About the project

Vintage and contemporary pieces mingle with fresh finishes in an elegant, relaxed, and eclectic abode designed for a young family of four in Los Angeles’s Mar Vista neighborhood. Interweaving subtle nods to the clients’ Vermont roots, the studio’s design direction for the project highlights the juxtaposition of raw, relaxed, and elegant materials, balancing L.A. chic with New England charm. 

Our renovation included a reinterpretation of paint and finishes throughout. Softly limewashed walls imbue subtle variations with a matte, velvety effect, laying the foundation of our redesign. We paired this with wide plank oak floors, cipollino tirreno marble countertops, a bespoke fireplace design, and a top-to-bottom kitchen overhaul. The redesign took our clients’ newly purchased home from dated and inconsistent to cohesive and refined.  

For furnishings and decorations, we chose to highlight natural materials for a thoughtful and edited curation of bespoke pieces, works of art, and vintage selections. We curated a mix of French 1970s vintage, distinguished burlwood, woven wicker, cosy prints, humble plywood, plush mohair, and timeless walnut.
