LETTER EDITOR’S
Happy Place
As we approach one year of sheltering at home, I have to ask... how are you? There may be too many novel words and phrases added into our lexicon: “You’re on mute,” “Zoom fatigue,” “quarantini”— our emotions raw from it all. So, how to calm them? For me, it started with carving out a spot in my home that would evoke an indoor garden room of sorts. I chose a large wall in my office and collaged florals and other fantastical images that bring me pleasure. Surrounded by my art and design books, fresh flowers from the market and my art easel, I created a little slice of happiness for myself. My laptop, with so many Zoom’s logged on it, is not far off. A “make it work” moment for our times.

“TECHNOLOGY SHOULD SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE, NOT COMPLICATE IT.”
Continuity of technology is a critical component of home renovations. At Modern Home Systems, a San Diego-based company specializing in home automation, designated home theaters and outdoor entertainment centers, the objective of each residential project is to find a solution that fits the homeowner’s lifestyle while incorporating as much of their existing technology as possible. “People come to us to create seamlessness among their technology,” says Otto Benson, president of Modern Home Systems. Intelligent Illumination In constant development, lighting design from a technological perspective is particularly noteworthy. “Lighting control has become a huge part of our industry,” Benson shares. “We have the capability to create scenes with your lighting, whether that be to fit your schedule or for the lights to naturally dim and brighten depending on the actual sunlight coming through the home.”

TABLE MATTERS
After several years in Rancho Santa Fe, mother-and-daughter interior design team Laura Pavlovich and Ashley Armour have set up shop in Laguna Beach. “It’s a true atelier showing the uniqueness of what we do,” says Pavlovich, pointing to a 17th-century Cypriot fireplace, 1950s Italian chairs and works by local artists. “Our top priority is one-of-a kind-pieces,” she adds. This spring, they debut their own line of exactly that with a collection that includes a library table hand-painted with 22-karat gold and Syrie Maughaminspired chairs. “Our clients are always looking for color, joy and something fresh,” she adds. And Armour couldn’t be happier about the new venture. “My mom has been designing bespoke pieces for decades, so it’s exciting to see this concept come to life!” she says. Also new this spring is their shoppable website. theresecarmel.com
Kym Gold, co-founder of True Religion denim, has turned her eye for fashion toward interiors, with a new pottery and lifestyle brand inspired by the memory of her mother’s Sunday suppers. styleunionhome.com What defined your mother’s table? Her lasagna dish, which I still have. We continue her family dinner tradition with these pieces, which I want my sons to carry on into their lives, too. Describe the ethos of the brand. Nostalgia made modern with dual functionality, like bookends that hold flowers or colanders that double as fruit bowls. What’s ahead for spring? A new studio where I can develop concepts, glazes and work with outside potters. And fresh designs. One is a piece that fell. Rather than think it was ruined, I set it on its side and now the flower goes in diagonally. It’s called the Hope vase.

