She truly gave me the spaces of my dreams! > > For the kitchen, I had shared some photos from a trip, simply mentioning how much I loved the history and feel of the place. I wasn't even thinking about capturing that specific trip, but Barbara completely surprised me. She took that organic inspiration and beautifully translated it into the perfect English manor dream kitchen. > > Beyond how stunning everything looks, the space is a joy to use. I am so genuinely happy cooking and living in it every single day. I cannot thank Barbara enough for her incredible vision and thoughtfulness! **Comment from Avec Interiors:** > Thank you. This is what every designer hopes for. It was also pleasure for me working with such an talented and creative person as yourself. You really understood the process which made it that much more enjoyable. Happy bread baking! **★★★★★ — Lori B, Aug. 2025** > Barbara asks and listens to what you want and tailors her design to your needs. Her plans are beautiful, and her assistance takes a lot of the pressure off your shoulders. **Comment from Avec Interiors:** > Thank you so much Lori it was a pleasure working with you and it really turned out lovely like you. **★★★★★ — 5blox Inc., Dec. 2024** > We have had the pleasure of working with Barbara Schwartz of Avec Interiors, and I can’t say enough about her talent as a designer. Barbara excels in strong project management, liaising with the customer and overcoming any challenges that arise. She’s incredibly organized, ensuring everything stays within budget and timeline while maintaining the highest standards. > > Her knowledge of design trends and materials is on point, working with the customer to ensure her designs incorporate modern trends but also timeless elements that make a space feel current and lasting. Her ability to reimagine an old outdated space and transform it, speaks for itself—she creates spaces that feel fresh, inviting, and tailored perfectly to the client. > > Working with Barbara is always a pleasure, and I look forward to many more projects together. **Comment from Avec Interiors:** > Thank you so much I really enjoyed working with you as well. Looking forward to working together again soon! **★★★★★ — molryan, June 2024** > Extremely knowledgable, professional, Barbara listens, asks questions and then delivers spectacular design ideas in keeping with our hopes and dreams. She has a great eye and we’re glad we listened to her! Helpful throughout the entire project, communicated daily with the contractor to maintain the flow after construction started. The whole process went smoothly and she kept us informed throughout. Barbara is a stickler for detail, environmental consciousness and simplicity. She took our living space to the next level. In the end, it looked like a brand new home. We’re still in awe and would recommend her for anyone ready to transform their home. **Comment from Avec Interiors:** > Thank you so much for the kind words. It was a pleasure working with you both. Everyone worked well together to get the project across the finished line. Your home really turned out sophiscated yet cozy and relaxed. I hope you will enjoyed it for years to come. **★★★★★ — Janet Miner, Feb. 2024** > I worked with Barbara Schwarz of Avec Interiors to completely gut and rebuild my primary bathroom with an updated, yet timeless design complementing 1920’s Spanish architecture, and I am so glad I found her. I had never hired a designer before and knew I needed professional help to successfully navigate this complex construction project. The final result was spectacular. > > Barbara really listened to me and delivered everything I asked for with skill and creative flair. I enjoyed collaborating with her on the journey from initial ideas, through creating detailed plans, and then navigating the construction process as the 2D plans became 3D reality. > > She solved significant space planning issues in the long and skinny space, presented beautiful tile, fixture and lightning options within my budget, and took the time to educate me about the process every step of the way. She’s a straight shooter and I recommend her wholeheartedly. **Comment from Avec Interiors:** > Thank you so much Janet for the kind words and praise. It was a pleasure working with you and I am so happy you love the design. I agree it really turned out beautifully. **★★★★★ — L T, March 2023** > Our exterior house painting is finally done! > We LOVE the colors you helped us to choose! Thanks again for your vision and color pallet expertise! I'm so glad to have hired you. :-) **Comment from Avec Interiors:** > Thank you so much. It was a real pleasure working with you. My primary goal with Avec Interiors is to make my clients happy with great design that fits their personalities! **★★★★★ — Daryl Haselton, June 2018** > Our family did an extensive home remodel this past year, and Barbara was recommended to us to help make designing choices (and overall vision!) easier. She was always helpful, listened to both our wishes and concerns, changed things when our two visions didn't align, and generally made the experience a pleasant one. She sourced excellent appliances, tiles, fixtures and a thousand other things and we couldn't be more pleased with how things turned out. