When we originally designed this wet bar for a La Quinta home, the directive was clear: it sits directly in the entry, and we didn’t want it to feel like an “ode to alcohol” (my dear and witty client’s words) - or a hotel lobby bar.

So we kept it restrained.

But as the home evolved and we introduced more art and decorative pieces, something became clear: we were adding things to an area that didn’t need more things.

It needed more architecture. Better scale.

So we stopped decorating around it - and I went back to the architecture.

We’re now extending the original design, refining its proportions, and giving it more presence without losing the restraint that made the original concept work.

That’s one of the things I love about design. You can draw it, measure it, plan it, and build it - but eventually, you have to live with it. And sometimes a space tells you what it needs next.

Sometimes good design isn’t about adding another beautiful object.

It’s knowing when to stop decorating - and change the architecture.

One of the things I love most about what I do is when a project allows design and art to intersect - and the Paleta Festival is becoming exactly that.

I’m incredibly excited to share that acclaimed Chilean-American artist Guillermo Bert Guillermo Bert will be part of the inaugural Paleta Festival at the historic Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre.

Born in Santiago, Chile and now based in Los Angeles, Guillermo has built an extraordinary body of work exploring migration, identity, cultural memory and belonging. His work spans sculpture, textiles, photography and technology, and has been exhibited and collected by major institutions, including LACMA.

My initial inspiration for bringing Guillermo into Paleta Festival was his powerful Warriors series - monumental works that honor individuals whose labor, histories and contributions are deeply woven into the fabric of our communities. What struck me immediately was the humanity of the work: these are not anonymous figures or symbols. They are individuals, given scale, presence and the space to be seen.

That felt incredibly aligned with what Paleta Festival Paleta Festival is about - a joyful celebration of Latino culture, community, tradition, art, food and music.

Guillermo’s work will be featured at the festival, with select pieces incorporated into the VIP environments I’m designing. And that is perhaps the part I’m most excited about: allowing important art to live within the experience rather than simply decorating it.

Art with meaning. Design with intention. And a celebration rooted in culture and community.

I’m so proud to help bring this collaboration together - and I cannot wait to see it come to life September 19–20 at the Ramona Bowl.

When I was invited to help shape the environment and art experience for the inaugural Paleta Fest at the historic Ramona Bowl, I knew immediately that I wanted to be part of it.

Paleta Fest is very much the baby and vision of Jose Esparza of NBC Jose Esparza — a celebration of community, family, culture, art, music, food and, of course, the wonderfully colorful little treat that inspired it all: The Paleta.

As a native Californian, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for the influence Hispanic culture has had on the way we live here - its traditions, food, music, art, incredible use of color, and especially the emphasis on family and community.

So when I started thinking about the design, I kept coming back to the paleta itself.

Colorful. Joyful. Nostalgic. Simple. Fun.

It became my jumping-off point - a little reminder of life’s simple pleasures and the joy that can come from something so wonderfully uncomplicated.

And that’s really how I approach any project. Before asking How should this space look?, I ask:

How do I want people to feel when they’re here?

For Paleta Fest, I want people to feel welcomed, relaxed, curious and celebratory. I want the spaces to invite people to sit down, stay awhile, discover some fabulous new art, share delicious food and conversation with family and friends, and simply enjoy being together.

I’m so happy to be collaborating on this with my friend Fina Meraz of Tile Designs by Fina Fina Meraz, and over the next several weeks we’ll be sharing more of our inspiration, the artists and collaborators joining us, and some of the behind-the-scenes process as we bring it all together.

There’s a lot to do…..but this one is going to be fun. ✨

DESERT PERSPECTIVES | Vol. 1

One of the greatest privileges of being an interior designer is introducing clients to artists whose work creates a true sense of place.

The Coachella Valley and Joshua Tree have long inspired extraordinary creativity, yet no two artists interpret the desert in quite the same way.

Diane Best explores the landscape through layered color, texture, and the quiet beauty of its geology.

Ivan Butorac reimagines the desert through light, sculpture, and contemporary design - transforming familiar forms into striking architectural statements.

As C. Bloom Design continues to grow, I’m excited to share the artists whose work inspires me and whose pieces I love incorporating into thoughtfully designed interiors.

Because the most memorable rooms aren’t simply decorated.

They’re thoughtfully collected.

Featured artists:
• Diane Best
• Ivan Butorac

Sometimes the biggest transformations come from a handful of thoughtful decisions.

For this project, we didn’t reinvent the space - we refined it.

We began with a new dining table and chairs, then selected a rug that would visually connect the dining and living areas since they’re in the same sightline. From there, we repeated warm walnut tones, layered complementary textures, and pulled colors from the artwork and accessories to create a home that feels connected, balanced, and intentional.

Great design isn’t always about replacing everything.

It’s about understanding how one decision influences the next, allowing every space to relate to the one beside it. That’s what creates a home that feels collected rather than decorated.

Sometimes a few carefully chosen pieces are all it takes to completely transform the feeling of a home.

SLOWING DOWN FOR SUMMER

Lately, I’ve been thinking less about designing rooms and more about creating places to pause.

