" SHANNON ACTIVELY LISTENED TO OUR NEEDS AND THEN ESTABLISHED A STRONG CONCEPT FOR THE PROJECT THAT MADE SENSE. SHE STUDIED OUR LIFESTYLE AND TASTE AS WELL AS THE SITE'S ARCHITECTURE, PLACE AND HISTORY. THEN SHE DESIGNED ROOMS, FOUND DECOR AND ART THAT I NEVER IMAGINED BUT LOVED. I WOULD SAY SHANNON MADE A PORTRAIT OF US TO LIVE IN. HER UNDER-THE-RADAR RESOURCES ARE REMARKABLE TOO. SHANNON AND HER TEAM WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH IT ALL; FROM CONCEPT AND THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT TO COMPLETION. EVERY DETAIL IS CONSIDERED AND MANAGED..."

RESIDENTIAL
ORGANIC MODERN
A CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD FAMILY WITH BUSY LIVES; WE UNDERSTOOD THEIR NEED FOR MEDITATIVE INTERIORS. THE NEUTRAL PALETTE FOR THE FINISHES AND UPHOLSTERY ALLOWED THE DARK WOOD GEOMETRIES AND LINES TO CREATE A VISUAL BALANCE. THIS WAS A FAST TRACK PROJECT EXECUTED IN 6 MONTHS.
"Just amazing to work with Shannon; she is on top of every detail and when issues came up she was there to solve them. Shannon has designed two houses for myself and my family over the years. We love working with her"- Private Residence
BUILDING UPON THE CLIENTS' SWEDISH HERITAGE, WE BEGAN BY OPENING UP THE FLOOR PLANS, REMOVING WALLS AND ADDING WINDOWS TO CREATE CLASSIC GUSTAVIAN PERIOD ROOMS, LONGER AND TALLER THAN THEY WERE WIDE. THEN WE WHITEWASHED THE ORIGINAL ORANGE OAK STAINED FLOORS; CHANGED THE PALETTE OF THE WALLS, AND ADDED MOLDINGS. THE FURNITURE WAS UPHOLSTERED IN VARIOUS PASTEL AND WHITE TONES. WE RESOURCED THE 1920"s - 1960'S SWEDISH MODERN FURNITURE AND LIGHTING. THE CLIENTS' ANTIQUES AND BOHO SENSIBILITY WERE WOVEN IN WITH CURATED CONTEMPORARY ART. IN THE KITCHEN WE REBUILT COUNTERTOPS AND LAYERED THE WALLS WITH BOOKENDED CALACUTTA GOLD MARBLE SLAB AND MODERN APPLIANCES TO CREATE A STATE OF THE ART CHEF'S KITCHEN.
"Shannon and her team were so easy to work with. She came up with a concept that was about our family's Swedish beginnings so we could visualize it so well. Shannon designed a classic Swedish style of the interior architecture which contrasted so well with the contemporary artwork she helped us curate. It made the rooms slightly Boho and less traditional. We also love the lighting Shannon designs for Moth Design; she created many custom pieces for us that she then put into her company's collections. We entertain a lot and my mom is a fabulous chef so the interior kitchen / dining room and outdoor kitchen / dining room / den was exactly what we wanted" - Kirsten Dunst
WEST INDIES MODERN/TRADITIONAL
THIS WAS A STAGING PROJECT WHERE WE EXPANDED THE NOTION OF COZY A WEST INDIES STYLE COTTAGE INTO A SPACIOUS PALISADES, CAL CONDO. WE WORKED WITH THE CONTRASTING MODERNIST BACK GUEST HOUSE BY INSTALLING MODERN LIGHTING AND DECOR AND SIMILAR TRANQUIL TEXTURES & COLORS FROM THE SEA TO GIVE CONTINUITY TO THE DIFFERENT STYLES.
TWO BEDROOM MALIBU GUEST COTTAGE
A FULL REMODEL OF A CHARMING BUT CRAMPED VICTORIAN GUEST HOUSE. WE OPENED UP THE CEILINGS, KNOCKED DOWN WALLS, ADDED MORE WINDOWS, SKYLIGHTS AND LIGHTING. THEN WE EXPANDED ONE BEDROOM INTO TWO AND DECORATED THE REST. WE SUPERVISED ALL THE MOVING PARTS: MOVE IN, INSTALL, ORGANIZATION AND STYLING.
LA BOHO BACHELORETTE PAD
THIS WAS A FULL PENTHOUSE RENOVATION AT THE TOP OF AN EARLY 19THC BANK BUILDING. THE CLIENT, A 50'S ISH PHOTOGRAPHER, MOVED FROM A 4,000 SQ FOOT HOUSE TO A 2000 SQ FT LOFT. WE CURATED A MIX OF DECOR AND ART CULLED FROM HER OWN COLLECTION. THEN WE ORGANIZED THE ESTATE SALE OF WHAT WAS LEFT.
BOSTON BRAHMIN PALAZZO
FOR A 40'S-SOMETHING, BRAHMIN COUPLE, WHO INHERITED THE FAMILY HOME, AN EDWARDIAN JEWEL. WE DID THE MINIMAL RESTORATION REQUIRED TO RETAIN THE MAXIMUM GRANDEUR; EDITED THE EXISTING DECOR AND CURATED THE REST: VINTAGE MODERN AND ANTIQUES FROM COAST TO COAST, ART TOO.
"We couldn't have done this with any other designer. Shannon even did the paintings for some of the rooms. Her background in styling, lighting design and historic preservation was the answer for us!"-Bella & Nate Chilukuri
CENTURY CITY MAJILIS
MAJILIS, THE ARABIC TERM FOR " A PLACE OF SITTING" WAS THE CONCEPT FOR THIS RESIDENCE WHICH INCLUDED 6 LIVING ROOMS. WE WHITE WASHED IT TO GIVE AN OVERALL SENSE OF ORDER AND RESPIRATION. THEN WE MIXED IN THE CLIENTS HEIRLOOM DECOR WITH CONTEMPORARY FURNITURE TO ESTABLISH AN OLD-WORLD MIDDLE EASTERN STYLE.
"We particularly like the way Shannon came up with a strong concept for us; that way we were all on the same page as we made hundreds of decisions."
