This nautical foyer was inspired by the clients collection of heirlooms from their families boat. We are able to salvage the life preserver and protect it for years to come in an acrylic case.

This beautiful wood mantel is decorated with a collection of different height accessories and colors to add interest. Yellow daisies really show the yellow color of the walls and the cobalt blue vase is the perfect accent to them. The trio of candles in the center are in square holders with a band showing the family monogram. Lighting from above the mirror makes the mantel and its decorations glow with welcoming warmth. The combination commands attention from everyone who enters. John Magor Photography

Featured in Galerie Magazine, this formerly Mediterranean-style house in Sausalito was completely transformed into a bold, contemporary home with sweeping views of the bay. The strong and sensitive design collaboration between Nicole Hollis and John Lum was perfectly executed to frame the owner’s extensive art and furniture collection. Appointed throughout with custom architectural metal and woodwork touches, this home features a centerpiece cantilevered steel and oak stair and double steel and glass bridges.

Our clients wanted their home to be host to charity functions, community events, and their family and friends, as well as a showcase for their eclectic and colorful art collection featuring works by local Oakland artists. Oh, and when they moved in, they did the work to register the house as an Oakland Historical Landmark. The fact that the couple was looking to upgrade their living room in the Hollywood Regency style (which is known for bold colors, shiny metallics, luxe fabrics, and an eye to mixing opulence with comfort while holding true to the glamor of 1930s Hollywood) made this project all the more inspiring and fun for me and my team. John recalls, “We wanted a place that was glamorous, and compelling, so that people who visit would be excited and inspired by it!” Our mission was to bring the very grand living room with its high ceilings and leaded glass bay windows to the next level for the family (including grown children Tom and Mandela) and their guests — ranging in number from 6 to 60 or more, on any given day or night. The Hollywood Regency aesthetic was a perfect canvas for mixing and matching with the couple’s significant and hyper-local pop art collection, including pieces by famed Oakland artists Mel Ramos and K-Dub. Kim and John’s personal views and aesthetics, together with their vibrant art collection, called for a bold design that is more funky and eclectic overall than many owners of historic homes like this tend to prefer. I mean, don’t get me wrong; many of our clients like to do something a little daring, and often they opt for elements of glam. However, John and Kim agreeing to our specification of a pair of peacock blue sofas — that is no small commitment to audacious color! Another furnishing element I love from this project is the custom-designed birds-eye-maple and antique glass inset bar — on wheels, which allows flexibility: a bartender can serve a large party from behind it or it can be turned around for use as self-service for a more intimate gathering. My team and I couldn’t be more proud to have created a design that inspires and supports this family so that they may continue to make significant contributions to their causes and community.

The owners of this colonial style home wanted to combine two adjacent small baths into one grand bathroom. The result was a beautiful master bath with soft blue and white marble that pairs wonderfully with an open gran mahogany vanity. The vanity's touch-latched mirrors are one of many product niches designed to minimize clutter. Opposite the bathtub is a half-wall shower that allows light to trickle in while maintaining privacy.
