Bathrooms, Creating Warm and Cozy

What can you do to improve a bathroom with a view situated next to the beach? Stick around and we'll show you! Here's what it originally looked like:

The original tub footprint cut awfully close to the entry of the bathroom. The owners wanted to turn this 90 degrees to create more room when you entered the bathroom. The original tub was too big which means LONG fill up times...

Here's the new tub deck all framed up:

The vanity and shower are also getting a makeover. Here are the electricians and framers hard at work:

Everyone's hard at work to get this project going and we're so excited to show you the new look once the project is complete. Wait until you see the in wall electric fireplace. That's a GEORGE first. Who likes to get in the bath when the air is freezing cold?! Experienced bather client = genius! Prettier pictures to come we promise!

GEORGE Projects: Velodrome @ The Home Depot Center

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today we are featuring the lobby of the velodrome arena at the Home Depot Center that we've been working on. The Home Depot Center is located in Carson, California and features a velodrome arena with a specially designed 250 meter indoor wood bicycle racing track that the U.S. Olympic team uses for training. We've been cycling through (pun intended!) the redesign of their lobby with vigor lately.

The lobby was quite empty and in dire need of some sprucing up, as you can see in the "before" photos posted below. Take a look:

Before:

We decided that the space needed to be more multi-functional and interactive. Here is the conceptual photo that we pitched to the excellent team at the Home Depot Center:

The space was challenging due to its multitude of entrances and the flow of traffic, with people coming in and out in all directions. To accommodate this, we built a desk on a radius to provide privacy and security for the staff and accessibility for patrons. Additionally, the center upgraded their admission technology, allowing for a convenient keypad swipe for members. Seating for cyclists and guests was added, and food and beverages - healthy of course! - can be found for sale behind the counter. And now the afters:

Another successful project! See you next post :)

GEORGE Projects: Brayden's Room

Hello all,

Today we'll look at our project on Walnut Avenue that's still in the works, but getting close to the finish line (hooray!). This bedroom makeover for two-and-a-half year old Brayden was challenging due to the angle of the walls. Blue was the color of choice, and our clients had already purchased a set of sharks-themed bed sheets from Pottery Barn Kids that they wanted to incorporate into the design.

We added a chair rail to better define the shape of the room, and used a darker shade of light blue below and a lighter shade above for a unified yet diversified look. The Roman Shades we used were actually converted from fun patchwork drapery panels from Pottery Barn Kids.

Take a look at the project!

Still some artwork yet to be hung but it's looking so cute! Have a great week.
