Manhattan Beach - Modern Mountain At The Beach

This was my life’s dream and was a really fun project. Everyone in the neighborhood builds a white plantation or farmhouse. When in a row, they look like one big house and I wanted to do the exact opposite. Inspired by dark, warm builds in the mountains I wanted to bring that cozy feeling to the beach.

Nashville - Modern Charm

Working alongside Mandy Wilson, of Mandy Wilson Designs, we put together this beautiful rental home set in the hip 12-South neighborhood of Nashville. Want to stay here? Check it out on AirBnB.

Rockville - Pink Nursery

This was a fun “design from a distance” project. The clients in Maryland knew they wanted pink for their little girl so we had some fun with it!

Evergreen - Laundry Workout Room

Another “design from a distance” project in the mountains. This was previously a basement kitchen/laundry room. The homeowners no longer needed the kitchen but wanted space to exercise and a laundry room that was nice to look at since they would spend more time in the space. You can see that the surrounding mountain range was the inspiration.

Mountain Makeover

It was fun to work in the mountains of Colorado for a change of scenery. I had a chance to be hands on and wear my cute overalls and tool belt. Along with the homeowner who is a carpenter, I helped to construct the fireplace and the entertainment center.

Westchester - Church Youth Room

This was a fun project! I had the great opportunity to collaborate with Maggie Thomas of formuLA design. This church wanted a fun room for their youth group and young adults to hang out.

Manhattan Beach - Man Cave

I wanted to create an all American surf lodge feel. The front and side open up to catch the ocean breeze and enjoy the outside (while inside). The whiskey bar and beer fridge are a guys dream come true. I raised the ceilings as high as possible to create the sleeping loft which perfectly fits a queen size bed.

I'm obsessed with the hand-painted cement flooring in the bathroom from Classic Tile in Hermosa Beach. It's a sunny start to even the heaviest "June gloom."

Manhattan Beach - Patio Before & After

We removed the old garage and built a new garage into a bigger space. The fire pit is great for entertaining as well as watching movies from outside into the garage.

Manhattan Beach - Bathroom Before & After

This one was lots of fun (sensing sarcasm?). The entire bathroom was wallpapered, including the ceiling and around the shower. I didn't make any major changes, just a little refresh. Removing wallpaper is worse than torture!
