Luxury Living: Take a Virtual Tour of a Los Angeles Mansion

Pictured: Trentino (Left),  Zanzibar (Right)

Los Angeles, California is home to some of the most extravagant and opulent homes in the country and today we are shining the spotlight on one of its finest. Step inside this 20,000+ square foot mega-mansion where modern flair meets timeless style.

Constructed in 2019, this sprawling home features 7 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and a vast landscaped lot including a lavish pool off the terrace in the beautifully landscaped back gardens.

If the front view of the home was not enough to take your breath away, the first thing you see upon entering the massive double doors is a stunning bifurcated staircase. Large checkerboard marble adorns most of the first floor and leads to the European oak Trentino on the palatial stairs.

Splashes of vibrant color accent the stark black and vibrant white color palette of the spacious chef’s kitchen.

Villa Caprisi: Trentino

The incredible onyx planks of the European oak Trentino are featured all the way up the luxurious staircase leading to the second level.

Each 9.5″ wide plank is constructed using genuine character grade European oak. This results in hardwoods that are not only highly durable, but that stand unrivaled as magnificent works of art.

This incredible home does not shy away from the use of bold color. Appropriately dubbed the “Pink Room”, this beautiful and bold bedroom is fit for a princess.

Just next door lies the playroom of children’s daydreams. A grand pink sofa, daring wallpaper, and a grand chandelier come together to create the perfect space for imaginative play.

Rest in style in the large guest sleeping quarters down the hall, more comfortable and beautiful than the most luxurious hotel.

Timbertop Chevron: Zanzibar

Of course, we have reserved the best for last. The premium European oak Zanzibar adorns the expansive primary suite. The light blond color of the Zanzibar is reminiscent of fine white sand beaches and brings to mind the luxury of a quiet retreat.

Through the doorway of the lush primary bedroom is a bathroom that is, in a word, absolutely extravagant.

We hope you enjoyed your virtual tour of this incredible space! Love what you see here? View more details on the Trentino and Zanzibar on our website or click here to be connected with an Urbanfloor retailer nearest you.

 

Featured Floor: European Oak Ravenna

Say ‘hello’ to your new favorite hardwood floor – the European oak Ravenna!

AESTHETIC & STYLE

The European oak Ravenna has the perfect light and airy color tones. Each 9 1/2″ wide plank features a beautiful wirebrushed finish that accents the natural grain of genuine European oak. Minimal color variation and a modern matte finish create the perfect canvas for a multitude of design styles. With elegant neutral tones, a luxurious texture, and a scratch-resistant surface, the resulting combination is a floor as beautiful as it is durable.

The airy color of the Ravenna works with nearly any design style, wall color, or furnishing. Incredibly versatile, the pale tones of this wide-plank floor will brighten any space and make it appear larger.

STRENGTH & DURABILITY

The European oak Ravenna’s 9 1/2″ wide planks are constructed with a durable 4mm wear layer that is further bolstered with a multi-ply, cross-grain engineered core. This engineered construction enables the floor to be structurally stable and minimizes the expected seasonal expansion and gapping in hardwood floors. The Villa Caprisi collection is backed with Urbanfloor’s lifetime structural and 35-year finish warranty (see warranty information here for more details). As a result, you can choose the Ravenna with confidence that its timeless aesthetic will endure for years to come.

Xolcation Series

Xolcation

“XOLCATION” is an original web series executive produced and created by Eduardo Xol (pronounced soul), who is best known for his work as a member of the design team for the two-time Emmy award-winning international hit, “Extreme Makeover Home Edition.”  Eduardo continues to work in television, currently serving as a lifestyle expert on Utilisima, a Fox International Network reaching more than 21 million homes in 34 territories across the Americas and throughout the Balkans.

“XOLCATION” documents the renovation of a California weekend beach house belonging to celebrity couple Jennifer Finnigan and Jonathan Silverman. Eduardo assembled a special team of close friends and talented individuals for this project. The goal? To create a brand and product integrated web series that brings the “vacation at home” experience to an outdated living space, which is in much need of a facelift to truly become a home away from home to relax and enjoy as if on vacation.

The series begins with a special focus on the bathrooms and kitchen that quickly evolves into a much larger project. Eduardo’s inspiration for the renovation came from his first visit to Kohler, Wisconsin. When Eduardo began working with his clients, he decided to pitch the documentation of the project to KOHLER and “XOLCATION” was born.

This is the first complete renovation that Eduardo is fully in charge of since leaving “Extreme Makeover Home Edition”.  It gives the viewer a rare and intimate look at Eduardo’s life while getting valuable information about planning and executing a home renovation project of this magnitude.  “XOLCATION” is a hybrid of documented reality and produced entertainment. Kohler will be the main presenter of this web series and is co-producing the project with Eduardo’s production team at Eduardo Xol, Inc.

Eduardo’s cast for the web series includes his clients, Jennifer Finnigan and Jonathan Silverman. Finnigan is a three-time Emmy Award-winning actress, who next stars in the new David E. Kelly series “Monday Mornings” set to air on TNT.  While Silverman is best known for his film role in “Weekend at Bernie’s, he recently wrapped the movie “Self Storage” and stars in and directed National Lampoon’s “Another Dirty Movie”.

Eduardo’s on-camera cast also includes Dinah Leffert (Project Manager), Richard Morales (Communications Director), Trey Payment (Personal Assistant), K.C. Morgan (Design and Build Associate), Bryan Cooper (Lead Carpenter) and Daniel Lopez (General Contractor). Alexander Jeffrey, who is not seen on camera, serves as the Director of the web series.

Visiting the Lazio Region of Italy

Thursday, June 7, 2012
by Dan Simon

The Lazio Region of Italy is located in the central area of the Italian peninsula and is the divide between the north and the south.  The west coast of this region overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea.  Since the country of Italy is commonly known as the shape of a boot…  to get an idea of its geographic location just look down at your leg and it would be located just above and below your knee.  The name Lazio (pronounced ‘lattsjo) comes from the Latin, LATIUM.  Lazio is divided into five Provinces – Frosinone (FR), Latina (LT), Rieti (RT), Roma (RM), and Viterbo (VT).

Lazio Region and Provinces

The Lazio region is rich in culture and history perhaps most famously for being the center of the Roman Empire as well it is the world center of the Catholic religion home to the Vatican. The foundation of ancient Rome begins in the 8th century BC.  Outside of Rome this region is mostly plains and hills with a mountain region located in the Province of Rieti.

More than have the population of the entire region live in or around the city of Rome.  Lazio is the third most populated and the second richest region of Italy.  Rome has pioneered many engineering feats that have been the foundation of the technologies we benefit from today.  The area has inspired countless motion pictures like Gladiator.

There is no argument that can be made how much this region has influenced and inspired the world for centuries and that influence has even stretched to Urbanfloor and our Villa Caprisi Collection and hence the name ‘Lazio’  as the name of one of the 8-colors in this collection.  To view photos and get more details simply visit HERE.

Who’s being sent to Italy?

So have you ever been to McDonald’s when they do the Monopoly game promotion and ever think to yourself… does anyone ever actually win these contests?

In a previous blog under the Contests section we announced a dealer contest at the Surfaces 2012 trade show at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in viva Las Vegas, NV.  Dealers at the show could visit our booth and enter into a drawing to win a trip for two to Rome, Italy.  The motivation for the trip was to promote our newest collection Villa Caprisi with an Italian inspired design using brushed European Oak.

Talk is cheap and people want to see it to believe it right?  So here you go.  This is the winner of our Win a Trip to Italy drawing at the Surfaces 2012 trades show:
