his brand-new custom home in Granada Hills, CA was brought to life from the ground up by Dream Construction Inc., with our team overseeing the complete construction process from the initial stages through final finishes. Designed with a sophisticated modern aesthetic, the home features striking architectural lines, a clean stucco exterior, dramatic black-framed windows and doors, custom exterior lighting, and beautifully integrated hardscape and landscaping. The impressive covered entry creates a warm and inviting arrival while giving the home a distinctive contemporary presence. Inside, the residence continues the modern design with open, light-filled living spaces, high ceilings, custom cabinetry, premium flooring, contemporary bathrooms, designer lighting, and carefully selected finishes throughout. Large windows and doors bring natural light deep into the home while creating a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces. Beyond the main residence, the existing garage was completely converted into an ADU, adding a separate and highly functional living space to the property. The ADU was designed to complement the main home while maximizing the property's usable square footage and long-term versatility. Our scope included the complete construction process, including site preparation, foundation and framing, structural work, roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, interior and exterior finishes, cabinetry, flooring, tile, fixtures, hardscape, landscaping, and the garage-to-ADU conversion. The finished property showcases what thoughtful custom construction can achieve: bold modern architecture, warm and comfortable interiors, beautiful craftsmanship, and efficient use of the entire property. From the illuminated exterior at sunset to the smallest interior details, every element was designed and built to create a polished, cohesive home.

This timeless mid-century ensuite bathroom was part of a large second-story addition completed for these homeowners. With a strong focus on both function and style, we prioritized ample storage while creating a serene and luxurious retreat. The design effortlessly unites classic elements with modern touches, resulting in a bathroom that is both practical and visually striking. The spacious walk-in shower takes center stage, showcasing a sleek solid surface surround, a comfortable corner bench, and conveniently placed corner shelves to neatly store essentials. The frameless glass shower, paired with oil-rubbed bronze hardware, elevates the space with blend of modern refinement and timeless appeal. The toilet closet, hidden with a pocket door, provides privacy while maintaining the open, airy feel of the space. The large double vanity, finished in a bold navy blue, adds a contemporary pop. It’s complemented by a crisp white quartz countertop and backsplash, which bring a refreshing brightness to the room. To maximize natural light, a large window, skylight, and sun tunnel were thoughtfully integrated, filling the space with warmth and a sense of openness. The subtle shower surround, with its delicate interplay of white, grey, and blue hues, draws on the color palette throughout the room for a cohesive look. The warm honey oak luxury vinyl plank floors add texture and durability, offering a waterproof solution that complements the rich oak wood doors and casing. These elements frame and ground the eye-catching navy cabinetry, balancing the room’s aesthetic with warmth and sophistication. The completed design is a harmonious bathroom addition that combines luxury and functionality, maximizing space, light, and storage while maintaining classic elegance.

This kitchen epitomizes traditional elegance with its thoughtfully curated features and warm, inviting tones. The space centers around a cherry wood island with a dark stain, paired beautifully with antique white cabinetry finished with a delicate coffee glaze, creating a timeless two-tone aesthetic. The stacked Dura Supreme cabinets, crowned with elegant molding, offer ample storage while showcasing intricate craftsmanship. A chimney hood takes center stage above the gas rangetop, blending seamlessly with the refined tile backsplash and intricate tile mosaic accents. The granite countertops provide both practicality and a touch of classic sophistication. Glass cabinet doors introduce an airy element, reflecting light to enhance the warm creme tones throughout. Bar stools nestled by the small island offer a cozy gathering spot, while stainless steel appliances, including double ovens, add a sleek, modern contrast. Drawer knobs and details from the Kitchens of Diablo design team complete the polished look. Set against the richness of a wood floor, this kitchen radiates charm and functionality in equal measure.

Dining Room in Rolling Hills Dr | Transitional New Build in Cave Creek, AZ | Room Type: Whole Home Furnishings | Project Name: Rolling Hills Dr | Key Feature: A fully furnished transitional home designed to feel sophisticated and collected without being precious, so the clients could actually live in it and have their grandkids over without a second thought. Challenge: The clients had just completed a new build and needed a home that reflected their taste and life stage. They wanted something that felt elevated and intentional but not stiff or untouchable. The risk with transitional design at this level is that it can tip too far in either direction, ending up either too formal to live in or too casual to feel designed. Finding that balance in a brand new home with no existing character to work from is harder than it sounds. Solution: Living with Lolo furnished the entire home with pieces that layered sophistication with genuine comfort. Every selection was made with real life in mind, durable enough for grandkids, beautiful enough for entertaining, and cohesive enough to feel like a designer put it together rather than a furniture showroom. The transitional direction gave the home warmth and timelessness without leaning on trends that would feel dated in a few years. Materials: Transitional furnishings with a mix of natural textures, comfortable upholstery, layered rugs and textiles, and curated accessories sourced through Living with Lolo's trade relationships. Budget: $75,000 to $200,000 | Timeline: Approximately 3 to 6 months from design through installation.

This fully finished lower level was designed to extend the home’s livability while maintaining the same level of craftsmanship and intention found throughout the main living spaces. Every detail balances durability, comfort, and understated elegance—transforming what could be purely functional square footage into a true extension of the home. The entry and stair landing sets the tone with warm wood stair treads, soft neutral wall tones, and patterned tile flooring that adds visual interest while standing up to daily use. Recessed lighting keeps the space bright and welcoming, creating a seamless transition between levels. A private guest bedroom offers a quiet retreat, featuring plush carpeting, layered recessed lighting, and a modern ceiling fan for year-round comfort. Neutral finishes and clean lines create a calming environment suitable for guests or extended stays. The custom mudroom and storage area was designed with organization in mind, incorporating built-in cabinetry, open shelving, and durable work surfaces. This space provides an efficient drop zone while maintaining a polished, cohesive aesthetic. In the bathroom, modern simplicity takes center stage. Large-format tile, a frameless glass shower enclosure, and integrated shower niches deliver both style and function. A floating vanity paired with a round illuminated mirror adds a contemporary touch, while neutral materials keep the space timeless. The laundry and utility room blends practicality with thoughtful design, offering custom cabinetry, generous counter space, and durable flooring in a layout that makes everyday tasks feel effortless and organized.
