Swatt | Miers had already established the language: stone floors, wood ceiling planes, glass walls, and the Orinda hills as a fourth room.

Our role was to stay in conversation with the architecture. Same palette, same temperature, same restraint. Every detail had to respond to the house - the furniture, the textiles, the way light moves across the plaster.

The painting in the living room is the one moment that pushes against the quiet. A cityscape set against all that landscape. It creates just enough tension, and earns its place.

The brief was simple: a minimalist home for a family of five who actually lives in it.

I kept the walls white, chose a table that could handle real use, and let the color come from them. The helmet, the skateboard, the leather jacket.

The artwork spelling FAMILY in brand logos — Facebook, A for Alpinestars, etc. This is what it looks like when a home knows exactly who lives there.

We set the furniture first. Once we saw the Jamie Nares above the bar and the Laura Alexander anchoring the living room, we knew they found their places.

Art doesn't merely decorate a room. It completes one.

A gallery wall that makes the journey just as good as the arrival. Framed moments catching light, turning a hallway into something worth pausing for.

The breakfast room gets such beautiful warm morning sun. It is the kind of space that makes you want to linger a little longer with your coffee, read the paper, and ease into the day. Morning light fills this breakfast room, drawing you toward the windows and the warm spring day ahead. It is the kind of space that makes you want to linger a little longer, coffee in hand, taking in the view as everything outside begins to come to life.

Designed around the way you actually want to live - with space for the hobbies, rituals, and just everyday moments that make it feel like yours.

A well-designed entry sets the tone for the entire home. In a Spanish-style house especially, it offers that quiet sense of warmth, character, and old-world charm from the very beginning.

I love this Cherner counterstool in this space. It brings warmth, character, and a sculptural element to an otherwise clean-lined kitchen.

You move from one space to the next and everything feels connected. A place to have cocktails in the living room, then settle in around the table just a few steps away. The light, scale, and the softness of the materials carry through, making the entire space feel cohesive, inviting, and easy to live in.

Ready for spring weather and everything that comes with it.
