Bathed in natural light, this sun-filled living room is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Expansive French doors open to extend the space beyond its walls, inviting fresh air and effortless entertaining. Rustic beams and shiplap on the ceiling add warmth, texture, and character, creating a balance between relaxed elegance and timeless charm. A neutral palette, layered textiles, and thoughtfully curated furnishings enhance the inviting atmosphere, making this space as comfortable as it is beautiful—a true retreat for gathering, unwinding, and embracing the beauty of the outdoors.

This project started out as a brand new Great Room addition. The design started with the sectional couch and quickly moved to the rug; the focal points of the space. Both are kid friendly yet bring a laid back California sophistication to the room; perfect for both everyday living and entertaining guests. With lots of privacy outside, we decided to forgo any drapery, and as such, the space exudes freshness and openness. Experimenting with different textures, poofs and lamps add a level of warmth to balance out and add depth to the Southern California coolness. With a focus on a welcoming aesthetic, this mini oasis reflects the family's unique style while prioritizing comfort and practicality.

Brass plumbing fixtures add warmth and a timeless touch, complementing the crisp white walls and subtle textures throughout. Designed for both beauty and function, this inviting retreat offers a perfect balance of sophistication and serenity—where every detail feels effortlessly refined.

This project was a ton of fun. I have been working with these clients, now dear friends, for several years on their various properties and we work really well together. For their desert home, my goal was to create a new experience with each space while maintaining flow. This required striking a balance between organic light/airy spaces and glam dark/moody spaces. The finishes specified ranged from blackened steel, walnut, polished brass, rubbed plaster, digital wallcovering and back lit quartz to name a few. When a space draws you in closer to investigate there is a moment of discovery that elicits an emotional response. These spaces do just that. From sublime light fixtures to cozy seating vignettes, this home is a beautiful sanctuary - a place to entertain friends and family both indoors and out. It is a poised exercise in effortless, relaxed, edgy luxe design.
