- March 20, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 20, 2014

Darcy Kempton, owner of San Diego's Simply Stunning Spaces interior design firm, recently spearheaded an incredible transformation for restauranteur and entrepreneur Ty Hauter, owner of Good Time Design and it was a revamp that was featured in a recent edition of San Diego Magazine

In this particular project, I worked to capture a classic, elegant style, with a casual feel. Ty and Suzannah wanted a home that would be warm and inviting, yet easy to maintain, Darcy explained of the revamp of Hauter's Coronado home. She added, They wanted a cozy environment that would be child-friendly, yet suitable for entertaining as well.

Darcy especially enjoyed working around the home's ten fireplaces, which added a warm and cozy ambience throughout the home. Hauter's home also includes a roof deck, which was transformed into a delightful space to relax, unwind and entertain.

In the San Diego Magazine article, Darcy discusses her design choices, from the wrought iron pendant chandelier in the living room, to the soft grey accents that are carried throughout the home's new design scheme. You'll also find some tips on where to shop in San Diego for lighting, rugs, furniture and home accessories.

Darcys client, Ty Hauter, a bouncer-turned-entrepreneur, is no stranger to transformation as he's credited with transforming San Diego's East Village neighborhood with his businesses, which include a total of eleven bars and restaurants, including the Southpaw Social Club, Whiskey Girl and Bub's at the Ballpark.

Work seeps into everyday life, but home is where we strive to balance all the chaos going on with the business....This is my place to decompress, where we can be together as a family Ty explained.

Darcy works with clients throughout the San Diego area and beyond. From transforming small downtown condos into beautiful, inviting spaces to updating busy professionals' sprawling estates with a more modern aesthetic, to creating one-of-a-kind designs that blend form and function, Simply Stunning Spaces offers design services for a vast range of different clients.

Interior designer's Tanglewood contemporary is a colorful splash

- March 20, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Courtnay and Mark Elias almost missed out on their dream house - twice.

The couple were just starting out on a house hunt seven years ago when Courtnay fell in love with an unusual contemporary home in Tanglewood. Designed by Albert Pecore in 1982, the starkly modern white exteriors set it apart from the traditional homes lining the rest of the block.

"We call it the 'Sesame Street' house," said Courtnay Elias, an interior designer and the owner of Creative Tonic design studio. "One of these things is not like the others."

The Eliases put in an offer, but twice found themselves on the losing end of a bidding war until the house's quirks turned off the winning bidders. For one thing, it has two sets of piers in the foundation due to an error during construction. For another, the original owner, an oil man, was worried about gas explosions, so the house has no gas connections at all. Neither dissuaded the Eliases, nor did the fact that the 4,800-square-foot house had only two real bedrooms while they have three sons.

Courtnay Elias names her mother as her greatest inspiration, and that includes growing up in a series of houses that were always under construction or renovation. Accordingly, when they moved into their home, she revamped the rooms upstairs, enclosing a balcony that faced the backyard pool and creating two new bedrooms out of the large playroom.

Downstairs Elias opened up a wall covering the wet bar near the entrance, creating one uninterrupted open living space. Years later, a burst pipe in the kitchen gave the designer an excuse to revamp the kitchen area, upgrading the large island with a striking gray and white striped "mink" marble.

"Things are constantly rearranged. I'm constantly moving, like a whirling dervish. I just have to be visually stimulated," said Elias.

Her latest update is on the bookcase in a corner of the formal living room that serves as a library and study nook. Beneath two of the home's many clerestory windows, the bookcase was originally painted green to mirror the views of the treetops above. Elias had recently discovered a new marine-grade paint, though, and thought the shelves were the perfect guinea pig project, eventually painting them a custom plum shade.

"For what my business is and what I do, I have to experiment here. I had never used these marine-grade finishes, so I taught my painters how to use them," said Elias. "What I love is how it almost looks wet. The darker it is the more it pops."

The bookshelves are just one of several pops of purple throughout the living room, chosen in part because it's Courtnay's favorite color and also to match the hues in a large painting over the sofa by New Orleans artist Amanda Talley. The royal hue is the perfect foil for the Eliases' collection of ornate gilt furniture and accessories, including more than one crown.
