Watching you be an amazing dad to our 12-year-old

Watching you be an amazing dad to our 12-year-old son (and the big 19 year not pictured) has been one of the greatest joys of my life. You bring so much love, connection, and strength to our family, and we’re so blessed to have you.

Here’s to celebrating another year of your life and all the wonderful memories we’ve created together. I’m so grateful for every moment with you and excited for all the adventures still to come.

We love you more than words can express. Happy Birthday, my love! ❤️

Anyone who knows me knows without a shadow of a do

Anyone who knows me knows without a shadow of a doubt, my favorite color combinations are teal and orange. Walking into @joyce_dtla for lunch with my loves @sunbury_international and I found the interiors to be stunning on so many levels. Wonderful atmosphere, fantastic food (see Dillon’s joy over his oysters) and of course making new friends: Owner’s Prince & Athena. Next time you are in downtown LA, you must visit for some true hospitality…it was one of the best meals and experiences ever! Thank you @lisatlong for the recommendation 😘

So this big kid was here for a blink and now he’s off again for his second year Feather River College Baseball program. The summer came and went…wishing him a successful year. Miss him already❣️

After two years of meticulous planning, relentless

After two years of meticulous planning, relentless dedication, and countless hours of hard work, this ambitious project finally reached completion. This endeavor, which began as a mere idea pre-COVID, evolved into an exciting adventure of possibilities, capturing the essence of creativity and perseverance.

The renovation project reached a pivotal moment when the decision was made to remove a central wall and open up the space. This aspiring plan required the installation of a steel beam, a crucial step to ensure the structural integrity of the home while transforming the area into a more expansive and inviting environment.

Opening up the space not only enhanced the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the area but also underscored the power of thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship in redefining a living environment.

As the final touches were added and the project neared its culmination, a wave of excitement swept through the team. We unveil this kitchen, family room and guest bath before and after photos as a testament to the client’s requests and our ability to visualize and achieve their desires.

When deciding to hire an interior designer, it is

When deciding to hire an interior designer, it is critical you consider only doing business with a qualified NCIDQ certified professional.

The NCIDQ stands for the National Council for Interior Design Qualification. It is administered and developed by the CIDQ: Council of Interior Design Qualification.

A NCIDQ certified designer will ultimately guarantee you make sound design decisions, provide confidence in the process and help navigate the stress of construction. An NCIDQ certified designer is:

1. Serious about their education;
2. Has learned from the best, not just fumbled through enough projects to be proficient;
3. Is organized in their practice and processes;
4. Knowledgeable about lawful and safe building practices;
5. Knows about more than just the interiors;
6. Is credible, honest, has integrity and ultimately raises the bar;

Many government projects (local city, county, state and federal jurisdictions) require firms to have NCIDQ Certified Interior Designers working on their projects. Why not yours too?

It is clear the NCIDQ qualified designer has it all. Inquisitive, disciplined, organized, caring, adaptable, experienced, refined, clever and has earned the right to call themselves Interior Designers. Choose your designer with awareness and be proud of who you hire.

Teaching Commercial Studio courses at the Design I

Teaching Commercial Studio courses at the Design Institute of San Diego is not just a job, it’s an experience that fills the soul. Watching these young design students grow through the last two years of their four year bachelor’s degree is transformative not just for them, but for me as well. I am so proud of their hard work and dedication to this amazingly rewarding career choice and know, they will achieve greatness. This group in particular started their long journey right before the world shut down. Because they stayed the course, they completed the program with appreciation for how powerful the statement “design impacts lives” really is. I am grateful to have celebrated with them last night on their special commencement ceremony. Wishing them everything they deserve and more…x🥂

Sneak peak at this kitchen expansion project which includes pushing the exterior wall out to enlarge the footprint, allowing for an island and walk-in pantry. Lots to share…but loving this cooking niche and all it had to offer.

