Bedroom - mid-sized transitional master dark wood floor and brown floor bedroom idea in Orange County with blue walls, a standard fireplace and a tile fireplace

IDS (Interior Designer Society) Designer of the Year - National Competition - 2nd Place award winning Bathroom ($30,000 & Under) - 2014 Photo by: Louis G. Weiner Photograpy - My clients recently purchased this vacation home and quickly developed a design wish-list which included a full remodel of the master bathroom. This builder's-choice master bathroom might have been stylish and in when built in 1985, but 30 years later it has not stood the test of time. First, we opened up the room by removing the heavy soffits and the excessive corner cabinetry. We designed a more streamline, floating vanity with beautiful quartz countertops and a waterfall edge. We expanded the footprint of the shower and created a seamless beach entry by removing the shower dam. Then we choose to wrap the room and adjacent commode with white subway tile and a custom marble border. The most dramatic renovation was replacing the outdated jacuzzi tub with an elegant free-standing soaking tub. This was a must on the wish-list for the clients - not for the wife as you might expect - but for the husband. He is a motorcycle enthusiast and after long trips on his bike, he likes to take a soak. Inspired to use art that tells a personal story about the clients, I recommended creating a photo canvas from a treasured picture of the husband standing with his motorcycle helmet on a beautiful desert road. This final touch connects my clients to their space and makes them smile every time they see it.

Louis G Weiner Photography - No expense spared updating this elegant estate home with sensational unobstructed views in all directions. Features include a great room with soaring ceilings and 24' pocket glass doors to the loggia for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. Custom built-ins and dramatic stacked stone complete the fireplace wall. The spacious and upgraded gourmet kitchen features Professional Series Viking appliances, two dishwashers, wine beverage center and Subzero refrigerator. Cambria Quartz countertops, tile and stone backsplash and an abundance of upgraded cabinetry are a chef's delight with an adjacent formal dining and morning room. Two large bedroom suites feature spa bathrooms with dual vanities and custom closets. A charming guest casita is surrounded by a sparkling pool, spa, two fire features, fruit trees and lavish landscaping. This extraordinary Spanish jewel with a contemporary twist has been professionally designed and furnished and includes an outstanding audio visual system throughout, 3 car garage, private courtyard with fountain, two laundry rooms and even a dog washing station.

The kitchen now has a large refrigerator, 2 microwaves (one is a speed oven which also counts as a 2nd oven) a large gas rangetop and lots of storage and workspace. It's open to the dining space and the living space but separated by some classic Craftsman bookcases open on both sides. The large living room area has several options for seating including storage benches under large front windows. The bathrooms are very easy clean with full wall porcelain tiles in dramatic prints. The exterior has distinct Craftsman details and colors.

After successfully designing the main levels of their new home, our Canadian clients were ready to tackle the design and remodeling of their 1200sf basement. They wanted to utilize the lower level of their home for family gatherings and entertaining guests - yet have it cozy enough for just the two of them to watch a movie and enjoy a glass of wine. Working remotely, their wish-list was addressed by creating defined zones in the space to include: a wine cellar, wine lounge, game room, and media area. The design plan was created with a sexy Vegas nightclub vibe as inspiration and using a black and white color scheme. We carved out space for a new wine cellar in an adjacent ‘cold room’ and filled it with dramatic elements, making it the true showpiece of the room. Our makeover required mostly all new furnishings that could easily be rearranged, depending on the occasion. We added unique lighting, dimensional custom cabinetry, rugs and décor. Antique mirror was added in the wine cellar, above the pool table (where adding a light fixture was not possible) and also was used to cover the unsightly support posts. This feature alone elevates and brings harmony to the room to the point you can hardly believe you’re in a basement. The clients complete trust in our bold design decisions is what made this project a success. The results exceeded their expectations and this room is now their favorite place in the home.

James Latta Photography - Big Dreams… Little Budget. This really is the little kitchen that could. The designer was given the challenge of providing an updated, traditional, open kitchen, with a new island, upgraded lighting, finishes, and appliances. Also a wall needed to be removed, appliances needed to be relocated, AND the budget was “close to nothing.” After months of planning, negotiating, and compromising, this kitchen received a TOTAL transformation. Once inefficient, unattractive and closed-in, the new space is beautiful, functional, and light and bright. It now boasts a “WOW” factor that can be appreciated the moment you enter the home. Truly, this kitchen is unrecognizable from the “before” photos. The material selections compliment the espresso wood color furniture in surrounding living areas. Quartz countertops, glass and stone backsplash tile, a composite sink, stainless steel appliances and lighting all create a classic and elegant kitchen. Would you have ever guessed this dramatic kitchen remodel includes Ikea cabinetry and appliances? The result proves that big dreams do come true even with a little budget.
