Located in Newport Beach’s coveted Port Streets, this family home was taken down to the studs and completely reimagined to create a layered, detail-rich forever home. We expanded key living spaces — including the kitchen and primary bathroom — to enhance both functionality and everyday luxury. Throughout the home, thoughtfully curated moments bring personality and warmth. From the beautifully wallpapered dining room to the checkerboard marble laundry room, each space was designed to feel timeless yet distinctive. Living spaces and bathrooms were individually styled using a cohesive palette of blues, greens, and warm browns — creating a sense of flow while allowing each room its own identity. The result is a thoughtfully tailored home that blends classic design with family-centered living in one of Newport Beach’s most beloved neighborhoods. This home was featured in the 2026 Corona del Mar Home Tour.

Almost every inch of this Colonial home in Alexandria’s coveted Seminary Ridge neighborhood hadn’t been touched in decades and desperately needed updating. Reconfiguring the first-floor plan allowed for an open flow from the new mudroom and laundry room off the garage through the family room and dining room, the completely redesigned new kitchen, and the formal living room. The second level was also reconfigured to create a proper primary suite with a large closet, spacious bathroom, and a hall bathroom for the kids that included playful tile and wallpaper selections.
