When a designer is willing to concern themselves wholeheartedly with the details, no matter how simplistic or ornate, I am going to pay close attention. I came across the 1920’s Palos Verdes, California Spanish cottage of designer Mandy Graham and quickly became an admirer of her work. The arched doorways throughout and the kitchen are blowing my mind. The diversity of her projects share a design philosophy that defines a cohesive balance of texture, light and form. The use of such restraint communicates an aesthetic that is both timeless and sophisticated. Respect.
