Designed and built in the aughts, the Scottsdale, Ariz., home possessed a very early 2000s interior that was emphasized by its Tuscan-inspired kitchen. Recognizing that this called for serious renovation, he googled professionals and stumbled upon a celebrated <\/span><span class=\"s2\">luxury interior\u00a0designer<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> right in his backyard: <a href=\"https:\/\/livingwithlolo.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Lauren Lerner<\/span><\/a>, founder and principal designer of\u00a0Living with Lolo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Lessons in Wabi-Sabi<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s2\">Scottsdale designer<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> has said the Tuscan style is common in her area and that she\u2019s being asked to replace it for a lot of clients. Dark, off-the-shelf cabinetry, polished-granite countertops, beige walls and stone-emulating tile floors defined the space, a far cry from the client\u2019s aesthetic preference of Japandi minimalism. But, with an HOA forbidding changes to the Mediterranean-style exterior, Lerner strove to marry these competing languages so it would feel like the same home inside and out. The happy medium they landed on was wabi-sabi, which Lerner says celebrates natural materials and organic shapes and creates an overwhelming sense of calm as well as a lived-in feel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-167728 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_Before_kitchen.jpg\" alt=\"Before &amp; After: Wabi-Sabi Design in Arizona\u00a0\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_Before_kitchen.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_Before_kitchen-980x539.jpg 980w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_Before_kitchen-480x264.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/550;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Staying within the existing kitchen\u2019s footprint, her team demoed the old millwork and a window over the original sink, which was filled in to provide more usable space. Custom dark-stained oak cabinetry climbs up to the ceiling on two sides, creates one long work counter on the filled-in window side, and forms two islands at the room\u2019s center. Altogether, they increase storage by 30% and respond to one of the client\u2019s asks: to keep small appliances hidden and off the counter. Swaths of basalt-cream <a href=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/business-people-news\/sapienstone-updates-showroom-in-castellarano-italy\/164860\/\">Sapienstone<\/a>, a nod to the desert city\u2019s sand, form the countertops and lend to the calm wabi-sabi feel, while the material\u2019s soft satin finish addresses a second client ask \u2013 to eliminate shiny finishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Since this request extended to metallic surfaces and objects, the designer paneled all the appliances, save for the range and ovens, and utilized push-to-open hardware. (The only exceptions are the fridge and freezer units, which sport discrete, long and slim bar-style pulls stained to match the millwork.) The custom plaster hood over the range, ivory zellige-tile backsplash and limewashed walls and ceiling stick to this directive while also leaning into the wabi-sabi principle of finding beauty in imperfection, cleverly announcing that nothing is cookie-cutter here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Striking a Balance<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The old kitchen had a single square island close to the cook wall, but it left the remaining space empty and looking lopsided. Lerner swapped it out for a pair of rectangular islands. Moving the sink from the perimeter to one of the islands enhanced flow and opened the opportunity to create the single uninterrupted worktop along the former sink wall. Meanwhile, the second island provides a dedicated seating counter unimpacted by cooking prep work. A favorite of the designer\u2019s, irregular woven-rope pendants dangle above each island.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-167725 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_After_kitchen.jpg\" alt=\"Before &amp; After: Wabi-Sabi Design in Arizona\u00a0\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_After_kitchen.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_After_kitchen-980x539.jpg 980w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_After_kitchen-480x264.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/550;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThey\u2019re very organic shapes\u00a0that fit\u00a0the wabi-sabi aesthetic,\u201d said Lerner. \u201cCustom and original pieces come with an extra-large price tag, but these fixtures still give that collected look while staying within our client\u2019s budget.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rounding out the kitchen\u2019s new-found palette are white oak floors; a warm welcome compared to the old dark stone-mimicking tiles. Quite pleased with the results of her work, which also included the living room and other non-private zones, the client had her return to remodel the primary bathroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>A Quiet Place<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The\u00a0house\u2019s\u00a0original Tuscan aesthetic was\u00a0truly\u00a0amped up in the old\u00a0primary\u00a0bath: The dated vanities, drop-in tub\u00a0surround\u00a0and walk-in shower all donned a mosaic border with a scroll design, for instance, and beige travertine-evoking tiles cladded\u00a0the floors, some of the walls and an arched entrance to the shower.\u00a0To stay within budget, the team kept all the plumbing in place but ripped out all the\u00a0fixtures,\u00a0finishes\u00a0and\u00a0shower\u00a0enclosure\u00a0to start anew.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-167727 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_Before_bath.jpg\" alt=\"Before &amp; After: Wabi-Sabi Design in Arizona\u00a0\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_Before_bath.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_Before_bath-980x539.jpg 980w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_Before_bath-480x264.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/550;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The revamped bath echoes the calming wabi-sabi character of the kitchen through limewashed walls outside of the shower, dark-stained oak vanities, clean lines and lack of sheen. As the client is enamored by the look of integrated elements, Lerner designed single-piece countertops with integrated sloping sinks for the vanities. Cement is also picked up by a new freestanding tub in one corner of the bath and gray porcelain tile flooring throughout.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The design team recreated the old shower archway, alluding to the house\u2019s original Mediterranean vibe, and clad its soffit with black marble\u2013simulating porcelain tiles, which continue onto the shower walls. Arches repeat in the vanity mirrors, faucets, new shower enclosure window and integrated shelving niche at the tub, but beyond referencing Mediterranean architecture, they serve another purpose. Knowing that one day the client will introduce a significant other, Lerner made sure to add softer elements into the primary bath so it wouldn\u2019t read too masculine. All the arches, limewashed walls, ovoid tub and rounded alabaster pendants above the vanities contribute to this effort.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-167724 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_After_bath.jpg\" alt=\"Before &amp; After: Wabi-Sabi Design in Arizona\u00a0\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_After_bath.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_After_bath-980x539.jpg 980w, https:\/\/kbbonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BA_After_bath-480x264.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/550;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">According to the designer, the client\u00a0hasn\u2019t\u00a0singled out one favorite element of his new bath, but he\u00a0emphatically\u00a0approves of\u00a0the overall\u00a0uniqueness of\u00a0the\u00a0wabi-sabi\u00a0aesthetic\u00a0here and throughout the house.
