It's Monday.. and if you've been following us you know that means that it's the day of the week we give a little peek into my fire rebuild.

If you're new here, I lost my home in the Eaton fire and Mondays are the day I talk about just that...

This week I'm taking it back to my original mood board, my North Star. The mood board is one of the first things I created for myself, and it is one of the first things I create for all of our clients. This is such an important step because it allows us to let go of any design concepts that don't align, ensuring cohesion throughout the home.

My mood board features rich moody tones ranging from deep oxbloods through soft muddy blush tones. We do our best to stick to the color scheme and feel of the mood board through every room, slightly editing based on the use of that room. For instance, my bar will be more on the deep red side, while my kitchen will lean into the lighter, creamier tones and details.

We're getting closer and closer to the finish line, so I am doing my best not to give all of the goodness away so that we can create a bit of a reveal, but we're near completion on flooring and our cabinets are being worked on. Next up will be finishing up tile and then templating the stone!

Thank you for following along on my journey, this has been a tough time for us, but feeling all of the love and support has been absolutely magical.

We’d love to introduce you to Inez... one of our recently completed projects in Altadena. This kitchen, breakfast nook, and butler’s pantry were taken down to the studs in a 1929 Spanish home that had already undergone several remodels. The original kitchen was cramped and awkwardly laid out which was not ideal for clients that love to cook daily.

Arches from the exterior were reintroduced inside, creating an enfilade that flows between the laundry, butler’s pantry, and kitchen. Curves became the defining language of the space, from the coved ceiling above to the architectural transitions.

And then, the showstopper: slabs of Rouge de Savoie marble. Rich, bold, and full of movement, anchoring the entire design. We kept the surrounding palette soft and tonal, allowing it to take center stage while the rest of the space feels calm and cohesive.

One of the questions we hear most often is, “What paint color is that? For our recently completed Sutton and Inez projects, we exclusively used colors throughout the spaces.

Sutton, a historic Tudor with classic English architectural details, felt like a natural fit for Farrow & Ball’s heritage colors.

Our Inez project, a kitchen renovation in a historic Spanish home, called for the perfect shade of red to saturate the butler’s pantry.

We used our all-time favorite white paint, “Slipper Satin” in both projects.

For Sutton:
- Kitchen Cabinetry: Shaded White
- Walls & Ceiling: Slipper Satin
- Powder Bath Trim: Yeabridge Green
- Bar Cabinetry & Trim: Bancha
- Living Room Built-Ins: Dead Salmon

For Inez:
- Pantry Walls: Estruscan Red
- Walls: Slipper Satin

Happy Mendocino Monday - the day of the week where we update you on the progress of one of our Altadena rebuild projects following the Eaton Fires.

Today, we introduce you to… Gwen, an Italianate villa we’ve been closely collaborating with on.

We’re SO excited to share the imagery that we’ve been saving for inspiration now that we’re into design development following nailing down her floorplan.

Stay tuned for more updates on her ❤️

Happy Mendocino Monday - the day of the week where I update you on my rebuild progress in Altadena after we lost our home in the Eaton Fire last January. HOLY COW!!! We’re already in April which means in about 8 months, we’ll finally be back home. Things are pushing along at lightning speed and we are NEARLY ready for drywall, which always feels like such a major turning point. Before anything gets closed up, we’ve been on site constantly doing our final checks: checking plumbing roughs, confirming electrical placements, reviewing HVAC… all of those invisible decisions that secretly shape how a home actually lives and functions.

This is one of those phases that isn’t particularly glamorous, but it’s SO SO important. Once drywall goes in, there’s no easy going back, so we take our time here to make sure every single thing is exactly where it needs to be.

At the same time, exterior stucco and paint are about to begin, which means we’ll finally start to see the house take on some real personality (goodbye, skeleton phase!!!). Flooring and tile will be going in next month which will be a lengthy process (more on the tile i’m using in a few weeks 😉).
