VITAE II: A Costa Mesa Residence
Facing the creative challenge to stage two separate residences for our developer client, Planet Home Living, we decided to give each one its own distinct personality. VITAE I is all coastal blues, whites and indigo Shibori. VITAE II has an earthier palette with Navajo influences and a color palette that embraces both a warm rose and hits of black.

A dark gray sectional sofa from Wayfair contrasts with layered rugs -- one seagrass with fringe and the other a Navajo-inspired kilim. Urban Outfitters sconces warm up a corner
White molded plastic Eames chairs around a World Market farmhouse table in this open-concept dining room. Cement pendants hang over a large kitchen island.
A geometric wallpaper defines a built-in desk for a central homework spot or a chance to catch up on a little work from home.
Room + Board's matte black coffee table is a grounding element against the rug's earthy colors.
The master bedroom, with soft rose and crisp black against white linen. The Target mirror is just the dramatic energy we needed on an adjacent wall.
We love using rustic ladders to hold extra textiles. The rug picks up on warm pink and taupe tones. Simple black sconces and nightstands add a touch of gravity.
Linens are from H&M Home and various etsy sellers. We source from all over and reach for what catches our eye.
Not ones to leave out the details, we love adding organic and earthy touches to bathrooms when staging.
A peek into a guest bedroom shows one of our fave color combos: Millennial pink with tropical green -- and a fave motif, the palm leaf. A white shag rug underfoot feels cozy. Urban Outfitters makes the chair.
The roofline next door creates "art" above the bed. Urban Outfitters makes the adorable gumball sconces and those nightstands are a Target Threshold item.
That awesome round pink mirror? Oh yes, that's from Umbra.
We collaborated with clothing designer Amuse Society to dress the studio/office space. Urban Outfitters work stools surround a John Boos bar-height work table.
A World Market chair sports a cute 'lil' kilim pillow and a pink tie-dye throw from Urban Outfitters.
