House Love

I would love to live in this gorgeous L.A. home. It looks like one of those container homes that I love so much. At only 1500 square feet, this two story industrial chic phenomenon makes metal and wood livable.

The super functional exterior lighting also creates a warm inviting glow.


street view
The horizontal wood is perfect for the first floor since it's visually heavier than the light colored second floor. To be picky, I think the street view could use a palm tree or two in the front yard to add a little height.

The cool white interiors are clean and beautiful, but I think I would have added a little color. The low bed is perfect for the window. I think I would add a few pieces of artwork, a pair of colorful lamps for the bedside tables, and a multi-colored/patterned bedspread.

kitchen/entry
LOVE the Nelson lamps and Eames chairs in the kitchen/eating area. The grey-blue tile is a great echo of the cool color scheme throughout. I wish the gorgeous horizontal wood paneling, shown on the entryway exterior could bleed into the kitchen and warm it up a bit.


living room
I'm just as obsessed with the Cole and Sons birch tree wallpaper as everyone else. I love that this guy used it in a large area, which I don't see very often! I also love the stove.


here's the floorplan
the room labels are really hard to read, but you get the idea.
