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!

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
