With the goal of creating an accessible and comfortable space for an aging couple, Neil Kelly’s design team created a more efficient layout, raised the vanity countertops, added storage, improved the lighting and more.
The beauty of the natural world provides great design inspiration. This nature-loving Bend family wanted to create an outdoor space to better enjoy their spectacular river view.
Portland Designer Fabian Genovesi had the pleasure of collaborating with a Cedar Mill couple who had a clear vision for how to transform their entire daylight basement into a one-of-a-kind entertainment space.
Neil Kelly transformed this Bend “builder-blah” kitchen into a completely custom “true cook’s kitchen,” with touches of elegance visible throughout.
When they asked for a unique kitchen that was not the trendy grey or white palette, this Portland area client got a space filled with color and personality.
Creative solutions – and gorgeous colors – are on display in this kitchen and bathroom remodeling project in a 1924 home in Portland’s Alberta neighborhood.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
