Montecito Dreams Can Happen--Before
New construction of a custom home creates an opportunity to tailor the interior design to a client’s lifestyle and taste, down to the last detail. Our clients wanted a single story with entire walls to open, so the great room and extensive patio become one. Contemporary style combined with plenty of warm wood tones and color to create the inviting and comfortable space they dreamed of.

Elegant Glam of a Parisian Salon--Before
Our biggest challenge for this living room was to transform it into a space that was many things—chic, elegant, functional and dramatic with an ethereal feel of a Parisian salon. Subtle gold paint on the ceiling, soft upholstery lines, vivid pillows and occasional seating had a backdrop of inventive casegoods. Shimmering sheer window treatments softened the walls and added high drama!

Let There be Light in Westlake Village!--Before
Everything about this dining room was dreary before we began. Minus the shutters, our custom window treatments with acrylic hardware brought in natural light. A stunning ceiling detail and lighter paint added airiness and drama, to contrast well with the color accents, all reflected in the etched, framed mirror. A butler’s pantry became a wine cellar to suite the homeowners’ love of good wine and entertaining.

Bring the Outside In in Westlake Village--Before
Ochre colored walls and small windows blocked by bamboo just outside made this Westlake Village living room oppressive and uninviting. The bamboo was removed and the windows were replaced with a full wall of sliding doors and custom, automated window treatments to open up the space. The ceiling detail molding and custom furnishings transformed this room to spectacular!

Combined Family Room & Covered Patio, Pure CA Living!--Before
We opened up this Westlake Village family room and added square footage, without a costly addition. The small windows and single passage door were removed to add 17 feet of sliding doors, for a unique way to entertain well. Motorized linen ripplefold window treatments are a lush backdrop for the sectional, while accessories and art in blues, citron and taupe create a peaceful ambiance.

Rancho Palos Verdes Contemporary Living Room--Before

Stately Foyer in Rancho Palos Verdes--Before
Every detail was thoughtfully planned for this dramatic foyer: the ceiling molding was our clients’ favorite element from a Showcase family room we did in 2013, so we incorporated a similar pattern for drama. Our custom upholstery bench is exquisite, down to the gold pin striping on the edges. Aligned with the doorway, dramatic wallpaper, a console, fine lamps and art are an invitation to enter this lovely home.

Dreary Transforms Into Light and Bright--Before
Our biggest challenge in this project was to transform a dreary, dark room into a light, bright and cheerful space that would welcome one person or a large gathering. The overabundance of wood in the room was balanced with fabric, stone, iron, crystal and an over scaled custom rug. To avoid looking overly formal, our 12’ custom sofa is two chaise lounge chairs—yes, you’re allowed to put up your feet!

Play Up Your Assets in this Grand Salon--Before
It’s so important to make a large space feel inviting and comfortable, rather than overly formal. To accomplish that, we created four vignettes within this large space. We placed tete a tete chairs in front of the fireplace, perfect for quiet conversation, as each person is angled toward the other. The partners’ desk in front of the window is also a cozy spot to catch up on one’s correspondence.

Enjoy What You Love, Contemporary Billiard Room--Before
Our clients in Westlake Village, CA preferred a billiard room over a traditional living room, and we were inspired to create a gathering space that could welcome dozens of people if needed, but would still be comfortable for a fun-loving family. The fireplace wall is an artistic focal point, our comfortable lounge chairs swivel for billiard enthusiasts or for a cozy spot by the fire and the patio furniture is invitingly situated for both the billiard room and pool.

A Gathering to be Remembered--Before
Enjoyment of a meal in this dining room is a meal to be remembered, with the round custom dining table to seat eight, complete with a center lazy susan for easy serving. Round tables are so much more conducive to easy conversation, and views all around are exquisite: the stunning wine cellar, the patio and pool beyond, the billiard room or the bar cabinet and cozy family room.

