Yeah, 2019, the fall of 2019 And I had a bunch of ideas of where I could possibly do it But I didn't really have one set in stone And so I kind of just felt it And we were just walking in Madrid one day And we decided to get some like charcuterie and cheese And have a picnic at Teatro Park In Madrid And I just kind of had a feeling I might do it then And so we walked over to this park And we just had wine and charcuterie Because Camille loves that And so I just proposed there It was beautiful It was in fall And the leaves were turning different colors And falling And yeah, I just fumbled my way through it And she said yes And yeah, it was perfect for me Welcome to our entryway So this is the entry to our home I think like I mentioned before It connects to our living room It's a small space But I definitely wanted to have a dedicated entry space in our home And so some of the things I'd like to point out here Is this big art piece I knew I wanted a large abstract art piece here I knew I wanted it to be neutral Because I do like to swap out flowers And different decor seasonally And so I actually painted this piece myself My mom's an artist So I'm really fortunate That original art is something I've grown up with And so when I knew I wanted a really large piece here I decided to give it a try And so I bought the big canvas And I painted it this neutral beige color And then I just kept sending my mom photos of it As I would do more and more layers To say, oh, do you think this is enough yet Do you think it's enough And she basically kept saying Add more layers, add more layers And so it's just a ton of layers of paint And pastel and pencil Just all built up until it finally felt complex enough That it had enough depth that it felt complete And so I got the frame for it And then we hung it up And it's been here ever since So I really love that piece Other things in this entryway This lamp here is one of my favorite finds There's a consignment store About five minutes from here Called Consignment Classics That I go to all the time And this is probably my best find Ever at Consignment Classics It's an alabaster lamp It's super heavy And I got it for $60, I think And the shade was horrible So I threw that away And got this new shade for it That I think is so cute and unique So yeah, that was a great find Also, I mean, I love putting fresh flowers here Like I said, I change them out seasonally These I got at a Carlsbad flower market Which just has a ton of different Flowers you can choose from So that's always fun to swap things out there And then another thing that I did Is I really liked hanging these market baskets Over here by the front door We went on a trip to Provence A couple of years ago And I just kept seeing market bags everywhere In Provence And then I would see photos of homes in Provence That had just tons of market bags And baskets all by the door And I thought that it was It looked so beautiful But it was also so practical You can just grab one And head down to the farmer's market Or we like to take them to the beach So that's something I did that I think Looks really beautiful But it's also super practical My favorite part of this entry Is definitely Zuri's little dog bed We like are obsessed with Zuri Like ask any of our family and friends And we're just like Completely obsessed with Zuri We're like the luckiest ever She's just the sweetest So yeah so I love it And Zuri obviously loves it She's always you know Hanging out there And it's like her little like domain She's got a domain In every single room in the house She's got a bed I also really love this seascape here It's an original piece That we got in Laguna Beach Had a friend of mine First Thursday And we just love art It's something I didn't really have When I was growing up Original art And I'm just super thankful That Camille introduced me to that Because I just am obsessed with art now And it just really brings in That human element to it Like just you can kind of feel A lot of times the brush strokes In the paintings and stuff So it's great One of my favorite things to do With Camille and just anyone Is to go to the beach And we just live a mile from the beach And so we're always there And we like to just watch the sunset And collect our seashells So some of these have just come From our local beaches here in Cardiff But some of them have come From very far away We've some of them have come From the beaches of Normandy And also New Zealand And probably others But I don't remember right now I would say I make most of the design decisions Being an interior designer Marco definitely has opinions Which I welcome It's been a journey since moving in To learn how to work together And work with each other's style But I think we've in recent years Gotten into a good groove Of making style design decisions together I think that the style of our home is It really tells our story And that's I think the most important thing When you're designing a home Especially for me as an interior designer I want to make sure that any home I design Including my own Tells the story of the family that lives there And so for us There's a lot of different components to that So I moved around a lot growing up I grew up outside of Philadelphia And all my family is from Indiana originally And then I moved to the West Coast When I was in high school And so I think throughout the home You can see little elements From all those different places Which I really like And it makes it really unique to us And then also I think our home is really collected And so we've incorporated pieces That