Lets talk pretty.

Pretty spectacular. Pretty Amazing. Pretty fantastic. The word gets bandied around, but its the perfect word to describe this Santa Barbara modern villa.

This home was built in 2005 and was perfect for that era. Venetian plaster walls, cast stone fireplaces, and rough-hewn beamed ceilings gave it an authentic Spanish Mediterranean hacienda look. While that was great for over a decade, its not what people want now. When we think about the word Mediterranean today, its a decidedly modern vision that comes to mind.

What is always astonishing to me is how, in the hands of the right team, you can shave the years off of a home and give it a completely new personality without diminishing the original character. Architect Paul Turney, founder of Turney and Associates Inc., and Randall Underwood of Underwood Custom Homes did that with this Santa Barbara modern villa.

The house had been updated before, always in keeping with that original character. Turney and Underwood took it down to the studs and up to an entirely new level of sophistication and quality we dont often see, genuinely raising the bar for luxury real estate in Dallas.

Weve all seen projects go terribly wrong in less experienced hands. Underwood has a deep knowledge of architecture, design, and construction rooted in an innate sense of natural order and appropriate scale. He always stays true to what is regionally appropriate. Turney has been designing luxury homes for well over 30 years. Its a given he knows what hes doing and always does it right.

Of course, the client is an integral part of the process and must be able to translate their vision to the team. In this instance, its clear everyone was on the same page.

The owner has a wonderful eye, Compass Real Estate listing agent Jonathan Rosen said. There is incredible detail everywhere, so its on a custom home level. Every window offers a wonderful view of the grounds, which are almost an acre. In the early spring, there were over 3,000 tulips blooming. Considering this home has almost 8,900 square feet with 1,500-square-foot guest quarters, it still feels very intimate.

There are four secondary ensuite bedrooms in addition to the principal bedroom. An elevator will take you from the expansive brick wine cellar to the second-floor living area and game room.

Its essentially a requirement now for luxury homes to offer guest quarters. This Santa Barbara modern villa also takes guest living to a new level. Turney designed such a pretty and private oasis your guests may never leave.

Turney and Underwood have given us what weve needed for a very long time, a new level of sophistication in the luxury home market.

Rosen has 6810 Turtle Creek Blvd. listed for $22.5 million.

Seagate Development Group| Special to Naples Daily News

Seagate Development Group is hard at work in the Isola Bella neighborhood in Talis Park. Coming up next the groundbreaking of a 4,000-plus-square-foot custom home in a lake view golf community that is enviably located in north Naples. The visionary homeowners can expect four bedrooms, four full and two half baths, a three-car garage, ample entertainment, tranquility and privacy spaces, as well as the collaboratory results of the leading, full-service development company and its interior design firm Theory Design.

Talis Park gives off a sanctuary sentiment. Our clients took notice and desired to create a home that reflects that concept in a way that can be shared with their closest family and friends, said James Nulf, Jr., Chief Operating Offer & Partner at Seagate Development Group. Were doing this not only with an open floor plan to the outdoors, but by providing everything that the homeowners can think of when they consider comfort, relaxation and retreat.

The custom homes clean-lined, soothing qualities will excite the senses from the outset. Color contrasts at the exterior will include a gray and brown roof, a cream and gray faade with steel-colored trim, gray shutters, black-framed windows, as well as black garage doors and iron and glass double entry doors. Highlighted by a privacy wall with deco lighting, this residence will channel peace and quiet all the way to the foyer and far beyond. The foyer with a metal rail staircase for modern influence will greet homeowners and guests with a sitting area. This will effortlessly transition everyone into the great room that will boast a media wall as a focal point, along with the luxe outdoor living area and serene lake view. This main living space will segue into the kitchen with soft gray-brown cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances including an induction cooktop with custom hood and built-in wall oven along with double islands for all types of gatherings and to accommodate spreads of delicious food. The adjacent dining area will seat 10 and accompany a wet bar with a wine refrigerator and icemaker for the homeowners night in or a fun day of entertaining guests. It will perfectly complement a glass wine display with favorite bottles of red and white.

