Inspirational design begins in many places. For Steven Cooper, it was a lumberyard in rural Minnesota. During his childhood, Steven’s love of building and design started with Saturday trips with his dad to the local lumberyard. “The lumberyard has heaven,” says Steven. “It was there that I found a love of drawing and building things.” At 14, Steven began working with his father Neil, a custom home builder. In addition to helping out dad on Saturdays, Steven took care of the financial ledger. Steven is now the Principal Designer and Owner of Cooper Pacific Kitchens, a luxury kitchen design studio in West Hollywood CA. Located in the 1.6 million square-foot Pacific Design Center, the showroom is an elegant blend of traditional, modern, moody and smokey. A California version of a East Coast kitchen design. From this location, Cooper Pacific draws most of its’ clients from Los Angeles and surrounding Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Hollywood and Pacific Palisades. However, projects have ranged all across North America. From Hawaii, to Los Angeles, to New York and beyond. Many clients include icons of business, film, music, and medicine that want a living space that reflects their lifestyle. At Cooper Pacific it is about creating luxury. A commitment to beautiful living and creating spaces. “Our passion is creating truly one-of-a-kind designs that speak to who our clients are and how they want to live,” says Cooper. We believe that luxury, at its core, means the freedom to pursue any path, explore all possibilities, and create environments that make one feel special.” In 1984, the Coopers moved west to California. While Steven attended Cal State Northridge and was on his way to a degree in finance, Neil founded Cooper Pacific Kitchens. Their first showroom was located was in the Pacific Design Center and they have been there ever since. In 1986, Steven joined the family business. At first, in management and the financials, but eventually migrated over to design. Working alongside his father, Steven was able to develop and express his creative energies. After his father Neil retired, Steven took over as Principal in the business. He surrounded himself with a team of highly creative designers and project engineers who craft beautiful, luxury kitchens with the utmost attention to detail. A team that brings a love of historical architecture and interiors. Together, the studio is dedicated to an endless pursuit of turning a clients’ dreams into amazing spaces. Although successful design is a delicate balance of beauty and craftsmanship, to Cooper, it all starts with the customer. “We listen to our clients. We find out how each client wants to live and feel in their home, then create an amazing living space,” says Steven. From there, Cooper Pacific takes the architectural characteristics of the home and transforms it into a one of a kind luxury kitchen. “We do not want the standard look. We create designs that set us apart from other designers. Our style ranges from California Traditional to Spanish, Desert Transitional to Modern and everything in between.” Steven says travel has also influenced his designs. The unique architecture throughout the world is inspirational and it shows in his work. Cooper Pacific’s talent does not stop with Steven. Senior Designer Meredith Gullion is an award winning designer that enjoys designing across the broad spectrum of West Coast style. Meredith’s approach to each project starts with a vision of the space that honors the architecture and also reflects, in every detail, how a client wants to live and feel in their home. A third generation Cooper has also joined the team. Steven’s daughter Brittanie has decided to follow in her father and grandfather’s footsteps.Brittanie runs the company’ logistics while Steven’s wife, Giselle, take care of the marketing and social media. Many of Cooper Pacific’s kitchen designs include Waterstone Faucets. “It is a fantastic brand. A functional and high quality fixture that you cannot get anywhere else. The faucets really add a special elegance to each one of our designs.” Cooper Pacific’s talent has not gone unnoticed.

By Mackenzie Manley Coastal Home Design Studio is a San Diego, California based studio that has a double edged sword. President and Lead Designer Suzanne Broyles is both a wonderful Interior Designer and a General Contractor. After growing up in the world of construction with her father, Suzanne decided to follow in his footsteps into construction. However, the frustration of disappointing customer service, sloppy workmanship and missed deadlines led her to adopt both construction and design hats. This merging of the two has allowed Suzanne to provide the best customer service to her clients, encouraging open communication and customization on both ends. Suzanne’s first showroom opened was Mountain Home Design Center, in Mammoth Lakes California. Coastal Home Design Studio in North County San Diego followed to serve the Southern California construction and design clients, and after that they opened a showroom on Cedros Avenue in the Solana Beach Design Distract, as well as in Manhattan. With both interior design and landscaping available, Coastal Home Design is the perfect option for customers who want a pain free and enjoyable experience designing their dream home. One of the unique things about Coastal Home Design is their ability to customize. They enjoy the challenge of creating spaces that are perfect for their customers, no matter the difficulty. When asked what her favorite style to design was, Suzanne answered that she enjoys most the challenge of perfecting a transitional look. Suzanne knows well that not every person fits into a style category, she loves to find the perfect atmosphere to match the personality of her customers. At the end of the day Suzanne said that the biggest compliment she could ever receive from a customer is “That is exactly what I wanted!” Coastal Home Design’s attention to the customer can be seen after Suzanne told us her favorite room in the house to design: the kitchen. She explained that the kitchen is often the hub of the home and one of the most used rooms. She enjoys working with her customers to create a perfect atmosphere that allows for beauty and utility. With Suzanne, the customer comes first and her goal is to figure out how to make their lives better. Keeping customization in mind, Suzanne often turns to Waterstone to create the kitchen of her customer’s dreams. Since all of Waterstone’s faucets are made right here in Southern California, we are able to create any size or color to match Suzanne’s vision. Suzanne claims that when using Waterstone it allows her to design and construct while keeping the kitchen beautiful! So, if you are looking for a company that allows for versatility and high quality design while also maintaining the personal relationship and care many construction company’s lack, Coastal Home Design is the company for you.

