The homeowners had just purchased this home in El Segundo and they had remodeled the kitchen and one of the bathrooms on their own. However, they had more work to do. They felt that the rest of the project was too big and complex to tackle on their own and so they retained us to take over where they left off. The main focus of the project was to create a master suite and take advantage of the rather large backyard as an extension of their home. They were looking to create a more fluid indoor outdoor space. When adding the new master suite leaving the ceilings vaulted along with French doors give the space a feeling of openness. The window seat was originally designed as an architectural feature for the exterior but turned out to be a benefit to the interior! They wanted a spa feel for their master bathroom utilizing organic finishes. Since the plan is that this will be their forever home a curbless shower was an important feature to them. The glass barn door on the shower makes the space feel larger and allows for the travertine shower tile to show through. Floating shelves and vanity allow the space to feel larger while the natural tones of the porcelain tile floor are calming. The his and hers vessel sinks make the space functional for two people to use it at once. The walk-in closet is open while the master bathroom has a white pocket door for privacy. Since a new master suite was added to the home we converted the existing master bedroom into a family room. Adding French Doors to the family room opened up the floorplan to the outdoors while increasing the amount of natural light in this room. The closet that was previously in the bedroom was converted to built in cabinetry and floating shelves in the family room. The French doors in the master suite and family room now both open to the same deck space. The homes new open floor plan called for a kitchen island to bring the kitchen and dining / great room together. The island is a 3” countertop vs the standard inch and a half. This design feature gives the island a chunky look. It was important that the island look like it was always a part of the kitchen. Lastly, we added a skylight in the corner of the kitchen as it felt dark once we closed off the side door that was there previously. Repurposing rooms and opening the floor plan led to creating a laundry closet out of an old coat closet (and borrowing a small space from the new family room). The floors become an integral part of tying together an open floor plan like this. The home still had original oak floors and the homeowners wanted to maintain that character. We laced in new planks and refinished it all to bring the project together. To add curb appeal we removed the carport which was blocking a lot of natural light from the outside of the house. We also re-stuccoed the home and added exterior trim.

This year might just be the year of the bathrooms. Since January, I have been working on six different bathroom projects. They range from full to partial renovation projects. I recently finished the design plans for the three bathrooms at the #themanchesterflip. I have also worked on a very cool master bathroom design project that has been approved and the work is scheduled to start by March. And then, there were the two fulls baths from #clientkoko that are now completed. Today I am happy to share the first one of them.

The Kelso's Bathroom is a modern and stylish space with a unique design. The room features a black bathroom faucet that adds a sleek and contemporary touch to the sink area. Black cabinet and drawer hardware complement the faucet and provide a cohesive look throughout the space. The black shower door trim adds a bold and eye-catching accent to the shower enclosure. A gray penny tile backsplash creates a visually interesting and textured backdrop behind the sink area. The shower is adorned with gray subway tiles, giving it a clean and modern look. Light wood cabinets offer ample storage space for bathroom essentials and contribute to the overall warm and inviting atmosphere. An orange orchid adds a pop of color and a touch of nature to the room. The bathroom is completed with a white quartz countertop, providing a durable and elegant surface for daily use. The Kelso's Bathroom is a harmonious blend of contemporary design elements and functional features, creating a stylish and comfortable space.

A classic master bathroom we designed that integrates light woods, unique tiling, and detailed hardware. Mounted shelving and towel racks offer space for artwork, toiletries, and dry towels, adding some much-needed space in this smaller scale bathroom. We were able to fit in a spa-like walk-in shower, separate toilet space, and wooden vanity (with plenty of additional storage). The last detail we added to this master bath is the gorgeous tiled flooring; a light blue pattern that matches the color of the walls. Project designed by Courtney Thomas Design in La Cañada.
