This basement was severely flooded due to a city water main busting and dumping water into the basement for over three hours straight. After water remediation, we completely gutted the basement, ripping out all carpet and stripping all the damaged wall areas down to the studs to be replaced. In the two bathrooms, we removed all the drywall so we could install new cement board. We replaced all the electrical outlets and switches. We replaced all the drywall (where necessary), replaced all doors, and installed all new custom tile flooring (DalTile – Acacia Valley – plank and DalTile – Carrera Lungard – hex). In the main bathroom, we installed a brand-new bathtub with custom tile shower walls (Interceramic – Solids In-Design – Gloss Graphite). We installed a new toilet and new floating Walnut Butcher Block vanity with vessel sink. The wall behind the vanity was finished with custom US Marble. In the master bathroom, we installed a new Aquatic Azra II soaker tub, new toilet, and new Bertch Interlude Hickory vanity with new vessel sinks and chrome faucets. We laid all brand-new tile in the shower (Interceramic – Tessuto – Ecru Gray), complete with a custom niche, and continued that tile around the entire bathroom. The floor was custom and hand cut to make the plank tiles match up with the hexagon tiles. The custom floor in the shower was made by cutting the plank floor tiles into small 3x3 tiles. We also added a walk-in closet and laundry room. In the laundry room, we replaced a previous entry door with an awning window.

Designed By: Richard Bustos Photos By: Chad Mellon It is practically unheard of in interior design—that, in a matter of four hours, the majority of furnishings, accessories, lighting and artwork could be selected for an entire 5,000-square-foot home. But that was exactly the story for Cantoni designer Richard Bustos and his clients, Karen and Mike Moran. The couple, who had purchased and were in the midst of gutting a home on the water in Newport Beach, California, knew what they wanted. Combined with Richard’s design assistance, it was a match made for swift decision-making and the resulting beautifully neutral, modern space. “We went into Cantoni in Irvine and fell in love with it—it was everything we liked,” Karen says. “Richard had the same vision we did, and we told him what we wanted, and he would direct us. He was on the same level.” Even more surprising: they selected the furnishings before the home’s bones were even complete. They had wanted a more contemporary vibe to capitalize on the expansive bay views and were in the midst of ripping out low ceilings and outdated spaces. “We wanted modern warmth,” Karen says. “Cantoni furniture was the perfect fit.” After their initial meeting, Richard met with the couple several times to take measurements and ensure pieces would fit. And they did—with elegant cohesion. In the living room, they leaned heavily on the Fashion Affair collection by Malerba, which is exclusive to Cantoni in the U.S. He flanked the Fashion Affair sofa in ivory leather with the Fashion Affair club chairs in taupe leather and the ivory Viera area rug to create a sumptuous textural mix. In the center, he placed the brown-glossed Fashion Affair low cocktail table and Fashion Affair occasional table for ease of entertaining and conversation. A punch of glamour came by way of a set of Ravi table lamps in gold-glazed porcelain set on special-ordered Fashion Affair side tables. The Harmony floor sculpture in black stone and capiz shell was brought in for added interest. “Because of the grand scale of the living room—with high ceilings and numerous windows overlooking the water—the pieces in the space had to have more substance,” Richard says. “They are heavier-scaled than traditional modern furnishings, and in neutral tones to allow the architectural elements, such as a glass staircase and elevator, to be the main focal point.” The trio settled on the Fashion Affair extension table in brown gloss with a bronze metal arc base in the formal dining area, and flanked it with eight Arcadia high-back chairs. “We like to have Sunday dinners with our large family, and now we finally have a big dining-room table,” Karen says. The master bedroom also affords bay views, and they again leaned heavily on neutral tones with the M Place California-king bed with chrome accents, the M Place nightstand with M Place table lamps, the M Place bench, Natuzzi’s Anteprima chair and a Scoop accent table. “They were fun, happy, cool people to work with,” Richard says. One of the couple’s favorite spaces—the family room—features a remote-controlled, drop-down projection screen. For comfortable viewing, Richard paired the Milano sectional (with a power recliner) with the Sushi round cocktail table, the Lambrea accent table, and a Ravi table lamp in a gold metallic snakeskin pattern. “Richard was wonderful, was on top of it, and was a great asset to our team,” Karen says. Mike agrees. “Richard was a dedicated professional,” he says. “He spent hours walking us through Cantoni making suggestions, measuring, and offering advice on what would and wouldn’t work. Cantoni furniture was a natural fit.”

David McKibben August 17 · This project was fun....The wife wanted modern, the husband wanted traditional....and they wanted to redo the entire house...We ripped out the stair case in the entry, gutted the kitchen, guest bathroom, master bathroom, dining room, put in new hardwood floors everywhere, finished the basement. Adding the floor to ceiling stone fireplace and the coffered ceiling made the living room look so big! I love that the homeowners let me guide them through the entire process. From fixtures to pillows, this was a fun project!
