This bright, welcoming kitchen balances crisp white cabinetry with warm granite countertops and a rich espresso-toned island. The space is energized by natural light pouring in through large windows and grounded by a bold navy accent wall. Sleek pendant lighting, stainless steel appliances, and a subtle chevron backsplash complete the clean, modern feel.

Master bath of this remodeled Victorian features Carrara marble tiles and a honed granite countertop.

This adorable beach cottage is in the heart of the village of La Jolla in San Diego. The goals were to brighten up the space and be the perfect beach get-away for the client whose permanent residence is in Arizona. Some of the ways we achieved the goals was to place an extra high custom board and batten in the great room and by refinishing the kitchen cabinets (which were in excellent shape) white. We created interest through extreme proportions and contrast. Though there are a lot of white elements, they are all offset by a smaller portion of very dark elements. We also played with texture and pattern through wallpaper, natural reclaimed wood elements and rugs. This was all kept in balance by using a simplified color palate minimal layering. I am so grateful for this client as they were extremely trusting and open to ideas.

This guest bedroom is a bold statement with its pink and navy color scheme. The patterned drapes set the place in line with a nice floral. The pink bed stools provide the perfect place to take a set alongside the curved front navy dresser. The unique abstract art above the bed gives the room a completed feel.

A harmonious blend of rustic and refined, the warm palette of natural materials and finishes like beautifully aged white oak floors, seedy glass transoms and classic built-ins, create a relaxed space that never loses its polished sense of style. Photography credit: Ashley Avila
