The Modern Luxury Bath

Step into the Modern Luxury Bath where Lunada Consulting & Design, Inc. brought the homeowner's vision to reality. For this renovation, LCD stripped the existing bath to its studs and floor boards to transform it into a beautiful spa-like oasis. The sharp lines and extraordinary Neolith surfaces create a modern feel, while the walnut cabinets bring warmth to the space for the perfect balance of materials. For more photos of the Modern Luxury Bath, scroll 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)

Materials: String, paint, key ring, & coffee tins.
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).
Decorating Tip: Set in front of fan for quick drying.

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.
Level of Difficulty: Medium (epoxy was hardest to work with before it dried & gold leaf paint was easy).
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! 
Farmers market approved.

Home Away From Home Guest Suite

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 Home Away From Home Guest Suite

Full guest bath with quartz countertop, white vessel sink, and brushed nickel accents. 

The beautiful armoire is not only a statement piece, but also keeps the TV hidden when not in use.

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.

DIY Christmas Ornaments

Merry Christmas! We hope your week has been full of joy and holiday fun. To bring the holiday spirit to LCD, we had a DIY Christmas ornament party! We scavenged the internet for inspiration or came up with a design on the spot to create an eclectic array of ornaments. See below for the ornaments that make up our LCD Christmas Tree!

Christmas Elf
Christmas wouldn't be complete without Santa's elf's, 
nonetheless our Christmas tree!

Materials: Pine cone, felt, wooden ball, wooden star, small bell, glue gun and sharpie.
Level of Difficulty: Medium/Hard (It would be hard for kids unless an adult is assisting, plus it calls for simple sewing techniques to create the elf hat and bell).
Decorating Tip: Felt can be stretched and snipped to create the shape and size needed for the pine cone & don't forget the glitter for your star!


Mr.Buttons
The perfect addition to any Christmas tree. Elegant 
and fun.

Materials: Buttons, foam ball, clothing pins, glue gun, ribbon, twine and ornament hook.
Level of Difficulty: Easy (You just have to pin down the buttons and make sure they fit around the foam ball).
Decorating Tip: Think of it as a puzzle.


Festive Pine Cones
Either hang these festive cones with twine or add them 
to your table as a festive center piece.

Materials: Pine cones, silver and gold metallic paint, and green and red glitter.
Level of Difficulty: Easy (Only a few materials needed).
Decorating Tip: Sprinkle glitter while paint is still wet or add more paint when dried to make the glitter stick.


Mason Jar Lid 
Front
Back
Best of both worlds! Santa & his reindeer.

Materials: Mason jar lid, twine, fabric and stencil cutout. 
Level of Difficulty: Easy (Find pretty fabric and you're half way there!).
Decorating Tip: You can decorate both sides!


Paper Ornament 
Single paper ornaments or a few hung on a string are 
great additions for your tree!

Materials: Red paper, hot glue, scissors, and twine
Level of Difficulty: Easy (Not a lot of supplies are needed, just folding).
Decorating Tip: Use hot glue for fast gluing.


Bill
Who wouldn't love this charming little guy apart of 
their ornament collection. We sure do!

Materials: Glue, green and red glitter, craft eyes, card stock paper, glass ball ornament, ornament hook, black paint and lots of love!!
Level of Difficulty: Easy (All you have to do is cut paper for the ears and wings then glue).
Decorating Tip: Use thicker paper (or cardboard) for the wings and ears.


Light as a Feather
Stylish and elegant. A lovely accent ornament to a 
beach themed Christmas tree.

Materials: Glass ball ornament, ribbon, feathers, glitter and ornament hook.
Level of Difficulty: Easy (Just need to brush the feathers with glue, sprinkle glitter and stick into glass ball).
Decorating Tip: Let the glue for glitter dry before putting into the ornament.


Rudolf
This rustic Rudolf is sure to add more Christmas charm 
to your tree.

Materials: Twigs, leaves, 1/2 pine cone, craft eyes, red cotton ball, glue gun and twine
Level of Difficulty: Easy (You can find most items in your backyard!).
Decorating Tip: Layout Rudolph's face and let the glue gun take care of the rest.


Tis the Season Ornament
Christmas charm gathered all into one.

Materials: Glass ball ornament, fabric, twine and pine cone bristles
Level of Difficulty: Easy (Takes 5  minutes or less. Just roll your fabric and tie with twine, stick them inside the glass ball along with the bristles, and you're all done).
Decorating Tip: Use a pen to arrange fabric and bristles to where you'd like them. If you don't have bristles opt for a piece of your Christmas tree!


Happy Holidays! 
We wish you a happy and safe 
Christmas & New Year!
