In Huntington Beach, a modest 1964 home found its way into the spotlight through a remarkable transformation, merging thoughtful design with the demands of modern family life. Breanna and Aaron Davies, parents of three young daughters, had long envisioned a home that would grow with their family. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, the 1,172-square-foot house had its charms but lacked the flow and functionality they craved. Enter Christina Hall, host of HGTV’s Christina on the Coast, and Pacific Coast Builders, Inc., the team that turned the Davies’ dream into reality.
The Davies' journey began with a connection that felt serendipitous. Longtime friend Steve McKay, part of the Pacific Coast Builders team, had helped them find the home, knowing it had the bones for something extraordinary. Years later, when Breanna heard through a friend that Christina Hall was interested in local projects for her hit show, she decided to take a chance. A simple online submission led to the Davies’ story being featured on Christina on the Coast Season 6 Episode 4—streaming now on Apple TV and Max.
Transforming the Davies' home into a space worthy of its newfound spotlight was no small feat. The original floor plan, while typical of midcentury builds, felt cramped and disconnected. Pacific Coast Builders, under the design guidance of Christina Hall, envisioned something entirely different: a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living, tailored to the needs of a vibrant young family.
The renovation began with a bold structural move—a side wall bump-out to add several hundred square feet to the main living area. This change redefined the home’s layout, creating a great room where the kitchen, living, and dining spaces flow harmoniously. Wide bifold doors now open the space to the backyard, blurring the lines between interior and exterior and inviting an abundance of natural light.
For Breanna and Aaron, the kitchen was always meant to be the heart of the home. Christina’s design choices brought this vision to life with an elegant yet approachable aesthetic. Sleek porcelain slab countertops and backsplash lend a clean, modern look, while satin brass hardware adds a touch of warmth. High-end ZLINE appliances ensure the kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful—a space where family meals and celebrations come together effortlessly.
The Davies fondly recall the collaborative spirit of the project. Christina’s team worked closely with Pacific Coast Builders to ensure the design vision was perfectly executed, while the presence of HGTV cameras brought an unexpected layer of excitement. For Breanna, watching the process unfold was as rewarding as the finished product. “It was an unforgettable experience,” she says. “The crew made it so much fun for the whole family, and Christina’s design ideas really resonated with what we wanted.”
While the cameras captured the big moments, it was the small details that stole the show. The transformation brought new life to the home, from the streamlined black-trimmed windows to the carefully curated finishes that balance form and function. Friends and family have been effusive in their praise, marveling at how the space now feels both sophisticated and welcoming.
Since moving back in, the Davies have found that the renovation has done more than elevate the aesthetics of their home—it has improved their daily life. The open layout makes it easier for the family to spend time together, while the thoughtful design ensures that the space will continue to meet their needs for years to come.
“It’s amazing how much this project has changed the way we live,” Breanna says. “Pacific Coast Builders made everything feel effortless, and their professionalism and attention to detail gave us so much confidence throughout the process.”
Looking back, Breanna and Aaron see their home as more than just a place to live—it’s a reflection of their journey as a family. From the early days of imagining what could be, to the whirlwind of collaborating with Christina Hall and Pacific Coast Builders, every step has brought them closer to a space they’re proud to call their own.
For those inspired by their story, Season 6, Episode 4 of Christina on the Coast offers an inside look at this stunning transformation. Stream it now on Apple TV or Max and see how a little vision and a lot of heart turned a 1964 house into a forever home.
