban farmhouse, untouched for 40 years. The homeowners wanted to bring their home back to its original glory.
Luxury Bath Fits Home’s Contemporary Style
To better reflect a contemporary design aesthetic, Neil Kelly created a design plan for a clean, luxurious, spa-like bathroom that featured an eye-catching, marble tile vanity wall, a freestanding, vessel soaking tub and a large shower with a functional bench.
Modern Yet Traditional Kitchen Remodel
Built in 1923, this kitchen was remodeled in the 1980s, but the design paid no homage to the character of the Seattle home. That is, until Neil Kelly Design Consultant Abbas Rachaman and his team got hold of it.
A Dreamy Master Suite
If there was a Street of Dreams devoted to bathrooms, this renovated master suite designed by Neil Kelly Design Consultant Mary Miksch, would be a headliner.
A Scandinavian-Inspired Kitchen
Incorporating elements of Scandinavian design, this Kirkland, WA kitchen undergoes a brilliant transformation thanks to Neil Kelly Design Consultant Anna Lovell.
Tiny Home, Big Possibilities
This Portland ADU combines contemporary NW design with industrial elements, creating a light, spacious feel inside a small envelope.
A Craftsman-Inspired Delight
Nestled in a beautiful wooded setting on several acres of land, with horses on the horizon, this home features timber and stone throughout the interior and exterior. Outside is a seamless extension of the interior great room where the homeowners can grill dinner or just relax.
College Hill Mid-Century Kitchen
While this Eugene client’s existing kitchen was functional, they wanted a place where their family of four could gather to enjoy the gorgeous panoramic views. Neil Kelly Design Consultant Stefanie Rotella was tasked with creating a space that would visually connect the new kitchen with the larger living area.

Overheard
Tub or Shower? “If it turns out the tub is only used for watering house plants, or worse, for the cat box, I say NO! I have learned over the years, there are ‘tub people’ and ‘shower people.'” — Kathleen Donohue, Bend Design Consultant
Small Kitchen Design: “It’s often beneficial to have a mobile surface like a prep table on casters or a table that folds out from the wall.” — Karen Richmond, Portland Design Consultant
Backsplash Tile: “Something about a handmade ceramic tile makes me swoon. The imperfect edges of each tile allow the grout to show off, and the subtle tone variations from tile to tile add character.” — Erika Altenhofen, Portland Design Consultant
Regional Differences: “In California, people are very interested in keeping up with the neighbors and resale value. In the Pacific Northwest, there is a greater attention to craftsmanship that I find really inspiring.” — Jamie Smugeresky, Seattle Design Consultant
