“We were so pleased to partner with Isabel, Nikka, and the Earth and Images team for the creation of our new house, which was built on the site of my childhood home. We wanted to incorporate a variety of repurposed elements: finishes from the existing home, stained glass from our house in Tulsa, and a variety of vintage Art Deco light fixtures. The team met the challenge with enthusiasm and creativity.

Touring the pre-demolition home, Isabel and Nikka identified a generous number of elements that could be reimagined in the new Santa Barbara design. These included cabinet handles, iron gate components, and indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures.
During the process, the team was responsive to our ideas and their guidance and vision are evident throughout our home. We are surrounded by fixtures and finishes linking us to our memories of childhood and family: charming floral drawer pulls Isabel knew would look perfect in the laundry room, a custom dining room chandelier designed by Nikka using decorative wrought iron elements from the original entry gate, leaded glass panels from our Tulsa property which found a new home in the liquor cabinet. Finally, a diverse group of vintage lights glow in bathrooms, bedrooms, and the theater to enhance an art deco theme.
We feel so fortunate to have the knowledge of the Earth and Images team in creating a home which gives a warm and wonderful nod to the past while looking fresh and welcoming.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Isabel and her team on a marvelous project that was completed last year. Everything about each room was so well orchestrated, so thoughtfully put together, that the final outcome was a home that was personalized to the clients taste and lifestyle down to the tiniest of detail. A project like this can only come as a result of a team that is passionate, talented and absolutely excellent at their profession. We were grateful to have played a part in realizing the clients and Isabel’s vision! We can’t say enough about what a great firm they are to work with, whether one is a client or an artisan. -ANNA SADLER”
