In Every Home, A Story

Introducing our current renovation project  -- a sweet little home on a big (to us) lot in Southern California's magical Ojai Valley. Join us in moving beyond interior renovation here as we transform the outdoor space into a regenerative eden. 

Today we envision and dream. Spring 2022 the renovation begins!

Affectionately named after my Grandfather's home on Palo Alto St. in 1970's, Fresno, California, a  home rooted in a sense of relaxed glamour.  As an adult, I find that same sense in Palm Springs, but before I had Palm Springs, I had 1970's Fresno -- I'm excited to share how I translate that sense and feeling into the Palo Alto House!

With an automoated futon wired directly to the Control Panel, "analog" GPS globe, and gorgeous Walnut cabinetry, our renovation of this Airstream "Ambadassador" brought 1968 to the modern day. Although we renovated this Airstream way back in 2009, we still hear from people who tell us this is their favorite Airstream renovation of all time!

This Mid Century condo was in need of some real love. We transformed a basic box with no defining characteristics into a contemporary home with timeless sensibilities. Organic materials such as Beech, stone, and cork flooring set the tone for a luxuriously low key, low maintenance life near the beach, with sparkles of glamour throughout to elevate the spirit. 

The project that started it all.  In 2003, we  purchased an empty “shell” in a 1920's furniture factory and fulfilled our first dream of designing + building a home.  With its concrete columns and wall-to-wall windows, it was love (and vision!) at first sight.   A small budget and big vision brought this home to life and offered a glimpse of what we are capable.
