A new magazine is in town and it has quickly become a neighborhood favorite! Lunada Bay Living magazine is a local publication by and for Lunada Bay residents. It's goal is to connect neighbors, form friendships, create awareness and build a stronger community. From our experience, it has already formed collaborations and new friendships!

Happy Home Refresh

This Happy Home is nestled in a cul-de-sac in the Southbay and has the most relaxing backyard retreat. The lovely couple who lives here asked LCD, Inc. to assist them in refreshing their home with an updated look. To give the homeowners what they were looking for, the LCD team refreshed the home's exterior finishes, added outdoor furniture, refinished the hardwood floors, and installed beautiful doors throughout the house.

The backyard oasis is the perfect retreat for reading or relaxing by the fire pit. The newly installed motorized awning helps to control sunlight, and the copper rain chains add a unique visual element.

The new outdoor furniture pairs well with the home's exterior finishes and also provides a relaxing spot to take in the sunset and views of the South Bay.

Gorgeous, eco-friendly doors have been integrated throughout the home, creating a cohesive and an updated look.

Dark hardwood floors provide a rich contrast against the beautiful area rug, which ties together the living and dining room spaces.

A Perfect Day in Redondo Beach

Picture a townhome in a quaint neighborhood in Redondo Beach, where you open the balcony doors to let the cool beach breeze into your living room. Then you grab a favorite book and glass of wine and head out to relax and take in the view from the balcony. This is the setting of "A Perfect Day in Redondo Beach" renovation. The transformation began with the LCD Team re-designing the floors, stairs, and entire paint palette of their home. Next, the kitchen and bath cabinets were rebuilt to provide several unique features. Finishing touches were then added to complete their perfect home. To view photos of "A Perfect Day in Redondo Beach" renovation click the image below.

DIY with LCD: 5 Household Items Transformed

Many of us have items around the house waiting to be discarded, instead these items can be transformed into functional pieces. The LCD Team decided to use some of these household items to create objects we can use everyday. Click the image below to see the 5 household items the LCD Team transformed. From coffee cans re-purposed as hanging planters to a broken tea pot turned into beautiful Japanese-inspired art. 

Macramé Planters

Turn empty coffee cans into a beautiful 

hanging garden. This macramé planter 

will add life to any room!

(Display Model: Kat)

Level of Difficulty: Medium (Once you figure out how to knot the holder, it's pretty easy to create!).

Decorating Tip: Use a couple coats of paint for an even finish.

Pencil Holders & Succulent Pots

What better way to keep your work space organized 

and beautiful! Add these two items for a quick 

desk makeover.

Materials: Food cans/jars, paint, hot glue gun, & sea glass. 

Level of Difficulty: Easy (Follow the ridges on the can to paint a straight line with ease).

Kintsugi Tea Pot

Bring a broken tea pot back to life with this kintsugi-inspired technique - The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. 

Materials: Broken pottery, gold leaf paint, & epoxy.

Decorating Tip: I'm sure everyone has a piece of broken pottery to work with. Don't throw it away, bring it back to life with kintsugi!

T-shirt Bag

Out with plastic, in with cotton. Turn an old t-shirt 

into your new reusable grocery bag!

From complete home remodels to bathroom renovations, we have you covered.  Last month we featured a full vacation home remodel and this month we'd love to share a newly renovated guest bedroom and bath. It is truly a guests' oasis. Not only stylish, it is a full suite, with a private bedroom, walk-in-closet, and full bath that will make family member(s) or friend(s) feel right at home during their stay. For more photos of the Home Away From Home Guest Suite scroll below and/or click here.

The walk-in-closet custom shelving provides plenty of storage space for visitors to hang and place their items while the antique highboy dresser provides storage as well as a decorative detail.

Island Vacation Home

LCD, Inc. has completed their very first island vacation home! It is truly a personal oasis for our clients with breathtaking panoramic views of the island's harbor. A modern raw beauty with an eclectic flare where "Green Design" was taken very seriously, because every drop of water on the island counts. 

To incorporate "Green Design," tank-less water heaters, energy efficient windows, and solar panels were installed to save on electricity. The island is currently in Stage 3 water rationing, this mandates a 50% reduction in water use by residents and businesses. To achieve the levels of reduction low flow shower valves, faucets, and toilets were placed throughout the house to help cut the gallons of water with every use. "Grey Water" cisterns were also installed to harvest, store and reuse rain water, for landscape use only.
