The plans included a new master suite, expanded laundry room, a powder room, a second-floor multipurpose room, a guest room with bath, and a new basement with a playroom for the boys, an entertaining space for the grownups, and another bathroom and unfinished storage space. Once complete, the home was more than 5,900 square feet. The home’s largest family space is the loft-style multipurpose room on the new second floor. The renovation also includes a fantastic and modern pool and outdoor living area with plenty of space for summer cookouts and entertaining.

This yard was unusable by the resident grownups and unsafe for their kids who wished they had a place to retreat from city hazards. We refurbished the crumbling concrete retaining wall at the bottom. built another wall above that using dry-stacked broken concrete pieces, and a third wall at the top using decorative dry-stacked cement blocks. Between the upper two walls, we carved out a space for a patio, which we paved with Mediterranean style pavers. At the patio's front edge, we built a safety railing of redwood and vertical steel tubes, which gave it a classy look.

To encourage their children to visit with their grandchildren, our clients asked us to create a guest bedroom with an en suite nursery suitable for boys or girls. They provided the elegant crib and we added custom bedding plus a faux snow leopard throw for soft texture and middle-of-the-night snuggling with baby. The color-block window panels and cornice boxes with Swarovski crystals match the window treatment behind the grownup bed and the Shimmer Suede wall treatment is consistent throughout the space. The open floor area throughout the nursery provides room for growing children to play. Photo by Larry Malvin

The walnut topped ledge behind the vanity serves a variety of purposes. It offers the opportunity not only to display decorative items but also to set essential bathroom items like toothbrushes, soaps, and tissues, keeping the counter top less cluttered. It also serves a more utilitarian purpose, as well. Plumbing can be run in the partial height wall, keeping it out of the exterior walls where pipes can freeze in the winter. And wall-mounted faucets can easily be mounted to the back splash, allowing for a clean, contemporary look that keeps the counter tops free and clean. In addition, a routed channel is recessed in the lip, allowing for a self-adhering LED strip light. Think of it as a night lite for grownups. Eric & Chelsea Eul Photogrpahy
