Crossware bought this home as a Fix and Flip in June of 2019. The project was in disrepair with tons of deferred maintenance. This original owner from the 1970s was overwhelmed with a leaking old shake shingle roof to a jungle-like overgrowth in the backyard taller than the roofline. Its beauty became apparent after the […]

Living in an over 55 Community of Ocean Hills never had it so beautiful. Retirement doesn’t have to be dated and uninviting. Originally built in 1989 this tired and dull house needed a facelift. The objective for this home was to create a relaxed and fresh vibe. We wanted the new homeowner to become alive […]

Santa Luz being a prestigious community of Rancho Santa Fe embodies all of the amazing aspects of San Diego. Kathy and David’s home was built in the late 90’s with finishes of slate and brown cabinets everywhere. They wanted a much more open and bright feel, a facelift to their family’s environment. The refresh was […]

This Pacific Beach young professional homeowner was relocated from Chicago. Her new excitement of all things ‘beach’ was fun to marry with her love of bling. Taking a ‘retro’ condo from the 60’s was a thrill , changing the floor plan to an ‘open concept’ and adding special details like carrera marble herringbone mosaics in […]

There are two cottages on one piece of property. Restoring these beauties back to their original look and feel was a fun task. We added a touch of Beach color to each. […]

This generational home, originally owned by their parents, was passed on to the youngest son. My job was particularly challenging to capture small details of the old, for example, creating a special keepsake table out of an old piece of driftwood pulled from the beach by his parents. It was a fun framing challenge refreshing […]

The family of four children, now grown, had many memories at this beachside condo prior to its flood. Our team completely gutted the inside and refreshed every aspect of its mechanical structure and of course the design. We upgraded everything from electrical to insulation, to waterproofing. It hadn’t been touched since the 1980’s. Now their […]

Poway fires ravaged this family’s home as it was a complete loss. We felt very blessed to create their new large estate home in an exquisite tuscan style. Each new detail had many challenges as the their needs changed from the original home that the children grew up in. We created an amazing outdoor space […]

This investment project has a special place in my heart. Its simple design was a challenge to look ‘extra special’ without over spending. The fresh new open kitchen and family room flows immediately out doors through a huge expanse of sliding doors. The most challenging was the small footprint because the temptation is to add […]

An extremely large project that faced many hurdles along the way was particularly gratifying upon completion. It has an elevator, a basement not really seen in southern California, and a dramatic floating staircase. Very rewarding to watch each of the three stories take shape over the course of 18 months. A timeless estate.
