Did you know that Gidget is a real person? Not only did she put surfing on the map, but she continued to ride the waves here in Malibu into her 80s. She was kind enough to autograph this amazing Zuma Jay surfboard for us and it’s going to hang in the screening room of our new project on Point Dume. Can’t wait to see it installed on those cashmere walls!

I know the concept of a black kitchen may be controversial… But I think it’s pretty damn sexy. What do you think???

It’s starting to look like a pool! The plaster is in, water is slowly starting to fill, and, miracle of miracles, the waterline tile matches the walls. Yeehah!!!

Thank you, everybody for your input about the boxwoods! We did not move them closer together, we’ve given them plenty of room to grow. Love to hear your thoughts!

What do you think of the navy blue walls? We’re going for a nautical look in this room, inspired by Vintage boat flags.

Faux finishing anyone?? Dean Ruiz is a master finisher who we’ve worked with on many projects. He can turn an ugly Redwood ceiling into a serene birch, colored expanse, make a table top look like malachite, or, as we’re doing here in our new project, make boring older look like aged pine. It takes a very special kind of artist to create work that is designed not to be noticed. To look as if it’s natural. I can’t wait for you to see the final result once we take away all the protective cover covering.

Designer Hack Monday: how to add character to any room on any budget? In the secondary bedroom at our Point Dume project, we use base molding, beadboard and chairrail to create a chic detail that extends into the bathroom. It’s also a nod to traditional Beach House style, making it perfect for Malibu . Also, This is the definition of a DIY project you could do in a weekend that adds huge appeal very affordably. Let us know what you think!

The good news is this Ideas fundamentally sound and I think it’ll look terrific. The bad news is I think we need to place the boxwoods closer together to get the immediate impact of the hedge. Love to hear your thoughts.
