This week the Remodelista editors traveled west in search of new interior design ideas. Here are five they found in California.
Moroccan Tiles
Above: In LA’s Studio City, architect Barbara Bestor and DISC Interiors’ David John Dick and Krista Shrock renovated a 1940s ranch house for a family of four. “The bright master bathroom is punctuated with unlacquered brass (that weathers and changes over time) and blue Moroccan tile,” catching Alexa’s eye.
Above: “The LA architect credited with creating the lap pool in the early seventies, Cleo Baldon designed indoor-outdoor furniture that captured the southern California good life,” writes Margot.
Above: Sarah Kersten’s Pasta/Salad Bowl in black. The new “it” bowl? “Something low and wide; with high-enough sides to contain a lot of that rice,” writes Alexa. “A decade ago, this style of bowl was called a pasta or risotto bowl, but in 2018, they’re meant for grains, greens, and things like avocado açai topped with chia seeds and banana slices fanned out around the edge (if you don’t believe me, check Instagram).” See a roundup of her favorite hippie bowls in this week’s 10 Easy Pieces post.
“When architect Richard Clements Jr. designed Timber Cove Lodge on the coast of Sonoma County, California, in 1963, he took inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright: His hotel would be a tall A-frame, whose height would optimize ocean views, and whose materials—dark wood, stone, and glass—would make the building look at home in its surroundings,” writes Meredith. See the remodeled lodge, including several fire pits in Sixties Ocean Lodge Redux.
