Hmmm. I bet you are looking for some examples. Easy peasy. I will just rattle off some names….no further explanation is necessary: Martin Luther King, Jr. (1928), Andrew Young (1932), Bobby Seale (1934), Abbie Hoffman (1936), Ken Kesey (1935), Bob Dylan (1941), Joni Mitchell (1943), Carole King (1942), John Lennon (1940), Paul McCartney (1942), Paul Simon (1941)…there are many more, but I think you get the point. The older I become, the more cynical I am. I guess that comes with age. The definition of “Boomers” as leaders in a kind of cultural revolution is essentially bogus. They followed, and by the time they hit their 50s, they dropped out and started to watch Fox News. I am not saying that is right or wrong from the standpoint of values, all I am saying is that it is what it is.

HOMES TOUCHED BY THE UBER-TALENTED CANDICE NEWLAND, AN INTUITIVE DESIGNER WHO WORKS WITH CLIENTS TO CREATE ONEOF-A-KIND INTERIOR SPACES THAT REFLECT THEIR LIFESTYLE WITH FUNCTION AND FLAIR. “I consider myself more of an artist than a designer,” says Newland, who views each project as a creative process, akin to giving birth, that is never repeated. As an intuitive designer, “I’m able to identify the uniqueness of each client and I never do the same thing twice. Each person is unique in this world, and

my job is to make their space a version of their greatness,” she says. Steering clear of “cookie-cutter” designs, Newland strives to “find the balance between inspiration and tranquility, which is truly the goal for the ultimate living space.” Drawing on her innate creativity and inner artist—discovered early on as she began sewing and learning about textures, fabric, patterns and colors at age 8—Newland landed her couture clothing line on Rodeo Drive and in nationwide boutiques at age 25 and segued her passion for creativity and style into interior design via her full-service C Newland Designs firm. “Design and art tie together,” says Newland, noting that “creating something out of nothing” sparks her passion for designing one-of-akind homes. C Newland Designs serves the Southern California area, offering a full range of services, including design consult, furniture and accessories, custom window coverings, installation and remodeling. THE PROCESS Embarking on a creative journey to design and furnish their signature space, Newland leads clients through the steps of discovering their perfect environment. “The first step is to get to know them,” she says. By “getting in tune with the client, I find out who they are and get to know their style.” “I start by giving clients choices and then, based on their likes and dislikes, I learn very quickly how they resonate with specific aspects of design. This allows them to find their truth of choice. The process of finding out how my client really wants to express themselves through their home is especially important when they themselves may not know what they want,” says Newland. Talking with clients and learning their intentions inspires Newland to “figure out the function they need and give them something special that makes them want to come home.” Striving to balance tranquility and inspiration, Newland draws on her intuition to create each client’s vision of their ultimate living space. “I am very intuitive at giving clients something to elevate them-

Music Room

We wanted to design something to bring the family together in this den, which originally had a mix of things. I figured out they actually had a passion for music— and so we moved their music equipment from the garage into this room, and to this day, the family is actually using the space and the equipment. In line with their contemporary vibe, we painted this room purple and set up a TV with video games—they love it!.

selves. I’m giving them a gift—pulling down the universal flow” to show clients “this is who you are based on what you’re showing me,” says Newland, noting the need for creating the “wow factor”—an area that really stands out. Working her magic to create “little moments” in the various rooms of their house, Newland helps clients come home to their inner selves, transforming their environment in a powerful way. “If the energy isn’t right, it can just drag you down,” says Newland. “Transformation is the biggest healing factor in anyone’s life; I like to bring that to them. Giving that transformation can really change the whole energy in where they live; the bigger the transformation, the better, as healing, tranquil and balanced living space is key to living your best life.”

Dining Room

This bright yellow hand-painted accent wall features repeating patterns throughout. We added grey and white and a splash of blue velvet to balance the room.

Malibu Coast Lifestyle | April 2021

Bathroom

In creating this blue bathroom, I started by putting a bunch of vanities in front of my client. I realized he really likes color and stark contrast. Building on his love of black, gray and blue colors and angular shapes, we installed hexagon floor tiles and diamond patterns in the shower to create linear movement. I introduced him to a blend of copper, pewter and vintage gold metallics that contrast the ceiling and tub. I was able to tie it all together for this unique bathroom experience. The bathroom features a double vanity with a luxury quartz countertop, two artisan sinks and a big stand-alone tub, all with waterfall faucets. Additionally, the walk-in glass shower with custom tile, gold hardware and an oversized rain showerhead rivals the other elements in this swanky bathroom.

Kitchen

A marbled mirrored backsplash, black and white artisan luxury quartz countertop, and hexagon marble floor with bold-colored cabinets make this a memorable Retro Hollywood Reboot kitchen.

Home Office

The green textured wallpaper really warmed this room. We chose it because we loved the color and its thin veneer, similar to a fine balsa wood that’s been die-cut and put on top of the copper paper to create that design. It’s exquisite. The client loves all the angular shapes and that fits his style.

Billiard Room

This inviting room features deep blue walls with white accents balanced by dark wood floors to complement the purple and wood pool table. The round glass lights and triangle shape mimic the billiards and triangle next to the custom purple table top.

Staircase

We stripped down the old terra cotta tile staircase and metal railing and had it painted black and white. Plum resonated as a connector color which took us into this custom hand-painted tile. Walking into that home, you see this striking staircase with teal, green, blue and plum—all the colors you are about to see in that house. It pulls everything together. The flow continues throughout the house using unique colors and textures that fit like an updated retro-contemporary puzzle. The staircase brought all the colors to one place, preparing the visitor for their experience ahead... Retro Hollywood Reboot!

