    #CLIENTBURBSTOTHEBROWNSTONE
    GALLERY
    For this townhouse project, we wanted to bring a bit of Texas countryside to a sunny, urban setting. We began by replacing the flooring with wide plank natural ash floors and the door into the laundry room with a vintage schoolhouse door we sourced at an architectural salvage shop. To give the space some character and architectural detail, we added wainscot and shiplap. In the kitchen, we went with bright white shaker-style cabinets and a farmhouse sink. We added loads of storage and countertop space to make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. We added a colorful backsplash and a pop of blue on the back wall as a nod to the coastal SoCal lifestyle.

    #SPANIFORNIADREAMIN
    GALLERY
    This home underwent a complete interior reconstruction and remodel. Our clients wanted a Spanish / early California feel and the views of the surrounding landscape (which we capitalized on with new large, efficient picture windows) created the perfect complement to that style. We focused a great amount of our attention on the kitchen, giving it a new layout and upgraded appliances. The new chef’s kitchen is ideal for entertaining and made even better by the accompanying wine cellar off the dining area and wrap-around bar. The homeowners are well-traveled and we were happy to give them the perfect space to display their collected souvenirs in built-in shelving surrounding a redesigned fireplace. There are so many special touches throughout this design and we were excited to see our clients thriving there.

    #BETTERTHANASPA
    GALLERY
    For these clients, we transformed the master bedroom and bathroom into an at-home retreat. The original bathroom was dark, narrow, and cramped. The vanity cabinets were the first thing to go as they were no longer structurally sound. The bathtub was long neglected and likewise unsafe. We reworked the layout, switching the tub and shower to give the clients a shower that can accommodate two. We added a freestanding tub was stone-faced wall and overhead pendant lighting. The result was a spa-like experience that they can unwind in every day. In the bedroom, we refreshed the two-sided fireplace, added lighting, and installed new art. We sourced new furniture and built in a coffee bar and wine fridge so that the homeowners could start and end their day slowly in their bedroom sanctuary.

    #MODERNKITCHENDREAMS
    GALLERY
    This home needed a modern upgrade for its builder basic kitchen. We began by moving the makeshift home office out of the laundry area and upstairs to the guest room, a better set-up for all parties involved. We then redesigned the layout to use the newfound space for a pantry, refrigerator, and added storage. We worked with a local shop to custom match all the cabinetry and added a dimensional white tile backsplash and waterfall counters. We carried the cabinetry and backsplash into the nearby powder room and added a built-in mirror and wall sconces. Another impactful change was flooring. We replaced the builder grade carpet with Dal Tile’s wood look tile in herringbone pattern for a dramatic transformation.

    #COLORUSHAPPY
    GALLERY
    This gorgeous ranch style home sits perched atop a bluff in North San Diego, giving it breathtaking views of both ocean and sweeping hills and valleys. The living room was an often-used lounging area but needed a refresh for functionality. A lack of lighting made reading and playing piano difficult for the homeowners past the morning hours. While the wood beam ceiling was lovely, there was no space between the interior ceiling and roofing to add lighting. With help from an electrician, we were able to find a creative solution. We integrated recessed LED lighting within the beams themselves for task lighting then hard-wired stylish (and functional) chandeliers in both the living and dining areas. The homeowners are avid art collectors, with the fireplace being a prime spot for display. We gave the original exterior brick a makeover with plaster and new glass doors, creating a much better complement for their contemporary home. Inspired by their collection, we added an area rug that resembles an impressionist’s palette. And with the newfound ability to read and enjoy the piano, we added new furnishings for all-day relaxation

    #COASTINGFORTHEWEEKEND
    GALLERY
    Our client worked in another part of the country and used this San Antonio condo as their weekend retreat. She wanted a low maintenance design and a color palette that reflected the nearby coastline. She chose to keep the floors, walnut hardwoods sourced from Texas; the rest of the home was fair game. We knocked out a wall between the kitchen and bar, opening the entry into the kitchen so that we could install a large island for weeknight dining and weekend entertaining. We added white frameless cabinets, two wine fridges, quartz countertops, and high-quality appliances for an upscale farmhouse kitchen. The showstopper of the dining area is the custom pendant over the table, made from oyster shells from the Gulf Coast and rock crystal. We created a tile mosaic fireplace wall with integrated television for an open and inviting living space that flows into the other entertaining spaces. We placed the owner's carefully curated art throughout the home. The master suite was designed with a more traditional feel, with rich wood tones and stone in the bath, along with lighter painted caseloads and linens to provide some balance.
