Dayton Racquet Club – Elevator Bay
Nest Designs was contacted by the Dayton Racquet Club to help them update their elevator bay. Replacing the existing flooring, with new 12×24 tiles, made a huge impact on the space. We also decided to paint the walls, the elevators and add an accent wall in the background for a pop of color. The lighting was an update from my previous work with the Dayton Racquet Club.

Nest Designs was contacted by a homeowner who was ready for a change to his existing kitchen. The above image is what his kitchen looked like before the renovation.
Here is what his kitchen looks like now. As you can see, we removed several walls and opened up the kitchen into the living area. That was just the start of the transformation. My design also added a dual height island with seating for four. New flooring, new granite counter-tops, a new lighting plan and a peninsula hood are also part of the this space’s transformation.

You can see how the two colors of kitchen cabinetry play against each other in this image. There are also two different types of granite on the counter-tops. Photo by Bealer Photographic Arts.
Nest Designs was called in to help the homeowner’s select the finish materials and paint color for their hall bathroom. The use of the tile all the way to ceiling in the shower area makes this space feel bigger. The dark vanity looks great against the warm tones in the travertine tile. The oil rubbed bronze finish on the vanity light ties the fixture with the vanity. Sherwin Williams Oyster Bay is the wall color. Photo by Bealer Photographic Arts.
The same house that is pictured above, but this image is of the master bathroom. I worked with a local contractor to design the floor-plan, design the vanity and select the tile, counter-top, light fixtures, and paint color. The lower portion of the windows are frosted to give the homeowner’s more privacy. The walk-in shower is located behind the vanity wall. Photo by Bealer Photographic Arts.
The only black and white image you will find on my website. I re-vamped my own back porch last year and am tickled with the final product. I used shakes (shingles) to side the interior walls and kept the exposed beams on the ceiling. The addition of a space heater in the cooler months allows me to ‘winter’ all of my outdoor plants.

Here is a color version of the same porch. We moved the chairs around for this angle. The lime green chairs were purchased at a garage sale in South Park. The raspberry paint is a custom color from Sherwin Williams. The sisal rug is perfect for this space. Photo by Bealer Photographic Arts.
Nest Designs was contacted by a client who was moving his church into a new location. The new space was very large and very cold. The challenge was to give the space some personality, make it feel warm and inviting and do everything on a small budget. The image above shows the addition of a textured wall, the new furnishing and new accent wall color. Photo by Bealer Photographic Arts.

The client also requested an area where groups could gather informally. Photo by Bealer Photographic Arts.
ECO Rehabarama
Here is a full view of the barn door with the staged dining room. The furniture was loaned by Crate&Barrel.
Here is an image of the home office in the ECO Rehabarama home.
Nest Designs was hired by a local contractor to design the floor plan for the ECO Rehabarama home they were rehabbing. My design was based on maximizing floor space and creating a distinct look for the interior of the house. Using a barn door to divide two adjacent spaces made perfect sense. No door swing = more floor space. The bright red door also created a dramatic backdrop for the dining area. The paint color is Sherwin Williams SW7590 Red Obsession.

There were some major changes in this kitchen renovation. The first thing Nest Designs created was a u-shaped kitchen floor-plan that incorporated a breakfast bar/peninsula with two different heights for the counter-tops. The homeowner’s requested that their existing flooring be incorporated into the new design and that is the only part of the old kitchen that remains.

The soapstone counter-tops really compliment the custom cherry cabinetry. Nest Designs selected gorgeous slate tile for the back-splash. All new stainless steel appliances, a contemporary island hood and great lighting fixtures (selected by the homeowner’s) really add to the transformation of this kitchen. And yes, that is a soapstone sink. After photos by Bealer Photographic Arts.
Photography Wall in Office
The above image highlights a wall where I used the client’s historical product photographs. The wall is located just outside of the conference room and showcases the product development over the years. 5o black and white images were placed in white frames and arranged on the wall.
Office Cubicle
The above image shows the new office systems that Nest Designs selected all the finish materials for. Since the client forecast a need to move various offices within the building, it was important to select a color scheme that would work with existing office divides and future office systems. The below image shows the tiles Nest Designs selected for the restrooms. Running the over-sized tile planks vertically helps to make the bathroom feel taller. Photos by Bealer Photographic Arts.
Commercial Restroom
South Park Kitchen
Before - South Park Kitchen
Some pretty dramatic changes to a kitchen renovation in South Park. The outdated kitchen had too many doorways and one extra large window that limited the cabinetry options in the previous design. Nest Designs LLC created a new floor plan that eliminated two doorways and one window. Removing those items allowed for a wall of cabinetry and a large amount of surface area on the counter-tops. The area to the left of the stove used to be a doorway that led to the outside of the house while the area to the right of the stove use to be a window.

Repositioning the island and the stove helped create better flow in the kitchen. This historic home had 9′ ceilings and running the cabinetry the height of the ceiling added much needed storage, along with adding a lot of visual appeal. Notice the support beams above the opening that lead into the mudroom and additional pantry (not pictured). By opening up the doorway that had a very small passageway, we were able to make those two spaces more unified. It also allowed for more natural light to flood into the kitchen.

Master Bedroom
The upper level of the condo features two bedrooms, a bathroom, a laundry room and a linen closet. This picture is of the Master Bedroom. I chose a gorgeous green color for the wall, a queen sized bed with a rough, natural finish and two ottomans as nightstands. Soft natural bedding and pillows with text and texture give the bedroom a very comfortable and cozy feel. Photo by Nest Designs LLC.

For fun I chose a dresser that was made from reclaimed wood. The lamp carries the wooden texture over from the bed. The dress form with the metal helmet and the vintage luggage add style and playfulness to the bedroom. Hanging the mirror on the vertical instead of the horizontal pulls all of the elements together.

bathroom
Here is an image from the bathroom. I’ve used the wall vases in the past in a bathroom and they were perfect for this space too. This time is used a green grass to add a punch of color against the gray wall color. The numbered basket is perfect for holding hand towels. Photo by The Next Wave.
