Project Reveal: Montevista Pt 1

In 2021, we decided to invest in a flip property in need of a modern makeover. Our goal with our Montevista project was to bring the home from dark and dated to airy and contemporary. Read on for a first look inside this project!

A Light & Bright, Welcoming Entryway

Starting in the entryway, guests are immediately welcomed into a freshly painted, light and bright space. For a contemporary edge, luxury vinyl flooring and new baseboards with a thick profile were incorporated throughout the home. Not only do we love the finished look of luxury vinyl flooring but we also love that it can be laid overtop of existing tile, saving our clients the money and mess of a demo.

Contrasting these details, we painted the front door a deep gray shade and incorporated pops of the same color throughout the space with a woven geometric rug, console table, and light fixture. On top of the console, we styled a cement lamp, complementing the adjacent cement artwork.

Added Home Value with Stylish Updates

In the bar area right outside the kitchen, we added a fresh coat of paint to the original cabinets, new hardware, and new quartz countertops. To make the space feel more open, we also removed the upper cabinets and replaced them with a glass and brass shelving unit.

Adjacent to the kitchenette, we aimed to increase the value of the home by transforming the former office into a bedroom by adding a closet and custom-made door.

This powder bathroom’s transformation might be one of our favorites! Formerly featuring an outdated bird wallpaper, we brought an elevated and modern feel back into the space with new wallpaper, a vanity, a gold mirror, and matching hardware.

Doesn’t this corner make you want to have a seat and swing a while? To maximize and add purpose to this empty space in the home, we styled a hanging chair and table. We also updated the existing cabinetry by adding fresh paint and hardware.

Refreshed Kid’s Bathroom

Similar to other spaces in the home, we opted to keep the original vanity in the kid’s bathroom and add a fresh coat of paint. From there we added new hardware, plumbing, and mirrors to match.

Rather than extending the luxury vinyl floors into this space, we opted to demo the floors and add a fun hexagon tile. We completed the space with new shower tile as well!

Stunning Family Room Designed for Function and Form

Did anyone else’s jaw drop when they laid eyes on this space? We love how the basalt stone, pop-out fireplace we added gives this family room a point of interest and intention. Flanking the electric fireplace, we removed some of the pre-existing built in cabinetry and added new cabinets and floating shelves. Lastly, we tied it all together with a fun chandelier!

Would you believe us if we told you that this room originally had a window where the artwork is hanging? To improve functionality of the space and create more area to work with, we applied an opaque film to the window that then drywalled over. From the exterior of the home, it looks like the window is closed by draperies, and from the interior, you can’t tell there is a window there at all!

In the remainder of the space, we styled some side tables, chairs, a custom sofa, a faux potted tree, and floor-to-cieling custom drapery to accentuate the height and space in the room. We love the unique and elevated look the custom pieces added to the interior!

In a recent post, we began to walk you through one of our latest interior design projects. We worked closely with our clients to fill this builder grade home with unique details that set the space apart, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Read on to explore the remainder of this project!

As the owner of a local real estate brokerage, our client needed a dedicated space to dive into his craft in the comfort of his own home. We filled the home office with masculine elements throughout, including a wooden desk, table, and light fixture with brown leather details.

To create separation between the office and the remainder of the home, we added a glass door mimicking the iron details incorporated throughout the project. How stunning does it look paired next to those metal cabinets?

 

The Must Have Eclectic Dining Room Design

This project’s dining room is filled with bold and eclectic details. Our work began in this space by first incorporating two details that were on our clients must-have list: the dining table and chandelier. For a pop of color and texture, we styled these unique pieces alongside blue velvet chairs, a striped rug, and black cabinets to tie it all together.

Our love for the dining room reached new heights when we chose to leverage the space’s fifth wall. For an extra touch of glam, we wallpapered the ceiling! We’re still swooning over how beautifully the print and chandelier complement one another.

 

Green with envy over this bed? Us too.

