        <media:description><![CDATA[There's no ocean view from the Ortiz home. It&#8217;s rare to get a breeze off the Pacific, 5 miles away. And yet there&#8217;s something distinctly beachy &#8213; airy, bright, and natural &#8213; about the Southern California home Russell and Susan Ortiz share with their four kids.The Ortizes are the team behind Shine Home, their design company known for its modern beach-bohemian style. But while their home embodies this sensibility, it&#8217;s no showroom. It&#8217;s a livable, functional place with room to romp.&#8220;The house looks modern, but it&#8217;s definitely not formal,&#8221; Susan says. &#8220;We want the kids to feel comfortable in every room, so they want to be where we are. We think this is the goal of a family home.&#8221;Style secret:&#160;The large-format prints are detail shots of fabric and tile that Susan Ortiz took and had enlarged]]></media:description>

        <media:description><![CDATA[How we did it:&#160;We removed the drawer handles, lightly sanded all surfaces with sandpaper, and wiped with a damp cloth. Next, we applied one coat of primer and three coats of Benjamin Moore&#8217;s high-gloss Bunny Gray paint (2124-50), letting it dry between coats. We painted the tabletops with a chevron pattern using a stencil fashioned from 1- and 2-in.-wide painter&#8217;s tape, applying two coats of high-gloss white paint (2-oz. sample jar). Then we replaced the handles.Time: 1 weekendCost: $38 for primer and paintTry this: Instead of a complicated pattern, unify the tops with a single border stripe 1 in. from the edge.More: &#160;Get step-by-step instructions and download our free chevron pattern]]></media:description>

That's why California architect Stephen Atikinson created what might be called built-in floaters of pine and red oak, with seriously strong support.The total cost of the project was $500.&#160;Wood trim hides the brackets supporting the shelves, creating an elegant appearance reinforced by the larger display shelf at the bottom.Get the how-to]]></media:description>

Have enough fabric to generously cover the front of your headboard and the back side about 5 inches in. Wrap the fabric over the top edge of headboard and secure with a staple in the center, about three inches in from the edge.2. On the opposite edge, pull fabric taut and staple to secure. Repeat on remaining two sides, then staple all around the edges, pulling cloth tight. Stop 3 inches from corners.3. Fold the fabric at one corner into a neat finish by tucking the excess underneath and smoothing the top down. Secure with three or four staples, keeping the folds flat and even. Repeat for each corner.This striped headboard fabric is available at Beach House Style.&#160;Get more coastal cottage style tips]]></media:description>
