Glenalbyn Drive

by Madison Modern Home
An aerie is described as “a house, fortress or the like, located high on a hill or mountain.” An art aerie would have to be a house high on a hill filled with art. That’s exactly what the house on Glenalbyn Drive in L.A.’s trendy Mt. Washington area became once we staged it.

Working with amazing canvases from local Eastside artists Carlos Nieto and Michael Rascon, we brought a Mid Century modern vibe and jolts of fresh color into this stunning architectural home with high vaulted ceilings and white gallery-ready walls.

Perched on the edge of a hill on the more rural side of Mt. Washington, the house on Glenalbyn proved the ideal venue for evocative art and modern furnishings.

The master bedroom with modern style bed and paperclip leg side tables from Modernica. Glass lamps, a jute rug, a Mexican blanket and a Navajo inspired pillow add a visual jolt in B&W but don’t distract. An African figurine stands guard on an end table. The pillow is from IKEA's new line and the blanket is vintage.

A Carlos Nieto painting of a woman with paper cranes in the master bedroom. A Mid Century modern style dresser provides an anchor point below the painting. A few blue and violet accents adorn the dresser top, with the flesh tones of the painting in the background.

The dining area, to the left of the fireplace. A large chandelier defines the space. We brought in a transitional dark wood table and acrylic TOBIAS chairs from IKEA because they virtually disappear. More original art on the walls, earthy stoneware and a trio of simple vases.

The living room features two modern lounge chairs and a matching sofa with tufting, a faux-guchi (faux Noguchi) coffee table and an arc lamp. Half of Michael Rascon’s X-ray Horse is seen on the left of the sofa… and the other half on the right.

Entry with a view toward the living room reveals a Mid Century modern aesthetic. A small bench that we painted gray to match the nearby stair rail carries bamboo bowls, baskets and books. An African elephant walking stick stands nearby. In the background, a bright orange Afghan throw.