JUTE INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO Santa Monica- and San Francisco-based interior design studio Jute is debuting its very first furniture line. Spearheaded by founder Alison Davin and senior designer Rebekah Fletcher, the collection includes a dining table, desk, stool, pouf, coffee table, dresser and two consoles, all of which reflect Jute’s ethos and aesthetic. “We have a ton of clients who love the look of antiques but prefer to have something new,” Davin explains. “This collection is based on pieces we’ve created in response to that, in our signature dark wood finishes.” And while she gravitates toward “streamlined designs with cool or whimsical details” that truly express the craft of woodworking, Davin also knew that the pieces needed to be “simple enough to work anywhere.” The team is so pleased with the result, additions are looking likely. jutehome.com
San Marino has welcomed Hollis, a new showroom from Mik Hollis, son of venerable Pasadena antiques dealer Susanne Hollis. Taking the reins following his mother’s retirement, Hollis is modernizing the nearly 40-year-old business with a Mission Street location that offers European and Asian antiques as well as contemporary pieces. “We’re highlighting the best of what we do, plus accessories and pillows,” says Hollis. A new warehouse is also forthcoming “for designers who want to do some deep digging,” he says. Included will be the firm’s revered crafts studios, which provide restoration services as well as custom pieces for designers such as Michael S. Smith and Ken Fulk. “Furniture is in our blood,” Hollis says. “These two spaces—retail and trade—will allow us to share our aesthetic and better serve each client.” susannehollis.com
OPEN HOUSE SHOPS + SHOWROOMS
Hollywood at Home has welcomed San Francisco designer Leah O’Connell’s new textiles to its showroom. “They’re inspired by the beautiful worn elegance of 17th- and 18th-century fabrics from France and England, rescaled and recolored for today,” says O’Connell. Thomas Hayes Studio in Hollywood is now carrying Miami interior designer Samantha Gallacher’s custom carpet line, Art & Loom, making it the first L.A. showroom to carry her artful designs. Luxury gaming table company 11 Ravens has opened at the Pacific Design Center. Its boldly contemporary designs—billiards, table tennis and air hockey among them—are entirely customizable. Office furniture company Herman Miller has launched its first-ever retail concept in Century City. The brand's task chairs and lighting are designed to be tailored with the help of an on-hand ergonomic specialist. In Orange County, painting contractor Jeremy Harnish has developed a new line of natural paints, JH Wall Paints, including a lime wash that gives the look of Venetian Plaster with a simple brush and roller application.

FROM AN ENCHANTING PERIOD LOOK TO CONTEMPORARY STYLE, CALIFORNIA DESIGN OFFERS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.
STAMPS & STAMPS: STYLE & SENSIBILITY Since 1991, Odom and Kate Stamps, founders of architecture and design firm Stamps & Stamps, have been creating traditional English-inspired homes and gardens through a sunny California lens. The first section of this book explores their Pasadena home, the converted 1904 carriage house of a Greene & Greene estate and two of its petite guesthouses, plus a handful of local projects that explore more bohemian themes. The second part is devoted to practical advice (even a few cocktail recipes), as well as Kate’s tips on upholstery, flowers and design resources. As the foreword aptly states, the couple creates homes “that prioritize the pleasures of domestic life.” rizzoliusa.com
DISC INTERIORS: PORTRAITS OF HOME Krista Schrock and David John Dick, founders of DISC Interiors, have penned their first book to mark their 10-year anniversary. The firm is known for using natural materials that develop a patina, tonal color palettes and artisanal pieces that imbue their projects with a soothing quietude. As Dick explains in the opening chapter, he and Schrock strive to “create spaces for meaningful relationships to develop, rooms for conversations with family, places to linger, kitchens that really are meant to be cooked in, family rooms that have game tables and cozy chairs and soft lighting at night to read in.” The book is a celebration of their signature style with a look at 10 projects across Los Angeles, from Rustic Canyon to Silver Lake. rizzoliusa.com

THE SPANISH STYLE HOUSE: FROM ENCHANTED ANDALUSIA TO THE CALIFORNIA DREAM Archaeologist and architectural historian Rubén G. Mendoza charts the popularity of the style from its origins in Andalusia, Spain, to its most romantic expressions in Southern California. There are early examples by George Washington Smith, historic renovations and contemporary iterations by architects Marc Appleton, Thomas Callaway and Robert Sinclair, plus Santa Barbara architect Jeff Shelton’s more whimsical interpretations. Mendoza also explores key details—tilework, ornate ceilings, wrought iron, arches and courtyard fountains—that have made the style a perennial favorite. rizzoliusa.com

