Rancho Santa Fe Kitchen and family room overhaul!

This client had a water leak which prompted him to update his kitchen. It was decided that the original layout was sufficient overall. A few adjustments were made throughout the kitchen to create more functionality. with the new custom cabinetry.  The cabinets in the family room were undamaged, so we wer able to painted them since they were in great condition overall. The entertainment center was redesigned with custom built in floating shelves flanking the two adjacent columns  The flooring and lighting was updated throughout the main living area to seal the deal! I assisted with the designing planning, budgeting. management of overall project, The goal was to sell the house after the remodel,\was complete. That was exactly what was done. The house sold shorty after it was listed on the market! Another success story in the books.

Rancho Santa Fe Kitchen and Family Room Overhaul!

After: New makeup seating area w/ built in hampers.

This master bathroom project consisted of reworking the layout. The clients were older and after a slip in the dangerously sloped shower, they decided they needed to remodeled their master bathroom. We removed the tub and created a large walk-in curbless shower with a built in bench, a rain head, two handhelds shower heads and decorative grab bars for added for safety. The accent tile was from Oceanside glass, a custom blend color in a lotus pattern.  This tile was used sparingly throughout the space to keep the cost down. We also were careful with other materials selections to help balance costs.. The finishing touches included an elegant chandelier that hangs so perfectly over the custom built-in make-up area, flanked by the functional his/ hers hampers, and custom framed mirrors to match the dark wood like tiled floor. All the fine  details came together to create this beautiful masterpiece.

Point Loma Kitchen Remodel Relocated within Existing Space!

This recently complete project was an absolute pleasure to work on. These were third time clients, and they were finally ready to tackle their kitchen, family room, and entry. Throughout the extensive design process, exploring adding additional square footage to the home to accommodate the desire to have a larger kitchen, the answer finally revealed itself. We found a way to enlarge the kitchen without adding on additional square footage to the home! The great plan was to swap the family room and kitchen. The finished product is nothing less than spectacular. Now when you walk into their home, you see an amazing open concept with a beautiful large kitchen surrounding it. See the photos to decide for yourself. 

Carlsbad Major Indoor / Outdoor Transformation!

This was an amazing Chrysalis Award Winning project! I am proud to have been a integral part of it working with such great clients! They weren't able to purchase a house with a view like they had originally desired 10 years ago.  During this time they only did minor improvements throughout the home, needless to say they were ready for a drastic change. After going through an extensive design process, they realized they really wanted a pool. After a 3D model was created of the space the clients just knew that this was what they truly wanted to do with their home. Fast forward to today, and the finished product is nothing less then stunning and spectacular. The clients are ecstatic and are now able to enjoy their beautiful new backyard for a lifetime.  This project included rework of the back exterior openings of the house,  re stucco in the Santa Barbara smooth finish with crack isolation technique at exterior of the home, two matching 12 foot La Cantina Bi Fold door systems, a new slider in the master, master bathroom remodel with rework, guest bathroom with a steamed shower, large outdoor covered structure, new pool/spa, custom materials, dog run, and so much more! 

After: Professional style kitchen, over sized island.

The goal for this project was to create an open concept space for a great room. The wall between the small outdated kitchen and the family room was removed and an addition was built to make the space more functional for entertaining and for displaying the clients artwork. The clients had a strong vision of the style that they were looking to achieve. Their wonderful personalities and uique sense of style helped guide us to create such a perfect space. This is a true cook lovers kitchen equipped with a 12'  over-sized island! If you notice from the photos there are no wall cabinets in the kitchen. The clients wanted open wall space to showcase all of their awesome artwork.  Birch plywood custom cabinetry were used with quartz  black counter tops. Stainless steel counter top, base shelving and the integrated sink makes cleaning in this kitchen almost more fun then cooking in it!

Industrial Kitchen Remodel with Open Concept / Addition

After:New Range top with glass tiled backsplash.

This project was a whole house remodel, with eighty percent of the interior gutted for maximum functionality. This included minor layout rework in the kitchen, and master suite. The tub in the guest bath was removed and replaced with a shower. The fireplace facade was modernized. The remaining remnant granite slab left over from the kitchen was used for the fireplace surround material. A painted wood mantel to match the kitchen cabinetry was custom built for the space. The wood like porcelain flooring, faux wood beams and  consistent materials throughout really tie the space together. We kept things neutral and incorporated small consistent splashes of color for that fun touch.

Transitional Whole House Remodel in UTC

North Park Historical Overhaul!

This project is near and dear to my heart. We had quite an extensive design and planning process to accomplish the beautiful harmony of this project. This was a unique situation where this was a third time client and I was brought into the project to do a lot of the research and behind the scene work, as well as assisting with all aspects of the design and planning. The client had purchased a new home in the perfect location, right across from Morley Field. with a killer view of downtown. The goal was to fully remodel the home, historically designate the home, and eventually move forward with the Mills Act to reduce his taxes. After some research I came across Ron Mays contact information. He was found to be a perfect fit for the project with is extensive historical background here in San Diego. Fast forward a few years later and the house is finally completed. We master planned this project. The first phase included remodeling of the entire first floor including an addition off the back of the house, adding a bathroom, bedroom, as well as revamping the entire front of the house to match our historic photo that we had acquired dated back to the early 1900's. What a great project this was to work on with absolutely great clients. The clients will let the dust settle before they tackle phase two of their project!!

After:Deep drawers for pots and pans.

This project was to update a compact kitchen in a town home in Del Cerro. The clients were downsizing so a functional kitchen was an absolute must for them with lots of storage. The space from a small closet in the hallway was re-purposed for extra cabinetry storage on the kitchen side.  Also the small pass through connecting the kitchen to the dining room/living room was opened up approx. 4' which made a great connection between the living spaces. We extended the range leg of the cabinetry to gain deep drawers for pot / pan storage and additional storage above while making sure that we had enough room for the eat in kitchen table. These minor adjustments throughout the space really made a difference with the function and flow of the kitchen. The existing flooring was saved since there was only minor changes from the original footprint. The clients big splurge was their Viking appliance. The savings of the flooring helped them to get there.

North Park Hardscape Overhaul!

This was such a fun project to work on with a past client who came back for round two!! Round two entailed revamping the exterior of the home with a new driveway, walkways to the entry and to the back yard, deck, and retaining wall. I created the design with the assistance of Shayna Orr, a local landscape designer. Together we created a beautiful layout that fit the lot like a glove. The finished product is spectacular! The client is always getting compliments on her yard and added curb appeal. It was decided to cut the budget to not include plant at the time. French drains were installed as needed for future low maintenance planting when the client is ready for the phase of her project. Check out the drastic before and afters!

North Park Exterior Overhaul!

Poway First Floor Overhaul!

These wonderful clients had waited more than 30 years to remodel their home. Their kids were grown and there family size was growing. The outdated kitchen was not functional and appliances were failing when they decided to do something about it. We created a plan that really worked for them when the whole family came over, there need to maximize food storage capabilities, while updating their living space within their budget. We added a small addition onto the kitchen, which included relocation of the kitchen. The results were perfect for my the clients to be able to age in place, with low maintenance products and materials that will stand the test of time, and a home they can be proud of that they will enjoy for years to come with their family and friends.

Kitchen Design

This is a project I worked on to add space to the kitchen while redesign the layout to make it more functional. These were the renderings that I produced using 2020 to capture the visuals of the new space. The project included adding an addition off the back of the home, refreshing the bathrooms, staircase, and new flooring/paint throughout.
