Studio Life Lately: Gratitude, Growth, and What's Coming Next

What a year it's been.

As we head into August, the team at Hacienda Design Studio is pausing to soak in a little gratitude. Between construction walkthroughs, furnishing installs, and late night mood boards, it's easy to move fast and forget to look back, but this year has been one of our most meaningful yet.

From full home renovations to virtual design projects for clients scattered across the country, we've had the privilege of building spaces that feel like home, warm, layered, and unmistakably personal.

Every tile choice, every lighting fixture, every furniture layout has been a labor of love from our small but mighty team.

None of this happens without the people behind it. Jancarlo keeping every project timeline on track. Tati chasing down vendor details and design revisions with more patience than we deserve. This studio runs on collaboration, coffee, and a whole lot of heart.

Looking Ahead

And the gratitude doesn't stop here, because we have something big on the horizon. We're honored to be stepping into the rebuilding efforts across the Pacific Palisades and Malibu, helping families reimagine their homes from the ground up after everything they've lost. This is design work, yes, but it's also something deeper: helping people rebuild a sense of place and stability, one room at a time.

We don't take the trust placed in us lightly, and we're grateful for the opportunity to help bring warmth, comfort, and beauty back into this next chapter for these families.

More details on these projects to come as they break ground... stay tuned.

To everyone who has trusted us with their homes, their spaces, and their stories this year thank you. Here's to a beautiful rest of 2026.
