Moving along……I have really enjoyed introducing my various sponsors to you and hope you have equally enjoyed getting to know them. Today’s sponsor is a lot of fun, meet Eliza Beth from Fresh Flowers and Featherbeds<\/a>. With a name like that you know she has to be onto something fabulous! Eliza Beth is a newer blogger and someone (a girl after my own heart) who is knee deep in the building\/renovation process. I have a whole new found respect for anyone who takes it on……she really seems to know her stuff and I am amazed at her thoroughness and obvious organization.<\/p>\n

She has a wonderful project that is just getting started, one that she wanted to be able to share through her blog. I can relate as that is precisely what got me involved in blogging in the first place. Now that I am on the other end, I really enjoy following the process along with other people (all the while feeling really happy its not me again:) I think this project sounds pretty amazing and if you are a lover of great home design, watching something bloom from the ground up,? architecture and? design in general…I think you will want to be sure you start following Eliza Beth!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is a look at what summarizes her project with excerpts from Eliza Beth? herself commenting on her amazing project (and after reading this, it makes me want to line up to be on her “VIP houseguest list”……<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hi I am Eliza Beth…..I am doing a complete renovation of a Southern California luxury tract house and it’s landscaping.?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The house is in a Tuscan\/Mediterranean style ,manned gate guarded neighborhood, but I am creating interiors in my favorite traditional east Hampton style with wood plank flooring, triple glazed windows to keep out the summer heat, lift-and-slide doors to take advantage of the distant ocean views, ceiling treatments, custom cabinetry, steam showers, heated floors, heated towel bars.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"unnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

EXTERIOR ELEVATION BEFORE<\/p>\n

\"unnaadsfasmed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

EXTERIOR ELEVATION AFTER<\/p>\n

Taking it down to the studs, moving walls, enlarging windows and doors, everything new except the foundation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Making the house as open in the floor plan as possible, yet repurposing a bedroom into a library, a media room + bedroom combined into a me large home office, etc.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

?<\/address>\n

Adding 600 square feet inside to make it a 5100 square foot home when finished; and adding 400 square feet of new exterior covered loggia space.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"unnaadfsafamed\"<\/a>LANDSCAPING PLAN BEFORE<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Downstairs master bedroom means we can age there easily and never have to move.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

House was built in 2000 at about 300 dollars a square foot and our final project is estimated at 800 dollars a square foot before furniture, rugs, curtains, accessories, etc<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"unnamfdaaed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

LANDSCAPING PLAN NOW<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are using a sound mitigation specialist so that all of the electrical equipment in the house will be remote located in the garage – a\/v equipment, refrigerator\/freezer motors, etc. and all the walls, ceilings and floors soundproofed so it will be a serene sanctuary — unless we have windows open to hear the trickle of the inner courtyard fountain or water wall in the back yard.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are using an EMF specialist to protect us in the house from any potential cancer causing microwave tower, electrical and wi-fi frequencies that might be harmful with long term exposure.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KITCHEN\/FAMILY ROOM\/BREAKFAST NOOK BEFORE<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

KITCHEN BEFORE (THIS COULD EASILY BE MANY PEOPLE’S AFTER)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our structural engineer is designing it do the house will be able to withstand an 8.0 earthquake that lasts for 2 minutes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are completely redoing the landscaping throughout, putting in limestone pavers, a zero edge 50′ long pool, a raised zero edgethree sided glass ‘aquarium’ spa; heated towel drawers for the pool & spa, new BBQ area with refrigerator\/freezer drawers, ?screened porches with sun shades, and raised planters…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

?<\/span><\/p>\n

I do not have a formal professional background, have just always loved floors plans and walking through model homes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

this is our fourth remodel in the last 20 years. We learn more about quality and detail each time<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"unnamfdaaed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have a superb team for the first time instead of winging it ourselves\/flying blind.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

?<\/span><\/p>\n

We were lucky enough to do extensive interviews with top local architects and through them hired one of the top three General Contractors in the entire area.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

KITCHEN DEMO IN PROGRESS<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"unnamfa2ed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

KITCHEN\/FAMILY ROOM\/BREAKFAST ROOM NEW FLOORPLAN<\/p>\n

Have excellent team comprised of an architect, general contractor, full time supervisor, structural engineer, interior designer, landscape architect, etc.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

EXAMPLE OF CEILING TREATMENT LAYOUTS<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

?<\/strong>Our wish list is to have a welcoming, beautifully functioning comfortable home built with top quality interior finishes in the eastern seaboard style that we can live in for the rest of our lives.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
