ROOM OF THE WEEK 6.14

Since I'm staying in LA for the week, this home seemed quite appropriate to share today... won't you come do some California dreaming with me?

Welcome to the incredible dining room that grew out of the vision of antique aficionado Richard Shapiro. He built the entire home on a plot of land that happened to have two 200-year-old cyprus trees framing that incredible view...
So, it would only make sense that it be inspired by villas in Sicily, capturing a "sweet ruined ambiance" by the sea. (Isn't that just the loveliest phrase?)
While most of the home is filled with antiques, I love this space for it's perfect blend of California living with European sensibilities. Light-filled, simple, and appreciative of that amazing view. The windows and beamed ceiling are really all the architecture you need to house such beautiful simplicity.

  1. I believe that I could live in that particular room (add some basics like kitchen and bath of course) for the rest of my life and die happy. Merci pour l'inspiration!

  6. Super loving this! The thick textural walls, the stunning windows and that glorious light. Yay for 'European sensibilities' successfully meeting new construction! Just lovely, indeed.
