The client reached out after purchasing a home in the historic neighborhood of San Marino. Initially focused on furnishings and finishes, our in-home consultation revealed a deeper need for spatial transformation.
The kitchen required reconfiguration to include eat-in dining, and thoughtful construction was needed to improve the layout of the primary bedroom and bath. In the formal living room, the client envisioned dividing the long space into two zones; one for traditional entertaining and the other for relaxed, everyday use. Additional updates included bold paint and new furnishings in the children’s rooms, as well as the conversion of a dated wood-paneled rec room into a flexible family space, each designed to better support the flow of daily life.
Highlights
To make the home function for a family with two young children, we modified the kitchen island, and reconfigured cabinets to create an eat-in kitchen. We came up with a new cabinet configuration to include a wine cooler from the rec room which were matched to existing cabinets which were then painted. The backsplash and stone countertops were designed and installed. Oak flooring was matched to existing where needed. A new color palette paint, wallpaper, antiques, furnishings, lighting, fixtures and custom draperies were add throughout the home.
