This exciting renovation improved both the look and functionality of our client’s Master Ensuite and Shared Bathroom. Both rooms had both dated aesthetics and dysfunctional layouts, but more importantly, they required updated plumbing due to an old renovation where the plumbing had been done incorrectly and had caused leaking and ceiling damage below. To solve the leaks, and provide better function in both Bathrooms, fixtures in the Shared Bathroom were relocated, and the previously installed plumbing connections were corrected. This solved the leak issues and provided improved function in both Bathrooms. A rarely used large corner tub in the Master Ensuite was eliminated to accommodate a spacious walk-in shower with a bench, and a custom wall-to-wall double vanity provided a nice aesthetic and lots of useful storage. The tub and toilet in the Shared Bathroom were switched and new custom vanity and linen cabinets were installed. Each Bathroom was given its own distinct look. Porcelain tiles made to look like marble, and mosaics accentuated with patterned floor tiles, luxurious marble knobs and handles, and beautiful jewel faucets gave the Master Ensuite a Transitional charm. The Shared Bathroom was completed with large format black porcelain tiles with a marble look, glass accent mosaics, and modern plumbing fixtures gave the room an eclectic flair. The project was finished on time, and our clients couldn’t be happier! They can now enjoy their personalized Shared Bathroom and Master Ensuite, with the comfort of knowing the plumbing is installed correctly.

This Aurora lower level wine cellar features lit insets along the stone walls to feature bottles of wine, while the other wall houses the rest of the home owners collection. The center piece of the room is a rustic wine barrel embedded into the wall appearing to function as a keystone for the stone work around it. The glass and rod-iron door seals properly ensuring the correct temperature and humidity for the cellar.

This family room looks very stylish and functional thanks to the small amount of upholstered furniture and its correct arrangement around the perimeter of the room. The family room is decorated in shades of beige, gray, white and pink, which are perfectly combined with each other and create a warm, welcoming, calm, and cozy atmosphere inside this room. Make your family room as functional, stylish, and beautiful as this one in the photo. We are here to help you do it properly!

Designed By: Richard Bustos Photos By: Jeri Koegel Ron and Kathy Chaisson have lived in many homes throughout Orange County, including three homes on the Balboa Peninsula and one at Pelican Crest. But when the “kind of retired” couple, as they describe their current status, decided to finally build their ultimate dream house in the flower streets of Corona del Mar, they opted not to skimp on the amenities. “We wanted this house to have the features of a resort,” says Ron. “So we designed it to have a pool on the roof, five patios, a spa, a gym, water walls in the courtyard, fire-pits and steam showers.” To bring that five-star level of luxury to their newly constructed home, the couple enlisted Orange County’s top talent, including our very own rock star design consultant Richard Bustos, who worked alongside interior designer Trish Steel and Patterson Custom Homes as well as Brandon Architects. Together the team created a 4,500 square-foot, five-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bathroom contemporary house where R&R get top billing in almost every room. Two stories tall and with lots of open spaces, it manages to feel spacious despite its narrow location. And from its third floor patio, it boasts panoramic ocean views. “Overall we wanted this to be contemporary, but we also wanted it to feel warm,” says Ron. Key to creating that look was Richard, who selected the primary pieces from our extensive portfolio of top-quality furnishings. Richard also focused on clean lines and neutral colors to achieve the couple’s modern aesthetic, while allowing both the home’s gorgeous views and Kathy’s art to take center stage. As for that mahogany-lined elevator? “It’s a requirement,” states Ron. “With three levels, and lots of entertaining, we need that elevator for keeping the bar stocked up at the cabana, and for our big barbecue parties.” He adds, “my wife wears high heels a lot of the time, so riding the elevator instead of taking the stairs makes life that much better for her.”

This custom-build banquette was created onsite by our team to lower production costs. With the direction of J Peterson Design, no detail was left unattended. The shaker panels are just the right height so that the continuous baseboard doesn't interfere with the design. Integrated outlets for easy electronic charging and under-seating access panel to ensure local code-compliance. This banquette is not only functional but it's our favorite banquette done thus far because it was done correctly from the start. Did I mention the seating height is ideal?

Our clients found us on Instagram and wanted to discuss creating an outdoor space at their historic colonial home in Wayland. With the house having so much character, the garden needed a boost. We wanted to keep the design period correct and functional. We chose to use reclaimed granite previously salvaged from the streets of Boston. With subtle grade changes, and proper drainage, we were able to create an outdoor room that our clients can enjoy for years to come. A lot of our work is full property renovations, however we love to work on small space designs, this was a fun one! https://youtu.be/w_nugnQYbpw

board onUsing a traditional farmhouse inspired painted board and batten wainscoting with an elaborate crown molding cap, this bathroom was added on the second floor to service each of the bedrooms. A clean marble tile floor grounds the design with a period correct touch reminiscent of some of the first indoor bathrooms many years ago. The antique cast iron claw foot tub was purchased, refurbished and re-glazed to give it back its original luster, paired with a shiny new chrome hand shower and spigot. The shutter over the window was original to the home, found covered in dust and hidden away in the corner of the attic. Cleaned, repainted and re-mounted, it now provides a beautiful source of privacy and character to a bathroom window.

Combine modern functionality with period-correct charm in these bathroom fixtures. Featuring sleek designs that blend seamlessly with vintage aesthetics, these fixtures offer the best of both worlds—classic elegance and contemporary convenience.

Beautiful grand kitchen, with a classy, light and airy feel. Each piece was designed and detailed for the functionality and needs of the family.