we've got throughout our travels Or that we've just collected over the years So that's something that I really wanted To emphasize in our home And then I think our home is also Has coastal touches I think it's important for a home To reflect the environment where it's at And so since we are so close to the beach I like to incorporate little nods to the ocean And the coastal area And right off our entryway Is our living room So when we moved in here One of the challenges with this space Is that there's not a ton of natural light On our first floor here And so a lot of the renovations And things that we've done Have all been with the goal To make it as light and bright as possible And so when we moved in This built-in was here Which I loved It was one of my favorite things about the home But it was a really orangey colored wood And then the flooring used to be a grayish tile And the walls and the ceiling Were painted the same beige color So it was different And it just felt really dark And like I said not a ton of natural light And so over the years We've slowly made improvements And so we painted all the cabinetry white We added the tongue and groove in the room To help brighten it up as well We painted the ceiling a light blue color Which is one of my favorite touches It's Ferro and Ball borrowed light And then we also changed the flooring To be this like light oak flooring So all of that makes it feel a lot brighter And a lot more happy in here I think And so with the built-in here I love built-ins and bookcases That are just filled with books That look really lived in and collected And so but with that It can get pretty busy quickly If you're not careful You know books are really colorful And it can start to feel overwhelming So one thing that I did on our built-in here To try to combat that Is I repeated the same Cream colored bone picture frames throughout To help try to calm down All the colors of the books As well as all the photos That I put in the frames are black and white Again to not bring in too much color Into the bookcase And so that helps it to feel cohesive throughout But also like I said to tone down The busyness of the bookshelves And then what else do we have here We have some really nice artwork So this piece up here my mom painted I mentioned she's an artist This is of the beach here in Cardiff So this is the beach that we go to Whenever it's a nice sunny day Which is pretty frequent here in San Diego And we love going here Zuri loves being here as well And so that's always fun And then I have a couple other art pieces This is just a nocturnal seascape That I got at a thrift store or something I don't even remember But I saw it and I loved it Because I didn't have any nocturnal seascapes So that's really cool And then another thing that we've done So we live in a pretty small space here And we don't have a dedicated bar area And we don't really have room For a whole bar cart or a bar setup And so we decided to take over This little corner of our built-in As our bar area And so we added this big wood tray And then just put a ton of bottles on it And it works really well So we were trying to think creatively How to use the small space To fill the void that we had Of not having like a dedicated bar area Or a large kitchen or things like that And then in the living room here As we mentioned We wanted to keep our furniture Really flexible We didn't want to have a big sectional That really defines your space We wanted to keep it So that we can move the chairs around As needed for different events That we're having And so right now The seating is kind of In a more conversational layout Which is really nice most of the time But sometimes if we're watching a game Or anything We'll move the chairs around as needed Which is nice These chairs I also got at Consignment Classics My favorite place And I refinished them into this dark brown When I got them they were white And they were The paint was chipping everywhere And the cushions were dark green And not very cute So I got them I refinished them And then I had the cushions made And then one thing that I've made the mistake before Is when you're putting chairs Directly in front of a built-in It can be really tricky with scale A lot of times because the built-in Is table height So sometimes your chairs Especially a lot of chairs nowadays Feel really small And so the taller Table height of the built-in Can make your chairs feel especially small And so when I had the cushions made For these chairs One thing I did is I Wanted them even a couple inches Taller than the back of the chair So that you know They would feel like the right scale With the built-in behind it And then yeah We just have this coffee table I really love this marble coffee table It's a great piece It's incredibly heavy It's a nightmare to move But it's very sturdy And then we have this Super comfortable sofa Which is great Most of the time I actually have a quilt Here on the seat of the sofa Because it's one of Zuri's Favorite places to sit And so it doesn't get too dirty It's a performance fabric So it's actually been pretty good But the quilt does help to Just make it easier to throw that in the wash Rather than having to wash All of the cushions all the time So my favorite things to do here Are just to have people over and host We just have a big family And we just love to have everyone over We like we mentioned It's a small space So we had to be really careful About everything that we picked for this space And make it as like flexible as possible So we have a lot of like chairs here And some like