I don't have any specific design input, but it sounds like you need help with the vision. Check this out: https://www.amazon.com/Reimagining-California-Lawn-Water-conserving-Practices/dp/0978997123.
California Native Grassland Association had a series of workshops for people ripping out their lawns. I don't see any schedule for 2017 but are some info materials here: https://cnga.wildapricot.org/New-Front-Yard. You might look at the Sacramento or Merced brochures, a similar climate. Also have you looked for local lawn replacement resources? Look here: http://www.fresnogardening.org/. Also worth looking into turf replacement rebates if you haven't already.

https://clovisbotanicalgarden.org/the-garden/. Not sure how well this garden is maintained but it's good to see some examples for inspiration and take notes on what you like. Might be worth a visit.
I am a huge fan of working California native plants into gardens. If you're not familiar with them, I encourage you to learn about them! So many awesome plants and well suited for our climate.
