Located in Newport Beach’s coveted Port Streets, this family home was taken down to the studs and completely reimagined to create a layered, detail-rich forever home. We expanded key living spaces — including the kitchen and primary bathroom — to enhance both functionality and everyday luxury. Throughout the home, thoughtfully curated moments bring personality and warmth. From the beautifully wallpapered dining room to the checkerboard marble laundry room, each space was designed to feel timeless yet distinctive. Living spaces and bathrooms were individually styled using a cohesive palette of blues, greens, and warm browns — creating a sense of flow while allowing each room its own identity. The result is a thoughtfully tailored home that blends classic design with family-centered living in one of Newport Beach’s most beloved neighborhoods. This home was featured in the 2026 Corona del Mar Home Tour.

The built-in bench provides a practical and stylish spot for putting on shoes, adding both comfort and functionality to the entryway.

This project was created for a young couple. They like traditional interiors, but they also wanted their home to look young and "cool". The result was this unique collaboration that was inspired by a large glass mosaic with attitude! Since all of the glass tiles that together create the "in your face" woman in the mosaic, we decided to continue the pixellation theme throughout the room. The chairs are blue leather with fabric backs in a Robert Allen contract fabric. Their DR will handle some use and still look clean and fresh! The painting over the DR fireplace has a cheeky edge that "distorts" space. We selected a mosaic trim for the edges of the Holland and Sherry wool drapes. A oversized chandelier made up of many pieces continues the mosaic concept; small pieces add up to a fabulous big picture. The project was installed while the couple was out of the country. They came home to a fully furnished home that was exactly what they had hoped it would be. Fun!

To create a beautiful focal point on a curved wall, we hand painted a starburst in bright yellow. This color scheme is continued throughout the entire shelter to lighten the space.

The open concept of this beautiful space creates a pleasant and relaxing environment. Several key elements are emphasized by walnut wood, such as the island cabinets, the veneers, and the amazing wine cellar, which instantly attracts attention. Speaking of eye-catchers, you’ve undoubtedly noticed the unique black matte polymer materials that cover some of the kitchen cabinets. Our designers have gone a step further and chose to add TIP-ON touch latch technology to cabinet doors and drawers in order to remove any handles and to make opening and closing easy.