Warm, Montecito Mission Style--Before
The fireplace was out of proportion in this Montecito living room, and the built-in cabinets were unattractive, took up too much space and were outdated for today’s audio technology. We redesigned the fireplace, removed the built-ins and plantation shutters that hid dramatic windows, added new flooring and darkened up the ceiling and beams. Our window treatments, furnishings and lighting are pretty spectacular too!

Montecito Master Retreat--Before
A quiet master bedroom with a spa-like feeling was created with linen bedding in neutral tones and textures. We love the texture of the side chests, the hand knotted rug and the fabrics. Our cozy seating area near the fireplace offers a quiet retreat for reading or conversation. Dramatic color from the art added a nice pop, as did the sculptural iron base of the lamp in the seating area.

Yes, the Stairway Does Matter!--Before
This Montecito home was renovated to create a rich, comfortable setting. The drywall stairway, adjacent to the dining room, was a non-event and blocked in the space. We opened the area up with an iron rail and covered the stairway, treads and far wall in beautiful grey/beige/blue stone. Custom iron fixtures cast light up and down the stone wall and comfortable seating welcomes one to sit and sip a glass of wine.

Make a Powder Room Sing!--Before
Inspiration for this dramatic powder room came from the lake setting—we imagined high drama, and found a combination of 2 stones for texture and movement. The simple, floating, built-in vanity has accent lighting underneath. The blue vessel sink compliments the water concept and is our accent color in the nearby great room. Simple lines can speak volumes…

When You Can't Walk Into a a Room You Don't Use It--Before
Jason and Kathy felt they couldn’t entertain in their spacious living room, because it was not in their taste, the furniture placement was awkward and seating was limited. Surprisingly, the piano was only an accessory, as nobody in their family played. Plenty of comfortable seating, sophisticated window treatments and a well-developed space plan made our clients so happy with their room.

Centered and with a more significant fireplace surround and mantle made the room much more comfortable for seating and aesthetics. Dramatic window treatments visually enlarged the room and softened the setting.

Retreat to the Master Suite--Before
The master bedroom was small by today’s standards in this 100-year old home. With imagination and movement of some walls, we created a backdrop wall for the bed area and doorways to enter from either side. In lieu of a 4-poster bed, we designed iron corners that attached to the ceiling and anchored bed draperies to visually raise the ceiling. The historic windows were enhanced with our clever window treatments that maximized light. Cozy seating near the renovated fireplace makes this space a retreat that welcomes one in.

Bath of the Year 2014, Awarded by the MIA--Before
The master suite in this 1915 estate in Pasadena featured two very dated combination bath/closet spaces. We consolidated functionality and created one walk-in closet and one bath. An arch was added to the ceiling over the free-standing tub to add much-needed height to the bath. Spectacular tile, heated floors, dramatic custom window treatments and deep toned marble countertops created a place for pampering.

Yes, Simple and Dramatic Go Together--Before
Our clients loved their dining table for its simplicity and reclaimed wood look, but the room was a bit stark and plain. Yes, you can have both softness and drama, and our sheer window treatments did just that. The iron chandelier and mirror added some sculptural appeal for our art-loving clients and our side chairs added interesting detail and were a contrast with the table.

Oxnard Beach House Family Room--Before
This charming beach house had not been renovated since it was built in the mid 1960’s. The new owners wanted this second home to be comfortable, casual and beach themed for family and friends. Our design created a happy, peaceful retreat for all and allowed the family room to flow well between the kitchen/dining areas, the patio and the beach. We think the window treatments play up that view!

We love a square table when it fits the space; everyone can see each other well and talk. This dining area lent itself well to a square, casual, high top table with stools—better able to see the beach and ocean! Washed wood, grey tones, the ceiling planks and shell details all contribute to the feeling of the ocean and pier, and created a restful space for instant vacation mode

Two rooms with different ceiling heights became one after demolition, with subtle recessed lighting at the transition.