in other little areas Throughout the home And we just kind of bring it all together For things like a USC game day We just have all our friends over And kind of like move it all towards the TV And that's just been really fun It's super easy to just kind of move them around And it's great Because we really can fit a ton of people in here Like I think we've had I don't know like 20 people maybe I don't know maybe not 15 People come and watch the games with us And yeah it's been really fun I also just love this couch It's so comfortable And it's just like It serves a bunch of different kind of uses Like just hang out watching TV But it's also like I love like laying on sofas And so especially with Zuri And so we just usually like every weekend We kind of always have like a time Where we just hang out here And just chill together And it's one of my favorite things to do It's one of my favorite parts of the home And like as you know We're just so obsessed with Zuri We have a portrait of her That Camille's mom did for us And it's just it's actually a photo That we have from Just one of our trips to the beach down here And she's just like having the best time of her life Just you know smiling And yeah she loves the beach She's like always smiling when we go there Okay so another thing that we did in this space As I mentioned there's not a ton of natural light And so we wanted to add a Dutch door That had a window at the top So that we could add more natural light in here And also Dutch doors are just so cute And they bring so much character to a space And so yeah I love it We painted it this light blue color It's Farrow & Ball light blue And it's great it's just really cute We ended up choosing this home Primarily for the location So we knew we really wanted to be in Cardiff And as Marco mentioned It's a pretty small community So there's not honestly a ton of choices Of homes in Cardiff And so we pretty much had narrowed it down To this specific development As to where we wanted to be And so at that point It just kind of became a waiting game And we were waiting for Different properties in this development To come on to the market And we saw one or two Only one We saw one or two before we saw this one And it was hard to pass them up And it was definitely a big struggle Of if we were doing the right thing But it just didn't feel 100% right And then when we saw this home We purchased this home From the original owner The home was built in the 60s So having one owner For that entire period of time Was obviously really unique For this area too And that was something That we really loved about this home Because it had been the same owner The whole time And so we could tell And you could just feel That the home had been really loved And taken care of And so that was something That we were looking for And so while we picked this home Style wise It didn't mesh with our style at all Like I said it was an elderly man Who lived here before So not quite our style But yeah It had been really well taken care of And kept up And so we loved that My advice for new homeowners Who are starting with Pretty much nothing Would be to invest In really classic pieces Furniture is so expensive And so I think that if you Are making sure that You're using your money wisely And you're purchasing neutral And really timeless silhouettes Of furniture I think that that's a really good way to go And then if you do want to Have some trendy pieces Buy those more cheaply So that if you want to get rid of them In five years you don't feel bad Something that we did That was really helpful for us Is just really planning out What we wanted to do every year Every year in the beginning of the year We would come together And just kind of plan out What improvements And what furnishings We wanted to buy for that year And set aside that money for it As I mentioned We started with nothing And so And all our money went into the down payment And so we really had to do it over time Because we just didn't have any other options And so that's advice I would give to Any new homeowner Is just take that time And plan it out And budget for it Because it will happen Over time It won't happen right away But over time I think you really start To really learn about each other And grow together as a couple And you can kind of collect That journey that you've experienced over time And you can really bring it into your home And so that's something we've done And I think that's really helpful advice For other people Another thing would be Don't rush to fill your rooms You know it's even hard for me Because you want your room to be done And complete But I think that It's really good to be patient And wait for the right items And don't just rush to get it done With whatever is available Or what you can afford at that moment I think it's okay to have rooms That are empty or halfway done And just wait for the right pieces to come along And then in the long run It'll cost you less Because you did it right the first time And you'll love it that much more I guess one other thing that I think is really good advice Is to really ask for the help When you need it I think if you need interior design help You should really you know Consider hiring an interior designer Or if you need some help with a contractor Or with construction Hire a contractor I think it's really helpful to Kind of you know build that team And get that expert help When you need it I know it's tough when you first start Because you're just really Having to be smart with your money But I think it's some of the smartest money You can