Singer Josh Groban called on us to help give his bandmate and friend, Mark, a well-deserved renovation of his cramped garage studio and workout space. We took it a step further and brought the work outside, too, with a new backyard space that Mark’s family can relax in and enjoy.

Before & After

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
STANDOUT STUDIO

Mark has been touring with Josh for years, and his garage recording studio setup was showing its age. We brought in all-new equipment for Mark so he can really flex his musical muscles, and we soundproofed the garage so he doesn’t have to worry about late-night sounds creeping into his new tracks. Natural wood tones against that deep blue will inspire Mark to play as beautifully as his studio looks.

PERGOLA PERFECTION

Mark’s old pergola and outdoor seating area was so rickety, it looked like one little Southern California earthquake would knock the whole contraption over. We went ahead and knocked it over ourselves to make room for a sturdy new structure that would provide better shade and a classic outdoor dining space, complete with a full kitchen and water feature.

HOT TUB TRANSFORMATION

Mark’s old hot tub was more hole-in-the-ground than holistic relaxation. It needed a total facelift, so we got in there with Josh to chip out all the old tile and resurface it with a calm, relaxing blue tile and stone finish. Surrounded by new decking and highlighted by a constellation of lights leading the way, Mark’s hot tub is now the perfect spot for a late-night soak after a long recording session.

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
KITCHENETTE? MORE LIKE KITCHEN-EXTRA

Ricky got a kick out of seeing these cabinet doors open out and then slide in to the housing for a space-saving display, but that’s just one of the many cool features this kitchenette brings to the redesigned garage. A mini-fridge, sink and microwave and more all reside in this compact space, giving Ricky a full assortment of options when he’s working late and needs to grab something quick.

GRILL AND CHILL

Ricky’s backyard was a total DIY job, and it showed: he’s a busy guy with a family, and he hadn’t been able to add the finishing touches to make it functional for everyone. We started fresh and made sure he could enjoy the space with an outdoor grill and refrigerator, so he could stay out in the beautiful Southern California weather for every dinner, from start to finish.

Minimalistic bathroom with white subway tiles, a gold-toned shower fixture, and wooden shelves
SHOWERED WITH LOVE

The bathroom transformation really makes the place function as a stand-alone unit, with a brass shower and fixtures that made Ricky jealous, compared to what was in the house! A pocket door neatly tucks in the doorframe, and the continued metallics and wood accents prefectly flow from the rest of the space.

Before & After

Bathroom with modern toilet, marble accent, and dark walls
DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
MEETING GREAT EXPECTATIONS

One of the best design elements Gwyneth introduced was the arch, and there are two in this redesign: the entrance to the kitchen, and this storage and shelving space in the living room. Before, it was an awkward closet with no depth, but now it’s a statement piece, complete with marble backing and a stone shelf to match.

VIEW FROM THE TOP

This upstairs landing—a “funny little area,” as Gwyneth put it—was not being used in any efficient way, so we took the powder room that we stole downstairs (more on that in a minute) and put it up here, along with appropriately sized furniture that could expand for guests at a moment’s notice. The powder room itself is dark and sleek, an appropriate contrast to the downstairs, while still keeping major design elements.

IT’S ALL EASY (WHEN DREW & JONATHAN HELP)

Gwyneth is known for her commitment to cooking clean and eating healthy, but with torn-out drywall and old appliances, Kevin’s old kitchen was not conducive to either. We widened the entrance and stole space from a downstairs powder room to create a lighter, more spacious kitchen. Gwyneth continued the porcelain from the living room into the kitchen, surrounded it with black-and-white neutrals on the cabinets, countertops and flooring, and pulled in metallic accents to shine throughout.

Now recovered, Kevin wanted to thank Boss by transforming his rundown back house into a hangout, chill space and barbershop. We got in there with Kevin to give this place a full renovation worthy of Boss and Kevin’s friendship.

