This project was a comprehensive interior and exterior update to a dated home. Our goal was to combine sophistication with relaxed, Californian sensibility to create a richness that is both livable and striking. We started by gutting the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry to rework the home’s overall floor plan. Removing interior walls and adding architectural details like built-in-arches and custom doors, the entry was redesigned to be a fresh focal point with polished character. Featuring updated finishes throughout the home and exterior, we utilized the texture of tile and wood to complement gold accents that honor Spanish-style details. Recognizing the potential of the space, we guided our clients through design and construction to installation with the vision of creating a timeless family home for years to come.

This beautiful Santa Barbara sanctuary on Las Canoas Road is home to a repeat client who invited us back to update their common areas. After relocating from the midwest, they had the vision to reincorporate their art collection and previous furniture into the space, and modernize each room to fit their family’s active lifestyle. After taking the time to understand their functional needs, we transformed the entry, dining room, den and great room to create an open, airy sense of lightness. To communicate their personality and tell the story of their home, we painted the ceilings and changed out the kitchen backsplash, drapery, and furnishings. Prioritizing special, sentimental touches, we also framed their children’s art and utilized family heirlooms into the design.

This was a refresh and staging for sale of a family home in Ojai. The approach was to update the home without loosing its timeless character. We did this through a historic paint pallet, and an update of light fixtures and hardware true to the home's period. An edited mix of the client's furniture in addition to our accessories and furnishings lended to the perfect mix of old and new.

We were approached by our client to transform an unfinished attic into an imaginative multi functional space for the grandchildren to visit. Given full creative license, we dreamed of climbing the attic ladder into a magical world up in the trees, inspired by the surrounding Carpinteria landscape and animals. Practicality and function meet whimsey and plenty of fun, with custom built in storage, bunks, and reading nooks amongst flying pigs and their friends, because at grandma's anything is possible.

This project was an extensive update of a family's Carpinteria beach home. The intent was to transition the home, that had not been touched since the 1970's, to a fully furnished vacation rental, and a space for the family's large gatherings. The design approach was an eclectic California beach vibe inspired by existing design elements. The finishes and lighting were updated throughout honoring the unique architecture of the home. We provided a turn key service, fully furnishing and accessorizing the five bedroom home and its outdoor areas ready to rent, down to the sand toys.

This project was a quick refresh and styling of the entry, living room, and dining room of a mid century ranch home. We worked with the client to define her personal style. Working with original pieces, we reupholstered the sofas and had slipcovers made for the chairs, while updating with a few new accessories and a period credenza for added storage in the living room. Inspired by the client's eclectic collections, we drew colors from the vintage rugs, and styled with personal touches throughout the space.

Melinda's home is a continuous work in progress. Inspired by her love of the mix of old and new, she works in treasured family heirlooms into a family, and pet, friendly ranch home. The design approach is casual and comfortable, with no exception to style. Think a pair of perfect fit blue jeans and your favorite worn in leather boots, a vintage tee and a classic tailored blazer. Yep, we like to draw inspiration from our favorite outfits too!
