Our La Cañada studio designed this lovely home, keeping with the fun, cheerful personalities of the homeowner. The entry runner from Annie Selke is the perfect introduction to the house and its playful palette, adding a welcoming appeal. In the dining room, a beautiful, iconic Schumacher wallpaper was one of our happy finishes whose vines and garden colors begged for more vibrant colors to complement it. So we added bold green color to the trims, doors, and windows, enhancing the playful appeal. In the family room, we used a soft palette with pale blue, soft grays, and warm corals, reminiscent of pastel house palettes and crisp white trim that reflects the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches of Bermuda! The formal living room looks elegant and sophisticated, with beautiful furniture in soft blue and pastel green. The curtains nicely complement the space, and the gorgeous wooden center table anchors the space beautifully. In the kitchen, we added a custom-built, happy blue island that sits beneath the house’s namesake fabric, Hydrangea Heaven.

We are thrilled to present our recently completed landscape remodel project in the vibrant city of Orange, California. This modern and stunning transformation perfectly marries contemporary aesthetics with functional outdoor living. With a price range of $35,000 - $40,000, our team has orchestrated an impressive array of features that have revitalized the entire space.
Project Highlights:
1. Comprehensive Demolition and Site Preparation:
The project began with the meticulous removal of existing concrete and decomposed granite, setting the stage for a fresh canvas. Clearing the site was a crucial step to lay the foundation for the envisioned modern oasis.
2. Thoughtful Irrigation System:
We designed and installed a state-of-the-art irrigation system that not only ensures the lushness of the landscape but also conserves water through efficient distribution methods. This sustainable approach aligns with the modern ethos of the project.
3. Contemporary Concrete Walkways and Driveway:
The landscape now boasts brand-new poured concrete walkways and a driveway, exuding modern elegance. The sleek lines and minimalistic design of the concrete elements harmonize seamlessly with the overall aesthetic.
4. Luxurious Synthetic Turf:
To introduce a touch of verdant luxury without the maintenance requirements, we installed high-quality synthetic turf. Its evergreen allure adds a refreshing contrast against the hardscape elements.
5. Bountiful Flora and Fauna:
Carefully curated plants and trees have been strategically placed to add depth, color, and texture to the landscape. This selection of vegetation creates a dynamic environment that evolves with the changing seasons.
6. Reimagined Decomposed Granite Areas:
The introduction of new decomposed granite areas not only complements the modern design but also adds a natural element to the landscape. This material harmonizes beautifully with the surroundings, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.
7. Subtle Landscape Lighting:
Landscape lighting has been thoughtfully incorporated to illuminate the space during the evening hours. This subtle and strategic lighting transforms the landscape into a captivating visual delight after sunset.
8. Refreshed Wood Fence:
To frame the space with a touch of warmth, the wood fence has been sanded and re-stained. This careful restoration preserves the natural charm of the fence while seamlessly aligning it with the contemporary redesign.
In conclusion, our recently completed landscape remodel in Orange, CA stands as a testament to the harmonious fusion of modern design, functionality, and natural beauty. With a budget of $35,000 - $40,000, we've transformed an ordinary outdoor area into an extraordinary modern sanctuary. This project showcases our commitment to crafting outdoor spaces that not only reflect our clients' vision but also elevate their quality of life.

THEME Doors are a visual frame to the
entrance of a great room. This highquality,
personalized element adds
fun and interest to the room before it
is even entered, and provides a great
introduction for any theme.
FOCUS The half-door offers unique
access to the room, providing a true
feeling of ownership for the child and
peace of mind for parents. The top half
of the door swings separate from the
bottom, maintaining great ventilation
and a clear view into the room.
GROWTH The doors look beautiful and
function normally for many years.
SAFETY The doors easily replace
unsightly baby gates and provide
the same level of restraint, without
the footholds or slats often used by
children to manipulate or climb gates.
Solid wood core birch construction
keeps sound out (or sound in) when
the door is closed, while a sliding
gate lock safely secures the bottom
half, and makes opening the top half
simple.

