Landscape is what I call Last-scape. It always gets pushed to the side, especially the back yard. Clients usually put it off, but there are so many associations now, that make you do it within a certain time. I do design landscapes too, so don't wait until you get a letter from the community in your mailbox to call me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This side of the house faces the ocean and so doesn't get much screen time since it is hidden from the street and the public. The massing of the house looks quite impressive and the landscape should always help to annunciate certain aspects of the home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lulu Designs is full-service so from the exterior all the way to the interior, we have got you covered!

Wouldn't it be so cool to just walk right into this refrigerated room to grab wine today? 🍷 It could also serve as a place to hide. 🙊 If only there weren't glass doors, you'd have the best spot to take a minute to yourself. 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This floating wine rack has lights behind it, which emit a moody glow at night. 🌚 It serves as the perfect backdrop in a dining or great room concept. Of course, this wine room doesn't hold millions of bottles, but you drink what you buy anyway, right? 💃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have a great 🦃 Thanksgiving, cheers! 🥂

Who wouldn't want to have Thanksgiving here? 🙋🏼‍♀️ The view is center stage so even those orange placemats aren’t getting in the way!

I pinch myself every time I get the opportunity to design a modern house. Of course, modern designs aren't for everyone, but everyone can appreciate the details when done well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every time I would come and see the site progress, I'd gasp and get that "oh, this is so good" feeling as I walked through the house. I call this geeking out. I actually do this in all of the houses I design, but this house is near and dear to my heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Laguna Beach is all about the outdoors and inviting the outside in. Why not make this feeling throughout the home was my mentality. The 'skylight" of black steel windows in this stairwell is an ode to that vacation mentality we chase. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Floating stairwells are the way to my heart. And with a glass railing, I'm really happy with how this turned out. I took what would be a small, dark stairwell and gave it strength, a focus and light. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love to create and hope you can appreciate all of the nuances that go into this thoughtful and evocative Lulu Design!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Modern houses scream "less is more". This means that every selected item should be the perfect thing.🎯 You don't have a lot of chances to make a first impression, when you have a #notsobighouse. Each item you put in the house has to nail the style, function and look. 🤩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Living in 1,500 square feet myself, I know all too well how selecting the perfect piece is emotional: both painstaking and overwhelming. 🥴 Here's a few ways to make sure you nail it every time with every item, big or small. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. The scale and proportion in a space are the top priority. Measure first. Don't just buy it from a showroom and hope and pray it fits. 🙈 If it works in the massive showroom, maybe it won't fit in your house or through the door. 🚪 2. Ask yourself 🧏🏼‍♀️ if it fits the architecture and overall design of the home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Make sure that it serves a function or maybe two. ⠀ 4. Select a color palette you love. 👩‍🎨Just because there is a greige movement now, doesn't mean you have to live without color or give in to peer pressure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Select things you love. 💘 Then, your home will reflect you and not what is in vogue or trending. This ensures you will be happy as you walk around your home for years to come. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This Laguna Beach home works really hard. Each piece was selected based on the 5️⃣ guidelines above along with the clients' preferences. There isn't one thing I'd change. 🎟 What do you think? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🚦The red kettle was not my idea! 🔥 Disregard 😉 and look at all of the other things in this functional kitchen, like the COUNTERS. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I ❤️ #neolith. I love it so much, I used 3️⃣ different styles in this one Kitchen. I prefer layers of design. Can you imagine if the perimeter matched the island? 😱 I needed a darker counter to anchor ⚓️ the kitchen and let the island scream like art. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The splash is subtle... you almost forget it's there. I love when people ask me, "Did you mean to do that?' Why yes, yes I did. I can't steal 😱 from this California view!! 🌴🌞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also meant to have the bbq feel like it's a part of the Kitchen. All of these details ✨ are the difference between building a house and building a home. Sometimes, its serendipity, but that's not always the case! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, the power shades had to happen over the Kitchen lighting bolt glass and pocket doors, because how would you cook in October with the sun going down in your eyes? 🕶 How could you reach over the sink to manually close a shade? 🙈 A classic Lulu Design of form meeting function. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I tell all my clients, after all our toil, 🚧 your home has to work or I haven't done my job. Aesthetic is guaranteed but function is the top priority. 🎯 I don't just make houses pretty, I make them work for the people who live, play and work in them daily, even in a second home. 💯