There’s nothing better than clients that trust your eye for design enough to explore options outside of their comfort zone. In our Monte Lindo Project’s primary bedroom, we styled this green upholstered bed as the focal point of the space. Adjacent to this piece, we added two sideboards as nightstands to maximize wall space. Lastly, after incorporating two mirroring lamps, a bench, and wall art, we kept the remaining interior details simple to really let the green bed pop.

Looking at the opposite wall of the primary bedroom, we doubled function and beauty by incorporating a sideboard with beautiful detailing for extra storage. We styled the corner of the space with a faux plant, accent chair, and a black side table for an extra pop of visual interest. Don’t the details in this corner draw you in?

Moving along to the desk area in the bedroom, we love the subtle, yet striking detail this textured chair added to the space! To fill the remainder of the corner, we styled floating shelves and a few of our favorite accessories.

 

The His and Hers Bathroom that Everyone will Want!

transitional design bathroom builder grade home scottsdale

One challenge we faced when designing the primary bathroom of this builder grade home was styling the vanities, as one side has a window and the other does not. To work around this, we had a local metal company custom make two different sized-mirrors for this interior. The larger, vertical mirror was styled on “Her” side, while the horizontal mirror was styled on “His” side. For symmetry, we repeated the same light fixtures on both sides and a glam chandelier in the center over the tub. Lastly, we brought warmth into the space by adding accessories, a rug, and textured wallpaper.

We may have saved a close up of the best detail for last. This textured, vinyl wallpaper adds just the right amount of detail without overwhelming the space. Plus, it’s made of vinyl, which ensures its beauty will last for years to come, despite exposure to humidity from the nearby shower!

Project Reveal: Monte Lindo Part 1

New year, new project reveal. We couldn’t be more excited to start 2022 off by sharing our Monte Lindo project with you all! We worked closely with our clients to fill this builder grade home with unique details that set the space apart.

Transitional Interior Design Phoenix

A Kitchen Everyone Can Enjoy

Our work with the clients began after the interior’s finishes had been selected. To elevate the look of the kitchen, we worked with a local metal company to create these stunning glass cabinets, which we styled and chose to repeat in a few other spaces throughout the home as well. We love the contrast and unique detail it brought to the room!

Transitional Interior Design Phoenix

To complement the large kitchen island and add visual interest, we added three 30” woven, macrame-like pendants.  Our clients knew they wanted leather seating in the kitchen, so below we added six of these unique bar stools to the island. Doesn’t this space make you want to have a seat and stay a while?

Transitional Interior Design Phoenix

Moving into the dining room, this unique, geometric table is one of our favorite statement pieces in the home! To accommodate the clients’ young children and allow for easy cleaning, we added six black leather chairs to the space, and tied the entire room together with a patterned rug.

Adjacent to the dining table, we added a sideboard with stunning details on the drawers for visual interest. Just above, we brightened up the space by incorporating two large mirrors to reflect light from nearby windows. This is one of our favorite interior design hacks!

The Balanced, Beautiful Family Room

In the family room, we hung the same chandelier as the one found in the dining room for cohesion. We then filled the remainder of the space with a large custom sectional, statement side tables, accent chairs, and motorized shades per the client’s request.

Our goal was to make this space balance functional and beautifully designed! Similar to the kitchen, we wanted to fill the blank wall space above the cabinets that came with the home, so we added and styled floating shelves.

Transitional Interior Design Phoenix

Rather than styling the family room with one large coffee table, we opted to incorporate a series of three little tables– for a unique touch. For contrast, we styled the tables with lighter, neutral accessories. Check out Our Favorite Accessories to Style With blog post for our top styling tips!

Don’t Forget the High-tech Powder Bath!

Transitional Interior Design Bathroom Phoenix

We knew we wanted to do something different in the powder bath, so we incorporated a fun patterned tile, black hardware, and a statement art piece. We love how the space came to be as special and unique as the Toto Toilet, which, if you haven’t heard, is a high-tech powder room must-have!

Transitional Interior Design Powder Bath Phoenix

To tie in the black hardware in the powder room, we hung a black circle mirror centered between two gold pendants. We thoughtfully selected each detail in this space to beautifully complement one another. Stay tuned for part two of this project reveal!

