Take a look at our next renovation which started at the bottom… literally! Our clients’ dream was to have a stylish and relaxing space where they could unwind and entertain. Bring in the Bennett crew to get the job done!

The latest built-in surround sound with speakers from floor to ceiling provide a cinematic home audio experience like never before. Just outside the double doors, you are greeted by a luxurious home bar. This area exudes elegance and charm with the exquisite Cambria Skara Brae countertops, hand finished and distressed alder doors, and herringbone patterned tile. The custom walnut framed mirror adds the perfect final touch to the space. Just around the corner, you’ll find the convenience half bath. No more wet trips through the house from the pool! This strategically placed half bath is not only practical but also beautifully designed, ensuring a quick break during movie marathons or poolside gatherings. This basement transformation has been a fantastic journey, and we are so incredibly proud of the outcome. Swipe through the shots to get some inspiration for your next renovation!

A new-to-me realtor calls Tuesday mid-day asking about my services. The phone call quickly turned into a 'yes' but I mentioned unless I do this 'tomorrow', it couldn't get done until next week Tuesday or Wednesday due to other obligations.
It's in Cayucos, which poses another issue - do I make the trip up to preview (it's an hour away, do I have time), or can I get what I need off of the internet?
AND we had rain to contend with... it's never easy to stage in the rain.
Fortunately I'm a very spatially-minded person and could make my plans based on the existing internet photos. A girl needs her plans!
So Wednesday, between the spurts of rain, my sons and I spend all morning packing for this stage, and Wednesday afternoon / into evening my sons and I head out, unload, and stage this beautiful.... no..... GORGEOUS home ON THE WATER in Cayucos. WOW!!!
The boys told me upon arrival: 'We should buy this!' I'm thinking the same thing!
So, in retrospect, this stage was a vacant, sight-unseen home, and within about 24 hours went from realtor request to stage-done status.
Please forgive the darkness of the photos, it was 6:30 at night when we were done, it was dark!

IDS (Interior Designer Society) Designer of the Year - National Competition - 2nd Place award winning Bathroom ($30,000 & Under) - 2014
Photo by: Louis G. Weiner Photograpy -
My clients recently purchased this vacation home and quickly developed a design wish-list which included a full remodel of the master bathroom. This builder's-choice master bathroom might have been stylish and in when built in 1985, but 30 years later it has not stood the test of time.
First, we opened up the room by removing the heavy soffits and the excessive corner cabinetry. We designed a more streamline, floating vanity with beautiful quartz countertops and a waterfall edge. We expanded the footprint of the shower and created a seamless beach entry by removing the shower dam. Then we choose to wrap the room and adjacent commode with white subway tile and a custom marble border.
The most dramatic renovation was replacing the outdated jacuzzi tub with an elegant free-standing soaking tub. This was a must on the wish-list for the clients - not for the wife as you might expect - but for the husband. He is a motorcycle enthusiast and after long trips on his bike, he likes to take a soak.
Inspired to use art that tells a personal story about the clients, I recommended creating a photo canvas from a treasured picture of the husband standing with his motorcycle helmet on a beautiful desert road. This final touch connects my clients to their space and makes them smile every time they see it.

To create the airy Key West feel, a vaulted ceiling was added in the great room by redistributing the roof load with an 8’x18’ engineered ridge beam for support.

Tucked inside a wooded lot, the Portside features an exterior rich with low rooflines, paired porch columns, and private motor court. Organized around the kitchen, the homes major public spaces, feature plenty of access to a shaded southern exposure. Buffered by a half bath and laundry room, the Master Suite is a quiet retreat complete with a pair of walk in closets, tiled bathroom with curbless shower, and a private sitting room. The open floor plan visually connects the dining, living, den, and open stairwell back to the expansive kitchen island. A trip downstairs quickly reveals the many activities the client’s passion for entertainment. The real showstopper is the lower level refreshment area. Made from a repurposed bow of a vintage Chris-Craft boat, this wet bar, is flanked by a pair of pub height stools and is sheltered above by the ceiling from a 1963 Chris-Craft yacht. Anchoring the upstairs is a spacious craft center organized around a large island flanked on three sides by custom cabinetry.

**Concrete Step Restoration & Your Entire To-Do List Done! ???️**
Start by fixing those crumbling, cracked, or settling concrete steps that have become an eyesore and a dangerous tripping hazard, and let us take care of the rest in one seamless visit. With our Ultimate Handyman Block, your professional will kick off the day with a quick property walkthrough to prioritize your exact needs. We will dive straight into carefully chipping away the loose debris, properly prepping the surface, and flawlessly applying high-strength concrete patch or resurfacer so your entryway or walkway is safe, rock-solid, and looks freshly poured. Once your concrete steps are perfectly restored, we will use the rest of your reserved session to tackle whatever else is weighing on your mind—from mounting heavy TVs and patching drywall to upgrading door hardware and repairing fences. Professional-grade consumables are fully included in the service, and if your project requires specialty masonry bonding agents, specific non-slip concrete sealers, or custom decorative caps, we source them for you and pass the items on with zero markup. It is the ultimate, stress-free way to finally catch up on those nagging repairs and get your property back to 100% in a single day.
