DIGS Participates in Design With A Heart

NLFB Party For The House
We want to take a moment to share with you an organization that we here at DIGS are passionate about and support. For the last two years, DIGS has had the opportunity to work alongside New Life Furniture Bank through their Design With A Heart program. Last year, Brian Gibson was able to participate in the program, and this year, Christine Kommer has helped Charlie and her family make a house into a home.

As the only furniture bank serving Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky communities, New Life Furniture Bank’s services are critical to the human service agencies they serve, and the families who depend on them to provide beds for their children, a table to eat at, and a sofa to gather around. Last year, 890 homes were furnished. This year, their goal is over 1,000. 
Christine Kommer takes notes at client Charlie's home
Each year, NLFB hosts a wonderful fundraising gala, Party In The House. In the best interest of public health and safety, they have opted to instead "party FOR the house" with a special four-day virtual giving campaign. 

No ticket purchase required, no Zoom virtual event to attend, no babysitter needed... just a donation (any amount is appreciated) to support the work of this outstanding organization. You can make a DONATION here. 

You are also invited to follow the special four-day giving campaign from November 10th–13th and see the results of this year’s Design With A Heart projects. The hope is that you will GIVE to support the work and mission of New Life Furniture Bank in making a house a home for our neighbors in need. 

Follow the campaign on NLFB's Facebook or Instagram and see the designers’ reveals. Christine's design makeover of Charlie's home will be featured on Friday, November 13th. 

A Modern Urban Oasis in Hyde Park

An urban oasis in Hyde Park features a wall of windows and a two-way fireplace in the great room.
This gorgeous Hyde Park urban oasis sits nestled in a world of its own. Surrounded by trees, this specially curated home is the perfect getaway, every day.

DIGS did a complete renovation of this home, from construction of a brand new kitchen (with a bonus dirty kitchen) to all new bathrooms and living spaces designed. Highlighted here is the great room, which features a gorgeously designed fireplace that separates the great room from the dining room and kitchen. The two-story wall of windows allows natural light to fill the space from the second floor main entry down to this room of relaxation. An urban oasis in Hyde Park with the entry way overlooking the great room and a wall of windows.

Our client recently moved, allowing a new owner to come in and enjoy this beautiful retreat. Read more about the home HERE.

A High End Closet for a High-in-the-Sky Condo

Custom bookshelf
We are currently finishing up a high end closet project at a client's home in East Walnut Hills. The end product is a beautifully crafted custom closet and bookshelf. We are also providing new wall coverings and paint throughout.

Interior Designer John Harrison helped our clients select high end custom finishes, including closet hardware from Cincinnati's own Bona Decorative Hardware, ceiling lights from Visual Comfort, and specialty lighting from Juniper. We had the closet cabinets and bookshelf custom made based on our client's needs.

This week we are hanging Philip Gorrivan wallpaper in the foyer. We were able to snap some finished shots of the closet and bookshelf to share with you.

A Hyde Park Dream Galley Kitchen

Kommer Kitchen Design1
A recently completed kitchen and dining room design project by DIGS' Interior Design Christine Kommer sits pretty and bright in Hyde Park. No detail was overlooked, from every finish to the artwork and rug selection. This on-the-go family went from a closed off, low-functioning kitchen to a bright and airy galley kitchen that has them in love with cooking again.

Finishes include tile from Fireclay, area rug from Fazel Rug Gallery, chandelier from Currey & Co., lights over sink from Visual Comfort, a custom built range hood from Cincinnati's own Radius Concepts, and a Kohler sink.

The Ultimate Guide to Paint Finishes

Let Elle Decor put your mind at ease when it comes to all things interior paint HERE. Decisions on color, paint base, and finish can have a major impact on your interior design. These things set the mood for your room.

Take into consideration how you want your walls to function for the room you're designing. Will they need to be washed often? How much natural light will you get? What will the rest of your room decor and finishes be like?

Taking the time to do your research on these things ahead of your project (whether you're doing the painting or hiring professionals) will result in fewer mistakes, potential re-dos, and will have you relaxing in your freshly painted digs before you know it.

A West Village Remodel: Functional and Stylish

A Manhattan couple opted to settle down in the West Village where they had rented for years. Settling on a charming pre-war, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom co-op, they took on a major redesign.

Architectural Digest has featured their project, completed by interior designer Alexander Reid, who created just over 1,000 square feet of clean, contemporary spaces for the couple. “We wanted something that felt elevated but not overly designed. Alex’s style is a nice mix of elegant, warm, and modern, which fit our desire for a more masculine aesthetic.”

Reid's design aesthetic in this urban apartment feels familiar to design John Harrison of DIGS has created for clients in the past. Our team of designers can create fabulous spaces for you, no matter the size of the project.

Kitchen Trends of 2020

When it comes to remodeling our home, the kitchen seems to be the first thing on our minds, and rightfully so. Magic happens in the kitchen, providing nourishment, learning, and a space for gathering.

We gather inspiration from many places for kitchen layout and design, and Elle Decor has put together a beautiful collection HERE of 2020's top kitchen trends to fuel your renovation fire.

When you're ready, bring your ideas to our dedicated Design and Construction teams and let us give you the sophisticated kitchen of your dreams.

DIGS designed and constructed this expansive kitchen and butler's pantry for a client in Hyde Park.
