When this 6,000-square-foot vacation home suffered water damage in its family room, the homeowners decided it was time to update the interiors at large. They wanted an elegant, sophisticated, and comfortable style that served their lives but also required a design that would preserve and enhance various existing details. To begin, we focused on the timeless and most interesting aspects of the existing design. Details such as Spanish tile floors in the entry and kitchen were kept, as were the dining room's spirited marine-blue combed walls, which were refinished to add even more depth. A beloved lacquered linen coffee table was also incorporated into the great room's updated design. To modernize the interior, we looked to the home's gorgeous water views, bringing in colors and textures that related to sand, sea, and sky. In the great room, for example, textured wall coverings, nubby linen, woven chairs, and a custom mosaic backsplash all refer to the natural colors and textures just outside. Likewise, a rose garden outside the master bedroom and study informed color selections there. We updated lighting and plumbing fixtures and added a mix of antique and new furnishings. In the great room, seating and tables were specified to fit multiple configurations – the sofa can be moved to a window bay to maximize summer views, for example, but can easily be moved by the fireplace during chillier months.

The Elegant Sherman Oaks Bathroom Renovation was a dream project that allowed us to combine luxury with functionality. The homeowners wanted to upgrade their outdated bathroom into a spa-like retreat, drawing inspiration from modern elegance while incorporating traditional elements. We installed a freestanding soaking tub, a custom vanity with quartz countertops, and polished nickel fixtures to create a timeless aesthetic. Locally sourced tiles were used to craft a stunning walk-in shower with a frameless glass door, adding a touch of contemporary style while staying true to the Sherman Oaks vibe. Throughout the project, we worked closely with the homeowners, listening to their ideas and infusing personal touches, such as selecting the perfect soft blue color palette that reminds them of their favorite coastal vacations. Being based in Sherman Oaks ourselves, we took extra care to ensure this renovation would blend seamlessly with the home's character and the surrounding community. The result is a serene, elegant bathroom that has become the homeowners’ favorite room in the house.

Light and Airy shiplap bathroom was the dream for this hard working couple. The goal was to totally re-create a space that was both beautiful, that made sense functionally and a place to remind the clients of their vacation time. A peaceful oasis. We knew we wanted to use tile that looks like shiplap. A cost effective way to create a timeless look. By cladding the entire tub shower wall it really looks more like real shiplap planked walls. The center point of the room is the new window and two new rustic beams. Centered in the beams is the rustic chandelier.
