For this catalog, bringing our furniture and accents to life meant taking them offsite and inside some of SoCal’s most breathtaking estates. Part of our adventure was spent in the gorgeous and historic neighborhood of Hancock Park, where architecturally rich residences abound. Jeff captures the LA enclave’s old world glamour by outfitting this interior with mirrored pieces, bold motifs and seats modeled after European antiques.

I built this on my property for my aging father who has some health issues. Handicap accessibility was a factor in design. His dream has always been to try retire to a cabin in the woods. This is what he got. It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a great room. It is 600 sqft of AC space. The footprint is 40' x 26' overall. The site was the former home of our pig pen. I only had to take 1 tree to make this work and I planted 3 in its place. The axis is set from root ball to root ball. The rear center is aligned with mean sunset and is visible across a wetland. The goal was to make the home feel like it was floating in the palms. The geometry had to simple and I didn't want it feeling heavy on the land so I cantilevered the structure beyond exposed foundation walls. My barn is nearby and it features old 1950's "S" corrugated metal panel walls. I used the same panel profile for my siding. I ran it vertical to match the barn, but also to balance the length of the structure and stretch the high point into the canopy, visually. The wood is all Southern Yellow Pine. This material came from clearing at the Babcock Ranch Development site. I ran it through the structure, end to end and horizontally, to create a seamless feel and to stretch the space. It worked. It feels MUCH bigger than it is. I milled the material to specific sizes in specific areas to create precise alignments. Floor starters align with base. Wall tops adjoin ceiling starters to create the illusion of a seamless board. All light fixtures, HVAC supports, cabinets, switches, outlets, are set specifically to wood joints. The front and rear porch wood has three different milling profiles so the hypotenuse on the ceilings, align with the walls, and yield an aligned deck board below. Yes, I over did it. It is spectacular in its detailing. That's the benefit of small spaces. Concrete counters and IKEA cabinets round out the conversation. For those who cannot live tiny, I offer the Tiny-ish House.

The client wanted to have a space where she could relax and read from her personal collection of favorite books. By utilizing some existing furniture and adding a few key pieces, we created a space that is ideal for conversation and quiet, whichever suits the mood. The client travels all over the world, so I wanted to feature some great pieces she has collected along the way. See if you can spot some of the unique decor in the home library!

Comfort, style and quality—all three are brought to the forefront by the Claudella sofa. This piece takes classic elements like bun feet and pleated arms and adds chic, on-trend accent pillows to create a blended look. Neutral upholstery works with any design scheme. Plus, the seat back and cushions can be flipped, so this sofa will keep looking like new. Project by thechroniclesofhome.com.

The homeowners recently moved from California and wanted a “modern farmhouse” with lots of metal and aged wood that was timeless, casual and comfortable to match their down-to-Earth, fun-loving personalities. They wanted to enjoy this home themselves and also successfully entertain other business executives on a larger scale. We added furnishings, rugs, lighting and accessories to complete the foyer, living room, family room and a few small updates to the dining room of this new-to-them home.
