Last Friday was our Installation Day for our first project in California. It was a challenging project due to the distance, but it has been one of the best projects we have ever worked on. Our client was amazing, and we could not have asked for anyone more pleasant or understanding.
We were invited to design the Living Room, Dining Room and Master Bedroom of a 1940’s Bungalow at the top of a hill with the most outstanding city views I have ever seen.
Our client wanted a new space that reflected her life passions and her new sense of sophistication. We selected a palette in mauves, purples, taupes, and browns and we incorporated some elements that showcase her immaculate sense of humour, in a space where she can host one of her favourite activities - movie nights.
Some of our favourite moments in the space are these over scaled light fixtures that bring an immediate sense of drama and volume to the space and the wallpaper in the ceiling has been a hit, adding visual texture and sense of rhythm.
This is also one of my favourite vignettes in the space. A bust of Einstein and a hand sketch of a woman that has sentimental meaning to the client.
We designed a simple bookcase to hold all our clients important memorabilia objects.
Excuse the ladder but we were working on the installation. Stunning wing chairs with lumbar pillows in Allegra Hicks fabric.
Our client has been involved in the movie industry and we thought it could be great to include a fun tribute to her career with these posters printed in sepia.
The Dining Room has a white grass wallpaper by Ralph Lauren and a stunning metal light fixture by Terzanni. We placed a single over scale photograph to add volume to the space.
A wall paper by Threads, and lush mauve velvet window treatments make this space warm and inviting.

Wow Ivan what a great way to start off the week showing casing your travels to California well done!!! Your design looks so full of many different elements but all compose each other very nicely, is that a tin ceiling I see ?
Thanks! Darrell.
It is not a tin ceiling. It is a Cole & Son wallpaper by David Easton with metallic trellis design.
Congrats Ivan! What a wonderful opportunity you were presented with and you certainly delivered......planning and coordinating all of that long distance is impressive! So much detail, It all looks soo lovely, can't wait to see more pics of this project in the future (is that a stone fireplace I see?)! Great Job.

Fabulous work Ivan & Echo! The space is warm and layered with personality and sophistication! Love the light fixtures in the livingroom and diningroom...definitely!
Beautiful work - congratulations! I especially like the furniture arrangement in the living room. It's very welcoming and comfortable but still tailored.

I am very impressed. I particularly love the dining room, but everything you have chosen creates so much harmony and a sense of calmness without lacking energy. Bellissimo.
The spaces are Fab... very comfortable yet sophisticated. The lighting is outstanding.
I love reading designers blogposts and images of actual projects before, during and afters.
Nice work Ivan! Everything just looks so warm and inviting.

This is a job well-done! I love how you have added touches of LA glamor and sophistication, while at the same time keeping the spaces very comfortable and livable. What a fine representation of your talents. This is worthy of being featured in any of the top design magazines.
Congratulations.
