Nestled within the timeless elegance of a Spanish Colonial home, this wine and tequila bar is a warm, luxurious retreat where Old World charm meets modern sophistication. The space is anchored by bold, patterned wallpaper, which adds depth and vibrancy to the walls, complementing the beautiful Spanish tile that adorns the bar front. These handcrafted tiles shimmer under the soft glow of the iron and leather chandelier flooding a warn light throughout the room. A custom-designed table serves as the heart of the space, its rich wood tones and artisanal craftsmanship inviting guests to gather and linger over fine wine and premium tequila. A large wine cellar, enclosed in metal and glass, showcases an exquisite collection of vintages, while the custom wood shelves display an array of top-shelf tequilas, each bottle a piece of art in itself. Exposed wooden beams enhance the grandeur of the space, while a durable fabric covers the counter stools. Whether enjoying a robust wine or a smooth tequila, every sip is a journey into the rich traditions of Spanish and Latin American culture.

This bedroom and full bathroom are part of an adventuresome project my wife and I embarked upon to create a complete apartment in the basement of our townhouse. We designed a floor plan that creatively and efficiently used all of the 385-square-foot-space, without sacrificing beauty, comfort or function – and all without breaking the bank! To maximize our budget, we did the work ourselves and added everything from thrift store finds to DIY wall art to bring it all together. A partial double closet bar adds a little extra space while still leaving room for longer hanging clothes.

Originally, the exterior of the Napa ranch residence was a standard knocked down stucco finish. We covered over the entire exterior of the house with a natural plaster product that has been made in Italy for centuries, known as Rialto or Vero. This product is a combination of slaked lime mixed with 60% reconstituted crushed marble dust. Quarried from the legendary Carrara marble mines. The finish itself is a vertically combed striated texture embedded into the plaster. While it cures, a transparent group of patinas are applied to the stone-like plaster substance to create a look of an aged villa.

Modern luxury meets warm farmhouse in this Southampton home! Scandinavian inspired furnishings and light fixtures create a clean and tailored look, while the natural materials found in accent walls, casegoods, the staircase, and home decor hone in on a homey feel. An open-concept interior that proves less can be more is how we’d explain this interior. By accentuating the “negative space,” we’ve allowed the carefully chosen furnishings and artwork to steal the show, while the crisp whites and abundance of natural light create a rejuvenated and refreshed interior. This sprawling 5,000 square foot home includes a salon, ballet room, two media rooms, a conference room, multifunctional study, and, lastly, a guest house (which is a mini version of the main house).