GARDE, LOS ANGELES AND SUMMERLAND, CALIFORNIA
I try not to go on social media. I don’t look at Instagram unless I have to. It allows me to focus on buying what I love for the store, and that is what sets the tone at Garde. If you walked into my shop right now, I hope you’d say: ‘Oh my God, this space is so beautiful. I want to live here.’ ” Our look has been described as minimal, organic and neutral. I don’t like the word ‘eclectic,’ but you could say I’m a believer of a ‘not decorated’ look. You should choose

basics reflecting your personality, style and history; and that’s what our clients are looking for. They also want to learn something new and be inspired. My background is in fashion. I developed a minimalist aesthetic working for Calvin Klein and learned to appreciate textures and an architectural look at Giorgio Armani. After 20 years, I was eager to do something outside of the corporate world. I had always wanted a store, but I started working in interior design. While shopping for a client who wanted European decor, I discovered many things you couldn’t find here, and that’s how I decided to open a place of my own.
I want Garde to be approachable. Everything we sell has a story, and we enjoy telling that tale. A story is important, because there is so much out in the world, and many times you may purchase an item without really connecting with it or knowing what you’re buying. There’s also a whimsy and lightness about our pieces; they are often tongue in cheek, heartwarming or funny. It’s kind of like the fashion concept where you put together a Gap T-shirt and a Chanel skirt. We try to replicate that idea with furniture, presenting people with a livable, yet elegant style and a point of view that welcomes and educates.

I never imagined that any of them would join me in a business like this. Now, my son Charles co-owns this shop, and another son, Pablo, recently joined in as well. CP: We started this store on the idea that we have a distinct taste and style, and that if we could bring one-of-a-kind things forward, someone would like it. Our look is ‘lived in’—a look where you would find comfort. But it’s also bold— we are not afraid of pattern and color. CB: We are bringing pretty back. We feel like it’s OK for people to have pretty rooms; a concept that seemed to lose favor for the last 20 years but is returning. The atmosphere here is easy and Latin as well as European influenced. It’s the idea of con gusto, which means ‘with pleasure.’ It’s not uptight; we set coffee cups on furniture, and we don’t put glass tops on the furniture. We have a lot of North American, European and Latin pieces, but the way we present them is with a more American attitude. We are known for taking something that’s ordinary and tired and bringing a fresh vibe to it. We also have a lot of classically inspired pieces we’ve commissioned—it’s a fascinating mix. CP: In Mexico, we found that a lot of artists were making things with papiermâché. We decided to put our own twist on it, commissioning botanicals, fruit and even a bust of Julius Caesar using the technique. We’ve also put our own spin on classic Mexican talavera pottery. We’ve commissioned plates and bowls with updated patterns that appeal to everyone, even our youngest customers.

Mix Master
Kate Rheinstein Brodsky It’s very American not to be afraid to mix things of different periods, styles and colors. The great decorators in this country never shied away from that, they just used whatever they wanted. In this sense, we are a very American shop. We show people how to put disparate items together—it’s one of the things that makes people pay attention to us. We create vignettes that give people a context for how to do it. For example, we might put a 19th-century English serpentine server with a contemporary sofa and then hang a modern painting by Mary Nelson Sinclair above it. The mix grounds the whole thing and gives it depth. It allows us to make antiques relevant again and to show that they have a place in today’s home. I learned about retail and style from my mother, Suzanne Rheinstein. She had a store in Los Angeles for 30 years and, as a young person, I went to her shop every day after school. After my homework was done, I’d help her out, everything from arranging displays to sending out mailings. I fell in love with retail there. When I started this store, it was a straight-up antique shop with a few home accessories. But a new space gave us more room and allowed us to try new things. We are now carrying 50 percent antiques and vintage furniture and the rest is new and handcrafted furniture, art and accessories. The handmade is compelling in home design, and I’m lucky to be able to create a platform for smaller artists and brands, as well as a colorful place full of interesting objects you want to get closer to and discover.

