Ronald McDonald House at Stanford, in Palo Alto, CA recently completed a 52,000 square foot addition, including a recreation room, conference room, laundry facilities, and numerous additional guest rooms that will house sick children and their families. We were honored to worked alongside a team of 50 Interior Designers to makeover the new space. We painted this colorful recreation room, designed by Beth Martin of The Martin Group, and just love how it turned out.
An extraordinary midcentury multi-level “treehouse” in the Oakland hills, built, and later updated, by AIA gold medal architect Joseph Esherick, who is known for designing the Monterey Bay Aquarium, The Hedgerow at Sea Ranch, and The Cannery in SF. Our work in the kitchen features clean lines and brushed-on white paint. The house recently changed ownership in May 2018, selling for $2.2 M.

This historic home in Alameda which was once a boarding house boasted tons of original details. We carefully unburied each one: stripping paint off of doors, removing grime from brass fixtures. No expense was spared in the remodel and restoration of this beautiful house. A particularly unique detail: painted stamped-leather wainscoting — which is something you definitely don’t see every day!

An astonishingly unique and glitzy wallpaper choice that it was our pleasure to install to perfection. Note the flecks of gold amongst the cork texture, echoing the high-gloss paint selections on the banister, doors, and trim, also applied by our team. With McCutcheon Construction.
Rebuilt from the ashes of the Oakland fire in 1991, this grand home with a grand view (on Grand View!) was ready for a kitchen refresh. Arana painted all of the cabinetry, taking it from a dated and yellowy stained wood to this bright and light, more modern design.
Paint is a simple detail in this bathroom, and yet no less important than the gorgeous tile!
In this collaboration with HDR Remodeling, we framed this work-of-art shower with a coat of Acrylic Eggshell, highlighting the bathroom’s best assets. (Click the link to their website to read the story of how this tiny bathroom was transformed into a spa retreat, and view Before images!)
Bright pops of color from the art were the starting point and inspiration for this Mid-Century Modern home interior design. Choosing the art first and then paint colors and wall coverings is an unusual way to go about an interior design project. However, the results can be so satisfying! See our interview with art consultant Danielle Fox of SLATE Art for more details about this process, on our blog.

The colors for this classic Crocker Highlands home were selected by Laura Martin Bovard of LMB Interiors.
Her striking choice, which we love, is Benjamin Moore, #2134: “Iron Mountain.” Even the name matches the feeling we get from this color: strong, impressive, and long-lasting.
This tranquil retreat is one of eight spaces Arana painted as part of our first ever charity project with Ronald McDonald House at Stanford, In Palo Alto, CA. We worked closely with Anastasia Faiella to create her vision of a comfortable, calming haven for families with sick children. Arana joined 50 Interior Designers and countless craftsmen and vendors who donated time, energy, and materials to this wonderful project.
