Project Spotlight: San Juan Home Refresh with East Coast Sophistication

When our clients made the move from New York to San Juan Capistrano, they brought with them a love for classic, east coast design—and a desire to make their new, more Tuscan-style home reflect their own taste. Our goal? To honor the home’s roots while bringing in a lighter, more refined aesthetic that felt fresh, functional, and elevated.

A Kitchen with a Fresh Perspective

Rather than starting from scratch, we gave the kitchen a thoughtful facelift. We refaced the existing cabinetry, chose new countertops and a timeless backsplash, and introduced elegant lighting and furnishings to bring the whole space to life. By removing some of the heavier traditional molding, we lightened up the room without stripping it of character.

Reimagining Everyday Spaces

The breakfast room got a cozy update with a remodeled fireplace that now serves as a charming focal point. The formal dining room, previously underused, was converted into a multi-functional office space that serves both practical and aesthetic purposes—a move that reflects how families truly live today.

Entertaining Upgrades

On the main floor, we revived the living room and sitting room with fresh furnishings that blended comfort with quiet luxury. One of our favorite transformations was turning two extra storage closets into a walk-through bar—a hidden gem that adds both function and flair, perfect for entertaining.

A Primary Suite Retreat

Upstairs, we fully remodeled the primary suite, transforming it into a private retreat. The bathroom layout was reimagined to incorporate a large wet room with a steam shower—a spa-like escape that feels as indulgent as it is functional.

A Lounge for the Next Generation

We didn’t forget the younger members of the household. The upstairs teen lounge got a complete furniture refresh and the addition of a built-in snack bar, making it the perfect spot for movie nights, homework hangouts, and everything in between.

A Harmonious Blend

The final result is a home that beautifully blends Tuscan roots with east coast refinement, full of warmth, light, and tailored details that suit the family’s lifestyle. This San Juan project is proof that you can reimagine a space without erasing its history—and the results can be both stunning and personal.
