OC Home Decor Bathroom


Come and take a look of our latest work in Irvine, Orange County CA... 
We have integrated the bathroom with the bedroom in a small space. 
The result is a stunning master bathroom with walk-in closet where you can jump out of bed to the bathtub or shower.
Elegant and fresh materials such as Crema Marfilr Marble, Moca Cream Limestone,  floor and wall tiles from Spain, brushed nickel fixtures and the beautiful Stark wall mount toilet shine for themselves, the result: a stylish, comfortable and chic environment to dwell on!

Bella Marketplace in Las Posas, Camarillo Ca.


The complete remodeling of the gas station and car wash at Las Posas, Camarillo, Ca.

The challenge of this project involved recasting a building constructed in 1998 as an Italian Villa, as a departure from its previous curvy and modern-looking interior.

We wanted to create an inviting atmosphere for customers: while waiting for their car to be washed, visitors can relax in the café as they check their emails, read a book or simply watch the world go by.



The concept is to transport visitors to a comfortable Italian Villa, offering them a peaceful moment in their day and a chance to enjoy themselves.

On one side of the mini-mart we created a terraced area with a rural feel: we did landscaping work, created flower beds, installed two fountains and added some tables equipped with parasols. 


The materials included marble for the restrooms and counter tops of the café and dining areas; veneer slate stone for the walls in the refrigeration area, indoor and outdoor gardened areas, and for the outside pedestrian zone; ceramic tiles for the floors in the market; and faux paint finishes for the walls inside the market and outside the two buildings, with warm and vibrant colors. 


We also used faux paint finishes in the restrooms, in more sober colors, alongside the impressive granite and marble features. The interior and exterior lighting fixtures were very important in order to create just the right ambience. 


We used fun and attractive graphics in the Bellini area and the waiting area. The food and drink court—serving gourmet sandwiches and coffee, gelatos and desserts—was designed down to the very last detail. Customers can enjoy all this and more while waiting for their car to be washed and waxed. 


We completed this remodeling project in partnership with Heidi Johnson (graphic design) and Channel Development (construction); the architect Luis F Herrera Project Manager and Bijan Javaherian Supervisor.

Erika Winters® Design managed the project and advised on color schemes, decoration, lighting, bathroom design, choice of materials, etc.

Rosaleda Decor, Mexico City


¨Rosaleda Decor¨ es un proyecto más de orgullo para mi.
Los clientes y propietarios de la casa es una pareja joven y contemporánea, que gusta de viajar y de saborear el Arte Latino entre otros.


Ellos a pesar de su buen gusto decidieron recurrir a servicios profesionales.
Al leer un artículo acerca de mi trabajo y trayectoria, ellos comprendieron que yo sería el perfecto traductor de sus apegos, tradiciones, gustos, necesidades y paciones.



Manos a la obra con diseño, arte, color y buen ojo!
Viendo el lenguaje de la casa, mi propuesta decorativa y de diseño se basó en utilizar el Mármol Carrara Vena Oro para dar sentido a la doble altura de sala comedor a través de bandas que corren desde las mesas al techo. De ellas colgué las lámparas y un candil.
Utilicé la madera y el color entre otros para ambientar las diferentes áreas.
El arte existente fue estratégicamente ubicada en los muros.
La casa carece de bastos elementos decorativos ya que la pareja tiene niños pequeños.


 
Fue un proceso  muy divertido, mi cliente y yo viajamos a Los Ángeles, compramos muebles y lámparas para la casa;  Algunos otros en México y sobre todo hubo mucho diseño y fabricación como el concepto,  en sala-comedor las mesas y  el bar. En el Family Room se construyo una plataforma para montar instrumentos musicales y se fabricó un modular para la TV y en el área del Deck se fabricaron las sillas y la banca.

"Rosaleda Decor" is one more project of mine to be proud.
The owners of the house are a contemporary young couple whom enjoy to travel and collect Latino Art.
  Despite there good taste they decided to use professional services.
After reading articles about my work and trajectory, they realized that I would be the perfect translator of placing there attachments, traditions, tastes, needs and passion.

 







Hands-on with design, color and good eye!
Viewing the language of the house, my decorative and design proposal was based on using Gold Vein Carrara marble to make sense of the double height dining room through bands that run from the tables to the ceiling and placed on the marble lamps and chandelier.



I used wood, color and different materials to acclimate the areas.
The existing art was strategically placed on the walls.
We decided for the moment to place only a few decorative elements due to the couple's young children.



 






My client and I traveled to Los Angeles to acquire furniture and lighting for the home. We had so much fun!










Other pieces were purchased in Mexico City and some were specifically design and built for the dining room and living room. In the Family Room  a raised platform was built to mount musical instruments and a built-in cabinet on an opposite wall for the flat screen tv, music & video.