A recent stay at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa

A recent stay at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa where I found myself pondering this creative headboard. Using an angled inset Tambour to frame an upholstered center panel looks fantastic and functions great for the users comfortability. My question… or rather wonder is, has the IG or TikTok world created a handheld device that cleans the dust out of the grooves of tambour?

Would love a link if anyone has seen or knows of such a contraption. Creating beautiful spaces is one thing, knowing how the client will need to take care of the product is another!

Oh how I love everything about this classically designed upscale watering hole, Ember and Rye at the park Hyatt Aviara in Carlsbad, California.

The use of the color teal invites the soul to pull up a barstool and relax. Coordinated brass finishes on the bar facade and stool feet is a brilliant pairing to the penny tile accent floor detail. The incredibly popular terrazzo like quarts, such as White Diamond from Silestone, pulls through the modern countertop to finish it all up. In the dining room adjacent to the bar, a bold custom digital graphic Wallcovering niche pairs next to heavy traditional wainscoting allows for balance between the two styles. And the cherry on top, a soft shade of teal painted on all walls to remind us why we are there.

If you find yourself in need of a new experience, order the:

In honor of March 1st, the first day of Women’s

In honor of March 1st, the first day of Women’s History Month, I feel inspired to say, thank you to all the strong women of our past who helped change so many important aspects both personally and professionally. Today I am surrounded by inspirational women in the interior design industry here in San Diego and across the country. These women give me the strength I need to fight the good fight and to love not just the work, but the people. Let’s continue to thrive and support one another in all aspects which empower women the strength to never give up. Make time for a woman in your life who has inspired you at some point in your journey, and make sure to just say thanks. 🌼

Home offices were the #1 renovation request from 2

Home offices were the #1 renovation request from 2020-2022 as a result of the COVID pandemic. As we role out of this demand, home owners are seeking for ways to utilize these now no longer needed rooms created often out of carved-out spaces from garages and living rooms. Our client had done just that, took out a parking space from their garage to create a home office and now, no longer need it.

Our client’s love to watch movies, Netflix Series, Sunday football and award shows so a Entertainment Room came calling. Things we considered:

✔️ Motorized black-out roller shade with side channels and hem bar to ensure no light reflection

✔️ No glass in french doors to maximize ambient light from adjacent room

✔️ Individual recliners

✔️ Shared cup holders and storage for snacks

✔️ Textile on the floor to help with sound

✔️ OLED screen for the best viewing angles with virtually no distortion wherever you choose to sit

✔️ Creative built-in for personalized stylizing and maximizing storage floor to ceiling

✔️ Updated LED dimmable lighting layered for ceiling and built-in

Another interiors client turned event planner requ

Another interiors client turned event planner request and in this case, the most special day of all days, their wedding ❤️. We had the honor of planning a three day event for our client’s over New Year’s Eve weekend and it was truly a magical experience. From the #WelcomeParty @theshantycardiff to the #weddingceremony and #NYEcelebration @trattoria_positano to a New Year’s Day Brunch at their newly renovated home, these two threw the weekend of all weekends for 80 of their closest friends and family.

The success would not have been possible without this fabulous crew of women:

@eirelandphoto
@indymoonmedia
@dj_que_city
@fleur.delegance
@trattoria_positano
@decorated_confections
@whitneytealartistry

And to make things sweeter, we got this thank you note from the couple to wrap up the love and gratitude:

“Shannon-words cannot convey how beautiful you made our wedding weekend. Just know that we noticed so many amazing little details, and the touches that seemed to know what we needed/wanted before we knew that!!! You’re amazing!!! And you and your entire family (!) gave us the wedding we didn’t know we could have…again though words don’t do what you guys did to give joy not just to us but to 80 friends and family. With much love and gratitude, D & L”

Don’t underestimate the importance of architectu

Don’t underestimate the importance of architectural lighting for your built-in’s. Smart automation lighting control is key to any space, but budgeting this should be considered early on in your project. So much potential available to compliment your space when lighting is integrated into the project professionally.
