Ernesto Santalla was approached to create a new home for two Washington, DC lawyers wishing to downsize their living space. The move took them from a row house in Washington's historic Dupont Circle neighborhood to a two bedroom apartment in the vibrant, up-and-coming U Street Corridor. Our task was to transform a rather plain and generic apartment into a custom, sophisticated space in a few strategic moves. Ceiling details serve to define functional areas of the living space without creating divisions. Changing some doors from wood to frosted glass, creates a sense of continuity between spaces, and allows light to travel between spaces. Lighting was inserted strategically, to enhance certain functions of the home. The kitchen was partially enclosed with a plane of frosted glass to create visual separation from the main living space while still allowing natural light to filter in from the expansive wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Color was used to reinforce the architectural intent and simplify spaces, such as the entry, which as many doors and frames. Furniture was selected to blend with the client's collection of heirloom pieces, creating a sophisticated juxtaposition. Statement pieces like a ceiling light from Viabizzuno create impact while maintaining the visual simplicity of our minimal approach.

Faux/Glazed Walls, Antiqued Mantle, Marbelized Hearth, Painted Moldings Living Room, Lido Island, Newport Beach, CA Interior Designer, the late Steve Stein, SLS Designs, Inc. of Laguna Beach, CA I always loved working with Steve Stein. His designs were impeccable. He loved to add subtle glazings and details in oh-so-natural tones and shades as to light the room with an ambience that said "comfortable" Wall Glazing can be quite nice and subtle. In this home, with the exception of sofas and chairs, there wasn't much of anything in terms of art & antiquities under 400 years old. My clients wanted something richer than basic wall color as a backdrop to their lifestyle and artistic choices. I tend to love the elegance of the very movement in this suede-like finish. The newly fabricated fireplace mantle & hearth were antiqued and marbleized to suit the strong, solid feel of the vintage pieces. The crown moldings were treated with a mult-layer painted furniture technique to help juxtapose the old with the new. Please visit our project files for more views into what can be done in the backdrops of fine design with special finishes, faux painting, wall glazing, trompe l'oeil artwork, gilding, venetian plasters and so much more.

This custom shower curtain uses fabric from the adjacent guest bedroom to tie the two rooms together. The beautiful cornice board top treatment hides the shower curtain rod, and the striped tiebacks and banding fabric balance the bold top treatment.

Rather than remodel this powder room, we update it with paint and an elegant window treatment on an oil-rubbed bronze rod to compliment the sink fixtures.

Silk elegance! But realize that if you want the luxurious look of pure silk, you need to interline the drapery with an added layer of flannel and back the panel with drapery lining. The silk will literally disintegrate in sunlight if you don't double line the treatment. I add plush linings to all of my custom window treatments - the lining makes the treatment!
