9 MEET THE DESIGNERS CURTIS LEE Curtis Lee has always loved all things design. He made a career out of that passion six years ago when he joined Design Within Reach (DWR), which makes modern design accessible by offering furniture pieces that have been in production since the mid-20th century, as well as items being designed today. There s nowhere else you can go to see all of these iconic collections under one roof, said Lee. Originally a studio proprietor for DWR in Honolulu, Lee is now the area manager for DWR in both Orange County and Hawaii. He relishes the opportunity to spend every day surrounded by pieces from past and present-day designers. Many of our items are part of permanent exhibitions at MOMA (the Museum of Modern Art), he said. He and others at DWR work to alleviate the overwhelming feeling their clients often experience when trying to achieve a style or signature look on their own. Lee recommends focusing on re-imagining a single room at a time. He also suggests design enthusiasts take advantage of DWR s complimentary 3D space planning service to help visualize their space. A great room or a great design instantly improves your mood, he said. Lee also understands the innovative and signature brand DWR is and appreciates the company s ability to make authentic modern design accessible. He is proud that there are no copies or knockoffs at DWR. He also understands the enduring attributes of quality style. He recommends that designs and style choices should be relevant and look great in your home or office in five, 10 or 20 years. At Design Within Reach, we look for and carry designs that will endure the test of time, said Lee. Design Within Reach is located in SOCO at 3343 Hyland Ave., Suite C1, Costa Mesa.

Over the past two years, she s reinvented herself while also changing the way people in Orange County view their old furniture from antiques to flea market finds. This former interior designer has expanded her artistic influence, working with hundreds of clients in her workshop and showroom, Peinture Studios at SOCO in Costa Mesa, helping them not only refinish, but actually reinvent their furnishings.

George thrives on helping people see the many options they have to change a room from drab to fab with doors. It s fun solving our clients jaw-dropping pieces. Her love for Chalk Paint a one-step, no-prep painting process from the UK that she discovered online and passion for sharing it with others inspired her to open her bright, airy and colorful showroom and studio in SOCO last year.

Her favorite flea market is the Long interior door challenges and being inspired by the beautiful SOCO surroundings, she said. Part of her job is showing clients what s trendy and fashionable. She said one of the biggest trends in doors is making spaces flexible with use of our room dividers and then adding that wow factor with our frameless glass barn doors. To achieve that wow factor, George advises clients to invest in high quality and functional products that will add beauty to your spaces and make your life easier. Beach Flea Market, but she s also found some of her favorite pieces at the Salvation Army, estate sales, craigslist.com and garage sales. She also loves to haunt small vintage shops in Los Angeles and salvage stores in San Diego. She always has her eye on old buffets, armoires and pieces with casters because of their charm and ornate details which look incredible with the application of the Chalk Paint. In an area known for being on-trend, Waltz is seeing trends in the paint department: a ton of graphite, which is a soft black color; old white, which is a creamy white; and duck egg blue, soft blue with green undertones, all being purchased consistently at Peinture Studios. Waltz agrees with interior designer Jan Showers opinion George gets a tremendous amount of pleasure helping her clients see the wonders that sliding doors can do for a room.
