This adorable beach cottage is in the heart of the village of La Jolla in San Diego. The goals were to brighten up the space and be the perfect beach get-away for the client whose permanent residence is in Arizona. Some of the ways we achieved the goals was to place an extra high custom board and batten in the great room and by refinishing the kitchen cabinets (which were in excellent shape) white. We created interest through extreme proportions and contrast. Though there are a lot of white elements, they are all offset by a smaller portion of very dark elements. We also played with texture and pattern through wallpaper, natural reclaimed wood elements and rugs. This was all kept in balance by using a simplified color palate minimal layering. I am so grateful for this client as they were extremely trusting and open to ideas.

At the opposite end of the twins' bedroom is the work area. The table was custom made during the time that some of the children were being home schooled, so it needed to be a good size with lots of room to spread out. Above the workspace, another piece by Ann Carrington creates a dramatic focal point. A portrait of Michael Jordan, the piece is constructed from layers upon layers of old cut basketballs. Closed storage is kept to a minimum, even in the boys' room. In order to prevent clutter, objects are given away when they have lived out their use by the family. "We hate clutter", says Cortney. "We have no problem getting rid of anything... It's just stuff." Photo: Adrienne DeRosa Photography © 2014 Houzz Design: Cortney and Robert Novogratz

Our British Colonial Seating Collection captures the old-world character of antique carved mahogany, re-created in durable cast aluminum. Frames are enhanced with intricately detailed die-cast pineapple accents, finished through a 14-step powdercoat process, and hand-painted to achieve a richly grained, wood-like texture. Classic spindle legs and pineapple pedestals support rattan-motif tabletops. Seating pieces have plantation-shutter backs, are generously scaled, and include high-performing, solution-dyed fabric cushions for lasting, fade-resistant comfort.

This client hired us to remodel their kitchen virtually. They were out of the country and needed someone to design and handle the construction process on their behalf. The entire process was done via zoom calls, international texting apps and phone calls.
