			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-274" title="JDR_SDCondos" src="http://www.jacksondesignandremodeling.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/JDR_SDCondos.jpg" alt="JDR_SDCondos" width="199" height="276" />When it&#8217;s time to remodel, urban luxury condo dwellers have a special set of circumstances to consider. The aspects of a city condo that make it so desirable, such as proximity to a bustling downtown environment, residence in a landmark building, or the views from living high above ground, require a remodeling company with specific expertise handling projects in an urban setting. If you are thinking about <a href="http://www.jacksondesignandremodeling.com/condo-remodeling-san-diego" target="_self">San Diego condo remodeling</a>, keep the following in mind:</p>
<p><strong>Does the interior of your condo inspire you as much as your surroundings? </strong><br />
If you have been living in your condo for several years, chances are a remodel of a kitchen or bath is in order to update your home to the way you live today. Whether you decide to remodel for functional improvements or visual enhancements, you want the design to make sense in the context of your lifestyle and your building.</p>
<p><strong>Is your personal style expressed in your space?</strong><br />
The design of condos in landmark luxury buildings is usually quite tasteful, but does the design express your personal style? Customizing your space transforms a high-end condo into a space that feels like home and makes a statement about your values and personality.</p>
<p><strong>How unique is your condo design?</strong><br />
When you choose a remodeling company for your home, you want to work with a team that has experience with projects in your building, or a comparable building in your city. At the same time, you want to arrive at a design that is truly individual. Nothing is more disappointing than investing time and money in a remodel, only to see a duplicate of your home design in another condo. Working with a remodeling company with <a href="http://www.jacksondesignandremodeling.com/designing-for-success" target="_self">professional designers</a> on staff can help you achieve a beautiful space with your personal stamp.</p>
<p><strong>Does your remodeler know how to work in a luxury building in an urban setting?</strong><br />
Special skills are required to successfully navigate the intricacies of working in downtown condo buildings. <a href="http://www.jacksondesignandremodeling.com/condo-remodeling-san-diego" target="_self">San Diego condo remodeling</a> requires a depth of knowledge about building codes, dock delivery standards and working in a busy urban setting. Special attention must be paid to the privacy and comfort level of neighbors, respect for common areas and HOA guidelines.</p>
<p>As a San Diego condo owner, you live in one of the most attractive areas in the world, with access to both the beauty of nature and the vibrancy of downtown living. When you choose a remodeling company for your project, select a team with the know how and experience to create interiors as distinctive and awe-inspiring as your views.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-119" title="JDR_Aesthetics" src="http://www.jacksondesignandremodeling.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/JDR_Aesthetics.jpg" alt="JDR_Aesthetics" width="199" height="276" />When planning your remodel, one of the first choices you will make is which design aesthetic is right for you and your lifestyle. A professional designer will guide you through this process, helping you discover how you want to live in your new space and which elements will support your vision and enhance your home. Here&#8217;s a quick review of three popular design styles. Which appeals most to you?</p>
<p><strong>Traditional:</strong> Homes with traditional design typically favor formal environments with classical structure and ornate embellishments. The color palette is subtle and muted, complemented by the use of dark woods. Elements such as substantial furniture, copper ceilings, elegant lighting fixtures and elaborate floor, wall and window treatments bring depth of character and visual richness. With traditional design, the challenge is to practice restraint so that the many aspects of a room are beautifully revealed, rather than competing against each other.</p>
<p><strong>Modern:</strong> A modern aesthetic emphasizes clean, simple lines and a careful selection of design elements. The focus is on open, uncomplicated spaces and decoration is kept to a minimum. In a modern home, balance is critical if you want to achieve a <a href="http://www.jacksondesignandremodeling.com/san-diego-modern-remodeling" target="_self">contemporary design</a> that retains warmth and comfort.</p>
<p><strong>Transitional:</strong> Transitional design embraces appealing elements of traditional and modern design to achieve an eclectic style. By simplifying traditional and softening contemporary, transitional design arrives at a very personal expression. Mix an ornate mirror or chandelier with a <a href="http://www.knoll.com/products/product.jsp?prod_id=577" target="_self">Barcelona chair</a>, or weave warm colors and drapery into an otherwise contemporary room, and you see the results of transitional design. Transitional design requires an experienced hand to avoid a disorganized appearance.</p>
<p>When choosing a design aesthetic for your home, you&#8217;ll probably be happier if you find what feels right to you rather than following recent trends. Do some research, work with a professional designer and have fun discovering the ways you can express your personal style at home!</p>
