Search results for "Troubles" in Home Design Ideas

Our clients are always teaching us. In this case, our clients had a vision that changed the direction of the design process midstream. Often our clients tell us they have trouble visualizing. This time, we must admit, we had a little trouble visualizing how their big idea was better than what we were planning. And then, it clicked!
This young family of five had outgrown their dark and dated kitchen. Food prep, cooking and baking play a large daily role in this home. Pantry storage was overflowing to the point where bulk ingredients, small appliances and other daily necessities were stored in a nearby closet and the laundry room at the end of the house. Counter space was scarce. The kitchen also served as an office area for the husband, who works from home, and a study area for the three school age children. Given some constraints and a fixed budget, our inclination was to work with the existing kitchen to design a much more efficient space, keeping it close to the laundry room/pantry, which could be maximized for convenient storage and access. We would create an organized work area within the kitchen as well. Our clients were happy with the design. Then, out of the blue, they announced that they would like to move the kitchen into the family room space! Our first reaction was to question how this could work being so far from the pantry storage areas, and the other living spaces of the home. The flow seemed as though it would be odd, but we heard them out and allowed some time for the idea to blossom. And blossom, it did. The existing kitchen and eating space became the new study and family room with enlarged windows and an added sliding door bringing their beautiful gardens into clear sight. The pantry dilemma was solved by adding a full wall of tall cabinetry with roll out storage flanking a beautiful fireplace. A large island with waterfall sides provides copious counter space and seating for the whole family. Dark, dated traditional styling of the past kitchen gave way to contemporary high gloss white and warm rosewood elements. The dramatic Dekton Aura backsplash is the icing on the cake!

This customer wanted to create a dog-friendly yard for his three dogs, and also create a putting green that would be great for entertaining his golf friends. The yard was brown and having trouble thriving because of the dogs, so the homeowner wanted a solution that would provide lasting durability without tons of upkeep. Using a total of 7,000 square feet of artificial grass, the ForeverLawn NEO team created two areas—one small and one large—for the dogs using K9Grass® synthetic turf, as well as a secluded, professional-grade putting green using GolfGreens™ synthetic turf. Something unique about this green is that the customer wanted putting tiers so that he could challenge himself when practicing. To finish off the property, we also installed an artificial grass walkway that leads to the pool yard.

Whitehaus Vintage III Single Lever Kitchen Faucet with Side Spray
The Vintage III faucets have been re - engineered to be tougher and more reliable. Stronger and larger joints throughout ensure solid construction for a lifetime of service. The new improved diverter matched to the Whitehaus Collection time tested solid brass side spray will providfe substantial improvement in daily use. The stream guide has been replaced with a trouble free aerator providing smooth, regulated 2.2 GPM flow. The Vintage III... improved on the inside without changing the classic good looks on the outside.

We choose to highlight this project because even though it is a more traditional design style its light neutral color palette represents the beach lifestyle of the south bay. Our relationship with this family started when they attended one of our complimentary educational seminars to learn more about the design / build approach to remodeling. They had been working with an architect and were having trouble getting their vision to translate to the plans. They were looking to add on to their south Redondo home in a manner that would allow for seamless transition between their indoor and outdoor space. Design / Build ended up to be the perfect solution to their remodeling need.
Our homeowners wanted something that felt light and warm and they were looking to open up their floor plan. We wanted to design around the existing beautiful hand painted cove molding but still give the home a completely new look. We started with the accordion doors, allowing their yard to be a picturesque backdrop. Living by the beach, the elements are harder on exterior surfaces. So we used a composite decking material which gives you the feel of natural wood without the maintenance.

The Venus is a chair that perfectly mixes a unique modern design with spacious reclining capability that will leave all those who sit in it mesmerized and relaxed by its charming appeal and cushioned comfort. Custom made in Spain by world-renowned manufacturer Famaliving, this recliner is solidly built with quality materials. Its frame incorporates solid pine wood and MDF for added durability. Unlike other furniture built with the old spring design that sags over time, the Venus uses a special webbing system for its suspension and support that is extremely long-lasting and sturdy. The Venus can also be upholstered in a wide range of colored or patterned fabrics - over 600 options to choose from, which means you shouldn’t have any trouble matching your home’s decor. Attached to the bottom is a circular swivel base that not only gives the chair its swivel capabilities, but also a low profile look. And you have the option of designing the Venus with manual or motorized reclining functionality.

A former client came to us to renovate her cramped master bathroom into a serene, spa-like setting. Armed with an inspiration photo from a magazine, we set out and commissioned a local, custom furniture maker to produce the cabinetry. The hand-distressed reclaimed wormy chestnut vanities and linen closet bring warmth to the space while the painted shiplap and white glass countertops brighten it up. Handmade subway tiles welcome you into the bright shower and wood-look porcelain tile offers a practical flooring solution that still softens the space. It’s not hard to imagine yourself soaking in the deep freestanding tub letting your troubles melt away.
