Right from the beginning it was evident that this Coquitlam Renovation was unique. It’s first impression was memorable as immediately after entering the front door, just past the dining table, there was a tree growing in the middle of home! Upon further inspection of the space it became apparent that this home had undergone several alterations during its lifetime...A home that was once pieced together now flows seamlessly from one space to the next. This home is a direct reflection of the homeowner’s vivid personality. There are so many details that can be the topic of conversation and we are so happy we had the opportunity to work with these clients.

A vintage bench made from car parts accents the contemporary wood and brown steel staircase. Contemporary artwork reminds guests to relax. This unique focal point is always a topic of conversation when the homeowners entertain. The open floor plan connects this seating area to the adjacent media room and kitchenette. The family dog would also argue that this would be a great alternative to traditional dog beds!

LA is known for its urban sprawl. Rows and rows of single story bungalows stretching out into the desert, only interrupted to make way for freeways and shopping centers. People have flocked here for the endless sunshine and opportunity. And here we are, over two centuries later with more people living in LA than ever and we have run out of places to house them all. The housing shortage in LA and California is a hot topic.
The Butler Co-Living Apartments are our take on addressing the need for more housing. Take an existing 1950’s 8-unit apartment, strip it back, divide it up and create a whole new-to-LA concept: Co-Living. 32 micro-efficient suites that allow occupants to live independently while sharing basic amenities. A kitchen for all, but private suites and well appointed bathrooms for each. A new take on apartment living, conveniently located by colleges, public transportation, and entertainment and shopping destinations; this is LA after all.

Upon entering the home from the screened porch, MOSS installed floor to ceiling semi-custom cabinetry to be used as a sort of butler’s pantry to store kitchen items, additional entertainment ware, guests’ coats, cleaning equipment and supplies, and more. The use of the unique green tone was a beautiful touch as the color green is used throughout the home’s updated décor and brings a sense of unity to the overall space. Immediately off the long hallway is the home’s kitchen, which was completely updated. Square footage was not affected but MOSS re-designed the space so that it could be used in a more functional manner. A massive kitchen island with a beautiful soapstone countertop dominates the room. Semi-custom white cabinetry lines the perimeters. New large windows provide an incredible view of the yard. Finally, a seating area with built-ins was added to supply more space for seating and for the dining room table to be moved from the center of the kitchen, previously, to the side. The kitchen also features a beautiful fireplace which had its wooden surround updated. The home’s sunroom, located next to the kitchen, was previously a few feet lower than the rest of the home. To bring a better flow to the space, MOSS raised the entire floor of the room up to meet the rest of the main level. Stunningly, the hardwood floor matches to a “T”. In the home’s living room and office, full wall built-ins were added, allowing the homeowners to display their favorite books on topics ranging from art to history, as well as showcasing statues and art sculptures and other items that are meaningful to their family. The living room fireplace’s stone and wooden surrounds were updated by MOSS as well.

Philharmonic Design House - 2014, The Strands in Dana Point, CA
Master Bedroom, Venetian Plastered Ceiling in "Papyrus" texture
Dana Point, CA
Interior Designer, Beth Whitlinger, www.bwid.com
When the Interior Designer described the wall covering as being a silver leafed pattern along with oodles of sumptuous natural fiber fabrics on the bedding, chairs, and window treatments, this plaster finish came to mind as being the perfect invention of richness and texture to be in relationship with the rhythm of natural linens and silks in this significant House of Design space. The color was chosen to coordinate with the natural stone of the fireplace, the glint and gleam of the burnished cross-hatched Venetian Plaster was meant to support the bling Beth brought into this room through the chandelier and the headboard wall and other more subtle details.
This ceiling finish, so I was told by one of the docents, was one of the top three talked about topics of this magnificent space. I was glad to hear, as this was a finish designed and mixed up in my artist's workshop with the confidence it would do the trick. The overall design was impeccable as delivered by the very talented Beth Whitlinger.
I sincerely hope to perform this finish again and again. It is quite remarkably unique as well as a beautiful backdrop to rich decor.
Please visit our project files for more views of the multitudes of award-winning specialty venetian plasters, Trompe L'oeil, faux finishes, wall glaze, painted furniture and custom art commissions on canvas we have performed over the years.

A custom home built in the 1990's and located in the Polo Reserve is just a stones throw away from the historic polo field. This California based couple moved to Littleton and the owners hired MOTIF refresh every room in the house. A great room, study, master suite, reading room, guestroom, custom his and hers closets, dining room, kitchen refresh, laundry room update, a basement entertaining space and a home gym were all included. Integrating the owner's furnishings from a home in California, with new design elements create a lovely and elegant backdrop for this retired couple to live..
A slice of a fallen red wood tree in northern California was the inspiration for this lovely custom coffee table -- the centerpiece of this grand room. 2 story high ceilings, a large wall of windows, an overlooking balcony and collections of items from world travels provide plenty of topics for interesting conversation as the owners gather here with friends.
