I am currently working on a master bathroom remodel for a client project and thought I would share some info of the design planning process.

For this particular project, the client is looking to completely renovate the entire master bathroom. That means, everything goes! Given the bathroom recently had some water damage and it’s a dated bathroom, it only makes sense to gut the entire space. When I first visited the job site, we discussed ideas and I took measurements.

The client initially forwarded some of her design inspiration and color scheme pics and from those, I built upon and pulled together some of my own design direction and inspiration pictures.

I always start with concept board ideas like these. It helps to create a dialogue with the client, get their feedback on what they may like, or not like. I include notes as to what I see in the images.

I also use these images to help create the design, which is the next step with the drawings and selections.

To convey the new design plans, facilitate bids, and eventually the actual remodel - a set of design plans are part of the design build phase. These CAD drawings for plan and elevations were provided by M Studio, also a supplier of architectural cabinetry.

Above and below are the bathroom elevation drawings by M Studio that include a custom designed 113” wide floating vanity. The drawings are detailed with all the material and finish selections.

Below is the concept board featuring the overall look with the bathroom selections. Some of the finds feature plumbing fixtures from Kohler, tile from Dal Tile, quartz countertop by Silestone, lighting from Circa Lighting, and a mirror find from CB2.

Lamps Plus has long been my go to lighting source for all things lighting when it comes to sourcing for design projects. Whether I’m looking for a stylish bathroom sconce, the perfect kitchen pendant, a chic ceiling light - or, for example, as was the case recently, well functioning ceiling fans.

A 1920’s Craftsman house in Silver Lake was in need of adding ceiling fan lighting, for the functional purpose of both lighting and cooling of rooms. Given the relatively low ceilings and the house retaining heat during warmer temps, ceiling fans were the ideal solution to help keep cool.

Identical Lamps Plus ceiling fans were installed in the living and dining room of this quaint Craftsman home. It was ideal to feature a matching pair with the adjoining rooms. The white fans blend nicely with the white ceiling. Since the ceilings are low (characteristic of Craftsman style), one challenge was finding a ceiling fan that did not have too low of a drop or a long stem, which in researching, many did. The ideal find was the 52” Casa Elite White LED Hugger Ceiling Fan. After seeing it installed, it’s perfect - I really like how closely mounted it is to the ceiling.

The close to the ceiling mounted ceiling fan doesn’t obstruct views nor hangs too low for the relatively low ceilings, like in this living room. A Craftsman house, such as this one, has modest size rooms and less of an open floor plan. The ceiling fans help to circulate and cool the rooms. They’re also a huge energy saver to racking up a costly AC bill during the summer months.

For the bedroom, we opted for the 56” Casa Endeavor White Finish LED Ceiling Fan. A larger ceiling fan was the best choice for what is consistently the hottest room in the house. There was a bit more flexibility in the drop down space, so this particular ceiling fan has a stem. More fan blades were preferred to amp up the cooling affects and this ceiling fan has five blades, compared to four with the 52” Casa Elite White LED Hugger Ceiling Fan.

Summer is a season when we enjoy spending more time outdoors, but it seems in today’s circumstances the outdoors we are spending time in, is our own - our backyard, patio, or poolside. In fact, I recently helped a client furnish her backyard patio to help create that much needed indoor / outdoor living oasis. Then I discovered the company StruXure, manufacturer of technically advanced pergolas. If you’re looking to turn your property into the ultimate staycation, they’ve got you covered!

After months of working on the interiors and remodeling of a client’s home, my Simi Valley client was ready to tackle her backyard and outside patio, just in time for summer! Of course, we were in the midst of our stay at home restrictions, but as most of our design collaboration has taken place over online design, this project wasn’t much different: she emailed me photos of the space along with existing furnishings she was interested in incorporating (wrought iron loveseats, coffee table) along with those dimensions, and in addition to that I helped put together concepts and selections, then formatted into the concept board above for one flat fee. From there, she did the purchasing and implementation. Recently, she forwarded me photos of the completed space - and the progress looks great!

Her backyard patio includes multiple seating groupings, great for entertaining and accommodating a lot of people. There’s a firepit with seating for four, a dining table with benches, a sitting area with loveseats, and an outdoor kitchen with pull up stools.

The pedestal base dining table is ideal for benches and pull up seating.

Love these classic Adirondack chairs.

Outdoor accessories and planters all tying in with the chic neutral color scheme.

The covered patio areas offer shade for both the dining and sitting areas.

Moving onto a phase two of the outdoor space, my client requested additional sourcing for chaise lounges, umbrellas, and throw pillows. I merged the new selections with some of the previously selected items on the concept board above.
