This year, design is all about new elements, new innovations, and new combinations. All of this innovation means a lot of new products on the market, but it also means that existing elements are being re-purposed and used in new ways. Forget everything you knew about how to use colors and design statements, because in 2012, you’ll be re-learning all of it.
Patterned Paint
Traditional paint techniques are giving way to exciting designs. These new motifs include lace, hound’s-tooth patterns, color blocking, and more.

Most San Diego homes were built with primary bedrooms […]
Hiring a remodeling contractor is one of the largest financial decisions most San Diego homeowners make. A kitchen remodel, home addition, or whole-home renovation involves significant money, months of living disruption, and a contractor working inside your most valuable asset. The protections you put in place before work starts determine how much control you keep […]
You need more space, but a full room addition feels like a bigger project than you’re ready to take on. That’s where a bump-out comes in. A bump-out addition is one of the most practical, cost-effective ways to expand a San Diego home without the complexity of a full-scale addition — and for the right […]
