2013 NARI CAPITAL COTY, GRAND AWARD WINNER, RESIDENTIAL KITCHEN UNDER $40,000 The homeowners wanted to update their kitchen, improving its traffic flow so more than one person could work in the space at a time. Other goals included lighter cabinetry, better lighting and more storage space. Design solutions incorporated into the remodel include eliminating the peninsula and replacing it with a large island that seats four; adding a prep sink in the island; eliminating a closet and bulkhead to add space for larger appliances and taller cabinets; and replacing vinyl floors with wide plank Brazilian walnut. Soft cream-colored cabinetry and exotic granite countertops make this kitchen lighter and brighter. Additionally, using recessed lighting with three zones and task lighting has also brightened the space. An arched mantel hood with matching corbels over the range created a needed focal point.

Robert and Laurie live in downtown Santa Barbara, which has a very specific set of rules to maintain the architectural style of the area. It was important for them to have solar panels that are not visible from the ground or from a panoramic of the city. Solar panels were installed on a flat section of their roof space and special solar railings were installed along their patio. When they have guests over, they are asked if their glass panels are a work of art!

This traditional living room redecoration was designed to create a brighter, more inviting space while maintaining the home's classic character and architectural features. The homeowners wanted the room to feel less dark and visually heavy and better reflect their current lifestyle. The redesign focused on lightening the furniture, introducing stronger contrast, and incorporating a statement area rug to anchor the seating arrangement. By balancing color, texture, and scale, the room gained a more cohesive and intentional feel while allowing the stone fireplace to remain a focal point. The result is a comfortable, elegant living room that feels open, welcoming, and well-suited for both everyday living and entertaining.
