Woods Custom Kitchens
Kitchen - traditional kitchen idea in Sacramento

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.

A narrow, uninspired hallway can easily become a forgotten space in a home, but with thoughtful design choices, it can be transformed into a striking and functional passageway. The key goal was to balance visual interest with proportion, ensuring the space felt inviting rather than cramped. One of the most effective ways our client’s goal was achieved was through the use of graphic prints. Bold, oversized patterns in a crisp black and white free form design instantly helped to draw the eye along the length of the hall, creating a sense of movement and personality. The placement of this triptych collection of art also worked to break up the monotony of plain walls, adding depth and dimension without overwhelming the space. To complement the visual energy of the prints, a bombe chest was introduced as a statement piece. Its curvaceous silhouette contrasts beautifully with the straight lines of the hallway, softening the overall look. Chosen for its scale, the chest fits neatly against the wall without obstructing the walkway, while offering valuable storage for keys, mail, or seasonal décor. Its decorative hardware and rich finish add a layer of elegance, making it both a practical and aesthetic anchor in the space. A bench was also incorporated, selected with equal attention to proportion and purpose. Positioned directly under the three prints, it provided a convenient spot for slipping on shoes or setting down bags. The bench’s richly textured seagrass fiber also provided great balance against the graphic prints, tying the overall design together while enhancing comfort. Together, these elements—dynamic prints, a sculptural bombe chest, and a functional bench—turn a once-bland hallway into a stylish, welcoming corridor that feels intentional and lived-in.

These homeowners are ready for college football season with the addition of an ActivWall Gas Strut Window on their deck. The innovative window opens up and out to create a convenient pass-through and serving bar for game day entertaining. Hosts can set out appetizers and drinks on the bar for guests to enjoy and pass through ingredients and supplies for the nearby grill. The window creates a flexible space, allowing guests inside and outside the home to converse and enjoy each other’s company while eating and watching the game on TV. When the game day is over, the ActivWall Gas Strut Window can be pushed closed from the outside or closed from the inside using our optional Pull Hook.
