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!

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.

London based interior designers at Studio Ashby @s London based interior designers at Studio Ashby @studioashby along with French architect Antoinette Zalewski @antoinettezalewskiarchitecte transformed this St Germain residence from two separate units into a seamless, elevated whole. New parquet floors, restored panelling, a bespoke staircase, and custom rugs. Every detail shaped by skilled fine craftsmen and a serene, neutral palette drawn from the colours of Paris itself. ✨

Always nice to be back here.

Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than e Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than everything else?
While living in this cute 3 bed 2 bath apartment in the 6ème, I realized it comes down to a few things done really well:
• High ceilings
They create space without adding anything
• Herringbone wood floors
Classic, subtle, and never go out of style
• Crown molding + ceiling medallions
The detail that quietly elevates the entire room
• Interior French doors
They give you openness and separation at the same time
• Natural light
The one thing you can’t fake
I’m staying in this adorable pied-a-terre for a two months. It is my sister and brother in law’s place; they invited me to cozy up here on my own while they are back home in LA.
Every room keeps proving the same point. It’s not about adding more. It’s about getting the foundation right.
If you could only bring one of these Paris apartment design elements into your home, which one would it be?

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
If you want to shop these looks, comment SHOP and I will send you the link.
