Orchid bathroom, reversibly remuddled kitchen

8 years ago

All of the bathrooms shown are of this caliber and style.

They topped the older cabinets with an unfortunate granite but I think you could undo that

    Wow. What's the last picture, and do you have a pic of the room showing beyond that?

    I like the bathroom . . .

    Wow, I love the bathroom and the butler's pantry. Is this in Philly?

  • 8 years ago

    No this is Los Angeles. Hudson St or Av.

    Thanks. Interesting that orchid bathrooms like that which have have survived always seem to be in CA.

    ETA I thought I'd seen that bathroom before, but I remembered the pink one with the oeil de boeuf more. All the baths in that house are great.

    I love those 1930's bathrooms! My favorite is the teal with the wave tile. The tile work around the ceiling in the kitchen is great. Such a disconnect with the granite. It looks like wood counters in the butlers pantry. Do you think the whole kitchen originally had wood counters?

    I know Hudson St in Los Angeles! It's in the Hancock Park/Windsor Sq area and has gorgeous huge old houses! What an unholy mess someone has made of what I bet is a gorgeous house.

    Are they having an open house? I'll go take a look for all of you!

    I would never buy a house of that vintage because I would want to knock the whole thing down.

    I can't believe they have open houses for $7.6mm homes! Wow. (Where I live its appt. only above about $2.5mm.)

    Chispa - I'd love to see more photos posted here, if you do go!

    Here is the listing. You can have the home for 7.6million. And, big bonus, you will be right down the street from Trader Joe’s.

    Can you imagine how much it will cost to furnish the house? 1930’s L.A. I wonder if Carole Lombard and Clark Gable had dinner there.

    I love the pink bathroom (except for the sink).

    And this wallpaper.

  • 8 years ago

    The sink and vanity in the pink bathroom have to be a later addition.

    Those bathrooms are incredible. Great house.

    I like the chinoiserie wallpaper, too, but I don't understand the room at all.

  • 8 years ago

    I believe it's a small service bar.

  • 8 years ago

    Yeah, I thought of that, but it just doesn't look like there is room for the wall cabinet doors to open.

    I see now that these are the original bathrooms in this grand old Hancock Park house. I used to drive carpool right past it many years ago!!! Still don't like many of those - don't know what I would do if it were mine - it's just all way too much color/Hollywood glamour for my taste. I could live with some of them, but that first one with the lavender fixtures would be a bit much for me.

    If the buyer feels as I do, then they should sell the bathroom tiles/fixtures to someone who is into this retro look, not just put it in a dumpster.

    I have a feeling that this house was lived in for many, many years by the same family, thus it's in-tact condition. Looked at a couple of videos and some of the bathrooms are not quite as garish in them as the pictures, but that one with the lavender pictures truly does take the cake!

    Houses in Hancock Park can be very large, but this is one of the largest. I lived just a few blocks from this house (we rented a house for 2 1/2 years that was nowhere near this big!!!). It's near the Wiltshire CC, which is a lovely oasis in this part of LA.

    I rather hate to think what will be done to this grand old lady when she's sold. I have a feeling it will end up with a "rock star" vibe, instead of Old Hollywood, and will end up being gutted.

    Would it be a crime to paint the kitchen cabinets? The cabinet structure looks beautiful but I just cannot enjoy that color. The bathrooms are really incredible.

    As a local historical society says, paint is just a protective coating and they don't sweat over what color people choose. If the cabinets had always had a wood finish it might be a different story, but paint is paint.

    ETA But I'd keep that weird tile ceiling, which does kind of limit your color options.

    I am not keen on the cabinet color either; it looks better with the granite covered:
