A special message from the 2014 Costa Mesa Home
for the Holidays Home Tour Chair:
W
e are thrilled to bring a new tradition to Costa Mesa with this first ever Costa Mesa Home
for the Holidays Home Tour. Our neighboring schools in Newport Beach and Corona
del Mar have been hosting home tours as an annual
fundraiser for Newport Harbor High School & Corona del
Mar for more than three decades. It’s through the generosity of their organizing committees and leaders that we
were able to collaborate to bring this time honored event
to Costa Mesa. We are excited to showcase five unique
Costa Mesa homes from all parts of the city, along with
the Mesa Water “Water Wise Wonderland” garden project.
The five homes represent the eclectic nature of Costa
Mesa and its variety of neighborhoods and homes. We
hope that in the years to follow that this event continues
to showcase all of the great neighborhoods in Costa Mesa
while raising money for the Arts & Science Academies:
ACE & DELTA at Costa Mesa Middle and High School.
“We are equally grateful to the
generosity of our title business
sponsors Jay & John Kelly Real
Estate, GreenLeaf Gourmet
ChopShop and SOCO Collection.”
We, on the Home Tour Committee, are extremely
grateful to the homeowners who open their homes
to us. It’s wonderful to have two CMHS Zone families
participating. None of these business owners have
children in our local schools, but they care about
and love Costa Mesa. They gave more than just
financial resources, they contributed countless hours
assisting the homeowners to prepare, working with
the designers, attending meetings, marketing and
promoting our first event. We truly appreciate them
and encourage you to support their businesses.
Please enjoy the entire day with us. Visit each and
every home and the Garden tour, enjoy a delicious
lunch at SOCO provided by GreenLeaf Gourmet
ChopShop, be entertained by our CMHS Madrigals
4 costamesahometour.com
and Jazz band, peruse the student art gallery and
shop in our holiday boutique. Then after it’s all
finished… please join us for the after party sponsored
by Gatehouse. We will be celebrating the success of
our first home tour, our community’s support for the
arts and sciences at CMHS, and the start of the holiday
season.
Thank you for sharing this day with us and helping us to
make Costa Mesa Middle and High Schools one of the
best schools in California.
Katrina Anne Foley
CMHS Foundation President
PRINCIPAL’S MESAGE
T
hank you for joining us today and supporting
the Costa Mesa High School Home for the
Holidays tour. Today’s event symbolizes a
meaningful relationship between CMHS,
CMHS Foundation, community members, parents,
civic organizations and businesses as we work
together to enhance educational opportunities for
the students of CMHS. Your support symbolizes
an investment not only in our students and their
education, but in the very fabric and future of Costa
Mesa. Excellent education is correlated with better
lifetime health, higher income, lower crime, and a
stronger overall community.
Thank you for your continued support and the
additional opportunities you provide for the students
of CMHS. Enjoy the CMHS Home for the Holiday tour
and I look forward to seeing you at our school and
future CMHS foundation events.

Home Style:
These beautiful new homes feature a “modern traditional”
lifestyle that is at the same time both sophisticated
and casual. The architecture has a decidedly “modern
farmhouse” look that is typically found only in exclusive
custom home developments. The spacious floor plans have
been created to provide the best in Southern California
coastal indoor-outdoor living with spacious great room and
kitchen with 12 foot wall of glass that opens to your own
private outdoor retreat.
A must-have for the home:
The homes at Collective include 3 bedrooms and 2 and 1/2
baths. The master retreat is a must see with it’s spacious
vaulted ceilings, separate sitting room/office and spa shower
with floating tub.
A Few of Our Favorite Materials in the Home:
The home includes classic board and batten siding. This
sustainable home also has recycled content materials in
carpets, tiles and concrete formulations, low VOC paints
and finishes throughout. An Electric Charging Station
and is preconfigured for solar energy system: SunPower
photovoltaic roofing system and solar panels.
The interior design for the Collective model home was
created in partnership with West Elm and their South Coast