invest in As an interior designer Because you're really just doing it right Kind of the first time It's really helpful To really just understand yourself And the journey And what you're trying to portray And it's just you're doing it right From the beginning And you're learning how to invest wisely You know your money And you can just do it over time And they you know I think it's just really really valuable That just pays Dividends in the long run It really just helps Create that better home for you That you will love And you'll just have You know forever And now we'll just walk over To our dining room OK so this is our dining space And the first thing I'll talk about here Is this art piece And so I knew I wanted another Abstract art piece here on this wall But I wanted it to be different From the one in the entryway I wanted it to be much more geometric And so I started researching Different abstract art Especially geometric And I was really Wanted something circular For some reason And so I started learning About this artist Her name is Hilma Af Klint And she was actually One of the first abstract artists She's not that known about At least I didn't know about her But she has these really stunning Way ahead of their time Circular paintings And so this one was inspired by her She has a very similar one That I loved But it wasn't in the colors of my room So I created this one That's really similar to hers But in the colors Of our whole space down here And so I really love that piece And I love the way it turned out And then another thing One of my favorite things In the whole house I would say Is this wicker pedestal and urn And this is actually a fun story So my old interior design boss Bought it for me That's definitely something I learned That working in interior design Is a huge perk Because your boss and your co-workers Know what items you're obsessing over And what you really want to have In your own house And so for Christmas one year My boss bought me this pedestal and urn And surprised me with it And it was just the best gift And I'll have it forever And over here We just have a couple other art pieces This one Camille's mom Made for us as well It's a plein air art piece And she's all over our home She's a great artist And she's so talented And can do so many different things And so this is just a seascape Another seascape Just to bring that coastal touch to our home And then over here We just found this When we were traveling in Belgium We were just kind of walking The streets of Brussels And we didn't even plan this But we just stumbled upon It seemed like their design district Off these couple of streets in Brussels And it was like stunning Like the stores and boutiques Were just like so special Like we've been in like France And like England and Spain and all that And just like this couple of streets In Brussels was just so spectacular The stuff that we were finding And we unfortunately Couldn't like afford a lot of them There were some really, really cool pieces But we found this at A kind of antique store And it's just a simple Kind of sketch of a street in Brussels With the home And so we just fell in love with it And you know brought it back with us So we always try to on our travels Bring like some element We have this We have some stuff Like some table runners from Peru And we just love to like when we go Just kind of bring something from there But just in a very like Classic and timeless way So we can just always have it You know throughout You know our life together I think my favorite room in the house I would say is our kitchen Just because I love My favorite activity at night time Is to dim the lights Turn on the music Pour some wine And just make a really fantastic dinner It's just something that really relaxes me And gets me in the best mood And so I think Because of that the kitchen is my favorite space My favorite space is It's really hard for me to say Which is my favorite place Because Camille has just done Such a fabulous job everywhere here Like I love every Every space for different reasons Like the living room for example I love it because I get to cuddle with my dog My Zuri like every weekend On her little cloud couch And super comfortable And I just love hanging out with her Cuddling up with her I also just love the kitchen Camille's just done such a great job Like bring so much life in there With her design And just kind of bring in Some of the touches from Other parts of the home Just making it really feel very homey In that kitchen And just love it Because everyone just goes to our kitchen We have a big family And we just have a lot of people over A lot of friends over And it's just been really fun And like everyone says Everyone just goes to the kitchen And just you know to eat And food just really big part of our life We love making food for our family and friends This is our kitchen This is my favorite space in the house We recently redid the countertops Which is really exciting for me That's something that I have been looking forward to doing Since we moved in seven years ago So we finally did that a couple months ago We went with a Carrara marble So I love the way it turned out And also one thing that I always try to do in kitchens Is to make them feel really homey I don't like it when kitchens feel too sterile And so I like to do that by bringing in rugs And lots of lamps and other things That are typically more thought of as items That belong in a living room or a bedroom But I like to bring them into the kitchen as well To make sure that your kitchen has The same cozy feeling