This exquisite Santa-Barbara-style home set on 5 acres in PV was a very special "pet-project" for the homeowners. While the young couple don't yet have kids, they do have 4 dogs, goats, chickens, ducks and geese and are actively involved in a fostering neglected pregnant dogs! Together Mark C & Meredith Thomson, along with interior designer Wendy Black, contractor John Schultz and landscape designer Jeff Berghoff, created a home for the whole menagerie that was beautiful, comfortable and eclectic - just want the clients wanted.

Luxe Cover Feature January 2023

Starting the year off strong with one of our homes on the cover of Luxe Magazine! This cover article features an interior refresh of a Spanish Colonial style home Mark Candelaria designed back in 2005 in PV!

“There’s so much soul in Mark’s architecture, and we wanted to keep that: plasterwork; the richness of the Saltillo tiles, wood and iron details; the brick staircase; the arches," said designer Lauren Wallace. While there weren’t many structural changes needed, the team “updated the lighting, countertops, wall tile and paint, and cleaned up some of the more ornate detailing throughout the residence,” general contractor Frank DiMaggio notes. ⁠
