Living Room Luxury

Jump to a section

Drew and Linda have finally bought a house, and with Jonathan’s help, they’re making the renovation a family project! Their 1921 Los Angeles home has beautiful features on a lovely street, but is in need of major upgrades throughout the space. Once the crew lands on a new floor plan, it’s time to make a new, grand first impression with the entryway, living room and study at the front of the home.

Before & After

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

STAIRWAY TO HAVEN

The original staircase was beautiful, but when we attempted to save the whole thing, we discovered the spindles and treads were in really bad shape. Thankfully, the handrail was salvageable, so we kept it in one piece and reinstalled it upon these modern spindles that introduce the old Hollywood, Art Deco style that’s prevalent throughout the house.

SAVING SOMETHING IN OUR BACK POCKET (DOORS)

The original pocket doors in this house were amazing and in good shape, but after raising the ceilings, they needed to “grow” to fit! We added some height to the doors and repainted everything to make them look brand new. With the details we added throughout the home office, there’s no question these doors were the perfect tool for encouraging some peace and quiet, while still providing natural light and a welcoming feel.

CLASSIC FEEL, NEW DETAILS

The original ceiling had a plaster curve that was impossible to salvage, so Jonathan came up with a custom molding that provided a similar waterfall feel to match the home’s new style. One thing we did keep: the pentagonal opening of the original fireplace, complete with original trim peeking from the new stone façade.
