We planned a thoughtful redesign of this beautiful home while retaining many of the existing features. We wanted this house to feel the immediacy of its environment. So we carried the exterior front entry style into the interiors, too, as a way to bring the beautiful outdoors in. In addition, we added patios to all the bedrooms to make them feel much bigger. Luckily for us, our temperate California climate makes it possible for the patios to be used consistently throughout the year. The original kitchen design did not have exposed beams, but we decided to replicate the motif of the 30" living room beams in the kitchen as well, making it one of our favorite details of the house. To make the kitchen more functional, we added a second island allowing us to separate kitchen tasks. The sink island works as a food prep area, and the bar island is for mail, crafts, and quick snacks. We designed the primary bedroom as a relaxation sanctuary – something we highly recommend to all parents. It features some of our favorite things: a cognac leather reading chair next to a fireplace, Scottish plaid fabrics, a vegetable dye rug, art from our favorite cities, and goofy portraits of the kids. --- Project designed by Courtney Thomas Design in La Cañada.

Changing the size of the tile from the glass enclosed tub/ shower to the rest of this Master Suite allowed us to create a seamless transition between the two. His + her's vanities complete with a central make up station, stunning brass tub filler, separate toilet room and sliding barn doors, this ensuite mixes clean + crisp lines with soft, warm tones for the perfect balance.

Tucked into the corner of the wet room space stands a white freestanding tub with modern polished nickel fixtures. The tub sits atop a textured basket weave floor tile that adds textural interest to the light and bright space. A Blues quartzite-topped vanity melds shades of blue, grey, and taupe, while the luxe vanity stool is covered in a blue-grey fabric and accented with nickel nails. A gold-framed mirror adds a glam touch to this transitional yet glamorous master bath.

The primary bathroom is balanced with the freestanding painted bathroom vanity with an open shelf with black mirrors and sconces. The Brizo Levior plumbing fixtures in polished chrome finish add a modern sophistication to the space.