KELLY WEARSTLER LENDS A WEST COAST PERSPECTIVE TO FARROW & BALL’S FIRST-EVER DESIGNER PALETTE.
Kelly Wearstler draws inspiration from the California landscape for her new paint collaboration with Farrow & Ball. Walls painted in Faded Terracotta (pictured) are reminiscent of a sunrise, while Citrona (above) grounds one of Wearstler’s colorful material palettes.
LUXESOURCE.COM
Terracotta tiles baking in the afternoon sun. Billows of cool Pacific fog rolling inland. An asphalt highway steaming through the desert. These and other vivid tableaus shape designer Kelly Wearstler’s latest love letter to California: a collection of eight paints for Farrow & Ball’s premier designer collaboration. Dreamy and diffuse, the palette is equal parts upbeat and restful. “I’m optimistic for the year ahead,” shares the L.A.-based designer. “I wanted to introduce colors that were fresh and lively, yet still have a calming relation to nature.” Homebound like the rest of us, she looked to her proverbial backyard for inspiration. “Every hue has an emotional touch point to the California landscape,” Wearstler explains, citing Palm, a chalky green homage to her hometown’s iconic allées, and Citrona, a lemon groveinspired “contemporary take on chartreuse.” It was this same site-specific view to design that prompted the heritage U.K. paint brand to approach Wearstler for its first-ever designer palette. “Kelly shares in our process of taking inspiration from textures and colors around her,” says Charlotte Cosby, head of creative at Farrow & Ball. “This collaboration is so exciting because it brings California’s warmth and Kelly’s signature style into homes in a relatable way through our paint.” While the Golden State served as muse, experimentation is encouraged across the continent, pond and beyond. After all, there are no color rules, if you ask Wearstler. “I always say that living without color is like living without love,” she says. “Don’t be afraid to take risks.”

Wallcovering designs, such as Form (shown), Synergy (far, right) and Taking Flight (left), illustrate Porter Teleo’s fluid, expressive approach. “We create inspiration inside our studio every day,” says Bridgett Cochran (pictured below, left, with cofounder Kelly Porter).
Has there been an upside to the challenges of the past year? KP: Change can be met with frustration and hesitation or it can be met with excitement and innovation. We put ourselves through a process of learning and looked at every section of our business. What adjustments did you make? BC: We’re doubling-down on our textile line and releasing 15 patterns, including some of our best performing wallcovering designs, such as Kintsugi, Pétales and

Form. We also pulled out of showrooms. We require a lot of one-on-one communication with designers. Removing the middle man has been rewarding and enlightening. Is there an advantage to being in Kansas City in that you’re more insulated from trends? KP: Insulation is exactly right. To create something new, you have to exclude the outer world. There is a theme of companies doing what’s trending, what sells. We never go down that path; we never play it safe. Every time we put a big piece of Japanese paper flooded with pigments on the table, the designers are so excited.
Why is supporting women integral to your brand? KP: With a majority of female employees, there is a respectful and supportive energy exchanged throughout the day. We’ve learned from covering each other on maternity leave. If life hadn’t thrown us curveballs, we wouldn’t have adapted and diversified in ways that have benefited us.
Love that! How does human touch shape your designs? BC: We mix color by hand. Our artists have the freedom to express an aesthetic. We explore, ‘How wild can this mark be? How opaque can this flower be?’ It matters, for the world and humanity, that our products are made in this way.
If Porter Teleo drapery is framing the windows at a dinner party, what should the guests notice? KP: Our patterns are never repeated. There will be highs and lows and pockets of pigment. It offers the sense of something larger, like experiencing fine art with positive and negative space.

IN HER LATEST TOME, CHARLOTTE MOSS REMINDS US THAT FLOWERS NEED NOT BE FORMAL. W R I T T E N BY S H A N N O N S H A R P E

Charlotte Moss wants you to relax and stop worrying— at least when it comes to curating florals in the home. As the celebrated tastemaker expresses in her new book, Charlotte Moss: Flowers, published by Rizzoli this April, when thinking about arrangements, it’s time to throw the rulebook out the window. “Flowers need not be formal,” says Moss. “It can be as easy as walking by the local grocer or going into your garden. Really it’s about the personal and what moves you.” Moss is, of course, known for her sophisticated interiors, but she says,