The remainder of the first living level will include a combination pantry/laundry room with a second refrigerator, a VIP guest suite and bath, as well as the outdoor living area, separated from the main living spaces by pocket sliding-glass doors for a completely holistic approach to the home. This most attractive sector fit for every occasion will debut an outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill and dining area, sitting area in front of a mood-setting fireplace, pool bath, as well as custom pool, raised spa and firepit.

The second floor will carry a plethora of equally appealing features that will offer everything one needs and wants. The hallway with a morning bar will be flanked by guest suites and a second laundry room on one side. The homeowners will enter the master suite through the spa-like master bath, which will be met with a soaking tub, a walk-in shower with a floating bench for practicality and aesthetic influence, dual vanities and a makeup counter all for the ultimate levels of preparation and calmness. Following two walk-in closets, the homeowners will retreat to the master suite with a sitting area in front of a covered deck the top tier of outdoor living and an opportunity to bring a gentle breeze inside. A loft/flex room will also overlook the covered deck.

When the homeowners considered how they live and how Seagates custom homes function and are designed in Isola Bella, they quickly realized what a perfect match they are for us and the community, and we wholeheartedly agree, Nulf said. Our company appreciates their trust in us and cant wait to make their dreams come true.

Jessicas own personal touches include her original artwork and custom designs featured throughout the house, plus modern hardware on the cabinets through her company Nest Studio. An impressive collection of her art amassed over the past decade from estate sales, local artists, and online also pepper the walls.

Other creative surprises up her sleeve to the delight of her two children Lucy, 7, and Bryan, 10 include a secret passageway leading to Lucys bedroom, plus some custom beds and forts that Jessica built for their bedrooms.

Her kids even had a hand in making some of the artwork in the house, and were key decision-makers in design schemes for their bedrooms. I mocked up what things could look like and gave them some choices, then pinned up wallpaper options so they could make selections, Jessica says. Im always trying to design spaces that are family- and kid-friendly.

Buckhead midcentury home full of creative touches - The Atlanta Journal Constitution

Redoing the kitchen is one of the most perennially popular home renovation projects and also one of the most varied and complex. From enlarging the space to reconfiguring the cabinets, from re-tiling the backsplash to upgrading the appliances, the options are endless, and so are the costs.

Even so, kitchen renovations fall into three generally accepted tiers that reflect the square-footage size of the kitchen, the scope of the work being done and materials used. They, along with their approximate price tags, are:

Its important to have a sense of what each category entails, so you can intelligently discuss with designers and contractors what you really want, and where the money should go. Lets look more closely at the three main types of kitchen remodels and what they involve.

A small or minor kitchen remodel is typically the simplest and least expensive, because its primarily a cosmetic job. The current kitchen design, size and original layout are kept intact. What does get changed are surfaces.

Some of the most popular small kitchen renovation features include:

Minor kitchen remodels are ideal for new homeowners on a budget or for those who feel the kitchen functions just fine it just could use a facelift.

Since its basically an aesthetic refresh, much of the minor kitchen remodel can usually be completed by a DIY-oriented homeowner and can cost just a few thousand dollars if you are doing the bulk of it yourself. However, according to Remodeling.coms 2021 Cost vs Value Report, hiring professionals, choosing higher-end hardware or replacing all appliances with state-of-the-art models for this level of redo runs an average of $26,214.

The middle tier of kitchen remodeling is more involved than a simple refresh. Homeowners may decide on a midrange kitchen renovation when the overall look, and to some extent the functional ability, of the kitchen is outdated.

It often involves replacing (not just repainting or refinishing) all the major surfaces of a kitchen, installing new flooring, countertops, sinks and custom cabinets. New features might be added, like an island or extra cabinetry. And of course major appliances will be upgraded, often with energy- or space-saving models.

Design and contracting professionals are more likely to be needed to execute the project correctly. As a result, the average cost is $75,571 for a 200 square-foot kitchen.

