Beautiful Homes of Instagram

 

Hello, my wonderful friends! It’s fantastic to come back with a brand new “Beautiful Homes of Instagram” for you all!

Today, I am happy to be sharing Janan’s home from @janankissler. Besides being very talented, this busy mama is one of the kindest people I have met during this series. In fact, I have to tell you guys how grateful I am for sharing the homes of all of these incredible homeowners during all these years. Take Janan for example; she has been preparing her home for this feature for quite sometime now and I hope you appreciate and feel inspired by her just as much as I am. I really can’t thank you enough, Janan!

Here, the homeowner – one you really should follow on Instagram – shares all of the details. Take notes!!!

 

Originally living by the coast in Orange County, my husband and I decided to sell our home in Laguna Beach and find a house where we could raise our children. Don’t get me wrong… we loved our house with 180 degree ocean view, but it wasn’t conducive to raising little babies.

At the time I listed our house, I was not expecting to be moving 30 days later. The house sold immediately and during the time I was packing us up and looking for our next house, I was also taking care of our 9 month old little boy and was 7 weeks pregnant with our baby girl… needless to say, it was a crazy scene!

We decided to move into my parents guest house in Newport Coast while we took some time to explore different areas and cities and ultimately find the home and neighborhood we wanted to settle in to.

We found our home, in Coto de Caza, in January of 2017… 7 months later. The only factors that were important to me at the time we decided to purchase the house, was the location, sense of community, the neighborhood and whether we can raise children here. I did not care, and was hoping, that we would find a house that was never upgraded, had no improvements done and frankly, was the “ugliest” home on the best block! And, I found exactly that…

We closed escrow and I dove right in to the fastest remodel anyone could ever pull off… I was 7 months pregnant at the time I began remodeling our home. I started with ripping out the floors, putting in new baseboards, expanding the master closet, redoing all bathrooms and painting interior and exterior.

I was approached by a handful of interior designers, general contractors and architects to enlist their services to get the remodel done… but I chose to do it myself. Now, almost 8 months pregnant, I spent every day picking out materials, paint colors, flooring, lighting, furniture, decor, backsplash etc. I hired sub-contractors to do every inch of the renovation and I managed the remodel myself the best that I could.

We moved in to our home the day after I gave birth to our daughter. Of course, the house was not completely finished… there was still a lot of work to be done. I wasted no time, and continued to finish the house.

The first room to be completed was the “Playroom”. I intentionally spent my time and energy on setting up a wonderful play area for the kids so that they had a safe place to play, learn, explore and keep themselves entertained while I finished the rest of the house. To this day, the playroom is our favorite room in the house and a room that can easily be transitioned as the kids grow older.

My background is not in interior design, remodeling or decor. I guess I just learned those tools and techniques as I worked on our house. I just simply did what I liked and what I envisioned would look good in those spaces and although it was very stressful, I enjoyed the process.

Our house sits on a golf course. It is 4,000 square feet on a cul de sac. It is two-story, with a 3 car garage and has a pool. It has 4 bedrooms plus a “playroom”, 4 bathrooms, laundry room, living room, dining room and an office that I converted into a wine room.

We have been in our home now for a little over a year and still finding more to love every day…

 

Beautiful Homes of Instagram

I wanted something natural, earth toned yet inviting and welcoming. I chose to put a wreath that is great for year-round and match it with two topiary stands on each side to add symmetry.

Door Color: Dunn Edwards Renwick Brown

Wreath: custom made – Etsy – similar here.

Topiary Stands: Houzz

Foyer

The last piece of furniture in the entire house that I found was this entryway mirror. I knew exactly the look and feel of what I wanted upon entering the front door, but it took me a long time to find the perfect mirror to add to the wall. And I am so happy I found this one.

I went with a darker combination of colors for my sons room to add some masculinity, but still kept it simple and bright.

Paint: Dunn Edwards Gray Pearl.

Rug: Pottery Barn

Crib/Dresser: Wayfair

Sign: Pottery Barn

Countertop

The island slab is Quartz Calcutta.

Island Paint Color

The paint of the island is Dunn Edwards “Ice Gray”.

Lighting: Here.

Wine Room

This project was the most fun! We converted an old office/den into a wine room/Home bar… We left the existing structure the way it was, but changed out the flooring, added glass doors, stone wall and wine refrigerators. It is our most used room when we entertain.