Solar Company: Solar City --Linda Tolman
Skate Ramp Builder: 1/2 pipe - Jeff Westermann, Street Course Matt at 2x4 miniramps
Home Tour Day Designer: Molly Wood Garden Design
Special points of interest:
From the two turntables and the custom-made “records”
drawer in the front room to the drum set and guitar wall
in the kids’ room and playroom, music is a central theme
in our Westside home. Music is what we can turn to in all
moods and it’s not very often that we are living in just a
silent home.
Origins/Renovations & Remodels:
We loved the layout of our ranch style Westside
Costa Mesa home and the style that runs through the
neighborhood, but we reached a point where we were
longing for a bit more space. We took advantage of the
large front lawn and, inspired by the Eichler homes in
Orange, CA, used the space and added onto the home
while maintaining the look and feel of the original home
and layout. The laundry room and master bed/bath that
come out towards the street were added on in 2007, thus
creating what we now call the “compound” and a home
where you can see inside and out, and into other parts of the
home from most all points.
Home Style:
Outside, we refer to our house as Contemporary Costa Mesa/
California Ranch Style, while the inside is modernly eclectic.
Inspired by music, art, travel, action sports, sustainability,
and modern design, the home has reference to many an
aspect of each of our lives.
A must-have for the home:
The kitchen. So much of our life revolves around the food in
our lives and our kitchen. The newest addition to our home,
it’s a central meeting place for friends, a place for breakfast
and homework, a place for family happy hour, and a place for
homemade meals and exploring new flavors all year long.
A Few of Our Favorite Materials in the Home:
We love the concrete throughout the compound, the bamboo
floors, our custom TV/Record cabinet and kitchen and, of
course our repurposed skate tile backsplash in the kitchen.
A Few of Our Favorite Unusual Things:
While they may not be unusual, you won’t find them in
all homes: A solar array on the roof, composting and
vermiposting in the backyard, a small skate street course in
the backyard, an outdoor fireplace in the courtyard, and a wall
in the kitchen made of previously used (one of them by our
son) skate decks.
Favorite spot at home on the weekend:
Even though the master bedroom on Sundays, watching
Sunday Morning the news show, or lounging on the chaise
lounge on a mid-summer afternoon are close contenders, we
all think that the opportunity to eat together in front of the
outdoor fireplace in our front courtyard, with the music on, is
quite special. We’ve had many an amazing evening with just
family, and with many friends there.
Favorite Home for the Holidays Tradition:
Finding the perfect “Charlie Brown Christmas tree” and
decorating it as a family with celebratory hot cocoa and
obligatory Christmas music!

Florals: Table2Garden
12 costamesahometour.com
Special points of interest:
This Costa Mesa family has a long history of Costa Mesa and
Mustang Pride. The Rice family has lived in Costa Mesa since 1958.
Their family members have attended every elementary school in
the zone as well as Costa Mesa High School. They are also a family
of educators. Rob Rice’s father was the Principal at Rea School
when it was a junior high school, and Bryan is a history teacher and
former CMHS Basketball coach. Their youngest granddaughter is
active in Middle school ASB, a cheerleader, water polo player, and
DELTA Science Academy student. They bleed green.
Our College Park home addition was built with a growing family
in mind. We now have 10 grandchildren, so we needed both the
indoor and outdoor space to contain all of the energy.
When we were completing the addition, we had not even ordered
the bathroom fixtures when the fireplace, BBQ and outside
stovetop were delivered. My husband believed they would be
“value engineered” out of the addition, so he made sure they were
on hand very early! The china painting in the family room cabinet
and the lamp in the living room were painted by my Grandmother.
Origins, Renovations/Remodels:
A Few of Our Favorite Unusual Things:
Our home was built in 1958 and had little renovation work until
early in 2001. We started with the kitchen remodel and then just
a couple of years later we pushed out the walls to create a bigger
living space and the outdoor room. This meant tearing off the
entire back of the house and raising the height of the roof. We lived
in the house during the remodel. It was quite an adventure. We
did all of the finish work ourselves, with a lot of help from friends
and family. The result is a space big enough for many to enjoy.
Our master bathroom was very, very tiny in our original home.
With the addition, we were able to add double sinks, a large
shower and our fantastic soaking tub. The outdoor fireplace that
we installed is awesome. We spend many hours enjoying time
outside, whether it is just the two of us, or we are entertaining a
large group. We love the winding path that our son designed in the
backyard. It is unusual and it provides some whimsy that blends
well with the structure of the stone.
Home Style:
Favorite spot at home on the weekend:
Giving our “style” a name is one of the hardest things for us. We
have used ideas from the past and the present. We both love
traditional homes, but we wanted ours to be welcoming and fun.
A must-have for the home:
The one thing that we had to have was the outdoor living space.
With our large family, we needed as much room as possible, and
being able to be outside at any time of the year is a real blessing.
A Few of Our Favorite Materials in the Home:
One of our favorites is the wood floors. They keep our home light
and airy, and they really hide the wear and tear.
As you can see from some of the other answers, our favorite place
is the outdoor room. We enjoy sitting outside at any time of the
year, especially in fall and winter when we can get full use of the
fireplace. It is a wonderful place to relax with a glass of wine and
reflect on the great place we get to live.
Favorite Home for the Holidays Tradition:
My favorite Christmas tradition happens when all of our children
and grandchildren are gathered here on Christmas morning. The
kids squeal with delight when they arrive, ready to share what
Santa brought and thrilled to be together to celebrate and eat our
traditional pre-breakfast favorite - Monkey Bread.

This mid-century Mesa Verde golf course view home
has been upgraded and remodeled into a modern
style with clean simplicity.
14 costamesahometour.com
Origins/Renovations & Remodels:
Our Mesa Verde home was remodeled in 2012. The entire back of the house was torn
down to the foundation and rebuilt. The 3 children’s rooms were left alone except for
we added 1 bathroom. Home Style:
Mid Century Modern. We love the clean simple lines of modern homes. A must-have for the home:
We had to have an open great room with indoor-outdoor feel. We wanted a room that
we could have a lot of people in and not have it feel cramped and at the same time
flow to the outdoors where our SOCAL weather could be enjoyed.
A Few of Our Favorite Materials in the Home:
Cement, metal and Cesar stone. We love our cement floors and our metal fleetwood
windows and doors.
A Few of Our Favorite Unusual Things:
There are ZERO appliances or video components visible, as everything is hidden to
keep the clean look.
Favorite spot at home on the weekend:
On the golf course during the day and in our spa at night.
Favorite Home for the Holidays Tradition:
Having the entire family over for Thanksgiving!

16 costamesahometour.com
Special points of interest:
The solar attic fans and hidden surround sound are special features
we enjoy.
Origins/Renovations & Remodels:
Our Mesa Woods home was originally built in 1966. As our family
grew, as well as our desire to remain in our home, our need to add
shared living space and a larger, more efficient kitchen became apparent. We added 950 square feet comprised of a “great room”...open
layout kitchen/family room and a laundry/mud room.
Home Style:
The outside of our home is California Coastal with its wood siding,
pillar construction, and front porch. We also have a wrap-around
covered porch in the backyard.
The inside is more eclectic with a mix of mid-century modern, French
provincial, and California easy-living. Our style has evolved over the
years and our house reflects the many phases we have gone through.
A must-have for the home:
Definitely moving the washer/dryer from the garage to inside the
house. We now have a large laundry/mud room that lessens the pain
of doing laundry!
A Few of Our Favorite Materials in the Home:
We love natural stone and used it throughout the house - marble
backsplash in the kitchen, marble shower floor, granite countertops.
Our hardwood floors are distressed which help to mask the wear and
tear from our family of 6. We used wallpaper in the guest bath to add
some whimsy. Our furniture is a mix of leather, fabric, and different
woods from teak to walnut to rosewood.
A Few of Our Favorite Unusual Things:
All exterior walls are 2” X 6” (most homes are 2” X 4”) and insulated
so the house is very environmentally sound. We have used mostly LED lamps throughout the bedrooms and hallways. All exterior
security motion lights are LED. The 2 attic fans are solar. Our dining
room chandelier came out of an old Albertsons grocery store remodel
my company did and we kept it in our garage for over 5 years waiting
to find a great spot for it.
Favorite spot at home on the weekend:
We love our oversized leather couch in our family room because our
whole family can snuggle on it and watch TV!

CMMS/HS ACE
The Academy of Creative Expression -
Academic Success through Interdisciplinary
Learning
To inspire greater levels of academic success, the
Academy of Creative Expression (ACE) will link
student interest and talents in the Arts to all aspects
of the educational experience. By utilizing their
strengths in the Arts, teachers guide students to
higher levels of achievement in all subject areas
by linking the Arts with English, Math, Science and
History for an enriched academic experience.
ACE students participate in arts course work
through an extended day schedule. This schedule
permits students to cross idioms (e.g. participation
in theatre and dance or orchestra, choir, and band
simultaneously is possible). Studying the arts
prepares students considerably for the workplace.
According to Americans for the Arts, “U.S. employers
rate creativity and innovation among the top five
skills that will increase in importance in the next five
years, and rank it among the top challenges facing
CEOs.” ACE will provide students with the essential
skills in the performing arts that will benefit them as
they prepare for college/career.
ACE Prep
Sonora Arts Academy of Creative Expression
(SAACE)
Sonora Elementary school will prepare students
to matriculate to ACE at the middle school and is
ready to launch the Sonora Arts Academy of Creative
Expression (SAACE) (ACE Prep) in the 2014-15 school
years.
SAACE will operate as a “school within a school”.
Students interested in expanding their abilities in
Performing and/or Fine/Visual arts will apply for
their choice of conservatories: Theater Performance,
Choreographic Dance, Visual Arts Emphasis,
Technical Theater, Instrumental Music: Beginning,
Intermediate, Advanced Band, Hand bells and/or
Strings.
38 costamesahometour.com
Sonora’s History: Segerstrom Center Partnership
Over the past 9 years, Sonora has established itself
as an “arts centered school community”. Sonora
teachers have been professionally trained by Master
Teaching Artists from the SCA (Segerstrom Center
for the Arts) and Arts Advantage. Both teachertraining programs involve strategic integration of
the arts with academics, which aligns to the STEAM
model at CMMS and CMHS. Sonora is also the only
school within the Costa Mesa Zone to add a kiln for
ceramics instruction. Every grade has participated
in the use of ceramics as an art medium. Currently,
Sonora relies on parent and community volunteers to
sustain its unique arts focus.
ACE Prep
Paularino Elementary—Digital Arts
In addition to offering a solid academic curriculum,
Paularino will offer after and during school digital
arts instruction to prepare students for matriculation
to the CMHS digital arts pathway in ACE. Digital arts
is the emerging field where technology can be used
to create art (web design, z z video production) using
ipads, computers, and photography.
Apply Spring 2015
Offering an elementary to high school arts and music
program is unique in Orange County. Costa Mesa
aspires to compete with established performing arts
schools as we embrace our city’s motto—City of the
Arts. Applications and auditions occur in Spring 2015
for 7-9th graders into the inaugural ACE class to
begin in Fall 2015. Check www.cmhs.nmusd.us/ and
