When we embarked on designing this Santa-Barbara style townhome located on Craig Ranch’s prestigious 17th green, we immediately started visualizing the modern improvements we would make to reflect the clients’ true style. Lighting throughout the home was first on the list, then came floor coverings, wall coverings, and furnishings! Introducing brighter colors, modern frames, and bold patterns were key to balance out the heavier dark wood elements of both the home’s original architecture and some of the client’s existing pieces. Whimsical touches, elegant appointments, and sophisticated style are prevalent throughout this new modernized abode. creating a fresh feel in each room.

This model home in Rotunda, FL has an outstanding entryway using a soffit crown molding at top, and window sills made to sit in the brick veneer to the left of the entry. Our foam ledge caps, column bases, and column caps enhance the striking square entry columns even more. This house is a good example of how foam can integrate with the popular cultured stack stone that is prevalent in the industry today.

The biggest challenge with creating a completely new kitchen design for this project was blending the design to fit in with the owners taste in wood finishes, art, and modern architecture, which is prevalent throughout the home. The old kitchen was dark with poor lighting and gray cabinetry with awkward angles. The new kitchen is vibrant with plentiful lighting, modern fixtures, and blends different wood finishes to compliment the style of the home. The owner complimented that “the kitchen seems as if it has always been here!”

Succulents so prevalent they are often thought to be native to Los Angeles sit in contained gardens at poolside. This allows them to be protected when the garden's temperatures drop below their preferred temperature or receive "too much" rain. They also add a nice pop of color!

Two-Toned Cabinets This trend has been going strong for the last couple of years and this year its more prevalent than ever. Two-toned cabinets are a great design feature that helps add some variety to your kitchen space. You will typically see the bottom cabinets have the darker color. Blues and grays are common, buyer-friendly choices. We also have seen wood-grained cabinets on the bottom with white cabinets on top.

A French-Normandy style home surrounded by traditional gardens and modern amenities, this was a restoration planned to match the home. The gardens are formal, with straight lines and perfect hedges, with a fountain as a focal point in the most formal garden. Expansive lawns on different levels are also prevalent. Spaces are connected with paths: some formal, some rustic, and some covered. And of course there is a living room with fireplace, an outdoor kitchen and dining area, a pool with a pergola for shade, and a vegetable garden as part of the design. With the extensive space still available there will be additions to the design in the future. Photo Credit: Linda Oyama Bryan