For this they turned to their favourite shop, Winterberry Lane that specializes in chic French décor and offers the exclusive design services of Designer Jackie Glass. Together Jackie and Winterberry Lane were able to achieve the look the couple had been dreaming of for their beautiful new kitchen. Inspired by the swirling mosaic border in the backsplash, Jackie started with her signature colour palette of classic neutral tones in warm white, soft blue and subtle cream. Introducing these soothing colours throughout the kitchen would help balance the high contrast between the white cabinetry and the dark-stained floors and add just the right touch of ooh-la-la charm to the space. The key to instantly translating the traditional tone of the space to a soft chic French style, the dull beige walls were painted in an intriguing gray/blue/green colour (Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray) that delightfully changes with the light, adding dimension and warmth day and night. Next, soft sheer linen blinds help diffuse the harsh sunlight that streams in through the south-facing windows and lend softness to the overall look. Finishes were carefully chosen by Cranberry Hill Kitchens. The durable Caesarstone (Dreamy Marfil) creamy white countertops work beautifully with the integrated round Corian-topped (Vanilla) dining table that sits on a uniquely shaped custom pedestal base. Corian was chosen over quartz to offer a softer touch to the dining surface. The clever mixing of surface materials gives the kitchen a uniqueness that transcends typical finishes and styles found in today’s kitchens. The white Franke Fireclay farm sink with antique-pewter pull down faucet by Waterstone Faucets define the French-country look while offering practicality and sophisticated style. A matching pot filler accents the tumbled stone backsplash over the stove, an addition that the owners didn’t think they needed but found they can’t live without! The enameled details and old-world styling and finish of the faucets add an authentic custom look to this elegant kitchen. In the dining area, the stunning wall-to-wall built-in china cabinet with glass-front doors, offer the owners a place to display treasured items along with tableware for everyday use in the kitchen and special occasions in the formal dining room that’s just off the kitchen. Interior lighting makes the contents sparkle. From Winterberry Lane, Jackie chose a set of gorgeous Louis IV dining chairs, dripping with French charm, upholstered in a soft cream/green/blue check (Kravet 1513) and a French-style, painted-iron chandelier for over the table to complete the look, creating a welcoming French-inspired kitchen that the homeowners have been longing for.

The vintage-style farm sink features an embossed fox for a nice country feel. A matching Waterstone soap/lotion dispenser and side spray completed the Towson Faucet Suite. Another stand-out kitchen design was an expansion and renovation of a traditional interior. Located in Pennington, NJ, the home’s kitchen was expanded to open up access to other rooms and make it more functional. On the island sink, a Waterstone Traditional Pulldown Faucet was added as a centerpiece to this beautiful, traditional design. AJ also utilized a Waterstone Towson Bar Faucet and Filtration Faucet on the wet bar sink area.

Based in Pennington, NJ, AJ currently has projects in Princeton, NJ; Newtown, PA; and New York, NY. See contact information at the bottom of this page. Project – Hopewell, NJ A kitchen remodel that updated the layout and appearance of the original 1980’s space. The homeowners do a lot of cooking and entertaining so the space needed to be spacious enough for a crowd while still being comfortable for two. The use of natural materials such as soapstone and pine keep the kitchen feeling warm and current at the same time. See project… Project – Pennington, NJ The architecture of the home is traditional, but this kitchen expansion and remodel complements the family’s current needs. Blackboard inserts on the cabinets for drawing and beautiful wall art are just a few creative touches. To create a more open and appealing floor plan, access to the kitchen was enhanced into three adjoining spaces.

