The kitchen in this 1950’s home needed a complete overhaul. It was dark, outdated and inefficient. The homeowners wanted to give the space a modern feel without losing the 50’s vibe that is consistent throughout the rest of the home. The homeowner’s needs included: - Working within a fixed space, though reconfiguring or moving walls was okay - Incorporating work space for two chefs - Creating a mudroom - Maintaining the existing laundry chute - A concealed trash receptacle The new kitchen makes use of every inch of space. To maximize counter and cabinet space, we closed in a second exit door and removed a wall between the kitchen and family room. This allowed us to create two L shaped workspaces and an eat-in bar space. A new mudroom entrance was gained by capturing space from an existing closet next to the main exit door. The industrial lighting fixtures and wrought iron hardware bring a modern touch to this retro space. Inset doors on cabinets and beadboard details replicate details found throughout the rest of this 50’s era house.

RUSTIC GLAM Time Frame: 5 Weeks // Budget: $16,000 // Design Fee: $1,250 After purchasing a new home in north Upland, this young couple enlisted me to help create a warm, relaxing environment in their living/dining space. They didn’t want anything too fussy or formal. They wanted a comfortable space to entertain, play cards and watch TV. I had a good foundation of dark wood floors and grey walls to work with. Everything else was newly purchased. Instead of a formal dining room, they requested a more relaxed space to hang out with friends. I had a custom L-shaped banquette made in a slate blue velvet and a glamorous statement chandelier installed for a wow factor. The bench came as part of the table set, but I had it reupholstered in the same fabric as the banquette. A ceiling fan and a new entry light were installed to reinforce the rustic vibe. Elegant, yet comfortable furnishings were purchased, custom 2 finger pleat drapes in an oatmeal fabric were hung, and accessories and decor were layered in to create a “lived-in” feeling. Overall, the space is now a great place to relax and hang out with family and friends.

This beautiful bathroom remodel involved demoing the toilet closet to open up the room. A large tub was demoed to allow the walk in shower to be built. The bathroom no longer has a dated look. It shines bright with the beautiful tile liners and glossy tile. The vanity has dark StarMark Cabinets and beautiful countertops. This bathroom shines as a fantastic example of a modern upgrade.

This beautiful patio cover over an L-Shaped roof line is only possible with the SkyLift Hardware brackets. This outdoor living space brings the patio cover and view to life. The homeowner stated that they can only see their view because SkyLift Hardware truly "raises the roof" over the horizon.

The All Things Barbecue outdoor kitchen team worked with our clients to create a smart, functional outdoor kitchen in an unused corner of the deck. The L-shape makes an efficient work zone. The powerful duo of American made grills - the Yoder Smokers YS640s built-in pellet grill and the Delta Heat built-in gas grill - gives the homeowner options for creating great food for family and friends. The pantry between the two cookers is sealed to keep out dust, water and bugs, so cooking tools, serving items and seasonings can be kept outside next to the grills.

A custom interpretation of a classic L-shaped form, this staircase begins with a soft curve at its base, transitions across a central landing, and continues in a clean, straight run to the upper level. Nutty brown oak treads, paired with a matching handrail and box newels, create a sense of continuity with the surrounding hardwood floors. Crisp white risers introduce contrast and lightness, allowing the structure to feel open and balanced. Slender square iron balusters bring a tailored rhythm to the composition, offering a quiet counterpoint to the warmth of the wood. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

Built on Frank Sinatra’s estate, this custom home was designed to be a fun and relaxing weekend retreat for our clients who live full time in Orange County. As a second home and playing up the mid-century vibe ubiquitous in the desert, we departed from our clients’ more traditional style to create a modern and unique space with the feel of a boutique hotel. Classic mid-century materials were used for the architectural elements and hard surfaces of the home such as walnut flooring and cabinetry, terrazzo stone and straight set brick walls, while the furnishings are a more eclectic take on modern style. We paid homage to “Old Blue Eyes” by hanging a 6’ tall image of his mug shot in the entry.
