Montecito-Inspired Kitchen Transformation in Corona del Mar
Project Spotlight: A Montecito-Inspired Kitchen Transformation in Corona del Mar
This luxury kitchen renovation in the heart of Corona del Mar is a testament to thoughtful design and intentional craftsmanship. Nestled within a Spanish-inspired home, our client’s vision was to bring a light, coastal warmth with a Montecito-style influence—where earthy elegance meets modern refinement.
Over the course of three meticulous months in preconstruction, we guided our client through every step—from permit approvals to layout planning and finish selection—to ensure this major renovation unfolds seamlessly during construction. With permits now approved and final designs locked in, we're just weeks away from breaking ground.
Key features of the upcoming renovation include:
Custom rift-cut white oak cabinetry paired with a walnut-accented island for contrast and character
A double-island layout to enhance function and flow
Vanilla onyx and Taj Mahal quartzite countertops—rich, organic surfaces that set a luxurious tone
A fully built-in Thermador appliance suite, including a Bosch coffee machine, 36” induction cooktop, downdraft, and double wall oven
Floating shelves and an arched wine cellar to add architectural depth and style
A wall removal to open the kitchen to the adjacent living space—creating the open-concept lifestyle our client dreamed of
Layered lighting design with Visual Comfort and Kalco pendants and sconces to highlight focal areas with warmth and sophistication
We’ve designed every detail with intent—from a built-in dining nook to hidden tray storage—so the space not only stuns visually, but functions intuitively for everyday living and entertaining.
This project embodies everything we love about custom design: honoring a home’s original character while elevating it with timeless materials, intentional space planning, and a process our clients can trust from start to finish.
Construction starts soon—and we can't wait to bring this vision to life.
