Our Home Renovation

Malibu Home Remodeling Project – Kitchen Framing Video

April 16, 2015

Malibu Home Remodeling Project Kitchen Framed Up
This will be the kitchen and casual eating area in the house in Malibu.

Okay…another installment on the Malibu Home Remodeling Project that TE and I have been working on for the last year. This is the house that TE and I are going to live in with his son. This week, TE and I visited the house to have a meeting with our contractor GB. We were there to discuss finances and check out the progress.

When we walked into the front door, with our spreadsheets in hand…we were blown away because the kitchen breakfast “nook” foundation and framing were up. A room that was once dark with low ceilings and was actually the home’s master bedroom…was now transformed with the framing out of the kitchen.  We are still deciding on the floors (we were going to do cement but now that the space appears so large…we will probably just carry over the wood throughout)…and we will be using Caesarstone for waterfall kitchen island counters.

See video below for the tour of the newly framed kitchen.

Here is what the room looked like before we started remodeling.

Malibu Home Remodeling Project - Master Bedroom Before
Before – This is the master bedroom when we first got the house…low paneled ceilings and dark. Not taking advantage of the view. Now this room is larger with high ceilings and it is the kitchen!

Another angle of the master bedroom before it was gutted, extended and framed into our soon-to-be kitchen.

What do you think?  Things look different?  Should we do a built in banquette for the seating under the windows in the kitchen?  Please advise.

Happy Thursday!

    WHAT a stunning view! I’d go with a low profile (so it doesn’t block the view) banquette or eating nook area, with a large island in the kitchen that can also take advantage of that glorious view.

    We looked at Caesarstone, but ended up with granite because we felt it was stronger (and less ‘needy’) and came in the slightly large slab size we needed. We really didn’t want any seams. Caesarstone can be gorgeous though. 🙂

    Your home is going to be super gorgeous . . . and the view — out of this world. I live in Canada where our snow is almost gone. In California you are lucky to have sun, sun and more sun! I can hardly wait to see your next installment of photos. Good luck with your renovations.

    The project is amazing, what a transformation! Given extent of remodeling, how did you determine to remodel verses tear down and build? Have you gotten to a point that you feel it would have been more cost effective to build? Thank you I’m trying to determine that on a project we are working on.

      For us so far, it has been more cost effective to work with existing structure. We will be able to assess fully at the endod of the project. It may turn out the reverse! Each project is different. You should have your contractor price out both options for you in the form of an estimate. Send pictures of your project! Sounds exciting!

    From the first day on I am following your remodeling project. I like the transformation into a bright and open space. Besides, we don´t have to talk about your view – its the best I have ever seen so far. Everything you, TE and your contractor have done looks really fantastic – congratulations!
    We have used “Belgian Bluestone” in our little cottage kitchen and it looks really great in combination with natural wood floors. I would go with a big kitchen island surrounded by Belgian Bluestone and nice natural wood floors in the other kitchen area. Anyhow; You and TE will make the best out of it anyway. I am looking forward seeing more pictures of your house renovation. Good luck and a lot of fun! Sunny greetings from Germany!

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!
