Rancho La Quinta
This Rancho La-Quinta house started out as an outdated home with caramel-colored walls, 1990’s fireplace, outdated bathrooms and bedrooms, and truly needing a complete renovation.
The owner’s purchased this house in hopes to rent it out part-time, and live in it during the other months, so they requested that the selections be somewhat neutral and objective while creating a contemporary and fresh feel in order to appeal to many.
After new paint, an updated kitchen, a new fireplace and stone, converting a dining room to a guest bed/bath, and completing renovating the primary bathroom and other guest bathrooms, this home did not even feel like the same house we began with!

This true Mid-Century Palm Desert House started out as an outdated home with bright yellow walls, and bright red accents; the homeowners, before deciding to hire a designer painted the walls a cool grey. The homeowners did want to keep the wall color, chair railing, and the travertine floor, so working off these more-traditional features, we updated the whole house, including adding a custom coffee bar, and a dry bar, as well as converting a bedroom to a guest/office. It felt like a new house in the end!

This house, I have designed in sections.
This is the office that was white and plain, and I converted into a game-room for this newly retired client who enjoys playing cards and puzzles; she wanted a room that was all her own while incorporating her desire for simplicity, warmth, and structure - giving it a relaxed, den-like atmosphere.

Considering the colors of this clients’ much-loved art, and their desire for a colorful facelift for their cold-colored, outdated Loch Lomond home. The scope of work was over 5,000 SQ FT, with entire interior being remodeled.
I ended up using a soft white color on the walls to cover their previous shiny-grey/blue paint (from previous home owner), I designed custom a built-in with fireplace, a custom bar, custom dog-bath, custom fireplace in Primary, and custom Primary bathrooms, and more.
I found myself drawing inspiration and visions from modern elements such as matte black hardware and incorporating modern with vintage, by using antique brass in some areas.
I thought about the colors from the dried roses that I collect, and combining them with earthy materials such as stone throughout the house, dressing it all up with upscaled velvet chairs, and keeping it comfortable with causal leather.

This Midwest house was a project that I poured my heart into, designing and constructing it with my own two hands.
I flipped the entire house, converting it from a 1980’s outdated home, into a shabby chic, farmhouse with large wood floorboards and crown molding; creating a custom coffee bar and updating the kitchen cabinets and countertop; building a custom hood range cover and designing custom pallet wall made from real pallets, and covering most of the house with custom, shabby-chic shiplap and beams to create a quiet , cottage feel, away from the world.
I drew inspiration from the Midwest surroundings of this home, it’s culture, and the terrain. I sought out warm and soft colors for this house to create a cozy space. By creating creamy ship-lap walls and ceilings, custom seating areas, and focal points, like fireplace seating - this house became a home that no one would ever want to leave. I used different tones of greige, greens, burnt oranges and natural wood.
MIDWEST COTTAGE
CODY PLACE
Inspired by it’s Mid-Century Modern Palm Springs Architecture, the client wanted to be able to incorporate wallpaper to his new home. I found some fun, whimsical paper to add texture and interest to his home, while staying true to the color pallet. The movement in the wallpaper keeps it interesting, with the soft blues and whites pulled it all together!
