SURFACES

We swapped existing carpet for stunning white oak floors, replaced worn grass cloth with matching new grass cloth, finished walls with Donald Kaufman pure pigment paint, refinished the interior millwork and paneling and added new kitchen and bar counters.

LIVING ROOM

This sculptural space was stifled by heavy curtains, gas inserts and decades of cigarette smoke. We cleaned and scrubbed the space, then replaced fluorescent tubes with LED strip lighting in the soffit at the beam, and now the space shines again, sharing a wonderful connection with the well-tended backyard through large windows. Our client designed the coffee table to coordinate with the two couches. It was fabricated by Manifesto in Chicago. The round walnut table with ostrich eggs came around the horn to California over a century ago.

DINING ROOM

We restored the original dining room with Versatile Wood Products and Deform’s custom-built dining room table as the centerpiece. The client chose Frank Lloyd Wright’s Cherokee Red for the table top color, warming the space under a client-designed valance featuring Bocci pendants.