Part of that inspiration has come from my own family. This summer, we’ve been making a conscious effort to slow down a little. More coffee on the patio. More lingering conversations. More great food. More laughter. More time together and less time staring at screens.

It’s made me realize that the spaces my clients use most often aren’t always the grand living rooms or formal dining spaces. They’re the corners that invite you to stay a little longer.

A husband’s retreat created almost entirely from pieces already owned—favorite artwork, collected treasures, layered textiles, and daybeds that become the perfect spot for an afternoon nap.

A cozy wet bar lounge inspired by Soho House in West LA, where leather chairs, marble surfaces, and a view of the garden have become the backdrop for evening cocktails and conversation.

An overlooked corner transformed into a game table for chess, cards, and uninterrupted connection.

A casita designed for guests that unexpectedly became the family’s favorite gathering place—proof that the most successful rooms are often the ones that simply make people feel good.

A quiet bedroom nook overlooking the pool, where morning coffee comes before the joyful chaos of family, grandchildren, and summer days.

The common thread isn’t luxury finishes or perfect styling.

It’s creating spaces that encourage rest, conversation, connection, reflection, and enjoyment of everyday life.

Sometimes the best design isn’t about adding more.

It’s about making room for the life you want to live.

Summer feels like a good reminder of that.

A little refresh for a starter home in Louisiana for my dearest friend’s son. The bones of the house were already right — it just needed some thoughtful updates, a little refinement, and a more modern point of view.

Since we’ve worked together on previous projects, this one came together very easily without me ever needing to visit in person. We handled everything virtually through phone calls, FaceTimes, inspiration photos, and lots of back-and-forth conversations. A great reminder that good communication and a clear vision can make remote design feel incredibly seamless.

We kept the renovation simple and budget-conscious by focusing mostly on paint, lighting, decor and styling. The kitchen received the most love, and got a fresh new look with deep smoky blue cabinetry, updated countertops, new appliances, and warm brass lighting that instantly elevated the entire space without changing the original layout.

The exterior received fresh modern grey paint and new, clean “raw” wooden pillars. Throughout the homes’ interiors, we layered in deeper shades of blue and green with soft smoky undertones to create strong accent walls that grounded each room while still feeling relaxed and sophisticated. Black-and-white photography added a classic, clean feel throughout the home.

One of my favorite parts of this project was mixing inherited pieces — including the dining room hutch and several vintage rugs — with clean, modern, budget-friendly furnishings from West Elm. The combination gave the home warmth and depth while still feeling fresh and current - perfect for a young man’s starter home.

For the living room, I recommended a beautiful piece by Deanna Fainelli, A Dog’s Perspective - a fun way to start his art collection journey.

Sometimes great design is less about completely reinventing a space and more about editing thoughtfully, honoring what already works, and layering in just enough contrast, texture, and color to make it feel elevated and collected.

A layered transformation at this Madison Club casita ✨ Once the homeowners settled into the space, it became clear the room needed another layer — something that would soften the architecture, provide privacy, and create a greater sense of comfort while maintaining the clean modern aesthetic.

We explored five drapery concepts before selecting these beautifully tailored pleated panels, designed to complement the warmth and geometry already present in the home. The subtle movement in the fabric, combined with the desert-inspired tones, creates softness against the strong architectural lines and natural stone textures.

To complete the space, we introduced new abstract artwork that draws from the home’s earthy palette — warm woods, layered neutrals, rust, sand, and golden light. Every material and textile was intentionally selected to feel cohesive, inviting, and quietly luxurious.

Sometimes the most impactful transformations come from a few thoughtful changes — layering in texture, softness, art, and warmth to completely shift how a home feels.

If you’re ready to elevate your interiors with intentional updates that make your home feel more refined, comfortable, and beautifully collected, we’d love to help. ✨

Most people would have replaced these.
…I didn’t.

I’m always more interested in what something could be… than what it is.

These chairs had the bones—they just needed a new point of view.

We reimagined them in a bold cut velvet from Pindler, adding structure with tailored piping and letting the pattern do something unexpected against a more traditional frame.

The goal wasn’t just to update them—it was to make them feel like they truly belong in this space. Connected to the artwork. In conversation with the great room. Intentional.

Because the most interesting spaces aren’t built all at once… they’re layered. Collected. Reconsidered.

And sometimes, the pieces you already have just need to be seen differently.

📩 If you have something you’re not ready to let go of—but don’t quite love anymore, let’s rethink it.

This lounge area was originally a wall with a series of recessed niches—well-intended, but ultimately underutilized.

It wasn’t supporting how the home wanted to live.

My client came to me with an inspiration image of a softly curved shelving unit, along with a clear direction: she wanted a wet bar, but without it ever feeling like one.

So we reimagined the entire wall.

We removed the niches and designed a fully custom installation—layered, curved cabinetry set against a dramatic marble slab, with refrigeration and a sink integrated quietly within. Lighting and seating were considered just as carefully, turning it into a space meant to be used, not just seen.

Now, it’s where they gather and entertain.

What was once overlooked has become integral—functional, architectural, and entirely tailored to the way they live.
