Our Home Renovation

Malibu Home Renovation – Lower Level Video Tour

June 11, 2015
  • Share

Okay, it has been a few weeks since I last updated you on our Malibu home renovation project.  As you may know, this is the approximately 4000 square foot house that my guy TE and I have been remodeling for the last year.  The house was a fixer up that we tore down to the studs and are now rebuilding (with the help of our really nice contractor GB).   In the past videos I have posted here on the blog, I have taken you on tours of the upstairs which includes the public rooms (kitchen, den, dining and living room) and a nice size master bedroom suite (complete with walk in closet, bath and our own office/sitting room).   The lower level of the house is where we will have an additional 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.  This area also includes a junior master bedroom that we will use as our guest room.

Anyhooo…in this video you will see that our insulation has gone in and we passed that inspection…and next video will be dry wall!

Here’s the floor plan to downstairs.  I only have a really early version of the floor plan for upstairs…I’ll share that soon too!

Malibu Home Renovation Downstairs Floor Plan

These three bedrooms were on the upper level. This whole area was the home’s only kitchen, dining room and a t.v. room. We thought it was weird to have the dining room and kitchen on the lower level of the home so we put all of the bedrooms except for the master bedroom suite on the lower level. What do you think of that choice? A little late for changes but would love to hear your thoughts.

Happy Thursday!

    Love the layout of your new home. You must be so excited to see all the changes taking shape. I so look forward to getting to see the progression of this beautiful project. You were so smart to see the potential this home has. That view is going to be the highlight for years to come. I vote for hardwoods in the kitchen (from a previous post), but you may have already chosen tile, which will be beautiful as well. Thanks for sharing the updates with us!

Starting the week with good energy, a little confiStarting the week with good energy, a little confidence, and absolutely no reason to wait for Friday to feel fabulous. 😉
Try these little things to lift your mood today:
✨ Put on the playlist that makes you happy
☕ Grab your favorite coffee
👗 Wear the outfit that makes you feel confident

Good energy doesn’t always have to come from something big. Sometimes, you can create it yourself.
Here’s to a feel-good Monday! 🖤

Heidi Caillier Design took this historic San Francisco home and layered floral wallpaper, striped drapery, checked linens, and antique textiles room after room without a single one feeling overdone. Marble mantels, gilt mirrors, brass fixtures, and warm wood floors do the quiet work of holding it all together.
This is what happens when “more” is chosen on purpose.
Save this for the masterclass in mixing prints. 🔖

A great bathroom isn’t just functional, it’s the one room in the house that’s entirely yours. The stone you choose, the way light hits the fixtures, the tub you actually want to sit in. These are the ones that get it exactly right.
Save this for your next bathroom renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Here’s a little throwback toHappy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
Here’s a little throwback to a Labor Day dinner party I hosted a few years ago, and honestly, we’d still do it this way. 🥂✨
Hosting this Labor Day? Keep it simple:
• Set the table with one statement detail + neutral basics
• Choose a menu you can prep ahead so you’re not cooking all night
• Add candles or flowers to make the table feel special
• Serve everything family-style for a more relaxed feel
• Don’t overthink it. The best dinners are the ones where everyone lingers a little longer 🤍
Save this for your next dinner party and send it to someone who’s hosting! 🍽️

The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. Soft, sculptural, and impossible to walk past without wanting to sit down. The rooms that get it right pair it with something unexpected: a dramatic mural, an antique screen, a city skyline, a hand-laid mosaic floor.
Which bouclé sofa room would you want to sink into? Drop your answer 👇
