The calendar says, "It's just now fall!" but we're already prepping for holiday entertaining and end-of-year home improvements.

Choose New Caesarstone for Dreamy Rustic, Meticulous Spaces
Exposed natural materials give the space an essential and authentic warmth - and when you add Caesarstone Cloudburst Concrete, it echoes the patina of concrete that's deepened with a cloud-like textured finish. From stone to sinks, fixtures to hardware, knobs, pulls and more - if it goes in a kitchen or bath, it goes in Dannick Design's premier showroom in Valencia.

Transform your Yard this Fall
It's the Best Time for Lawn Replacement
Fall is the ideal time to replace your traditional lawn with a sustainable, water-efficient landscape - and SCV Water offers various rebates to help offset the costs.
Cooler temperatures and shorter days create perfect planting conditions, allowing new plants to establish strong roots with less water. Traditional lawns require significant maintenance and water, making drought-tolerant alternatives like native plants and xeriscaping smarter choices.
Start by applying for SCV Water's program, planning your landscape, removing the old lawn, amending the soil and installing water-efficient irrigation. Planting in the fall gives your landscape the best chance to thrive by spring.
Finish with mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Choose water-wise options to create a beautiful, eco-friendly yard that supports local wildlife and conserves water.

Add pendant lighting over your nightstand to add visual interest and depth to your space.
Update your nightstands! You don't even have to update your entire bedroom set. Start with your nightstands and style them with The Shop @ RRI accessories for a complete look.

Why You Need an Interior Designer
Remodeling or refreshing your home is a big investment - and working with a designer saves you money, time and frustration. Here are four reasons why we love working with our interior designers.
Proper space planning. Ever bought a sofa, table or artwork that ended up too big or small for your space? A designer will space plan prior to purchase to make sure everything is sized appropriately.
Sticking to a budget. Designers know how to create solutions for every price point, carefully planning for unexpected costs while keeping to your desired aesthetic.
Making dreams a reality. Your designer has access to materials and furniture that aren't available to the general public. They can bring your vision to life while saving you endless hours of web surfing and resourcing.
You'll never pay retail price again. Designers work with companies all over the country for the best quality and pricing - and they extend those discounts to their clients.

Improve your Comfort System's Efficiency Before it's Cold Again
Your heating and cooling system is most likely the highest energy-using appliance in your home during the hot days of spring and summer, then again when things cool down in the fall and winter - so having your comfort system serviced in spring and fall is a wise choice. A professional HVAC service technician will check for clogged filters, duct leakage, improper air balance and clogged evaporative coils - just some of the reasons a system may not be running efficiently, causing the system to work harder, drawing more energy usage. GW Richardson Heating and Air Conditioning Nate-certified technicians can provide full-system preventive maintenance for a reasonable cost so you can be confident that you'll stay cool in the heat and cozy in the cold - while keeping your bills lower year round.
