We originally designed and built our traditional style home in the countryside of Valley Center in 1996 which was in much need of updating–envision rich deep traditional colonial style cherry wood. Phase 1 entailed an update to the master bedroom, en suite, and kids’ bathroom. We wanted to keep the basic footprints, but revive each space and give it a special and elevated feel. Fiona was great. She spent the time to really get to know us personally, how we envisioned living in the spaces, and our natural design leanings. She immediately picked up on the fact that my husband and I naturally gravitate toward a mix of vintage, traditional and industrial. Her first concept design and sample custom vintage accent tile and color palette were on point and set us on our way. We continued to collaborate on materials, fixtures, and cabinetry. She introduced us to amazing vendors that were equally helpful with great products and service! My husband is a structural engineer, so her impeccable records of the design concept and materials specs as well as her proactive communication was greatly appreciated. We are extremely happy with the outcome of our Master Suite and the kid’s bathroom. Better than we envisioned! > > With Phase 1 completed in early spring 2020, we engaged Fiona again to help guide us through the biggest phase of our remodel. The downstairs living spaces. At first, we thought we would keep the footprint the same and just update materials. Fiona was patient with us, came up with a great 1st design concept with our self-imposed footprint constraints, but as my husband and I marinated in the ideas, envisioned life in a few years with our adult kids and eventually grandchildren visiting, we came to the conclusion we needed to change the footprint of the family and kitchen space to create an open-space concept with more light and better flow. This required moving a structural load-bearing wall and raising a floor. Fortunately, we had the structural engineer/designer of our home on staff . Fiona once again worked her magic to collaborate with us to modify the design concept for these spaces. Having such a great experience with her recommended vendors during phase 1, we called on them again. We completed construction and moved back into our downstairs spaces in 2021 which involved creating an open space family room and dream kitchen combo with a giant peninsula and island providing ample cabinets and counter space to cook and entertain. We also updated the powder room and lighting in the foyer and dining room and updated the staircase. We are thrilled with the outcome! The design is cohesive throughout. Opening up the family and kitchen space expanded our views and brightened the entire house, even more than we expected. Fiona has been so fun and easy to work with. Highly recommend her! **Comment from FDK Design:** > Thank you so much, Tammy and Jim. I have loved seeing the evolution of your home and how it has changed from Day One. I appreciate your vision and your attention to detail, not to mention your trust and confidence in my work. It was a wonderful collaboration and the end result was fantastic! **★★★★★ — Erica Burk, June 2021** > I recently had the pleasure of working with Fiona at FDK Design on a kitchen and family room remodel. She did an amazing job proposing a beautiful concept encompassing the essence of our vision, helped in selecting materials/vendors and provided guidance on how to move the project along step-by-step. Fiona is extremely talented, creative and has a wonderful eye when it comes to mixing style with functionality. I was so impressed with her efficiency, professionalism, and her ability to make a super-complicated renovation process incredibly simple. She was there for us every step of the way. I always felt important and a priority; she never let us down. At the end, our new home is better than we could have ever imagined. We love it! We feel truly privileged to have been able to have her design our living space. I highly recommend working with Fiona for all your future design needs. **Comment from FDK Design:** > Erica, It was fantastic to work with you! I appreciate how you were so open to new ideas, which translated into a fresh and fun kitchen and family room. You were a great partner in the design process. Many, many thanks. **★★★★★ — Terrence Schalow, June 2021** > We've had the good fortune to work with Fiona on a major remodel project, and are currently working with her on an addition. Both experiences have been fantastic. Fiona's easy working style, her vision for our space, and timely delivery of designs made the process smooth and enjoyable. We particluarly appreciate Fiona's approach to the initial design process, where she takes the time to sit down and learn more about her clients' design style, with any eye on the budget. Our first project turned our home into the space we had dreamed about, and we have no doubt that that our second go-round with Fiona will be equally satisfying. **Comment from FDK Design:** > Thank you so much for your review. You and Michelle were a pleasure to work with. The