Materials
Ipe Hardwood, Marine Grade Birch, Brazilian Walnut
Dimensions
Height: 34 Inches; Width: 49 Inches; Depth: 15 Inches
Description
Modern, Contemporary luxury in a sleek stylish and modern design brings a beautiful style to any outdoor entertainment space. This outdoor TV cabinet it rated for both very cold and very hot environments, complete protection from mold, mildew or insects and with a fire rating identical to that of concrete you can be sure this piece of furniture will stand the test of time.
The sustainably sourced Ipe hardwood (also known as Brazilian Walnut) is hard, robust and durable. It's naturally weatherproof and survives equally well in hot or humid climates as it does in rain, frost, wind, ice or snow. It is guaranteed to not mildew or mold. In fact in tests performed by the USGA Ipe can be buried underground for over 50 years without rotting.
The simple and modern design is taken to the next level by the introduction of a Nexus TV lift system which allows your TV cabinet to be wirelessly opened by the touch of a button. The TV lift system comes with a 10-year warranty. With the addition of the 360 degree swivel option the TV can be viewed from any angle.
Comes with:
- American-made TV Lift system w/ 10 Year Warranty
- Fully waterproofed interior, power distribution box
- Front panel is fully removable for safe maintenance

Everyone dreams of a luxurious bathroom. But a bath with an enviable city and water view? That’s almost beyond expectation. But this primary bath delivers that and more. The introduction to this oasis is through a reeded glass pocket door, obscuring the actual contents of the room, but allowing an abundance of natural light to lure you in. Upon entering, you’re struck by the expansiveness of the relatively modest footprint. This is attributed to the judicious use of only three materials: slatted wood panels; marble; and glass. Resisting the temptation to add multiple finishes creates a voluminous effect. Slats of rift-cut white oak in a natural finish were custom fabricated into vanity doors and wall panels. The pattern mimics the reeded glass on the entry door. On the floating vanity, the doors have a beveled top edge, thus eliminating the distraction of hardware. Marble is lavished on the floor; the shower enclosure; the tub deck and surround; as well as the custom 6” thick mitered countertop with integral sinks and backsplash. The glass shower door and end wall allows straight sight lines to that all-important view. Tri-view mirrors interspersed with LED lighting prove that medicine cabinets can still be stylish.
This project was done in collaboration with Sarah Witkin, AIA of Bilotta Architecture and Michelle Pereira of Innato Interiors LLC. Photography by Stefan Radtke.

This kitchen underwent a thoughtful refresh that elevated its existing footprint by adding a spacious new island and a dedicated wet bar, dramatically boosting storage capacity and creating an ideal setup for entertaining. The introduction of wood-stained cabinetry complements the original white cabinets, inviting in a fresh, modern sophistication while maintaining warmth and cohesion.
Brass hardware and light fixtures add an inviting glow, enhancing the family-oriented feel of the room.
The stacked ceramic backsplash behind the wet bar brings organic texture and earthy elegance to the area. Its layered, dimensional design serves as a striking focal point, tying the bar's functionality together with the wood tones, brass accents, bright quartz countertops, and overall modern-traditional vibe.

New product introduction. Digitally printed cork floors! Water resistant and offers some "cushion". 1000 DPI gives a very realistic visual translation with 20 plank variations per box.

