The remodel of a California Mid-Century home by Studio Meghan Eisenberg, originally designed and built by Meghan’s grandfather, Donald Park, in 1950, pays homage to its architectural heritage. Inspired by the original design details, the finish palette was playfully updated to revive the home with a warm sensibility. For furnishings, 60’s Ranch House decor was referenced, introducing traditional fabrics and classical silhouettes into the post and beam setting.

“These D.C.-area transplants from Brooklyn wanted to take the model-home vibe out of their spacious new abode. Custom and vintage furniture, tons of texture, and well-placed color help achieve that goal. The homeowners also wanted the home to reflect their world travels, which has been expressed throughout with globally sourced pieces and earthy, natural materials.”

Cristina Espejo and Marta Goyanes of Espejo & Goyanes create beautiful and functional spaces. This Madrid house is a case in point. The light-filled double-height living room is sophisticated yet welcoming while the kitchen with its minimalist lines is warmed by ample flowing curtains and an upholstered dining banquette. Perhaps my favourite room (or rooms) is the connecting area between the main bedroom, dressing room and bathroom another fine example of ample curtains and minimalist space.
