Sukeena Homes’ Gwen Sukeena is a sophomore participant in this year’s Pasadena Showcase House. Last year, she worked on the home’s powder room and this year she reimagines the bar/lounge area. A realtor and designer, Sukeena honors the home’s 1933 legacy—the last year of prohibition.

California Faucets

Gwen Sukeena, of Sukeena Homes in Pasadena, designed the Powder Room. She embraced the home’s history by using one-of-a-kind pieces and masculine walls typical of the Tudor style but balanced with femininity on the floor and ceiling. Sukeena incorporated a custom vanity and mirror along with California Faucets’ Montecito, an elegant, Edwardian-style widespread faucet. The faucet features a Burnished Brass Uncoated living finish, which, over time, will age and patina for a vintage look.

While it is great to see new design products in person at trade shows and markets, it is even better to see them used by designers with real expertise in person. In my recent Pasadena Showcase House of Design tour, I noticed some of these products and design trends that you might want to consider in your next project.
