FAMILY ROOM

Interior designer Julie Maigret and her husband Rob, live in their dream house right at the foothills of Griffith Park. Fashioning a current spin on Mid Century Modern influenced design, they have created a warm and inviting space to dwell in.
Many magazine editor jobs thanks to our mutual friend Lori Fradella , who has in the past sold and helped source pieces for Julie and her clients, for connecting us for this house tour. Julie is no stranger to design and understanding spacial planning. She explains that the most essential part of designing your home is "that you create magazine editor jobs a home that truly represents you...or the person you aspire to be."
With 3,000 square feet of room to play in, you can imagine all the different ways the design of this home could have gone. Julie and Rob's main goal was to stay true to the original era and the architectural history. They brought in a handful of vintage throwbacks, balancing them with contemporary pieces from around LA. Some of the most amazing elements in the home were the artwork. "When we first moved in, we were intimidated by all the blank wall space. The artwork represents a lot of research, collaboration and compromise; and a number of paintings by Rob's dad." Noting Slim Aarons as a major dream resource, you can see how Julie wanted to preserve the Mid Century Architectural appeal of her home.
This home and its roots in old Hollywood's Los Feliz district boasts a charming spacious floor plan and lovely views of the hills. The lighting and the breezy airy feeling really lend to the calming Southern California vibe. "Los Angeles style is all about coming home to a peaceful, comfortable place that will make you forget that you have just been sitting in traffic for 2 hours."
Proudest DIY: Instead of hiring a landscape designer, I ended up designing our outdoor spaces with Annette Gutierrez from Pot-ted. I could not have wished magazine editor jobs for better results. Our succulent wall has taken on a life of its own, having been reproduced all over the country.

It's magazine editor jobs very beautiful, stylish and meticulously arranged, even though I am not a fan of those Eames chairs, for instance. It's seems that it's a must have in so many homes and at some point becomes repetitive and they look the same. I also wonder if the best way to make a space with white floors and white walls less cold is by using what dining tables and white chairs. magazine editor jobs
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all of it. well done!
This the first house tour where I've loved every picture, it's just gorgeous. And it looks lived in and liveable in too (not like a furniture museum as I'm afraid some house tours do). I'm sure so much work went into making this effortless look, but it's absolutely paid off, it's wonderful.
Oh. Emm. Gee. This home is INCREDIBLE! I'm in luuuuuuuvvvvv. That is one seriously awesome kitchen. I imagine there is some seriously awesome cooking going on in there too.

Firstly, let me confess that I visit Apartment Therapy magazine editor jobs about fifty times each day and this is the very first time I've felt compelled to comment. This home is simply flawless. magazine editor jobs The artwork is so well positioned and it is clear that the pieces were chosen with great consideration.

I'll probably view it again and again