You asked, we delivered. In a recent post, we shared a peek inside one of our latest projects in Chandler, Arizona. After completely renovating this home and furnishing it from top to bottom, we couldn’t be more excited to share the remainder of the project with you all today!

Starting in the primary bedroom, we applied a modern, gray brushstroke wallpaper to serve as a focal point for the space. We love the visual interest it added to the bedroom!

Adjacent to the accent wall, we added two light oak wood nightstands and a gorgeous custom bed made with black linen fabric for contrast. To keep the space feeling balanced, we chose to keep the bedding simple and add a statement rug and throw pillows for a pop of color and pattern.

Moving over to the opposite side of the primary bedroom, we wanted to create a beautifully designed space, where our client would feel inspired to get work done. Would you believe us if we told you this wooden desk has fully functioning drawers? To say we’re obsessed with this piece is an understatement! To further fill in the space, we added a mirror, boucle desk chair, some greenery, and floor-to-ceiling draperies for a high-end feel.

A Cohesive Primary Bathroom

To keep the primary bathroom cohesive with the bedroom’s black and white color palette, we installed locally-made black metal doors and handmade, terracotta tile to the floors and shower. We love the contrast and uniqueness it added to the space! The vanity was made complete with custom rift cut oak cabinetry and quartz countertops, complemented by beautiful black and brass detailing throughout.

One of our favorite things about the primary bathroom is this custom colored teal tub! We really wanted this to be a standout detail for our client, so we accentuated the pop of color by repeating it through the custom Roman shades. Similarly, we installed a chandelier with both silver and brass elements to tie in the metals from the faucets in the space as well.

The Powder Room Design

Moving into the powder room, we created visual interest by adding a beautifully textured wallpaper and fun, cement tile floors. We also incorporated a custom vanity with a satin brass base, a quartz top, and flanked the mirror with two sconces to further draw guests into the space.

A New Laundry Room

To refresh the laundry room, we incorporated new floors, countertops, and applied a gorgeous hand-printed wallpaper to add movement and depth to the room.

The Family Room

Our goal in the family room was to create a space that balanced beautiful, comfortable, and practical. We started by incorporating a custom-black sofa made with kid-friendly fabric and integrated the couch’s bold color into the custom drapery found throughout the room. Serving as the focal point for the space, we added a geometric wood coffee table. We’ll never tire of incorporating unique elements like this into our client’s homes!

To finish off the family room, we mounted a Samsung picture frame TV to the wall that can display art on the screen when it is not being used for movie marathons. Making family-time extra cozy, we installed a fireplace with quartz detailing on the ledge, a modern chandelier, and plush accent chairs for additional seating. The more the merrier, right?

Just for the Kids

To give the client’s children a space to hang out away from the family room, we created a wallpaper ceiling chandler arizonaseparate kids’ space featuring a roomy leather sofa, TV, coffee table, and shelving to store toys and games. Lastly, we brought the interest up in this room by wallpapering the ceiling and installing a fun, modern chandelier.

 

Last but not least, we incorporated another fun, cement tile in the children’s bathroom and shower. We also brought the same cement tile bathroom chandler azcustom rift cut oak cabinetry and quartz countertops from the primary bathroom into the children’s bathroom, this time with brass hardware to complement the faucets, lighting, and mirrors. To fill the remaining space and complete the look, we added and styled floating shelves above the lavatory seat.

Project Reveal: Ironwood Dr.

 

Our Founder, Lauren Lerner, was no stranger to our recent Ironwood Project. This Scottsdale home is actually her parent’s new house! In dire need of a makeover, our team stepped in to provide a budget-friendly remodel that modernized the home, while keeping it functional for the clients.

The Master Bathroom

Starting in the master bathroom, our goal was to create a serene, organic feel with touches of glam throughout. From the geometric chandelier to the terrazzo looking tile and textured jute rug, this space checks all the boxes.

master bathroom interior design scottsdale

Because we value spaces that are both beautiful and functional, we extended our rift cut oak custom vanity to the ceiling to provide extra storage. The vanity sits in great company as we added a gorgeous black mirror and pendants nearby for contrast. The details on these pieces are practically art themselves!

