Mid-sized 1950s guest carpeted and gray floor bedroom photo in Phoenix with black walls

This family residing on North Euclid in Upland, requested a living room they could actually live in. A space that was not too formal but nodded toward formality in a subtle way. They wanted a space where many people could gather, converse, watch TV and simply relax. The look I created I call “California French Country”. I achieved this by designing the room in layers. First I started with new dark wood floors to match their staircase. Then I had Board and Batten installed to accentuate ceiling height and give the room more structure. Next, the walls were painted above the Board and Batten Mood Indigo by Behr and the ceiling beams white for a clean, classic, crisp, fresh look. I designed custom inverted pleat drapes with a navy blue band to be installed. A new chandelier in loft area was installed to go with the existing entry chandelier from Restoration Hardware. Then it was time to furnish the space according to my new space plan. I used a mix of new and existing pieces, which most were repurposed and refinished. New furnishings included a goose down sofa, wool rug, tufted navy ottoman. Existing pieces I reused were the armoire which I had finished in a cranberry to match loft chaise. A wing back chair , ottoman, cane back chair and client’s entry bench that was made by her father were all reupholstered. I had a custom marble table top fabricated to sit atop 2 antique Chinese meal box holders that the client has been holding on to, which created the perfect entry table. I accessorized the room with red, blue and white accents to give the room that “lived in” feeling. The loft houses a large antique mirror that I found in a local shop, a velvet chaise to lounge and their daughter’s artwork was hung in the loft area to make the space feel like their own little getaway.

We designed this beautiful home to feel lively, warm, welcoming, and lots of fun. We went with a neutral palette and pops of beautiful peach to add a cheerful ambience to the space. Elegant furniture, striking artwork, and beautiful decor adds style and sophistication to the home.

I love this living room. Soft beautiful lines of the swivel chair and the jigsaw puzzle coffee table make us swoon. The neutral rug with some greys, blues and whites feels luxe and groudns the room. Its hard to believe, but its an indoor outdoor rug. This room is right next to teh entry door and the door to their outdoors space, so this dual-function was critical. The Kelly Wearstler accent pillows in differenct sizes add some pattern and compliment the art. The sconce and the fiddle fig plant take our eye up to the high ceilings.

Park Avenue living at it's finest! Our clients purchased the estate sale apartment with an idea of what it could be. And did it ever go through a transformation. By knocking down some walls, adding other walls, creating lighting coves and adding unique wall and ceiling treatments, this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home was completely reinvented.

The ‘Villa Blanca’ kitchen now has the clean, modern and homey feeling our clients wanted for this space. Minimal accessories on the countertops keeps the kitchen from feeling cluttered. Wood cutting boards with suede straps warm up the cool marble countertops and add a fun detail to the classic kitchen. Photography by, Kate Zimmerman
