An historic Spanish Colonial residence built in 1925 being redesigned and furnished for a modern-day Southern California family was the challenge. The interiors of the main house needed the backgrounds set and then a timeless collection created for its furnishings. Lifestyle was always a consideration as well as the interiors relating to the strong architecture of the residence. Natural colors such as terra cotta, tans, blues, greens, old red and soft vintage shades were incorporated throughout. Our goal was to maintain the historic character of the residence combining design elements and materials considered classic in Southern California Spanish Colonial architecture. Natural fiber textiles, leathers and woven linens were the predominated upholstery choices. A 7000 square foot basement was added and furnished to provide a gym, Star Wars theater, game areas, spa area and a simulator for indoor golf and other sports.
Antiques were selected throughout the world, fine art from major galleries, custom reproductions fabricated in the old-world style. Collectible carpets were selected for the reclaimed hardwood flooring in all the areas. An estancia and garden over the basement were created and furnished with old world designs and materials as reclaimed woods, terra cotta and French limestone flooring.

Refreshed & Refined
Sometimes the best transformations begin with good bones. In this project, we reimagined a dated 90's kitchen, dinette, and living space with a thoughtful refresh - proving that impactful change doesn’t always require a full renovation.
An awkwardly placed three-sided fireplace was removed and replaced with a custom built-in feature wall, creating a strong focal point for the open-concept space. The existing cabinetry was refaced, while additional cabinets and a new island were added to improve storage, flow, and everyday usability.
The entire space was updated in a warm neutral palette, accented with subtle green and blue tones the homeowners love. The result is a fresh, timeless space designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

This inviting living space strikes a balance between cozy comfort and sophisticated design. The room is anchored by a stunning black-painted fireplace surround adorned with bold, patterned tile in classic black and white, creating a strong focal point. Built-in shelving flanks the fireplace for both style and storage, while a flat-screen TV above blends functionality with design.
Warm leather swivel chairs add richness to the room, complemented by a vibrant teal velvet sofa that injects color and personality. A round glass coffee table with brass and acrylic accents pulls the space together, sitting atop a textured area rug that adds warmth underfoot. Natural light pours in from the adjacent windows, while views into the kitchen and dining area highlight the open-concept layout.
This family-friendly space combines layered textures, bold contrasts, and thoughtful detailing for a look that is both modern and timeless.

This kitchen embraces mid-century modern influence through warm walnut cabinetry, clean-lined forms, and a refined balance of color and texture. Flat-panel wood doors create a strong horizontal rhythm, complemented by a soft blue tile backsplash that introduces subtle pattern and depth.
A contrasting island in a muted blue tone anchors the space, topped with crisp white countertops that maintain a fresh, architectural feel. Minimal hardware and streamlined appliances reinforce the uncluttered aesthetic, while open glass-front cabinetry adds visual lightness.
Overhead, a sculptural brass chandelier becomes a statement element, adding movement and a touch of modern glamour above the dining area. The result is a thoughtfully layered kitchen that feels warm, functional, and effortlessly mid-century in character with a contemporary edge.

Approaching the master bathroom - first the vanities, then a freestanding tub that faces a window to a private courtyard. The toilet and shower (out of frame) are at the end.

In the living room, a large sectional and side chair with a great textured fabric provides comfortable seating. The fireplace wall was tiled and flanked with large, sleek mirrors to create a strong focal point in the room.

An original turn-of-the-century Craftsman home had lost it original charm in the kitchen and bathroom, both renovated in the 1980s. The clients desired to restore the original look, while still giving the spaces an updated feel. Both rooms were gutted and new materials, fittings and appliances were installed, creating a strong reference to the history of the home, while still moving the house into the 21st century.
