The street door opens into a small, pale blue living room filled with an oversize, mushy, pale pink linen sectional sofa and an eclectic mix of bits and bobs. On the wall is a cherished photo of Juen and Johnny Cash. Everything is lit with a teeny-tiny modest-but-powerful center light fitting. Photo Credit: Amy Neunsinger

The sewing room has Pearl Lowe lace curtains and a vintage wallpaper on one wall, giving a beautiful, luxurious accent to this functional and inspirational space. The room was on the sweet side so the frayed rug contributes a grittier aesthetic. Photo Credit: Amy Neunsinger

The bathroom is a teeny-tiny precious place, humble but hugely practical. We added a boho flea market mirror, folksy blue detail, and a new marble slab. Photo Credit: Amy Neunsinger

A few months after moving into this aging 2200 s.f. 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath Spanish bungalow, a creative couple decided to renovate to better fit their lifestyle. In phase one, we demo-ed the entire downstairs to create a sunny, open-concept living area with a bar, kitchen, and dining. We also added built-in storage and a powder room, to make the home more functional. When we finished this space, not only did the rooms flow into each other, but the new interior stucco flowed throughout the house. The stucco curved around corners and the edges of ceilings, forming a seamless fireplace mantle and hood, arched passageways, and hollow storage nooks. Phase two included replacing rotting wooden doors and windows with aluminum windows and new French doors. We installed a bubble-gum pink front door with simple cut-outs that, combined with the sensual stucco, imbued a hint of coastal art deco, a la Miami. We re-stuccoed the home’s exterior and resurfaced the polished concrete roof deck. Now the former Spanish bungalow is as bright, eclectic, playful, and immediate as Venice Beach itself. Its vibe is part-vintage twee, part California contemporary, with a hint of Mediterranean in the exterior entry tire. But even with these varied influences, the space feels cohesive, clean, and airy. It’s a unique home that radiates the values (health, wellbeing, originality, and good times) of its inhabitants.

This is the hallway from the garage. Note the energy-efficient LED strips in the upper cabinets providing plenty of light behind the glass and below. These are rated at 2700k which provides a color similar to incandescent lighting. Design solutions included creating a great prep space with Taj Mahal countertops that provides excellent space for work but the area is completely hidden from the point of view from the great room. Another design solution to note is the hidden door to the pantry at the far right side of the cabinetry. Behind the door is a full pantry with an ice maker, wine room and refrigerator. Beautifully appointed custom home near Venice Beach, FL. Designed with the south Florida cottage style that is prevalent in Naples. Every part of this home is detailed to show off the work of the craftsmen that created it.
