This Cincinnati home was painted a deep shade of charcoal gray with pure white trim for strong contrast, with pops of aqua and red for a fresh, urban look.

The updated stairwell leads upstairs to three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry closet.

The whitewashed wood floors are actually porcelain tiles that can handle daily use and won’t warp or discolor from water while still retaining the look of wood.

This view from the hallway into the green-and-white guest bedroom shows the impressive view that greets guests lucky enough to be staying in this comfortable and contemporary space.

While not especially wide, the smart use of color and larger scale furniture in combination with the vaulted ceiling makes this smaller of the two guest bedrooms feel as open and airy as possible.

A spacious double vanity sprayed in a high gloss shade of aqua and a walk-in shower with an integrated seat are two of the main components of this reimagined guest bathroom. "The upstairs bathroom before had no natural light and felt like a cave," says project manager Dan Faires.

The large outdoor deck and pergola anchor the backyard space and dramatically expands the year-round living space of this home.

The large outdoor deck is painted a dark charcoal color that subtly separates it from the home’s charcoal exterior. Wrapping the beams of the pergola in climbing vines adds a botanical transition from the outdoor living area to the adjacent yard.

The garage pops with dual red doors that play off the red accessories and furniture found on the deck to give the backyard a complete, cohesive design.

A modern lounge space is centered under a trio of pendant lights in this converted double-car garage. Modern gray sofas and matching wood coffee tables creates plenty of room to relax and connect with friends and family.

A second concrete dining table in the yard adds additional space for entertaining a friends and family. Using galvanized metal bistro chairs in red that match the ones found on the deck with a table that also echoes the styles found there gives visual continuity to the entire design of the outdoor living area.