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for expert design help. **★★★★★ — Interior Impressions, July 2017** > I have found Barbara to be extremely knowledgeable with valuable design experience to back up her work. She does an excellent job making sure each space is personal to the client. Her attention to detail shows clearly in her work. When I think of a designer who has the ability of combine warm, modern, and unique elements for a space, I think of Barbara. **★★★★★ — erin17lee, June 2014** > Barbara Schwarz designed my nine-year-old daughter's bedroom, turning the small, dull, overcrowded space into a KID'S PARADISE. Her innovative ideas miraculously turned the room into a place my child never wants to leave. The room now has a bright, creative and fun atmosphere with several areas for kids to play, read or hide out. The great thing about Barbara is that she took the time to listen to what my daughter had to say and let that inspire her. Barbara also gave us options, so we were a part of the creative process from start to finish. The results were phenomenal. **★★★★★ — Jacoby Company, Inc., May 2014** > Barbara is a designer we have been working with. After seeing Barbaras work, it is very clear that she is a designer who knows what she is doing! We are really impressed not only with her unique attention to detail and design but her organization and professionalism. Barbara is a great designer that we have loved working with!!! We would highly recommend her services for any remodel or design job. > -Team Jacoby **★★★★★ — C H, Jan. 2014** > We two found ourselves renovating an architecturally designed mid-century modern home. Through our contractor Alan Wedner we found Barbara and we are so glad we did as both our sensibilities were more traditional in scope. In other words we had no love or experience in the modern style. > Barbara guided us through every detail which, as we chose along the way became our own style. With Barbara's guidance and patience we were able to combine the eclectic with our new mid-century modern vision to create a beautiful new environment which is now our home. > Barbara helped us visualize each space by her beautiful drawings. Her attention to detail is amazing and her transparent billing for items is a big help for those on a budget. She also has great communication skills. > We definitely would use Barbara again but I think we are never going to move! **★★★★★ — alanwedner, Jan. 2014** > I was the general contractor on several of Barbara's jobs & was very impressed with her design work, coordination & organization of the project & her overall talent working both with the clients & the other trades. She was a pleasure to work with & handled the projects in a very timely & professional manner. > I will continue to recommend her to all of my clients who want the very best in an interior designer. > Sincerely, > Alan Wedner, General Contractor > Owner; California Design Team ## Selected projects - [California Casual Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/california-casual-project-pj-vj~7579837) - Location: Burbank, CA - Photos: 15 - Description: In the California Casual Project, we transformed the entrance, living room, and kitchen, blending modern and rustic elements to create a space that feels timeless yet contemporary.

Would you be able to share the brand of tile that is so I may order a sample to see if it's the match I need? Thank you ~Melissa A: Thank you Melissa. Marin 4" x 4" Ceramic Wall Tile in Aloe Green from Bedrosian.https://www.bedrosians.com/en/product/detail/marin-tile/?itemNo=100003165&queryid=7efd9cd7302d9092525b1cc3517dad8e **Q: I love the light fixtures!** *(in Photo Questions)* Any clue where I could find them? A: Hi, Thank you so much. The light fixtures are vintage. You could try sites like 1st Dibs or Charish you might be able to find something similar. **Q: what color paint are the blue kitchen cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the blue cabinets! A: Hi they are a custom color inspired by robins egg blues. **Q: Cabinet Colours:** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the colour of the lower cabinets? A: These cabinets are from Omega Cabinetry this is one of their colors named Pesto unfortunately they no longer have this color. If you are looking for something similar Farrow and Ball has a color called Vert de terre. no234. **Q: what is the cabinet color?** *(in Photo Questions)* What color are the lower cabinets? A: Hi Jared, These cabinets are from Omega Cabinetry and where chosen from their stock color ways unfortunately they no longer carry this color as a stock color which was called Pesto. The nearest they have currently would be Moho Bay or Rain. **Q: logic of putting this sink so close to the built ins.** *(in Photo Questions)* I am wondering why the sink was placed so close to the drawers so that you apparently can't open 2 of them. I am sure there were reasons why it was placed there instead of having the sink in middle of builtins. It is a lovely room. A: This was the original configuration. The client wanted to replace the old fixture but did not want to move the plumbing line. Also pulled out the tub and added a shower on the other side of the sink which is not in the photo. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-11.*
