CRAFTED MOMENTS
Small rooms. Big emotional impact. Crafted to the bone.
These are spaces experienced at close range. Kitchens and bathrooms may be smaller in scale, but they demand the greatest precision—where walls thicken, light is shaped, materials are touched daily, and every decision matters. From refining a midcentury modern kitchen to sculpting a bathroom into a calm, immersive retreat, each project is driven by proportion, craft, and experience. Nothing is extraneous. Every surface, transition, and detail is carefully considered to elevate daily rituals into something grounded, tactile, and enduring.
Mid Century Modern Style Remodel
Thousand Oaks, CA
Sculpting a Home That Speaks Their Language
This mid-century-modern-loving couple were so not digging their suburban 1962 ranch house. So we gutted the core of their house and sculpted a new space for them! Replete with crafted details and thick material edges that kept a warmth and artistic flare they both have, we gave them a space that truly reflects their sense of beauty and style.

A Small Addition, A Big Transformation
This couple loved the Arts and Crafts era—the wood, the hidden niches, the built-ins. Their 1950s ranch home had some of these elements but came with a too small dining room, a too wide kitchen, socially cut off from the rest of the house, and an overall dark, dank multi-colored-brick feel.
He wanted a hunting lodge, of course, and, while she appreciated the richness of stained wood, she needed more light and a touch of beauty.
We functionally solved their problems by adding 200 square feet to alter the layout. Aesthetically, we provided them with a vaulted, painted wood volume with skylights and stained moments. Built-ins were everywhere—the restaurant booth in the kitchen, the built-in benches in the living room that provide storage below and a wall of book cases that lined the living room. The Mackintosh elements of stained glass embedded throughout the woodwork are the cherry on the top. These blips of color brought the human touch, craft and warmth to the walls, columns, doors, cabinets and wherever they occurred.
A small addition that brought out the potential beauty the house had to offer.

Thousand Oaks Bathroom Remodel
A Spa Retreat with an Arts & Crafts Soul
This bathroom remodel was a second phase to the Thousand Oaks Remodel. The couple wanted to continue to weave in the Arts and Crafts/Macintosh detailing, but in more of a spa/get-away feel.
We provided them cleaner lines and a warm, soothing, luxurious palette. Walnut wood and Portobeige limestone provided the rich, neutral base with accents of blue-green glass. A touch of iridescence in the glass mosaic and chrome brought the neutral palette just the right amount of shimmer and pizzazz.
We have to give enormous accolades to one of our favorite contractors—Dave Warner of DW Designs 805.338.0880—for doing such an amazing job on all of the stone and tile work!
