New Collections From Thibaut
We recently got a peek at the latest collections from @thibaut_1886 fabric lines. They have lovely blues in all sorts of varieties, in addition to some fun pinks and my personal favorite, the dog wallpaper! Check out the video on our IG for the full collection.
Pasadena Showcase 2023 Wallpapers
Our team visited the Pasadena Showcase this year and saw some familiar Wallcoverings! This one by @thibaut_1886 comes in six color ways and looked just beautiful in one of the spare bedrooms upstairs. The showcase is such a special event. Top designers use their time and creative vision to design each room in the home (usually a multi-million dollar property) using only the best of products our industry has to offer. It lends to a very unique experience, as you tour the grounds and see the different designs throughout. We posted a few images on IG from the guest bedroom as well as the what the wallpaper looks like in our library sample book.
Laguna Design Center Trade Event
We had a lovely time at the @lagunadesigncenter for their Spring Event! A day of sitting in on conversations held by leaders in the industry as well as time spent sourcing for our clients, all while enjoying yummy treats, what more could you ask for!? Meeting Barclay Butera himself (pictured) was a great experience as a designer and now we have a signed copy of his latest book to remember the day! Check out the reel posted on our IG for a glimpse into the full experience.
Another Day, Another Wallpaper!
But this time, it’s a beautiful mural!
We have dozens of wallpaper mural samples to see in our studio library. This one here was shown to us by our lovely Thibaut rep, Gina. There are murals for all kinds of themes, moods, and concepts. Call us to schedule an appt to see which one is right for you.
Small Business Spotlight
Jeff Egure Of Keller recently visited our studio and purchased some wallpaper for his bathroom remodel. Looking to purchase wallpaper he was able to see in person and not just order from an online retailer, his internet search had him traveling all the way to LA for what he thought was the nearest collection of tangible wallpaper he could see in person. Luckily, he didn’t stop there, as his research then steered him our direction! He was so satisfied with the experience that he wanted to share our business on his page. We are grateful to Jeff for his patronage and the shout out! Welcome back anytime, of course! His original message is below. :)

WALLPAPER CAN BE TRICKY!!
Trying to find it online can be a nightmare since you can’t see it in person with your own eyes and touch it with your own hands!! And don’t even dare try to install it yourself, lol! I am so grateful I found a stellar local option, Pace Design also known as The Wallpaper Store, in Brea. They have tons to choose from and their owner, Celeste, is very helpful! Check out the video below to learn more! #CommunityMatters #SupoortSmallBusiness #PaceDesign #Wallpaper

Birthday Month!
Both Alicia and Jenny celebrated their birthdays this month! I am thankful for their dedication to our clients and our bottom line!
Surfboard Chic Tile Tuesday!
Surf’s up with this surfboard chic porcelain tile we recently picked up at @ocmboutique! Designed in a collaboration between @erinadamsdesigns and @imaginetile, it comes in six color ways- terracotta, blue, cloud, sapphire, mint, and ebony.
Spring Floral Audio Trend
We couldn’t help ourselves when it came to jumping on this social media trend, using the audio from “Devil Wears Prada” that discusses Spring florals. We LOVE a floral patterned fabric and/or wallpaper, so it was easy to jump on the trend and make a version of our own! Check out the full video on our IG page.
International Wallpaper Appeal!
a trip to London and shared some photos of the Wallcoverings in Kensington Palace. I recognized that pattern as something in one of our in-studio books, checked the shelves and bam! There it was. Pretty neat to see patterns in our books on the walls of such a regal landmark abroad! Swipe for more beautiful photos from her trip to the palace and its gardens.
The wallpaper itself by @cole_and_son_wallpapers is part of “a collection of luxury wallpapers, which celebrate the skill and craftsmanship found in the palaces. The wallpaper here is called Gibbons Carving, and is based on the carvings by greenling Gibbons in the King’s Presence Chamber.”
Client’s Favorite Wallpapers This Week…
We made a fun video on Instagram the other day that shares the wallcoverings our customers chose to sample in their homes recently. Everything from modern to bohemian, the samples are so fun! It’s worth a watch!
Lovely Tile Option
Yesterday we stopped by @edpawlacktileinc and though we were there for something entirely different, this porcelain Plumeada Nevada tile caught our eye! With a satin finish glaze, it is professionally lab tested for all freeze, thaw, and pool chemical conditions, making it versatile indoors and outdoors!
Luxury Bedding Anyone?!
I’ve always been a longtime fan of @easternaccents and their new luxury bedding collections are no exception! I love the soft pallets with individual details that make them truly unique. These luxury bed sets are made with the finest materials and are designed by world renowned designers with impeccable style and taste.
We spend about one-third of our lives in bed either sleeping or attempting to do so. Think about it, if you live to be 90+, that’s over 30 years in bed! So why not make sure that they are the most comfortable 30 years they can be!?
Some Quick Client Feedback…
When asked about her experience working with us at Pace Design, client Marsha said “I love all the new things that have been added and appreciate their knowledge of design and color…”. It was a pleasure working with this couple and we are so happy them to enjoy their new pieces!
Before and After - Placentia Primary Bath Remodel
We are pleased to share final looks of our primary bath remodel in Placentia, CA. Our client was a pleasure to work with and couldn’t be happier with the end result. Thanks to the teams at @specceramicsinc, @faucetsnfixtures, Custom Carpentry, and G.C. Tom Lund for all their hard work to help make this bath perfect!
Wallcovering with Matching Fabric Options
Want a print that can be used both on your walls and furniture? Look no further!
Swipe ahead for gorgeous new patterns available in wallpaper AND fabric by @harlequinfw. We just received the sample books in our studio and can’t get enough!
A Little Tile Inspiration…
Last week I attended an event held by @asidoc at the SOCO Design Center in Costa Mesa. It was fun to tour the showrooms and reconnect with other designers in the industry. While visiting the @annsacks_orangecounty showroom, I absolutely fell in love with this concrete tile! Designed by @kellywearstler, this tile is part of the Gem series, that Kelly states was created to “ pay homage to the revered, age old artistry required to create encaustic tiles.” The unique pattern also mirrors the nonconformity we see in nature, it’s handmade appearance creating an illusion of depth and texture. Visit our IG page for more pictures of these fabulous tiles!
A quick little refresh at the office …
With all the samples we have here, we saw an opportunity to display items for client visits and inspiration. We installed a few shelves across from our wallpaper library to showcase tile, fabric, flooring- you name it! Once completed it felt like it’s been here all along!
Project Progress
Progress update on the Placentia project!
We’re almost done with the primary bath renovation for our client - just a few last details to dial in! We will definitely be back with more at that time but just had to share some of the major changes until then!
The homeowner’s goal for her primary bath was to remove an unused jacuzzi tub and turn the space into a large shower with a station to groom her pooch too. 🐾 She also wanted to replace the very 90’s window with a more modern layout. We think this blue and gold combination is just stunning and can’t wait to show you the rest!
Wallpaper Wednesday
Check out the final look of this wallpaper the installer took at our client’s home in Fullerton! The homeowner came to us looking for a bright blue + white wallpaper with a pop of red. We were able to find her something that gave her all three and perfectly compliments what you see while in the room, from the green of her glassware to the various elements of red in the garden.