An Oasis in the Heart of Silicon Valley Jules Nolet, a home designer and builder from Atherton, California has been building fine homes in the Silicon Valley and San Francisco Bay area for about 15 years. Atherton is a small, coveted residential community residential community. The six square mile town is lush, covered with beautiful live oaks, redwoods, and other ornamental trees. Austerely different, Atherton is populated by Google and other Silicon Valley execs. To create her own oasis, Jules purchased a 1970s split-level home on a one acre lot and deemed it “disgusting.” She leveled the existing house and began to build a traditional French home that holds a special place in her heart. A lifelong traveler, Jules was inspired by the love of life mindset in France. The art, the culture and the insistence that life is to enjoy. That lifestyle is carried over to to her design. During her travels, Jules always kept a camera close at hand and her photography sometimes lead to the perfect design. “It may be a garden outside of Bali, a mas in Provence, a dining room in Paris,” she says. “Or maybe just a great piece, like a Bagues gilt chandelier or a burl walnut armoire, that somehow, in some strange and wonderful way, becomes the foundation for your new home.” For her own home, Jules imported two containers from France full of architectural antiques. When it came to the kitchen, Jules did not want to do the stereotypical French country kitchen. She wanted a more contemporary style that reflects the more modern approach that French designers take in renovating older homes. Built with large bay windows, clean lines and high ceilings, the kitchen is simple and elegant. A focal point in the kitchen is a Waterstone Contemporary Gantry Faucet. “I wanted to build the kitchen around the sink area. The faucet is artistic in design. It is eye candy but practical. My life is a lot like that.” On the island, Jules features a Waterstone Hunley Prep Faucet and matching side spray, disposal air switch and soap dispenser. The pride and the passion of Jule’s work does not end at her front door. Her true inspiration is the way a home design connects with people. Blending traditional aesthetics and modern sensibilities – and her romance for the way the French live – is a reflection of her amazing work.

Designer Rene Costabile Gives Her Client the Kitchen of Their Dreams Photos by Nettie Einhorn The 2016 Spring Lake Tour gave a Sea Girt, New Jersey design firm the chance to shine. Located in historic Spring Lake New Jersey, The Tour featured an amazing kitchen design by Rene Costabile of Design Line Kitchens. Rene’s project was showcased to 1,300 avid design enthusiasts and provided personal and professional inspiration. The goal of the design was to create a dream kitchen for the home owner. Rene’s client reflected about her experience. “On my first kitchen meeting with Rene from Design Line Kitchens, Rene said to me, ‘let’s create the kitchen of your dreams’. I explained it was not necessary; I just wanted to like it. Well, … I would say Rene did not listen to me – she gave me the kitchen of my dreams. Rene has a gift of listening to what her clients say they want and expanding it to giving them what they did not even realize they wanted… until they see it and fall in love! … She was a design partner every step of the way and was always available to answer any question that I might have or to walk me thru every difficult decision.” Coastal style living is what this home is about. A mixture of finely designed elements around the sink, the hood, the coffee bar and the island give this kitchen its persona. Included in the project is a Waterstone Wheel Pulldown Faucet. The Wheel is a truly one of a kind traditional kitchen faucet. Along with the detailed farm sink, the faucet provides a beautiful centerpiece for the kitchen. Rene’s passion for unique details is what excites her about Waterstone faucets. She says, “There is nothing else on the market that is as fabulously coastal as the wheel. Reminiscent of the wheel on a sailing ship (the navigational hub of the boat), the kitchen is the hub of activity of a house and it requires a centerpiece worthy of its importance.” More features of the kitchen include crafted cabinetry, arabesque tile backsplash, marble countertops and professional level appliances. Designer Profile: Rene is a graduate of The School of the Art Institute in Chicago and has cultivated a fifteen-year career by marrying form and function to create uniquely personal, inhabitable art spaces in which her clients live their lives. She is an expert in traditional, transitional, and contemporary styles; she designs spaces throughout New Jersey with a focus in the shore communities. Rene works hard to enhance her clients’ visions with details that are distinctive to her skilled designer’s eye. She views design as “assembling an intricate puzzle” – the human element is extremely important because her rooms must surpass expectations of everyday use. Rene oversees every detail of her design execution down to the accents in order to realistically impart her work into clients’ lives.
