“I love the beach.  I love the sea.  All my life I live within – in front of the sea.”
– Rafael Nadal

BEFORE | BEACH HOUSE MASTER BEDROOM

Every space within this dream house calls for people to get cozy and relax.  A weekend retreat for family and friends, with a newly remodeled vibe of calm and serene that swept into the bedrooms.  With an empty shell, the possibilities were endless when we began to draw up the master quarters.

After a day in the sun and sand, a restful night of sleep is heavenly.  Muted and natural, a clutter free room is ideal for the sweetest dreams.  A new door replaced shutters and slats, on to a deck overlooking the courtyard in the front of the house.  We said goodbye to a small closet on the opposite side of the room, and designed built-in his and hers storage to flank the door without encroaching on the open space of the room.

You can’t get cozier than our Mongolian Sheep Throw.  The softest thing you’ve ever felt, and it adds dimension and texture to crisp white bedding.  That headboard tho!  A vintage hand embroidered blanket from one of our favorite LA based textile designers, Peter Dunham, became the perfect backdrop for the room.  A custom built bed is one of our favorite things to design as it gives each client a one of a kind beauty, and guarantees a plush factor that is a must! With a bold pattern, it becomes the artwork of the room.

Concrete and brass lamps blend effortlessly with these leather nightstands.  Our best selling bone tray is just right to hold a bedside decanter of water and fresh cut flowers.

BEFORE | BEACH HOUSE MASTER BEDROOM EXISTING CLOSET

Here is the tiny closet original to the room which was replaced with the new built-storage for the Mr. and Mrs.  The walls were filled in and made the room appear much larger with the new elongated wall.

Petrified Wood is one of my favorite materials for design.  This narrow console is the perfect fit under a new flat screen, and a place for some of our favorite vintage treasures and finds.  The feather headress from Bali is ready for an impromptu dance session.

It is impossible to not be overwhelmed with joy with a view like that.  Morning glory and evening delight ensue when letting the crashing waves of the Pacific wake you up, and lull you to sleep.

Our rattan lounger is waiting for someone to curl up with a good read, or to marvel at the insane ombre of the ocean in Malibu. Some things cannot be replicated, and that palatte is truly a wonder of nature.  Stay tuned for the next chapter of our Beach House Remodel…