*Layout and Spatial Arrangement:*
The layout maximizes the available space, creating an open and airy atmosphere. The free-standing tub becomes a focal point, strategically placed to offer a sense of luxury and relaxation. The custom glass shower enclosure contributes to the open feel, allowing natural light to permeate the space.
*Color Scheme:*
A neutral color palette dominates the design, with shades of white, gray, and beige creating a timeless and sophisticated ambiance. The introduction of a modern champagne bronze finish for fixtures adds a touch of warmth and elegance to the overall look.
*Flooring and Wall Finishes:*
Large-format tiles with a polished finish cover the bathroom floor, providing a seamless and easy-to-maintain surface. The walls may feature a combination of tiles and perhaps a feature wall with a textured or patterned finish to add visual interest.
*Fixtures and Cabinetry:*
The centerpiece is a freestanding bathtub with clean lines, possibly positioned near a large window to capitalize on natural light. The fixtures, such as the sink faucets, showerheads, and towel bars, boast a modern champagne bronze finish, creating a cohesive and stylish look. Custom-built cabinetry with minimalist handles complements the overall design, offering both functionality and aesthetics.
*Custom Glass Shower Enclosure:*
The shower area is enclosed with custom glass, ensuring a seamless and open appearance. This enclosure not only enhances the modern aesthetic but also allows the beauty of the shower tiles to be showcased. The shower itself features a rain showerhead and perhaps a built-in niche for bath products.
*Lighting and Mirrors:*
Modern and energy-efficient LED lighting fixtures are strategically placed to illuminate the space effectively. Large mirrors, possibly with integrated lighting, contribute to the sense of spaciousness and add a touch of glamour to the design.

Custom, luxurious window treatments which have been tailored to the highest standards are a particular speciality for Grunberger Interiors.
The market is filled with bland, cookie cutter fabric and trim offerings provided by retailers who are salespeople first and designers second. The results are boring and uninspired, and all too often leave the homeowner feeling that something's still missing in their home's design.
Window treatments are so much more than a means to gain privacy and light filtration. Whilst this is very important, before you rush to cover up your windows, you should instead be thinking about how these coverings could be an important vehicle to realize your home's potential and make a powerful design statement.
My approach is to always think out of the box to develop fabric design schemes that are truly unique and eye catching. They tell a story of who you are and what you love. You won't find these selections and combinations at your local store. Your home's decor will shine and your experience of your spaces will be enhanced.
The process begins with my window treatment and soft furnishings consultation, which is a comprehensive design working design session filled with exiting ideas, inspiration and solutions. I bring a bespoke tray of carefully curated fabrics, trims, and wallpaper - your introduction to a world of possibilities.
After a design direction has been established, I will source beautiful fabrics and trims from a variety of trade resources, including the prestigious D&D building in Manhattan.
We shall reconvene and have an enjoyable, creative exchange of ideas and determine the perfect design scheme for each room. Professional measuring, frequent liaison with my bespoke workroom to ensure that every last detail has been addressed, followed by expert installation completes the design process.

In this kitchen renovation, the aim was to revamp the space, making it not just functional, but stylish and inviting too. The decision to paint the walls predominantly white instantly promoted brightness and airiness into the room, setting the stage for a modern makeover. Knocking down the wall separating the kitchen from the family room added a touch of spaciousness and promoted seamless interaction between the two areas. Introducing a sleek floating island became the centerpiece, offering both practicality and a contemporary aesthetic. Upgrading to all new appliances ensured efficiency without sacrificing style. The end result? A chic, welcoming kitchen that's as perfect for cooking up a storm as it is for gathering with loved ones.
In this extensive bathroom remodel, a once cluttered and cramped primary bathroom has been meticulously transformed into a spacious and bright oasis. By prioritizing additional storage and leveraging the existing skylight, the space underwent a remarkable renovation without the need for significant structural changes. The skylight was maximized to its full potential by surrounding it with pristine white walls, creating an airy and luminous atmosphere. The introduction of a luxurious marble shower not only adds a touch of sophistication but also contributes to the overall cleanliness and sophistication of the space. Soft gray cabinets and warm wood accents were strategically incorporated to create a bathroom with a serene and welcoming ambiance, evoking a sense of tranquility and comfort. Every detail was meticulously considered, from the placement of storage solutions to the selection of materials, ensuring that the remodeled bathroom exudes both functionality and elegance.
The result is a blend of style and practicality, where every aspect of the design works in harmony to create a serene sanctuary where relaxation and rejuvenation are effortlessly embraced.