Before & After

Modern office space with glass doors, desk, and chair
DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
TRAIN THE STAR AND THE KITCHEN WILL FOLLOW

We got Kevin into the demo, and he went all the way in, to the point we were pretty sure he was going to fight some cabinets. We’re thankful for his work and design eye, though, because this new kitchen is a phenomenal spot for post-workout breakfasts and post-workday happy hours. With seating for six around the island and full oven/stove and refrigerator, Boss will have plenty of space for clients, friends and Kevin, who we suspect may be coming over a lot.

WORK/LIFE BALANCE

Boss needed somewhere he could both take phone calls and chill after a day on the grind, so we created a space where he’d feel right at home doing either. Dark and light play off each other to create a warm, professional vibe that lets you know Boss is ready to pivot from work to play and back again at a moment’s notice.

A CUT ABOVE

Kevin and Boss met at the barbershop, so it only felt right that Kevin would include a custom barbershop in Boss’ space, both as an homage to their past and a place they can continue to bond. Kevin picked out the tile himself, wanting to see a pattern that felt both classic and modern—a recurring theme throughout Boss’ new, refined space.

A LITTLE PIZZA HEAVEN

A proper Italian kitchen had to have a proper pizza oven, which was one of several features this outdoor dining and cooking space featured. We clad the back with gorgeous cedar, which will weather perfectly in the Southern California sun, and he won’t have to scrimp on ingredients with that massive double refrigerator below.

FAMILY TRADITION

Roger learned to cook from his dad, whose photo LeAnn made sure to include in this gorgeous, all-black renovated kitchen. The view is made possible by pocketing sliding doors, so now Roger can easily move between his indoor and outdoor spaces while he carries giant pots of boiling water.

SLIDE ON IN

Roger had his laundry space in his kitchen, and food and dirty laundry definitely do not go together. LeAnn had the idea to install a new laundry space in the hallway, complete with sliding barn door, so husband Darryl can easily drop off additional loads as Roger works on his collars and cuffs.

Entrepreneur and celebrity icon Kris Jenner wanted to help her friend Lisa, who had recently moved back into the neighborhood after her husband passed away. Lisa’s home was in a great location, but she didn’t have the time or ability to work on her yard, which was almost entirely vacant (save for an empty swimming pool). We figured Kris had a few family members she could call on for help, and they definitely delivered: Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner were ready to step in and help Kris give Lisa the yard of her dreams.

KITCHEN CONFIDENCE

We gave Lisa everything she could ever want in an indoor kitchen … and then we brought it all outdoors. And added a double fridge. And an amazing grill. With our sintered stone countertops paired with the bucolic Southern California weather, Lisa’s kitchen will become the oasis she needs to achieve the tranquility she deserves.

POOL RELOCATION

Lisa had a pool — or, as Drew called it, a cesspool — that we initially discussed repairing. Drew and Kris had other plans, however: relocating the pool area to the back of the property, and using the current pool space for entertaining. While Jonathan wasn’t initially thrilled with the drastic change, it was the right call, and now Lisa has a beautiful new pool and seating area suited for having friends over anytime. As for that old pool space …

Outdoor seating area with modern sofas, round ottomans, a fireplace, and trees providing shade
AS OLIVE AND BREATHE

… we turned the previous pool location into a beautiful backyard seating area, complete with outdoor fireplace. This previously barren lot now is filled with a canopy of olive trees. Now she can relax by the fire on a brisk autumn evening under a warm blanket and the companionship of her favorite trees.

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
TADELAKT LIKE YOU’VE DONE THIS BEFORE

Leslie’s house was laid out nicely, but needed a lot more natural light and lighter features. To help, we bathed her new fireplace in a Moroccan lime plaster finish known as tadelakt: it’s waterproof, natural and dries 70 percent lighter than when applied. The result was a lovely, classy fireplace that partnered with the surrounding white walls and neutral window treatments.

GIVE A TABLE, GET A TABLE

Leslie was always thinking of others. Case in point: she gave her family’s dining table to another family who needed one, leaving her with a folding table and chairs. We weren’t going to leave her without a dining room table, so we went ahead and gave her a whole new dining room, with more storage and the same hardwood floors we installed throughout the house.

