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.

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.

Rancho Palos Verdes Contemporary Living Room--Before
Our relationship with this lovely couple from Rancho Palos Verdes began when they fell in love with our ceiling detail in a Showcase family room we did in 2013. When they finally got their dream home in 2017, we designed this living room to suit their request that it look contemporary and on the level of Showcase grandeur, with elegance and comfort. They were so pleased with this result!

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proportion in this Montecito living room, and the built-in cabinets were unattractive, took up too much space and were outdated for today’s audio technology.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!

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.

Traditional Interiors Blended with Singapore Treasures--Before
These wonderful clients worked in Singapore for years and collected furniture pieces that became dear to them. When they returned to the states and settled in Westlake Village, they wanted a traditional style that embraced their treasures and offered a comfortable lifestyle. Their living room is now perfect for entertaining, and will be their music room as well, with a variety of instruments that they love to play.

On the Island in Westlake, Family Room--Before
Our homeowners’ priorities were to maximize the view and create a comfortable, casual home conducive to entertaining on the lake. When we began, nearly everything was white and they were unsure how to introduce color and accomplish their priorities. With careful space planning and incorporation of our clients’ love of life on the lake, we were able to add warmth, comfort and maximize functionality.

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!

Lake Sherwood Living Room--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.
