The Italian Renaissance is the inspiration for this bathroom, creating a nice and elegant look for the powder bath that you can escape to while you’re at home. Entering the bathroom, you are greeted by the soft tone of patina creek – a soothing color for the eye, as the chandelier cascades its divine light to open up the space while the natural light seeps through the sheer drapery to indulge your sense to the mosaic floor design, that encompasses and elegant border with rounded edges to soften up and keep balance in the space.
As your eyes wander around the room, the touch of comfort and elegance is surrounding you as you take a glimpse of the small settee and an antique Italian carved salon table. The settee provides the comfort while the Italian carved salon table with a marble polished finish that holds a Versailles faucet provides the elegance in the room. As you take a glimpse into the toilet stall, you are showered with a petite, but matching, chandelier that is centered to the room and paneling that encompasses a delicate floral pattern in the room to enhance this luxurious experience in the Powder Room Bathroom getaway.

The Library will embrace the beauty and character of the house. The metallic leather upholstered ceilings with nail head accents that mimic the scroll pattern of the leading fabric will immediately excite every person who enters this space. Beautiful python-printed fabric on the wall will give texture, a slight sheen and warmth.
A gorgeous area rug that floats over driftwood-toned hardwood floors will add balance, while the dark-stained bookcases and paneling will accentuate the owner’s contemporary book collection along with worldly treasures collected throughout the years. A gold-threaded linen fabric will line the bookcases to pop up the accessories.
The library will be filled with exquisite furnishings with heavy textures to welcome guests to relax and pick up a book. The stunning printed linen drapes accented in the beautiful silk-scrolled fabric in colors of the palette surround the room and add warmth and depth.
Now, slow down, have a seat and lose yourself in The Library.

The David Reaume Design Team transformed an unused basement to a functional living space for the owners. The space was turned into multi-purpose room which will be used as a media/theatre room, family room, and wine cellar. The design concept of this room is “transitional,” a mix between traditional and contemporary designs. The walls are covered by custom panels designed by Dawnette Whitcomb. The custom paneling incorporates crushed velvet, silk, antique mirror, and wood. The fabrics used are in tones of sea foam green and brown with gold-accented accessories and trim.
A coffered ceiling with crown molding creates a library feel, painted in medium walnut and gold. Cream Venetian plaster on the walls tie the light and dark colors together.
A 36” high pony wall allows for a floating u-shaped sofa in the middle of the space. This sofa creates creative seating and separates the rest of the room from the dedicated theatre; creating a setting ideal for viewing movies and singing karaoke, however without completely secluding one area from another during large gatherings. This u-shaped sofa is on a raised platform and faces the 92” projector screen.
A wet bar was added in between what used to be two exposed structural columns. This gives purpose to the columns, makes use of the unused space and provides functionality making it easy for the home owners to entertain guests. On the opposite side of the room the two exposed structural columns were transformed into a bench seat to provide additional seating.
To provide an open feeling and take advantage of the media room’s close proximity to the backyard and patio the designer incorporated infinity Doors. These doors were provided by NanaWall Systems and provide a large accessible space that flows right into the back patio.

A wine cellar was a smart choice for an addition to the basement because of the natural cooling system. It is located at the opposite end of the media room from the infinity doors.
Custom cabinets were created along the walls to display wine while adding décor and ambiance to the room. The flooring used in the cellar was made from recycled wine barrels. The cellar also features two large temperature controlled Thermador wine refrigerators. To help label and locate all the wine, a wine locating system was included.
The cellar holds about 1,000 bottles of wine and was created to be big enough to include a wine tasting table and chairs, providing an intimate place to entertain guests.

The massage room and spa bath was created to provide a relaxing atmosphere. The massage room and a spa bath are separated by four paneled shoji screens, which is a Japanese door made of rice cloth.
The two rooms are tied together with the use of natural pebble stone, stone slabs, and dark wood. This not only creates the flow, but the contrast of the dark flooring and natural tile and stones creates a tranquil and refreshing environment.
A built-in waterfall was included in the massage room to create a relaxing spa-like feeling. Hidden speakers allow for soothing music without the bulky equipment.
Kohler’s brand new Aromatherapy fixture line was used to the give the bathroom a spa-like atmosphere. The therapeutic tub is uniquely placed in front of the one-of-a-kind custom shower. The shower is enclosed with intricate hand carved 31 x 31 imported emperador rose panels, a full overhead rain shower, hand held sprayer, steam shower, and a soothing color changing system.