The family owned business’ dedication to quality and service has fueled the company’s growth for the past 70+ years, catapulting it to become the largest dry cast concrete manufacturing capacity facility in California. Servicing, selling and distributing to contractors and dealer networks throughout Southern California, Angelus stocks a wide range of products, including the popular Paseo and Pavilion large format pavers for patio and pool decks, as well as plank-style Aqualina and Timberline pavers. Many customers find the wood plank look and the low maintenance and longevity of concrete pavers to be a winning combination. The low-maintenance, long-lasting high quality of concrete pavers make them an even more attractive hardscape enhancement. Homeowners are often surprised to learn that a properly installed concrete paver driveway can last 30 years or more and offers an additional advantage of seamless repair in case underground utilities need to be accessed. Repairing or replacing an underground sewer line or water main in many cases involves simply removing and resetting the pavers over newly compacted base and bedding sand, saving homeowners considerable time and money.

ALMOST 15 YEARS AGO, ROBIN AND I STARTED WITH A SOFA AND ENDED UP WITH A ROOM AT PAUL TRENT’S THE SOFA GUY. When we moved into our Braemar townhome in North Ranch, we were thrilled with everything about our new home with one major exception—a family room layout that made it almost impossible to place a sofa anywhere in the room. We could not comfortably entertain or watch TV on a day-to-day basis. After several false starts and complete failures, Robin discovered Paul Trent and The Sofa Guy. In no time at all, Paul designed a custom sofa that fit what was until then a dysfunctional space. As you can see from the photo, after all these years of cuddling up, “plotsing” and watching TV, it is still beautiful and looks as good as new. The quality and functionality turned a poorly designed room into a winner! Through the years Paul and his warm, highly professional team at The Sofa Guy have helped us with several projects. Most recently, Robin discovered a beautiful liquor cabinet. She realized immediately that it would enhance our living

Malibu Coast Lifestyle | April 2021

Whether it is a custom designed sofa or other furnishings from The Sofa Guy Collection or national brands like Burton James and Bradington Young; furniture, rugs, accessories and lighting from Palecek; Global Views; Arteriors; John-Richard; Made Goods; Essential for Living; Lolo; and Jaipur Rugs, plus thousands of couture fabrics from well-known lines such as Ralph Lauren, Schumacher, Kravet, Stout and Fabricut, your entire home is their palette. When you visit their 3,400-squarefoot showroom you will be greeted by friendly professional staff who will take care of your needs from a single room to your entire home. The Sofa Guy is not just a design studio and furniture store—it is what Paul calls a “fashion forward” firm that combines the two concepts. As you can tell, Robin and I have always been treated like family by this family owned business. Come by and pay a visit. You will become family as well. Visit The Sofa Guy at 2520 E.

room and give us a great place to keep our wine and liquor glassware. Well, it didn’t just enhance our living room, it completely changed it from “okay” to exceptional. The fun part is that during COVID restrictions Robin has become our family mixologist and all of her equipment has found a great home. We also have a classy place for my very special Cornet Barcelona wine goblets. Recently Paul and his team have “upped their game.” The Sofa Guy (that’s Paul) and his new TSG Interior Design team will help you turn every room into your favorite room.

“Terri collaborates with CPAs and with financial advisors who work with multigenerational family businesses, so the term I think that fits her the best is ‘trusted advisor,’ not only for the families, but for these professionals as well. They’re often looking for someone to help manage the exit planning process at a high level.” Terri assembles this whole team for her clients so they don’t have to go out and find them on their own. Because often, says Millard, the clients don’t even know where to start or whom to hire. STARTING A FAMILY BUSINESS IS OFTEN THE BEGINNING OF

You also want to have a good transactional attorney, because maybe this is a mergers and acquisitions kind of deal, and you also need an experienced accountant. Then you might have issues around ownership—what does the distribution look like? “It can be really complex and that is really the bottom line. You want to have somebody who can advise holistically and make sure there are no gaps in planning,” Millard adds. This is why, explains Millard, Terri completed the Certified Exit Planning Advisor® professional credential. Terri helps these families from beginning to end. “The Exit Planning Institute is the body that grants this certification,” he says. “Terri went through a rigorous training and has the skill set to advise a family on how to sell a business and how to assemble a team, and to also help families identify, before they get too far down the road, what their exit strategy will be.

TREND SETTER

THE MOVE TOWARD MORE SUSTAINABLE LIVING HAS GAINED TRACTION IN RECENT YEARS WITH PEOPLE LOOKING TO HELP THE ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR WALLETS. Gardening is a great hobby to support a more sustainable lifestyle. It's fun, saves money on groceries and helps you feel accomplished by eating something you grew. It also promotes healthy living, cooking at home and eating more nutritious foods. When you grow your own food at home, you also know exactly what's in it and how it was produced. Gardening can be difficult, especially outdoor gardening, because there are so many variables, such as climate changes, unpredictable weather, and wildlife or pests. Indoor gardening allows you to grow veggies year-round in the comfort of your home, with a greater likelihood of success because you control the environment. Growing plants indoors is good for your health in other ways too. Plants remove carbon dioxide from the air and generate oxygen, making the air in your home cleaner. Exposure to nature and the accomplishment you feel from successfully starting a gar-
