MID CENTURY MODERN HOME BY ARCHITECT BRIAN FOSTER INTERIOR DESIGN FLOOR PLANS AND ELEVATIONS AND DETAILS BY JENNIFER MOREHOUSE OF MOREHOUSE CRAFTED INTERIORS LONG BEACH

Before transitioning to interior design for remodels and renovations, I worked extensively in model home development.

Because I wasn’t able to be on-site during installations, I focused on creating highly detailed construction drawings.

the best tool to avoid a disater remodel is a good set of plans

PERFECT HOMES.

NO SURPRISES.

Precise plans ensured that every builder and subcontractor could execute the design exactly as intended. My thorough approach helped capture and communicate every last detail, resulting in flawless finishes and consistent quality throughout each model home.

This experience taught me the importance of clarity and accuracy in design documentation—skills I now bring to every remodel project to make the entire process smoother and less stressful for everyone.

MODERN CRAFTSMAN

YEAR BUILT: 1955

PROJECT BUDGET: $135K-$150K

LOCATION: CARSON

PERMIT APPROVED, UNDER CONSTRUCTION

This heirloom home is undergoing a full renovation inside and out. The homeowner was working with a design-build firm that gave her a layout that made zero improvements to the cramped kitchen layout, leaving a massive unused open space in the dining room.

Rightfully frustrated with their lousy design, she came to us and it’s a good thing she did. We were able to DOUBLE the size of her kitchen without increasing the budget at all (we saved money in several other areas). The functionality we gained by applying our skills and education in optimizing this kitchen layout is truly priceless.

modern cottage kitchen and dining room remodel

YEAR BUILT: 1931

PROJECT BUDGET: $75K-$90K

LOCATION: LONG BEACH

PERMIT APPROVED

This homeowner opted to keep the dividing wall between the kitchen and Dining room in tact because of the impact to the original hardwood floors taking out the wall would have, but by closing up one window and evening out the openings the space flows much better. The refrigerator is no longer in any major thoroughfare, and there is a sense of rationality and balance with the matching openings. Added skylights in the dining room brought much needed natural light.

New paneling in the kitchen provides a charming nod to what was there before, and also adds a decorative yet causal element. This homeowner had such wonderful and expressive ideas, and we were able to refine and optimize them over several iterations.