FAWNING OVER AWNING

Leslie’s family enjoyed their outdoor space, but the dated Astroturf and decaying awning needed to be replaced. We installed new composite decking that will last for years to come, and raised the covering for taller guests (ahem, Drew) to provide cool shade as the family watches the kids enjoy their new backyard playhouse.

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
TWO HOLES IN ONE

Justin was familiar with of our well-known slogans: What’s the point of relaxing if you can’t have your own putting green? (OK, we don’t actually say that, but we probably should.) When Mat doesn’t feel like taking a soak, he and the kids can work on their putting strokes on this custom green.

GRILLMASTER GENERAL

Giving Mat an awesome outdoor space meant giving Mat an awesome outdoor grill, complete with pizza oven. Drew didn’t make it easy on us: he somehow managed to break the tile on this 900-pound gorilla as we were lifting it (he claims it was his superhuman strength), but thankfully we were able to repair it. We also managed to fit in a special order from Justin: the bar that Mat has been trying to figure out where to put for years.

FROM CESSPOOL TO SUCCESS-POOL

Mat’s existing pool had a lot of dated, damaged tile and a hot tub that needed a lot of love. Once we ensured the pool itself was safe and structurally sound, we got to work installing a new, retro-modern blue tile that would show off the shimmering water and create an instant magnet for Mat’s friends and family.

Academy Award-winning actress Allison Janney asked us to help Ilana, her assistant and friend of 20 years, have a new space for her family to enjoy. We took one look and knew what had to be done: flip the kitchen and dining room to create a stunning family island, an intimate space for meals and a wine cabinet to die for.

Before & After

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
FIREPLACE FACELIFT

To update Ilana’s living room fireplace, we first needed to remove the dated stone façade, which revealed the original brick—and, thankfully, a fireplace that was in pretty good shape. We installed a hearth and mantle using the same sintered stone as in the kitchen, but with a honed finish so the looks were complementary (not too matchy-matchy). Add a new gas burner, and we had an old feature made new again—our favorite kind of project.

RED CARPET, BLUE ACCENTS

Allison led us down the right path for the kitchen design: white, shaker style cabinets with the blue accents Ilana would be looking for … and, as it turns out, what Allison would be looking for, since her kitchen island is blue, too! (She did, at least, pick a different shade of blue.)

WOULD YOU LIKE A MERLOT? PERHAPS A NICE … CABINET?

We wanted somewhere to show off Ilana’s wine collection, and boy, did we figure out how to put it front and center! Her custom wine cabinet is both an exceptional conversation piece and a practical storage solution, using an otherwise dead end of the wall between the dining room and the entryway.

Actress Zooey Deschanel’s best friend from childhood, Sarah, has just had her second child and is going back to school to be a therapist. Her 900-square-foot home is a tight fit for the family, so we opened the main living space and kitchen to use every square inch efficiently.

Before & After

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
A NOOK FOR ALL MEALTIMES

Sarah’s dining room space was outdated and took up valuable real estate she needed for the rest of the house. We went with the best space-saver out there: a corner banquette with storage underneath, so the kids can store their after-dinner toys. Plus, Zooey specially designed the light fixture just for Sarah, so she has a one-of-a-kind piece from her best friend.

TRADING A WALL FOR A WATERFALL

Our biggest demo piece was the wall in the middle of the house, which previously separated the kitchen from the living space. We flipped the layout, putting the range and lots of cabinetry against the back wall so Sarah could have this gorgeous island with waterfall counters and a built-in sink. Plus, we hid the washer-dryer stack out of view in even more storage alongside the fridge.

A WARM WELCOME

There’s no grand entryway to Sarah’s house: once you’re in the front door, you’re right in the living room! We turned that quirk into a feature by opening the main floor and reorienting the living room seating toward the natural light. Now, guests won’t want to wait to jump right into the inviting living room—and they won’t have to!
