Behind The Scenes: The Design Life
Today we’re talking about ALL things behind-the-scenes here in the CFD studio! As a team of creatives, there is never a dull moment and we’ve got all the latest happenings and going-ons to share. From new team members to a whole new website(!), we have so much to reveal and can’t wait to fill you in on the fun. 2023 is just around the corner, so join us as we recap the past year, welcome new changes, and bring you up to speed on our design life; behind the scenes!
Design Impact | Kitchen Renovation
A total kitchen renovation can completely change the feel of an entire home. When it comes to big design impact and high-function spaces, kitchen design can be that perfect sweet spot for making the most of your time and budget. And as designers, creating a complete transformation within an existing footprint brings in that good ole’ design challenge that you know we love to love here at CFD.
Behind the Scenes: Custom Home Design
Today we’re here talking ALL things custom-designed homes! Building a dream home from the ground up is an incredible process, and we are so fortunate to get to be part of this journey with our clients. For some, it’s about that perfect space they’ve been dreaming about for years, and for others, it’s about having a beautiful house that fits every need, created just for them.
La Vita Dolce Part 3 - The Final Reveal
YES, the final reveal is here, and it's love at first sip for this gorgeous Chapel Hill coffee house design. We're so glad you've been enjoying these posts, and if you're catching up on this series, we've been taking a tour of the one and only La Vita Dolce Cafe at Southern Village (see Part 1 and Part 2 here!). This beautiful complete interior redesign was a collaboration of CFD and amazing local entrepreneur Annie Johnston. Along with a team of superhero industry pros, we brought vision, life, and all the chic vibes to this beloved Chapel Hill spot. Today we're going to dig into more behind-the-design challenges and solutions, design strategy, and all the details that made it picture perfect. So let's clink those cappuccinos and make our way to the final design finish.
Follow us to Great Design! The Master Design Plan
The Master Design Plan! It's also known as the magical playbook we create to turn vision into reality here in CFD-land. If you've been reading along for a bit, you've seen our series called 'Follow Us to Great Design!, where we're sharing a bit about what we do (see part I here!). We've gotten so many requests for this post, and our whole team is excited to dive in with tons of insight into what the Master Plan is and why it matters- and most importantly, how it can help you turn your new build or addition into a true custom space.
