For a second time, I had the opportunity to visit the lovely people at the Costa Mesa Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Showroom for the “Live Deliciously” event with corporate Chef Molly.

The pretty and festive table set for our intimate group!

We had a little interactive cooking demo, with the help of Chef Molly we prepped some of the ingredients for our pizzas while learning about the cooking process with hands on appliance experience.

The table set, candles lit, followed by an amazing dinner (thanks to Chef Molly) and great conversation (so happy to be getting to know everyone who works at the Costa Mesa showroom) - which is stunning and worth a visit (you too can experience the cooking demos and food tastings!).

We all had a great time!

​Thank you Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove!

Last week I attended an event at the beautiful historic Beverly Hills Women’s Club on behalf of Women In Luxury Design.

Renowned architect Marc Appleton gave an amazing inspiring talk about woman who’ve become successful architects, stemming from the days when it was a more male dominated field.

Luxe Interiors + Design magazine was among one of the several event sponsors.

A table spread of yummy appetizers.

And beautiful floral arrangements from the Empty Vase.

There are many options for designing closets and closet door styles. Recently, I helped a client revamp their existing bedroom closet and one of the challenges was coming up with alternatives for the closet doors that were not a standard flat panel white closet door as well as a look to work with the existing bedroom (which we’d worked on prior); the closet redesign came after.

A variety of closet designs and door style concepts.

To help convey ideas & directions for the project, I put together these concept boards for my client for feedback. They opted to go with a wood stain door frame inset with mirrors. The wood finish ties in with bedroom furnishings they just had refinished and the mirrors are practical as full length mirrors. An added bonus is that the closet runs along a narrow hallway and as they say, mirrors help give the appearance of more spaciousness.

These shutter style slat doors are something unique.

If you’re looking for something fun and graphic, could always wallpaper too!

This past week I attended a luncheon event at California Closets of Orange County. As part of the event, we got to tour the showroom and learn more in depth about the product.

Gone are the days (that I remember) of white laminate! Now, an array of trend setting finishes are available.

The luxe women’s closet is stunning in person!

Very elegant and pretty.

Drawer detail lining.

They also offer wall units like this tv display.

The men’s version luxe closet.

These pull outs are great, and for keeping items organized.

A fun and organized craft room space.

Lots of hardware to chose from!

And many more finishes!

Thank you to California Closets of Orange County for hosting us!

I recently completed a fast track project for a past client from a few years back. My client Theresa of Opus Music School was looking to expand her existing space to create a group teaching music room. In the process, the existing reception and waiting areas would be less than half the space of what it was before. The challenge was to create a space that looked new and exciting, yet accommodated all the areas she had before, which we had designed just a few years ago.

The new furniture floor plan includes seating and counter workspace for the music school kids to work at.

We custom designed, built, and installed a floating counter with stools and sconces as a work space.

The new waiting area includes seating and poufs for the kids.

Still in progress, but the colorful backdrop wall will have signage and be a fun selfie wall too!

We included a mix of existing furnishings paired with new pieces too.

Lamps Plus recently invited a group of designers and media to attend a summer luncheon with brand ambassador Jennifer Farrell highlighting Fall trends. We enjoyed an amazing lunch at one of my local favorites, A.O.C. along with socializing with new and old friends.

Thank you to Lamps Plus for including me at their recent summer luncheon.

The pretty wine room venue at A.O.C. for our private luncheon.

Lamps Plus brand ambassador and interior design / tv host, Jennifer Farrell sharing her Fall lookbook selections.

Highlighting some of the Fall trends featured in the lookbook, is this stunning Tangle Pendant. I’m going to keep this in mind for a great room breakfast nook project I’m currently working on.

Love the transitional and modern mix of the Paxton Pendant.

These Brava Wall Lamps are gorgeous!

I’m always on the lookout for something new and different, love this Arrow Sconce. Noted as a must use for a future project!

It’s one great thing after the next! Loving these sconces from the Yara Collection as a must use for a future bathroom remodeling project!

I find this Declan Sconce very transitional and elegant. I could see using in a hallway or flanking a fireplace.

The Casa Ceiling Light is super glam. I’d love to use in a master bedroom.

Lamps Plus is a great source for furnishings too. Often, I find stylish affordable pieces for clients. These Reign Barstools are striking and look comfortable and love the colored velvet, just $249 too!

For the full lookbook, check it out here!

Thank you again to Lamps Plus for including me!

I was recently working on concepts for a small bathroom remodel with a budget to allow for only minor cosmetic renovations. In the process of putting together inspiration and direction for the project, I came across some bold, colorful vanities — and thought — why not go for a “statement vanity”!?

This concept board was actually for a project several years ago but I still love that lavender vanity!

Bright pink is so fun and cheerful!

Yellow, of course, is happy - makes for a great kid’s bathroom.

Definitely vibrant and bold with orange and colorful wallpaper.

The balance of white and yellow give this statement vanity a very clean bathroom look.

In my search, I found some colorful vanities available ready made and online.

Super sleek and modern.

A green vanity is another statement color!
