Founded [organically] by home enthusiasts that turned a blog into a business, and turned a few heads along the way. Destination Eichler started as a design blog for homeowners Karen Nepacena and John Shum to chronicle their journey renovating a mid-century modern Eichler home in Northern California.
Their home renovation projects and blog gained national attention and soon the couple began taking on clients who were attracted to their modern design aesthetic and focus on mid-century modern architecture. Fast-forward a few years, Destination Eichler transitioned from an online blog into a full service interior design firm helping homeowners re-imagine and transform their homes.

Our Eichler
Report
The kitchen involved the most work. From demolition and smashing tiles, to digging trenches and casting the last piece of concrete countertop, we spent 7 months on this project. The previous owner had put in a walk-in closet behind the fridge wall, so we had to take down that wall. There were two sections of floor-to-ceiling windows that were drywalled, so we had to take down those walls as well to put back in the glass.

Testimonials
Report
She saved my kitchen and laundry room remodel from several expensive-go-nowhere experiences. Within a month or so of contacting her the kitchen remodel was finally underway. I'd hired many so called professionals who kept billing me while the project never got off the ground. Quite frustrating as my kitchen had flooded and was non-functional.