transformation of your home was amazing and I can't wait to see the next phase completed! **★★★★★ — Amy, June 2021** > Fiona has designed multiple remodels for us and is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend for any of your remodeling needs...both interior as well as exterior ;) > > Our first experience with Fiona was in 2015 when we remodeled a house we inherited. We gutted the entire home and Fiona's design plans were impeccable. She walked us through every step of the process. We were on a tight budget and she was able to find us budget friendly materials but then find those 'special' pieces that would make it look more expensive. > > Our next endeavor in 2018 was our primary residence. We were ready to tackle the kitchen and downstairs...I knew immediately that we needed to contact Fiona again. Fiona's consult with us on this project was eye opening as she provided insights to us that we had never thought of in terms of scale and size of the adjacent rooms. We found ourselves doing far more than we had initially thought about but she was so right about it all...we now have our dream kitchen, living room, dining all in one open concept floorplan...great for our large family gatherings and entertaining! > > Our latest remodel was during Covid in 2020. We took an oversized room upstairs and created a bedroom, laundry and hallway as well as replaced the flooring. At the same time we were completing this renovation we were working on our front and backyard. Fiona again was contacted for the upstairs...I had general idea of what I wanted but Fiona's eye for design and attention to details brought it to life. What I didn't realize was that as we were discussing some of the interior we got to speaking about the exterior (pavers, outdoor furniture, etc.)...come to find out she does it all :) She helped us pick out all the elements we needed to make the exterior of our home beautiful as well. > > All of our renovations with Fiona have turned out amazing and we couldn't be happier! Her professionalism, design ideas, attention to detail for both us and our contractors...you name it, Fiona is the best! **Comment from FDK Design:** > Amy, It was an absolute pleasure to work with you on all of your projects. You were so trusting, open and excited about the whole process. It was fantastic to seethe evolution all the way from the space planning to the accessorizing. I appreciate your support of my work more than you could know! **★★★★★ — BRIAN, Jan. 2019** > I am beyond pleased with the renovations Fiona helped designed for us. The changes she suggested for our flooring, draperies, paint and lighting made such a huge difference! I can’t wait to have her give me more advice on sprucing up my decor . **Comment from FDK Design:** > Thank you. I'm so happy that you are enjoying your beautiful spaces. I'm looking forward to working with you again! **★★★★★ — Katherine Gomez, Oct. 2018** > Fiona at FDK Design has an amazing eye for design and color. We used Fiona’s expertise to remodel our kitchen. She was knowledgeable, professional and patient as we went through the design process. There are so many design opinions and options to choose from when remodeling which can at times steer your project in a different direction. But Fiona gently guides and keeps you on track so the results reflect what you truly wanted for your kitchen, or home. Thanks to Fiona, I absolutely love my new kitchen. Fiona is cheerful and easy to work with, She responds quickly to questions and concerns and makes herself available when you need her. I continue to use Fiona for other design needs and would highly recommend using her for any design project. **Comment from FDK Design:** > Thank you so much for the lovely review and allowing me to help you design the kitchen you hoped for. It's been wonderful to see all elements come together to reflect your taste and style! **★★★★★ — dlbarkell, Oct. 2018** > Fiona designed our master bathroom, and helped us select carpet for our bedrooms. She is very professional, and extremely patient and tactful (my ideas were horrible and hers were excellent). She is well respected among the trade industry, and her contacts/resources saved us money. We are very happy with the final results. Thank you, Fiona! **Comment from FDK Design:** > It was my pleasure to help you design your master bathroom. What a bright, fresh and luxurious space it has become! Thank you so much for your kind words. **★★★★★ — M&M Erickson, Aug. 2018** > We’ve hired Fiona for design and remodel help for two projects in the last 18 months. The first was a family room remodel which included fireplace and tv built in work . The second was a guest bathroom remodel. In both cases, Fiona’s vision and creativity were amazing!! She has a unique talent for working with clients and creating concepts. Can’t wait to work with her again in the future! > > -M&M **Comment from FDK Design:** > It has been fun working with you. Thank you so much for the kind feedback and the great photos. I can't wait to start on the casita! **★★★★★ — Kristine Jackson, Jan. 2018** > Fiona listens, and