Season 2 of SKETCH Premieres May 19th

This Thursday, May 19^th, we will premiere Episode 1 of Season 2 of our show SKETCH on www.thedesignnetwork.com/series/sketch/ ! To kick it off we invite you all to a happy hour celebration at our offices starting at 5pm. Please RSVP to Stacey at Stacey@candelariadesign.com if you will be stopping by!

We are excited to share our second season with you all and to be a part of the amazing lineup on The Design Network. Our Season 1 was a big success and with the production team of Ken “Spanky” Moskowitz and his talented team at www.wedgiecreative.com I think you are going to see how he has taken our show to a higher level.

So what is SKETCH about and why are we doing it? First and foremost, video is such a wonderful medium to share our work. The typical method of capturing a project in a half dozen photos that appear on your website or in a magazine never quite capture all the details, the story, or the team that shares and collaborates in the creation of these homes. I wanted a way to do this to really celebrate these homes and the memories that they capture. As I say over and over, “it’s not just about getting a set of plans.” We are creating your home and the place you experience life virtually every day and night of your life. It is such an honor and responsibility to help create a home that truly embodies a clients’ dreams, wishes, and aspirations for living life as fully as possible. Our show SKETCH will hopefully demonstrate our commitment to that experience.

So in Season 2 we have eight episodes! Our first episode premiering on May 19^th will feature a beautiful home currently on the cover of  Southwest Style Magazine.  I originally designed the Texas Hill Country inspired home in 2006 which was constructed by Schultz Development Group www.schultzdevelopment.org and landscaped by http://www.berghoffdesign.com. Well one of my clients who we just completed a remodel-renovation in LaJolla, CA purchased the home and the Candelaria-Schultz team gave it a make over. Along with a dinner celebration where I was co-chef at http://marcellinoristorante.com  where we raised $5k for www.firstfoodbank.org to Chef Marcellino cooking right in the finished home this episode will show you a wonderful makeover of one of my original homes with one of my favorite clients and and the fun we had along the way.

Episode 2 debuting on May 26^th will feature probably one of my all-time marquis homes, the French Chateau on Exeter in Arcadia. Built in 2005 by http://nanceconstruction.com and landscaped impeccably by http://www.berghoffdesign.com you will be mesmerized by the footage, including drone footage by Wedgie Creative and the story behind the creation of this home.

Episode 3 debuting on June 2^nd, will feature a spectacular hillside European inspired villa we designed in http://desertmountain.com . This home was designed to celebrate the views spanning from 4 peaks and the fountain in Fountain Hills to the Cardinal Stadium in the west. At the same time we were minimizing walls for the views, we needed walls for the beautiful artwork by the client who is an accomplished artist! This home was just completed by http://www.manshipbuilders.com and furnished by Paula Den Boer of http://ashleypdesign.com.

Episode 4 debuting on June 9^th, while I’m in Italy on our 13^th Candelaria Design Tour Italy, will feature a 20,000+ sf Italian Farmhouse estate we completed a couple of years ago in http://silverleaf.com . Inspired from my journeys to Italy this home has a beautiful elegance masterfully choreographed by Interior Designer David Michael Miller http://davidmichaelmiller.com, landscaped by http://www.berghoffdesign.com, and constructed by http://www.salcito.com .

Episode 5 then moves north for the summer for a three part episode featuring three homes over a span of 12 years I designed in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho! Our first home will debut on June 16^th and is in fact the first Candelaria Design Project ever. Started in September 1999 this true log home built by http://edwardssmith.com is a special home with a special story for me. Anyone who spends time in Coeur d’Alene knows the magic of the Stancraft Boats  http://stancraftboats.com and we will feature a ride on one of these floating pieces of art on the water along with a tour of the factory by owner Robb Bloem including John Elway’s boat!

Episode 6 debuting on June 23^rd will feature another European inspired home but this time in the mountains overlooking Lake Coeur d’Alene in the beautiful development of https://www.blackrockidaho.com. This home will tell the story of yet another unique relationship with my clients who actually will be on our June 2016 Candelaria Design Tour Italy trip and will just be returning in time to view this episode.

Episode 7 debuting on June 30^th will be the last home in our three piece series of the Candelaria Design homes of Coeur d’Alene. This home is mountain elegance at its finest. On the shores of Hayden Lake this home built by http://www.rosenbergerhomes.com with custom lighting design by  my good friend Walter Spitz at http://cdltg.com takes living on the lake to a whole new level. We finish this episode with dinner at http://www.angelosristorante.net/home.htm where I bring all three Coeur d’Alene clients over a span of 12 years together for a fabulous celebration and dinner!

Finally, Episode 8 will debut on July 7^th. This episode will recap Season 2 and give you a peek at Season 3!  From blasting away on Camelback Mountain, to making pizzas in a 10,000 sf villa in the middle of a farm field in Yuma,  to going subterranean with the new 35,000 square foot Colten Cowell Crime Fighting Cave https://coltencowellfoundation.org we will tease you with some of the spectacular homes and stories that will delight you in Season 3.
