In our July/August issue, we showcased West Coast designers who skillfully merge exterior surroundings with interiors. Here are some highlights:
**Wendy Glaister** transformed a 1,500 sq ft patio in Central Valley, Calif., into a four-season entertaining space with pickleball courts, fire pits, and a bocce court. The outdoor kitchen boasts an Alfa Forni pizza oven and custom fire table.
**Keri Lainas** drew inspiration from East Coast roots for a California primary bath, incorporating marble and blue hues. Despite a few challenges with materials, the project was seamless and beautifully executed.
**Rebecca Cox and Ned Evans** rebuilt their Venice, Calif., home, blending Japanese wabi-sabi and Danish comfort. The home features hand-cut ceramic tiles and durable cork flooring.
**Leigh Jendrusina** renovated her 1970s Carlsbad, Calif., home, creating a primary suite and updating the kitchen and great room with eclectic art and neutral textures.
**Michelle Boudreau** expanded a 1950s Palm Springs home, bringing in a neutral palette with soft greens and light coastal oak wood materials to create a calm retreat.
**Aimee Meisgeier** designed a Gig Harbor, Wash., home inspired by nature’s elements. Despite pandemic challenges, the project features natural stone, large windows, and custom chandeliers.
**Bianca Ecklund** transformed a 1950s Hermosa Beach, Calif., home into a new build, delivering a stunning white kitchen and custom cabinets, leaving the clients thrilled with the outcome.
