Inspiration for a mid-sized contemporary entryway remodel in Los Angeles with gray walls and a red front door

Celebrating Southern California's mild climate, this hill-top residence was enhanced with an a bubbling water feature, outdoor shower, custom fencing and a Mediterranean plant palette. The fence's design, with its slender vertical lines, draws the eye toward the site's lovely borrowed scenery. An outdoor shower, nestled into a corner of the yard, beckons the homeowners to bath in the open air. Photo by Martin Cox.

We planned a thoughtful redesign of this beautiful home while retaining many of the existing features. We wanted this house to feel the immediacy of its environment. So we carried the exterior front entry style into the interiors, too, as a way to bring the beautiful outdoors in. In addition, we added patios to all the bedrooms to make them feel much bigger. Luckily for us, our temperate California climate makes it possible for the patios to be used consistently throughout the year. The original kitchen design did not have exposed beams, but we decided to replicate the motif of the 30" living room beams in the kitchen as well, making it one of our favorite details of the house. To make the kitchen more functional, we added a second island allowing us to separate kitchen tasks. The sink island works as a food prep area, and the bar island is for mail, crafts, and quick snacks. We designed the primary bedroom as a relaxation sanctuary – something we highly recommend to all parents. It features some of our favorite things: a cognac leather reading chair next to a fireplace, Scottish plaid fabrics, a vegetable dye rug, art from our favorite cities, and goofy portraits of the kids. --- Project designed by Courtney Thomas Design in La Cañada.

In this photo you see a hand crafted garage door to replicate a Carriage Door which is also traditional barn style. We added a faux stain finish to replicate wood grains, Iron ornaments and hinges with wire glass windows. This barn door / Carriage design goes well with the rustic colonial design. The straight edge finishes and clean lines also make this a great design for traditional and Modern homes too! A garage door makes up 25% of the face of the home in most cases and some even more, so why not use this area of the home to display your own style and creativity.

We are one of the first garage door manufactures in California to take a stand on our natural resources ecology by offering a real wood alternative.

Built by hand with care, we never waste materials and always recycle leftover building materials that go back to processors and are reconstituted into new building materials. Designed to be rustic and old world, we faux finished it in grey tones to bring the styles together.

So being the true custom garage door builder of California we took from our contemporary design and narrowed the windows and reduced one section in this roll up wood garage door design making room for a better balanced symmetrical look.

A custom home built in the 1990's and located in the Polo Reserve is just a stones throw away from the historic polo field. This California based couple moved to Littleton and the owners hired MOTIF refresh every room in the house. A great room, study, master suite, reading room, guestroom, custom his and hers closets, dining room, kitchen refresh, laundry room update, a basement entertaining space and a home gym were all included. Integrating the owner's furnishings from a home in California, with new design elements create a lovely and elegant backdrop for this retired couple to live.. A slice of a fallen red wood tree in northern California was the inspiration for this lovely custom coffee table -- the centerpiece of this grand room. 2 story high ceilings, a large wall of windows, an overlooking balcony and collections of items from world travels provide plenty of topics for interesting conversation as the owners gather here with friends.

With sweeping views of the Willamette river and Mt. Hood, this Atwater Place condo was designed with a balance of minimalism and livability in mind. A complete kitchen remodel brought a dark interior kitchen to the light and a full furnishings package welcomed Los Angeles transplants home to their new modern and bright residence. Our clients, a retired camera operator for both feature films and television and a producer/production manager on numerous television series including Weeds and The Middle, relocated from their traditionally-styled LA bungalow to Portland in the Summer of 2014. The couple sought a design departure from their long-term California residence and a fresh start for their new life in the South Waterfront. With only two pieces of sentimental furniture and a handful of artwork included in the plan, we set out to create a comfortable and clean-lined furnishings package complimenting the broad southeast views. Organically shaped upholstery pieces juxtaposed with angular steel and wood tables create a soft balance in the open floor plan. Several custom pieces, including a dining table designed by our studio and a custom hand-blown glass chandelier crafted by Scott Schiesel with Lightlite compliment timeless pieces from Knoll, Herman Miller, and B&B Italia. The kitchen is designed to reflect light and create brilliance in a space that is otherwise naturally dark. A material balance of stainless steel, back painted glass, quartz composite, lacquer, and mirror all play their part in creating a vibrant cooking environment. We collectively decided to forgo the traditional island pendant for a linear commercial fixture that provides tremendous light to the prep surface and creates an unexpected architectural element. The mirrored prep island creates the illusion of open space while concealing casework and wine storage on the working side of the kitchen. It is worth noting that this project was designed and installed almost entirely while our clients were still living in LA and wrapping up professional obligations and selling their home. This afforded us the tremendous opportunity to send our clients to showrooms not available in Portland to view key pieces before final specification. Textiles and finish samples were approved via mail and communication took place over e-mail, telephone, and an occasional office visit. This unique process lead to a successful result and a beautifully balanced living environment. Josh Partee Photography
