L.A. French Eclectic

Posted on Wed, 6 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

Built in 1924 this Los Angeles house embodies French Eclectic style, popular post-WWI with returned soldiers. Influenced by Normandy architecture, it showcases steep roofs, casement windows, French doors and a mix of timber and stucco. Interior designs would often blend Tudor and Spanish influences. Jessica Helgerson Interior Design redesigned the kitchen and bathrooms, adding a ground-floor guest suite, refreshing and furnishing the house. New features reference the old and the rooms are an eclectic mix of furniture reflecting the family’s lifestyle.

Livable luxury in Beverly Hills

Posted on Wed, 6 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

“This classic Californian, ranch-style home harkens to the simple charm of family living. The house was remodeled in the late 2000s, however, we admired the sweeping, seasoned architecture of the original Gerard Colcord home. So, we initiated renovations to tone down the modern elements and restore the place to its natural state. The result is an open, amicable, and limitless space with potential for exploration.”

A resounding love for textiles and old school craftsmanship is evident throughout Christina‘s sophisticated yet refined spaces. Her layered mix of clean and contemporary with eclectic and antique results in projects that feel authentic, intentional and curated over time. Having lived in both New York and London, those experiences informed her bold design eye and exposed her to the world of art, fashion and European interiors. Known for her playful sensibility, the most pivotal part of Christina’s aesthetic is a fusion of elegance with livability.
Beautiful space. I am dying over that massive kitchen with the brick stove surround in the middle. WHOA.

An artistic Melbourne retreat

Posted on Mon, 4 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

Nestled in a leafy Melbourne suburb, the Auburn Residence by Fiona Lynch is a relaxed, artistic retreat. Inspired by nature’s hues, a rich palette of greens and browns gives the two-story, five-bedroom home a sense of serenity. Bespoke furnishings, textured finishes and geometric accents create an understated luxury. (Nothing understated about New York designer Karl Zahn’s 44-bulb ‘Kingdom’ chandelier though!) From vibrant artworks to tranquil bedrooms, this highly personal home provides a sanctuary for its owners and leaves a lasting impression on guests.

Rosetta, built in the 1920s, has started a new chapter in its legacy. Adhering to heritage restrictions, its latest owners harmoniously blend old and new, balancing preservation with connectivity. The interior, spacious and embracing, echoes the past while embracing a muted, welcoming ambience. Georgian influences echo in the exterior’s original pink hue and restored details, preserving its essence within the original structure. An underground addition expands family space, prioritizing flexibility and harmony with the garden. Rosetta embodies sustainability, integrating vintage pieces, natural light, and ventilation, preserving its narrative while embracing ecological consciousness.
