Flooring: Ashley purchased Denton panels from Mission Collection’s Avaron Ultra series for the floor.
Backsplash: Clé’s parched vellum tile defines the main backsplash and the bar alcove. On the latter, it pairs with Zia Tile’s Burnt Sugar, also in 4×4 zellige, to form a checkerboard design. “Because they’re handmade, no two tiles are the same. The uneven surface adds such a fun detail,” Ashley says.
Stools: Leather and iron seats picked up at RJ Imports line the island.
Dining table: A vintage wood design from Provence, France, takes center stage in the neighboring dining area. “My aunt had it at her San Francisco home for so long, and I feel so lucky to have such a special piece,” Ashley reflects.
Dining chairs: Wicker armchairs from Crate & Barrel surround the table.
Rug: A handmade seagrass rug from Rush House underpins the dining table. “It’s incredibly durable,” Ashley reveals. “Plus, because each square is sewn on, we could get it customized to our size.”
Wooden shelves: White Oak designs from Austin Hardwoods in Santa Ana enliven the backsplash and bar alcove. The mantel above the fireplace is made of gray wood found in an old barn.
Counters: The Perla Venata quartzite defining the counters was picked up from Ollin Stone in Anaheim. “It’s my pride and joy,” says Ashley of the stone, quarried in Italy. “I could talk about it forever.”
Fixtures: All handles and knobs are from Schoolhouse’s Edgecliff collection.
Bar pendant: The scalloped pendant crowning the bar is a handiwork by Ashley, made out of porcelain laid over a wok.
Most insane splurge: “Definitely the quartzite countertops. We love to host dinner parties and cook, and I wanted something with depth and character. I knew it would get plenty of use and wanted something that would get better with age,” Ashley notes.
