Pacific Palisades effortless Revamp after 20 years!

Effortless revamp after 20 years.   It's hard to pull off because you run the risk of making the things you're keeping look out-of-date. My client loves her  home!

Anatomy of a Project

I receive an inquiry from a relocating Australian family for help with their (entire) new LA home. Not sure how long their stay will be, they lease.   I survey the empty home.  Communicating via Skype meetings from Sydney to LA, Copenhagen, Paris to Bali, I assess their needs, advising them on what to bring […]