is so wonderful about the tailoring the project to your time, budget and taste. Truly a professional and so fun, generous and flexible! She is also able to manage a remodel, and be the person to hold the contractor accountable, which was a huge help in our case. **Comment from FDK Design:** > A fun project for fun clients - what more could I ask for! I love how you embraced color and new ideas. Thank you for your kind words. **★★★★★ — reenadayal, Jan. 2018** > Loved loved working with Fiona! She read our vision right away and gave amazing ideas.. our home turned out beautiful! **Comment from FDK Design:** > Thank you for allowing me to help you with your kitchen remodel. I'm so pleased with the results! **★★★★★ — MIguel Contreras, Jan. 2018** > When my wife and I decided to gut our house with some idea of what direction we wanted to got, but didn't have a true plan or vision, we felt lost and seriously overwhelmed. This is when we hired Fiona! She came in just as our home had been completely gutted and we had a short timeline to get the rehab started. She was quick to respond and never became frustated nor overwhelmed. She has a phenomenal talent for use of space and gave us some stylish, yet functional ideas that allowed us to expand our master bath and add a powder room, which we hadn't thought off, and were sheer genius on her part. Those creative ideas made the spaces much more compelling and did NOT obliterate our budget. She's patient, observant and a phenomenal listener. We felt that she truly "Got Us" and could really speak our language. We knew we wanted to do a mid-century modern remodel, but often didn't know how to voice or describe what we wanted, but she always nailed it! She was able to bring my wife's and my ideas together to create a space that we love and will cherish for many years to come. When it comes to product selection, she's the best! She know where to go and who to speak with, eliminates the fluff at gets you exactly what you are looking for. Working with Fiona felt as if we were working with a true artist, a visionary with passion for her craft! The best part about working with her is that you really feel that she is working to manifest your vision for your home, rather than pushing her personal style or vision. She is flexible with her time and 100% attentive. We loved what she did so much for us and our home that I had her design my office ; my employees love their new hip place and my clients are always impressed and comment about how chic the space looks and feels! Fiona is an incredibly talented, creative, assertive and artistic designer! **Comment from FDK Design:** > It was such an enjoyable experience working with you both. You have a great sense of what you like and were so open and welcoming to new ideas. The project was a fantastic collaboration and a lot of fun. I really am touched by your thoughtful and detailed review. Thanks for allowing me design your commercial office also. It was a great opportunity for me to try something new. I can't wait to help with your next endeavor! **★★★★★ — Rancho Santa Fe Craftsman, Sept. 2017** > I was the GC on the Del Sur Customization Project that Fiona designed. We didn't have the opportunity to interact much on this project because my client and Fiona already had the Design and selections in the bag. I do know that my client was thrilled to work with her and my client loves the finish result. > > Fiona's very well detailed plans and elevations looked fantastic. Her measurements and details were exact which makes my job so much easier. The finish material selections that she made were cohesive and beautiful. The space planning was thoughtfully created. She created an original design that fit the space perfectly and was full of timeless style but yet comfortable, approachable and livable. > We look forward to collaborating with her on future projects!! > > Greg Rossignol > Rancho Santa Fe Craftsman **Comment from FDK Design:** > Rancho Santa Fe Craftsman executed the design of this Master Bath and Pool Bath remodel with precision and attention to detail. They took the plans and specifications and brought them to life. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to work together to help many more clients achieve their remodeling visions. ## Selected projects - [Fresh Modern Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fresh-modern-bathroom-pj-vj~6833368) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Fresh & Fun Take on Traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fresh-and-fun-take-on-traditional-pj-vj~5320554) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 23 - Description: This kitchen is the heart of a very busy household - a couple with three young kids who gather frequently with friends and family in this space. They work from a home office, so it also serves as the place where they take a break in the middle of their workday. It was a typical product of the 1990s: maple cabinets, maple floors, maple plantation shutters, black granite counter tops, burgundy walls. It was dark, cramped - not at all welcoming or inspiring.

