Designed as a retreat for a couple transitioning into retirement, this 5,000-sq-ft home balances traditional charm with modern comfort, preserving key architectural details while enhancing functionality. The primary bath is a luxurious retreat featuring an iron and glass shower enclosure, a river pebble floor, and a soaking tub positioned to take advantage of a secluded view.

Metal Kitchen backsplash: Eden Mosaic Tile Modern Random Mix Steel - Glass II - EMT_118S-MIX-SM. This ultra modern interlocking tile is comprised of various sizes of silver and light black stainless steel and white glass pieces. There are two types of brush patterns on the stainless steel, the first being a straight snow matte linear brush pattern, and the second being a circular brushed pattern. The different steel brush patterns appear to give the stainless steel a different color because of the way the light reflects off the tile, when in fact both are a regular stainless steel color. The result is a visually stunning array of colors and textures which will surely make your wall pop. Use this steel and glass mixed mosaic on kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, fireplaces and even accent walls. The tiles in this sheet are mounted on a nylon mesh which allows for an easy installation.

This large foyer opens into the dining and family rooms, which have a great view of the beautiful lake. We wanted to really impress guests as they walked into the home, and the large carved console table and reverse painted mirror did the trick. The smooth metal lamps are a nice addition that enhance the space but don't compete with the other items. Of course, the first change we made was the light fixture. Per usual, the original was way too small. This one ... perfect! Design: Wesley-Wayne Interiors Photo: Stephen Karlisch

Example of a transitional master bathroom design in Los Angeles

This bathroom was the only room left from the original 1940s home after a complete renovation of the home done in 1989. This bathroom is the first floor powder room for guests. We decided to keep the shower to enhance the value and to give beachgoers somewhere to shower off. We used traditional English styling as a motivation, which included marble mosaic flooring and walls with a pedestal sink. The polished nickel hardware glistens against the black and white stone and white lacquer woodwork. Accenting and visually expanding the small room is a wall size antique incised silver mirror from France dated 1840. The sconces are Hotel Silver and Crystal. Storage closet with slatted doors completes the Caribbean-English feel to this luxurious guest bathroom.

Mauve was the haute fashion color of the 1980’s when our clients custom-built this home on acreage. The before pictures feature mauve moiré wallpaper and gold accents, but what most dated was the low 30 inches cabinet height that was popular at that time. Arlene Ladegaard, founder and principal designer of Design Connection, Inc., in Overland Park, Kan., had already updated many other rooms in this home. The clients contacted her for the powder room and master bathroom. Arlene and the clients decided to leave in place the marble tile floor that had been installed a few years back. As graduates of Kansas State University (with school colors of purple and silver), the clients loved purple and had accents of it in many other rooms in the home. For the powder room, the clients desired wallpaper in the purple tones and Arlene found the perfect, fashion-forward floral purple and silver wallpaper. Arlene and her design team specified a new standard 36-inch-high cabinet and Cambria quartz countertops. A mosaic backsplash carried hints purple accents and the plumbing fixtures and oval mirror above the counter in brushed nickel captured the silver highlights. The clients loved the new look that included a Kohler ADA height toilet. There is no more bending down to sit down! The design of this new powder room blends with the traditional style of the home and works well with the surrounding spaces. Design Connection, Inc. provided cabinet design and specifications, wallpaper, countertops, plumbing fixtures, lighting, installation and project management.

Neutral colours of cream and taupe are carefully layered in the rustic wood furniture, linen upholstery and embroidered drapery to give the room tactile and visual interest. Accents of brushed nickle are repeated throughout as seen in the drapery rod, nail heads on the chairs, base of the table and chandelier above.

This weatherly bench was custom built for these beautiful turquoise cushions. The firepit was built with a reclaimed wood table top to use as a coffee table when not using the firepit. The pallet wall was dry brushed with yellow, blue, and green and coated in polyurethane to protect them long term from the elements. A variety of flowering plants, grasses and vines were chosen to bring some life and color to a large blank space. Lights were added to give warm, ambient light.