as the rest of the house And then another thing to point out in here That I did also to kind of create the cozy feeling Was I hung these baskets up here From the ceiling And there's a photo Well lots of photos of Martha Stewart's First kitchen at her house in Turkey Hill And she has The ceiling is just covered with baskets And copper pots and it's just stunning And I have been obsessed with it forever And so it's my dream to one day have a pot rack With tons of beautiful copper pots like Martha But for now I had to go for the baskets And just to give it a little bit of the cozy feeling And a nod to Martha Stewart This is also one of my favorite rooms It's where Camille makes her fantastic roast chickens And her chili for game days And it's just like she's a wonderful cook And I'm super happy And lucky that she makes all this stuff for us And so one of my favorite things here Like we were saying is just having people over And we created a cookbook club Or we host a cookbook club with our friends And everyone just brings a dish over We first pick a book And everyone kind of picks a recipe From the cookbook And we come together here And we just kind of put it all here On this peninsula And just enjoy that together And it's been really fun to see All our friends go from real real amateur College you know cooks To like being really really good Good cooks now And so it's been really fun to Kind of see that journey One of our favorite cookbooks That we've done for cookbook club Is this one here It's Ina Garten's cookbook Cook like a pro This is really fun Because like Ina Garten is like the best She's so good Everything every recipe she's done Is just like spectacular So it really made our friends Look like professional chefs And it's totally just due to Just Ina Garten having the best recipes So this is one that we've really liked We've done one of our friend favorite Was a Hawaiian cookbook that we had And so that was really fun We did like the whole spread With all you know the porks And the rice the salads the mac salad And so that was really fun to do But we've done so many We've done like Mexican cookbooks We've done like Christy Teigen We've done like so many And it's just been really really fun All our friends Just you know love it And they are always asking to do it more So that's been really fun I've grown to love together Is just you know the food Like we've been mentioning and traveling And so one of the ways That we do that together Is just when we travel We go to some of the Some great restaurants around the world And so right here we have A menu from French Laundry We couldn't go We couldn't travel During our honeymoon Because we got married in 2020 So we decided to just go up the coast And go to Napa Sonoma and Big Sur And so we went to the French Laundry And we also went to Single Thread And yeah that blew our minds Because it was the first time We had gone to a restaurant like that It was just so so much fun Now we'll head up to our guest bathroom It's a small bathroom But we did a couple of Really fun things in here First being that I painted these stripes on the wall myself It was a ton of work But I'm really happy with the way That it turned out So that was a fun touch And then something else That we did in here that I love Is when we did the kitchen countertop downstairs We had to get two slabs And so we ended up with some extra marble And so we did the countertops up here as well And then instead of just doing A traditional backsplash I wanted to do a shelf I thought that it would be A really fun and interesting detail Without adding a ton of cost For the fabricator Because it's so simple It's really just two pieces of marble That they essentially glued together But it just adds something fun And it makes it look a lot more custom I think to me what gives a home soul Is kind of what I said before About how your home should tell the story of you And of your family And to me that's through art And things you've collected And books and photos And things that are meaningful to you So to me I think that's what Really gives a home personality And makes it feel kind of like Its own character in the story And just I think what always brings it Brings the home soul Is just that human touch And so whatever you like to do in your life Or what's important to you Should really just come out So family is huge for us And food is huge in our life And so we've kind of done a lot In the kitchen in terms of that And just having like our small space Being really flexible To be able to just incorporate All our family So what I think brings soul to a home Is just really just bringing in A lot of those things That you love in your life And you know with your wife And your family And your dog Zuri So this is our primary bathroom It's an exact mirror image Of our guest bathroom So I ended up doing the same thing With the marble shelf here That I did in the other bathroom And I love it And then in here instead of the stripes I wanted to go for a trellis pattern Because it kind of ties in The themes that you'll see In our bedroom here Now we'll head over Into our primary bedroom So this is our primary bedroom I really wanted this space To feel really cozy And so I wanted to paint it A darker color actually As opposed to the downstairs Where everything is light So we painted this room Ferro and Ball French Gray Which I love It's just a beautiful Dusty cozy green And then I wanted the bed To feel really fresh And just kind of like a cloud You wanted to jump into And so we have a lot of white bedding But then we also have this quilt At