What it had going for it was a wonderful pie-shaped lot at the end of a cul-de-sac. The private, terraced yard looks over a large park and hills in the distance. The living and dining room had huge picture windows and a low pitched ceiling which became the inspiration for the mid-century modern renovation. The whole house was remodeled: some of the rooms were reconfigured to maximize flow and function.

One of the clients’ challenge was that the home has to accommodate three children and a part-time live in nanny, but only had two full baths. That meant that the children and nanny shared a bathroom with guests and visitors. They were desperate for a powder room. There was no space in the living, dining and kitchen part of the home, but there was a piece that could be carved out of the ba… - [Bright & Bold Beach Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bright-and-bold-beach-condo-pj-vj~3117866) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Spa Inspired Master Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spa-inspired-master-bathroom-pj-vj~2293334) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 14 - Description: This busy couple with three active children dreamed of a master suite where they could find some rest, relaxation and order. Their bathroom was dated, dark and felt small and awkward. The dark marble finishes made it difficult to maintain. Closet space was so poorly configured that they needed an extra clothes rail within the master bedroom to accommodate their hanging clothing and shoes. It was becoming a little overwhelming…..definitely not a space that was a place to retreat to. We stole some… - [Award winning - "San Barbara" Style - Rancho Bernardo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/award-winning-san-barbara-style-rancho-bernardo-pj-vj~1329771) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 14 - Description: Winner of National Kitchen and Bath Association's Large Kitchen 2016. With two growing children and two large dogs, these clients definitely needed more space. The home’s interior was feeling tired and outdated. They wanted a space that reflected their love of the “Santa Barbara” style; a combination of Old California and Southern Spain, with a Moorish influence. They seriously considered moving, but could not find a house in their neighborhood that suited them. So they bit the bullet and decide… - [Award Winning Kitchen - Mission Hills](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/award-winning-kitchen-mission-hills-pj-vj~426098) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 11 - Description: National Kitchen and Bath Association- Best Small/Medium Kitchen Award - 2014 This eighty year old Craftsman cottage needed an overhaul to make it bright, functional and beautiful for its new homeowners.

Everything about the new spaces reflects their love of the Spanish Colonial Revival style found in many parts of Southern California. Key elements include white, thick plaster/stucco walls, arches and columns.

Modest homes on neat streets gave veterans a chance to live the American Dream of owning their own homes and raising families. The neighborhood of Crown Point in Mission Bay is a typical example. The clients bought a home built in 1950 just a block from the beaches, bay and boardwalk. It's the perfect spot for outdoor living: walking, running, biking and all kinds of water sports. But indoor living… - [Del Sur Customization](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/del-sur-customization-pj-vj~2685179) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 13 - Description: Sometimes a home is in wonderful condition and is relatively new, but it does not suit the personality of the owner. It doesn't warrant tearing everything out and starting over.....so what can be done? With some careful thought and planning, a redesign can make the most of what exists and add details to create a unique and customized bathroom that has plenty of charm. This master suite had a long vanity with the standard mirrors and light fixtures above.

