East Bay Mediterranean stuccoed courtyard with late summer planting Ania Omski-Talwar Location: Danville, CA, USA The house was built in 1963 and is reinforced cinder block construction, unusual for California, which makes any renovation work trickier. The kitchen we replaced featured all maple cabinets and floors and pale pink countertops. With the remodel we didn’t change the layout, or any window/door openings. The cabinets may read as white, but they are actually cream with an antique glaze on a flat panel door. All countertops and backsplash are granite. The original copper hood was replaced by a custom one in zinc. Dark brick veneer fireplace is now covered in white limestone. The homeowners do a lot of entertaining, so even though the overall layout didn’t change, I knew just what needed to be done to improve function. The husband loves to cook and is beyond happy with his 6-burner stove. https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/90234951/list/zinc-range-hood-and-a-limestone-fireplace-create-a-timeless-look

The cobblers kids have no shoes rang true as this builder worked on his own home for many years. Originally a 1980’s split level, this project slowly transformed from a once outdated and run down building into a beautiful contemporary home. Mixing natural wood and stone created a classic, yet contemporary feel throughout the interior and exterior. A full gut down to the studs allowed the structure to be up fitted with new mechanicals, electrical, insulation, windows and doors. We moved the kitchen to the south side, removed the attic and built full length dormers and a stair tower allowing epic views of cables hump. The interior is built out with custom builtins, cabinets and furniture. The exterior was laid out in a way that makes entertaining a dream. Landscaping and hardscaping tied this whole project together. It feels good to finish building out your own home from a dream all the way through to reality.
