Malibu Home Renovation - Caesarstone & More

September 4, 2015
  • Share
caesarstone bathroom sink cococozy
Our custom floating integrated sink made of Caesarstone Frosty Carrina! Finally it is in!

Happy Friday!  With the long holiday upon us…I can’t wait to relax with my guy TE and family!  I just got back from Chicago late last night.  Was there on business for 3 days.  Loved Chicago.  Check out my Instagram feed to see a little glimpse of my trip there but I am so happy to be home.

Got home and there are still so many little things to do here at our house…our Malibu home renovation is nearly complete but all of the finishing touches seem to be taking forever.  Everything looks finished but unfinished…missing light switch plates, missing stair railing, need barn doors, light fixtures, shelving, attic doors built out, laundry room shelves, floor vent covers and paint, paint and paint.  I didn’t mention all of the  landscaping that needs to be done and furniture that needs to be sourced and acquired (using the word acquired lately as a euphemism for the words “buy”, “spend”, and “purchase”…all words that stress my guy TE out understandably).

Anyhooo…as I sit here in the house with my Friday off…and I have a few workmen and the electricians here…I wanted to give you a little update.

One big thing is that we finally got our quartz Caesarstone bathroom integrated sink installed and the mirror.  See above.  We used a Caesarstone called Frosty Carrina in the master bath.  I love it.  Conventional design wisdom is to not mix quartz and marble surfaces in the same room.  Well we threw conventional wisdom out of the door because it made no sense.  We are so happy with our decision.  We have a beautiful durable bathroom sink top made of Caesarstone paired with a gorgeous marble basketweave floor and a blue marble moonstone tile wall and it all works together perfectly.  Love!

Anyhooo…here are some glimpse of what is going on in our little world of renovating a house on a hill in Malibu.

Now onto our custom design sofa…these are some sofa leg finishes and styles we looked at. We are building a 12’x10′ sectional for our main living room!

Custom cabinets are being built around the vent over the stove in our kitchen. Notice the Caesarstone backsplash. Still waiting for our kitchen island to be finished!

 

Malibu Home renovation vent covers
Vent covers we are using throughout the house…some are my custom designed covers that we will use on the master bedroom ceilings. Others are stock cast metal designs for the public rooms. Love these

 

Cococozy Embroidered Pillows
COCOCOZY embroidered pillows in the master bedroom! So much fun using my textile designs in the house.
Moonstone Basketweave Mosaic Tile
This is my favorite tile in the house. Moonstone, basalt, white marble basketweave mosaic used in the downstairs bathroom.
Malibu home renovation living room
This is view down hall off the living room. Stairs still need treads and we need a railing for the downstairs.

 

Hope you enjoyed these little glimpses of our renovation project. This weekend, TE and I are running some errands and then relaxing with family and friends.  Should be a good time.

Hope you have a great Labor Day weekend!

Happy Friday!

    Georgeous house and selections, Coco! Can’t wait to see the finishes 🙂
    Totally agree with you on mixing the marbles and Caesarstone. I’d do it too. What is your source for the vent covers (customized and stock)? I love them!
    Thanks,

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