But who says those hard working areas can’t be beautiful? Maybe if they were, doing the laundry would be more fun! Well…..we can always dream. The mud room of this home is a perfect spot to sit on the bench to change shoes, to store bags, backpacks and jackets: all of the things we don’t want to see hanging around the house. The bathroom just off the mudroom is long and narrow. It’s used not onl… - [Vintage Addition - Mission Hills](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vintage-addition-mission-hills-pj-vj~426107) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: This small one hundred-year-old home was typical of its era in that it had only one bathroom. There was a possibility of extending 7 ½ feet out to the side of the house adjacent to the master bedroom so the homeowners decided to take advantage of this. The challenge was to create a beautiful bathroom with a separate toilet room, double sinks, plenty of storage and a comfortable shower. They wanted it to be bright and open, but needed to maintain privacy from the neighbors. All of this was to be… - [Casual Elegance - Scripps Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/casual-elegance-scripps-ranch-pj-vj~1391386) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: At the top of the clients’ wish list was their need for more space. They have a very active family of three children and love to entertain. The original kitchen of their Scripps Ranch home was not conducive to their busy lifestyle. By building out to the back and side of the home, a spacious family room and kitchen was created. They also gained an office/workout room. Large new French doors opened onto the west facing backyard creating a vista which can be seen as soon you enter the front door.… - [Urban Sophistication - Pacific Beach](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-sophistication-pacific-beach-pj-vj~426113) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 11 - Description: Although it’s only a few years old, this condo needed a little bit of sophistication and an infusion of color. Its light cabinets with yellow undertones and granite counter tops were in good shape, so we couldn’t justify changing them…..which meant working with them. So the color scheme called for some grey tones to cool them down. The grey/brown tile plank flooring does that – plus it’s hardy. Aqua blue and plenty of white is a good compliment to the yellows to create a fresh, airy feeling. The… - [Windansea Beach Condominium](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/windansea-beach-condominium-pj-vj~1601354) - Location: La Jolla, CA - Photos: 13 - Description: This beach rental property is yards away from a surfers’ favorite: Windansea Beach in La Jolla, California. We didn’t have to go too far for inspiration. We just had to step outside the door and look down the street! The client loves the blue-green color of the waves as they break, so we used that color throughout. The hardy grey driftwood-style plank floor tile is a perfect surface for beach goers who rent this . By adding details such as grey pebble tile in the showers, reclaimed wood for the… - [Coastal Condo - Mission Beach](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-condo-mission-beach-pj-vj~426122) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 8 - Description: The condo at the beach is all about comfort and relaxation, with a touch of luxury. It has a classic, but contemporary vibe. The main living and dining areas are decorated in calm neutral tones. All of the color in the space is found in the artwork and accessories such as pillows and dishware. That way a new color scheme can easily be introduced if the homeowners decide they would like a change. New patio furniture and accessories in a vibrant green color give the main deck a resort feel.

Can you please share the name/specifics of the wallpaper please. A: Thank you so much. It was a cool effect. That is Tile from Akdo. Best to have tiled in an area where there’s so much water. **Q: where can I get those 2 figurines that holes the towels** *(in Photo Questions)* Would like them in chron A: The homeowners found these and wanted to use them so I don’t have the source. I have seen them in stores that sell cabinet hardware. Maybe a store like that in your area could find them for you. They did not come in chrome, mostly aged finishes and iron. Good luck. **Q: Love the Vanity and towel holders - who makes them?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: They are from Soko Manhandles **Q: Too much beige** *(in Design Dilemma)* My wife and I purchased our home last year and need some interior design advise regarding upgrades and colors. Our house has really high ceilings and many walls in which we could something with. We've added some touch ups (new kitchen backsplash white subway tiles to move away from the beige and Browns) but we are unsure where to take it next. My thoughts are that we need some textured accent walls and some molding. Thanks. A: Great bones....now you need some character and richness. Some nice wool rugs with an accent color (Pottery Barn) works well. Some pillows and accessories to repeat those accents (Home Goods). Scale is important. A few large items, rather than many small. Check this out... **Q: Another backsplash dilemma question** *(in Design Dilemma)* I got some great advice on tile to use for my backsplash. I think I am going with a simple cream ceramic, either subway tile or 4x4 on a diagonal. My question is what it will look like under my counter top. There is only 4-1/2 inches in this space and I don't know how tile placement will look. I was considering a 3x6 inch subway tile. Any pics you can share with a similar situation? A: How about something like this? Its a 6"X6" honed crema marfil, 1"X1" mosaic and honed crema marfil subway. Something different? --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