The “Love at First Sight” Kitchen

The project’s limited budget inspired our team to keep the original black perimeter cabinets and get creative. To give them a fresh look, we swapped the crown molding trim at the top with a new modern piece, added a fresh coat of black paint, and new hardware.

To the left of the cabinets, we added a new hood and a hand-painted terracotta tile backsplash that our client might dare to describe as a “love at first sight” type of detail. We don’t blame her!

kitchen designer scottsdale

Making our way to the heart of the kitchen, we added a new island featuring custom countertops with a quartz slab. The chairs surrounding the island are made out of a performance fabric to ensure the furniture pieces could live in their home for years to come.

contemporary breakfast nook

Right off the kitchen is a gorgeous nook perfect for casual dinners and coffee conversations. We brought this space to life by adding artwork for a pop of color and textured chairs with beautiful rope detailing. Would you believe us if we told you that the light fixture in this space is actually made of cement? This nook is filled with unique details!

luxury-vinyl-flooring

To avoid the cost and mess of demoing tile, we incorporated luxury vinyl flooring throughout the home. With this family room adjacent to the kitchen, we also added the same custom rift cut oak cabinets and floating shelves for consistency. Lastly, to achieve a dramatic, upscale look, we added a black basalt stone electric fireplace and gorgeous floor-to-ceiling custom drapery.

home baking center

Right off the kitchen we added a baking center for Lauren’s mom, who is the daughter of the original Cheesecake Factory’s (formerly called DS Cheesecake Factory) owners! For a personal touch, we proudly displayed an authentic menu and vintage details from the bakery on the wall.

Our latest project is one of our favorites! Do we say that with every project we reveal? They just keep getting better! This client contacted us 2 years before they decided to move forward with their remodel and furnishing project. We completely renovated this house and furnished it from top to bottom. We love the fun vibe of every space and the unique talking points the rooms create when our homeowners have visitors over.

An Inviting & Interesting Entry

The entry is flanked by a console + mirror and a bench and art on the opposite side. We wanted to provide interesting pieces in colorful hues while also making space for guests to set their purses down to stay awhile.

Form Meets Function in the Front Room

The front room of this house is huge and you see it directly when you walk into the house. We knew it needed to be special but the homeowner struggled to decide what the space should be used for. We ended up splitting the space between a dining room and a living room. The beautiful sliding door leading out to the newly renovated backyard space is a showstopper and entices guests to come in and stay awhile. 

modern wallpaper interior designer scottsdale

The dining space is anchored by a gorgeous abstract wallpaper as the focal point. We tied in the navy blue from the wallpaper to the custom drapery panels flanking the larger slider. We kept the rest of the furniture simple to let the wallpaper shine. The custom black dining chairs in a kid-friendly fabric are so unique and special. The light fixture is stunning and creates the most gorgeous reflection on the ceiling. 

living room interior designer scottsdale

The living room has a comfy down-filled sofa + really unique chairs that provide a great place for guests to sit and have a cocktail. The bookshelves are accessorized to perfection and hold both personal pieces and books ready to be read on the cozy sofa when the company is not over.

Full Kitchen Remodel – Worth It!

When we started this project a kitchen update is what we had a plan and this project evolved into a full-blown new kitchen and we could not be more excited about how it turned out! The 3” waterfall edge quartz countertop and the custom rift-cut oak cabinetry created a truly stunning space. The kitchen pendants add a modern element to the kitchen.  What’s your favorite part of the kitchen?

The breakfast nook compliments the kitchen so nicely! Can we talk about the fun pattern on these custom roman shades? The light fixture is a stunning brass fixture with black glass bulbs that goes so nicely with the kitchen pendants. The leather dining chairs add warmth to the space and the leather fabric makes them a breeze to keep clean. The coffee bar features a Miele coffee maker that is pre-plumbed so no more beeps mid coffee making that you are low on water! Cappuccino anyone?