A major kitchen renovation is the most complex and expensive type of kitchen-design project. Upscale kitchen remodels typically involve a new and improved floor plan, enlargement of the space, and re-arrangement of pipes, gas lines or wiring. Virtually everything is changed or replaced, and generally with top-of-the-line finishes and appliances, luxe or speciality materials, and much customization of sizes and shapes.

Cooking enthusiasts and homeowners interested in a customized space are more likely to go with a major kitchen remodel. Its not unusual for interior designers, contractors and even engineers to be involved. Building permits may be required.

Not surprisingly, the cost of the project is usually the steepest. Expect to pay an average of $150,000 for a major remodeled kitchen. Plus, you may need to move out while the construction is in progress or make alternate cooking arrangements: Full-bore kitchen overhauls often take longer and can be disruptive because of the level of demolition required.

Its generally construction and floor plan rearrangement that kicks a remodel into the major category. Some pros divide kitchen redos into two types minor and major with minor being purely cosmetic jobs, and major being those involving structural changes. They then top off the major category with an additional luxury tier, which reflects the type of materials.

The cost of those materials and features can vary wildly. For example, you could replace a refrigerator with an $800 model from a home improvement store or spend $20,000 on a Sub-Zero professional model with glass doors; spend $100 per on a set of stock cabinets, or $1,000 apiece for custom-made ones.

On the other hand, installation costs are relatively fixed. Here are some of the elements that go into an average kitchen remodel and their typical installation prices, based on small, midrange, or major kitchen remodels, according to Homeadvisor.

As you can see, you could spend $1,000 or $100,000 on a kitchen renovation. In fact, homeowners continue to spend more year over year on kitchen remodeling regardless of the project scale. The Houzz 2022 Kitchen Trends Study found that the median spend on a major renovation is 14 percent more than 2021 and 25 percent higher than the previous year for a minor redo.

The real question is, how much should you spend on a kitchen remodel?

A freshly updated kitchen is generally one of the most sought-after features by homebuyers. Improvements you make to the kitchen can add to your homes value. However, splurging on a major kitchen remodel may bring more joy than an actual return on your investment. Spending $50,000 on a kitchen remodel does not mean you automatically add $50,000 or more in property value.

In many cases, a minor refresh will have a higher ROI than a major remodel,Reese Freeman, a general contractor in Steamboat Springs, CO says. Thats borne out by Remodelings Cost vs Value Report, which notes that minor kitchen remodels recoup about 72 per cent of their cost, while the most upscale major remodels only recoup half (53.9 percent).

If your goal is to maximize the value of your home, such as for a resale, then a minor refresh is the way to go. But, if you have the funds, some extra features and complete renovation of the space will add quite a bit of added comfort to your life and have a wow factor every time you walk into it.

If you do want bang for your kitchen-remodeling buck, keep certain factors in mind.

Over-customizing a kitchen can limit your future home-buying audience. Choose features and design styles that would be appreciated by a larger variety of individuals. Custom items such as a walk-in wine cellar may work for your family but may only cater to a limited clientele in the future.

Before undertaking a midrange or major kitchen remodel, do some research on what homes in your area sell for and the general condition of the kitchens and baths. You could look at local listings for your ZIP code through sources such as Zillow or Redfin to view interior photos for ideas. Keeping a kitchen remodel in line with other homes in the area could help you avoid overspending on features that are not as popular for the neighborhood you live in.

Saving on certain kitchen components and rolling the savings over to specific features could be a smart move. For example, choosing quartz countertops over natural marble could free up your budget (and require far less maintenance). The savings could be applied towards other upgrades such as better appliances. Teri Simone, the Chief Kitchen Designer for Nieu Cabinet Doors, explains, Splurging on high-end appliances can save big in the long run on energy efficiency, and these appliances often come with better warranties or even service plans.

A kitchen remodel can be as simple as painting cabinets, updating faucets or replacing an appliance. Or it can involve knocking down walls, relocating plumbing and creating a whole new footprint, in partnership with interior designers and contractors.