the foot of the bed Because Zuri does love to sleep At the foot of our bed And so the quilt kind of helps So that it's not white bedding That we're concerned She's going to get A little paw prints on And then we have this beautiful Art piece above our bed That my mom painted as well This is of San Ysidro Ranch Which I mentioned Is where we got married So this is actually The ceremony site At San Ysidro Ranch It's just the most beautiful Property up in Montecito And they have the most Beautiful gardens And there's mountains Behind the property And the ocean out in the distance And it's just the most Stunning place So it was a dream To get married there Also in this room We have a couple of these Chinoiserie panels Which I got from Etsy Which they turned out Really nicely They're hand painted And I love them It's my dream one day To have a full Chinoiserie wallpapered bedroom Of blue panels Similar to this But for this house We weren't going to Wallpaper the whole room So I just got a couple Panels framed So it still gives me that feeling Without having to wallpaper The whole space And then over here For one of my nightstands I've always loved skirted tables I think that they're So pretty and feminine And so I thought that It would be really fun To do one as a nightstand And they're also Really cost effective way To have a really Upgraded upscale Looking side table And so I just bought the fabric And had a local seamstress Make the tablecloth for me And I love the way That it turned out One of my favorite things That Camille does Throughout her home Is just bring in A lot of candles She loves like Bringing in that layered lighting That ambient lighting And so right here We have just a Joe Malone candle And it's you know Specially it's very special To us this this candle It's actually our scent From our wedding And Camille just Had this fabulous idea Of just going to Joe Malone And like finding her scent For our wedding I had no idea that was the thing And it was just really fun Because like we love it And like whole family We only had 15 people there Due to COVID Or also would have been like Two three hundred people With my family Whole family But it was just A really nice touch And our whole family Has these candles They've asked for them And so we gave them Some for as a gift And it's something Camille Does all time in her You know in our projects With our clients Is just bringing That personal touch Could be like a candle like this From someone's scent Or just you know You know layering And that lighting It's super important For us in our projects It's just really creates A very like homey space It's a really safe space It's space that really Inspires you Just really creates A great environment For you to just do You know whatever You want to do in that space So that's something That I just really love And she has them Sprinkled throughout the home And this is our patio It's really nice Having this outdoor space Because we don't have a ton Of eating space inside And so it's nice to have A little bit of a larger table That we can eat at instead Or we can have Overflow guests out here But we still wanted it To feel just as comfortable As the home and cozy So I did that by bringing in Pillows and tablecloths And lots of layers on the table To really give it interest And make it just as homey So we always eat out here Just us two Or with our family and friends Like if we have a lot of people here We definitely have to Kind of come out here as well But it's just so nice Just living in San Diego It's you know the stereotype Of it being always sunny in 70s Like pretty true So even in the winter It's like you can use this space All the time So we love coming out here And we just kind of Love what we did out here We love like gardens And in our future home In our dream home We already envision Just having like a vegetable area You know a flower area Cutting area Just a bunch of trees Fruit trees Something we just really love Just that element of nature We even bring it inside With all our flowers And our trees inside the home And so we kind of wanted to do that Out here as well It's not like a big space And we don't have that ability To have our dream garden But we kind of did it As best we could here With just just layering And layering and layering it With trees and plants So yeah we love like hydrangea So we have some of those Which is great Because they you know Do really well with You know not as much direct sunlight Which is a challenge We had to overcome in here But we've done well It's thriving A little too thriving sometimes But it's good And so we also just grill a lot here We have a little grill And we one of our favorite things to do Is to grill cardiff crack It's a tri-tip From our local seaside market here It's like famous It's the best tri-tip You'll ever have And they call it cardiff crack So when we moved in This little bar shelf Was actually here Under this window And it's super fun Because if you open the window here You can just reach straight And through to the kitchen Which is super fun And also convenient and practical When you're hosting Home to me is It's a backdrop for your life really And so for me I want my home to be a space That feels comfortable And cozy and safe But also I really want it to be beautiful It's nice having a beautiful backdrop For your life if you can I have the constant Nancy Meyers movie Playing in my head Of where I want my life To look like a Nancy Meyers movie And I want to have friends over And have dinner parties And have it just feel Really picturesque Like it looks in my head