This space will be designed to reflect a sophisticated motif and rich color palette. Using deep jewels tones, Design and Style will create a feminine canopy bed with fabric cascading down from the ceiling at the corners. The same fabric will be used on the drapery. It is the designers’ philosophy to have unique furnishings and therefore, they often use vintage pieces that are one-of-a-kind and cannot be replicated. The same will hold true for this space as they have selected pieces from top vintage stores around Los Angeles. Dramatic wallpaper will be used on the entire ceiling. The designers have selected black and white photography from a top NYC gallery to be used as the artwork.

The passageway from the second floor bedroom to the main kitchen will be an elegant journey that soothes the eye and eases the mind. As one talks through the hallway, one’s path will be illuminated by two Regency wooden plaque wall lamps, mounted on custom-upholstered wall panels. An Asian-inspired fabric suggests feng shui and harmony between the traveler and his environment. Most walls will be light in color, textured with a strie pattern, but some will work as contrast to stimulate interest.
A carved beechwood bench with double-weave caning is featured on one wall. Its graceful swan-like curves will surely capture attention and will offer a quiet moment of respite. Two pedestals of different heights in the grandest Corinthian style will stand next to the bench to fill the corner and add drama. A luscious silk stripe material, faithful to the color palette and style, will tie the window treatment to all of the other elements in the passageway. To add balance and storage functionality, a stunning, French-styled cabinet will be positioned adjacent to the window treatment.

When Alice Grows Up.
When Alice slips through her adult looking glass, she will not be holding a teacup, but a fine cut crystal wine goblet. Her new world will be a sumptuous dream attained.
The room's walls will be covered in dark grey antique cut velvet.
Grand 18th century engravings by Peter Paul Rubens will fill the walls, skillfully framed in the same fabric as the wall upholstery. A two-toned Art Deco table will be in perfect balance with the newly refinished ebonized floor. The designer will commission several top fashion designers to create a white couture slipcover based on their fashion collections. It will be like inviting beautifully dressed ladies to dinner. WHAT WILL OUR CHAIRS BE WEARING? The table will also be dressed in its finest dinnerware reflecting the colors of the room. A fine modern version of a crystal chandelier will be hung under a hand painted mural inspired by a favorite child's toy - the Spirograph.

The Tea House benefits from its unique setting as the sole freestanding accessory structure amidst luxurious terraces and water ponds. When penetrating through the entrance door, the koi basin, where golden carps swim freely, instantly captivates the visitor. The carps have naturally become the main source of inspiration from which the designers have drawn this year’s proposed scheme.
Indeed, the floor tile has been carefully selected for its rich silver and bronze tones reminiscent of those found on a carp’s scales. The ceiling color, a deep bronze, was chosen to create a mirror image that would surely emphasize the color palette.
The inspiration for this room came, as well, from the bygone era of the “Hollywood” designers, prominently Tony Duquette, for his use of rich tones and chic eclecticism, significantly inspired by European and Asian styles.
To reflect Duquettes’ bold design choices, the walls will be painted in a deep blue that will noticeably complement the bronze tones. The bar will be modified and enriched with warm veneered panels. The furnishings will provide a sophisticated blend of styles and cultures while aerial hand-sawn shades will flank each French door and window. Fabric choices will combine linens and silks in a variety of intriguing tones to create a unique scheme that will surely not go unnoticed.
Artist Bonita Helmer will draw her inspiration from one of her beloved themes, koi fish, to create unique commissioned pieces that will adorn the walls.
In conclusion, the Tea House will be an eclectic blend of rich tones, textures and furnishings that will create a luxurious habitat for the golden carps, and, surely, a soothing heaven for the homeowners, where they and their friends will likely linger while sipping exotic teas.

This understated, yet elegant kitchen features classic furniture styled cabinetry with a hand-glazed khaki finish paired with limestone countertops and flooring as a backdrop for the stainless steel and black Viking appliances.

A lighter colored hand-glazing also appears on the walls and existing coffered ceiling. Traditional satin nickel plumbing fixtures, a biscuit farmhouse sink, and a hammered brushed nickel sink add a finishing sparkle.