When deciding on how large of a project you are willing to undertake, be strategic with your kitchen remodeling decisions: Evaluate the number of changes you wish to make, the expense of the project and the time frame. You may decide that a kitchen refresh will suffice. However, if you plan on living in the home for a while and are willing to take on the expense and commitment of a midrange or major kitchen renovation, the results could increase your property value and offer you years of cooking enjoyment.

If youre taking on a big, complicated project that could get hopelessly tangled up with one wrong move, it pays to seek out advice. Youd talk to every expert you knew before building a custom home, for example, and youd probably read everything in sight before embarking on a 30-day bike trip across the western United States.

CIOs overseeing digital transformation projects have been advised by the best and the brightest everyone from analysts to consultants to colleagues to peers and most would say the counsel theyve received has been helpful. But occasionally, a tip gets passed along thats outdated or just plain wrong. While it may have made sense at one time, it would steer them off track if they pursued it today.

As your organization adapts its transformation strategies to succeed in a post-pandemic environment, here are three pieces of outdated advice to avoid and a few counter-tips to follow instead.

Historically, many IT leaders thought that in order to survive in a digital-first era, they had to transform from top to bottom, across every department and product line. This caused many transformation efforts to fail. Companies tried to invest too broadly in the concept and aimed too high in an effort to generate results.

This type of thinking isnt practical because there will always be limitations on resources and the ability to absorb change. Companies that try to do too much too fast end up with failed projects that werent scoped, sized, or prioritized correctly.

A better approach is to dedicate to prioritization. Make sure you take on projects one at a time. Use agile methodologies and lean techniques to select what youre going to work on first. Then work through each one before moving on to the next thing. In this way, you can incrementally accomplish your transformation rather than trying to boil the ocean.

Over the years, organizations have periodically divided up IT groups, with one concentrating on maintaining legacy functions and another pursuing innovation for the future. This practice was resurrected in an effort to achieve faster and more effective digital transformations. Creating a bifurcated IT function may have a place in very large organizations that are pursuing many projects at once, but in the mid-market, it doesnt work.

Having one group maintain legacy products and unleashing another to focus on innovation leaves individuals in the first group behind, creating a culture of haves and have-nots.

This is especially problematic today considering the tight job market for skilled IT professionals. Having one group maintain legacy products and unleashing another to focus on innovation leaves individuals in the first group behind, creating a culture of haves and have-nots. The employees working on new technologies are able to challenge themselves and stretch their skill sets. Meanwhile, workers focusing on legacy technologies are less satisfied with unexciting tasks, making them more likely to leave knowing theyll have no trouble finding other jobs. The organization ends up needing to hire more workers or reassign those from the innovation group to ensure legacy technologies are still being supported.

Companies are better off creating an agile, collaborative IT organization with cross-functional groups not segmented by technology. Plus, if youre going to train new people on new technology, a new business practice, a new process, or a new way of doing things, you might as well train more broadly as it effectively costs the same.

For years, the culture of IT has been to move fast, break things, reassess, and retool. This pattern took hold at the dawn of the digital transformation era. After all the breaking and reassembling, measurement was tacked on at the end, to see if the transformation initiative achieved the stated goals.

More on digital transformation

This is a poor strategy. Instead of waiting and measuring later, its better to set up the analytics upfront to validate the transformation process as it goes along.

Transformation doesnt happen all at once. Its iterative, and you will need to be able to measure improvement from iteration to iteration. To do this, you need to set up the right architecture for the project, scope out reasonable goals, and instill a process to measure progress step by step. Then you will be able to review measurements periodically and adjust tactics as needed to see steady improvements.

Digital transformation is a major undertaking. As an IT leader, you should continue to seek advice to help prepare for what lies ahead. But dont be wedded to any one particular piece of advice, because what works today may not work tomorrow, and what works for one organization might not work for another. Validating the advice, testing it, and being willing to adapt are all important elements of a successful transformation process.