“there’s an informality to a lot of it— relaxed and comfortable, yet elegant at the same time.” And that’s exactly her approach to blooms, a passion which began as far back as she can remember. “I was drawn to them because of my maternal grandmother,” she says. “The house always smelled divine, because flowers were just part of her life. So, of course, I followed suit.” One part unconventional manual (there are no rules) and one part motivational musings of past icons (think Bunny Mellon and Pauline de Rothschild), Moss’s compilation emphasizes that composition should reflect personality and highlight the innate beauty of the blossom—no matter the type. For example, a few
“When it comes to arrangements, people freeze up and are completely stymied,” says interior designer Charlotte Moss. “Really, it’s all about creating your own style. In life, it’s most important to surround ourselves with beautiful things.”
cabbage roses tucked into a small vase on a bookshelf look just as beautiful as a large centerpiece. “I go out and poke around the garden and just pick a few flowers that somebody might not even think of,” she says. “But it’s an arrangement to me.” Above all, florals are meant to bring joy, and what sparks happiness varies from person to person. “Experiment,” Moss advises. “The greatest things come about as a result of being confident and a little fearless and saying, ‘It’s my house and I’m doing what I please.’ ”

GEORGE SAWYER LAURA PRESTON San Marcos, Texas
Artistic inclination: During my first cross-country trip in an Airstream that lasted for four years, I was looking for a small-space creative outlet. I came across modern quilters who were rooted in tradition on social media and was hooked. Name game: In John Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley, “Vacilando” meant someone who is going somewhere, but doesn’t exactly know how. Similar to my journey, not all those who wander are lost. Enduring legacy: Quilting is very much alive and well in America. It’s exciting to think my quilts might still exist in 50 years as an heirloom. vacilandoquilting.co
Woodbury, Vermont
Origins: I was raised in my father’s chair-making shop, so working with wood and using hand tools was always a part of my life. Go-to materials: Maple, ash, pine, cherry and oak— the vast majority comes from within 25 miles of our shop. Made to last: What’s important to me is how properly using these manual methods can drastically improve the durability, flexibility, comfort and life of a chair. Life lesson: My father taught me where precision matters. There are a lot of tiny details in our chairs and it’s easy to get lost in trying to make everything perfect—but he trained me to trust my eye and recognize that the subtle differences and movement in our chairs make them feel alive. sawyermade.com
CHARLOTTE TERRELL Nashville, Tennessee
Southern charm: I was drawn to and influenced by the architecture, gardens and work of highly skilled artisans in my hometown of Columbus, Mississippi, where a wealth of preCivil War homes with murals and hand-painted finishes still exist. Process: Each bespoke mural wallcovering is custom made for a project and my client. All elements of the room are considered—the palette, windows, doors, furnishings and even the desired length of the “repeat” in the landscape scene. American craftsmanship: To me, it is an expression of our time and the individual artist who contributes to the enhancement, beauty and harmony of our surroundings in limitless variations. charlotteterrell.com

At Lloyd Flanders, the tagline “Woven for Life” is more than an idea. The 100-plus-year-old creator of premier outdoor furnishings has built a legacy on giving homeowners and design pros the open-air pieces they seek, which today includes mixing and matching unique fabrics and finishes. But it has also ensured that every product embodies the driving principles of quality and sustainability. “Everything we make is crafted to be heirloom quality, made to be handed down through generations,” says Jess Flanders, who runs the company alongside Dudley Flanders and Warren Juliano. “We also use natural materials, like cellulose fiber, and can repaint to update
“Today, everyone wants a custom look. Homeowners aren’t interested in what’s available at big-box stores.”
finishes, providing more years of use. Plus, all of our teak products are certified by the FSC and made from sustainable sources.” They are indeed woven for life—for the life of a design, the life of the user, and the life of the planet.
PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: LLOYD LOOM One of Lloyd Flanders’ standout offerings, the proprietary Lloyd Loom wicker is a natural fiber wicker fabric with long-lasting, high-performance Durium polyester coating for outdoor durability and flexibility. The continuous weave avoids burrs and cracking, and increases visual appeal by eliminating visible material ends. All that, and Lloyd Loom products are available in 20 custom finishes.
CARE + KEEPING •W here it starts: “The proper upkeep of outdoor spaces begins with the selection of high-quality products,” Jess says. “Strength of craftsmanship makes all the difference. We build to withstand full exposure to sun, rain and even snow.”

Right: One might argue that the Terracotta finish and Essence lounge chair were made for each other.
•H ow to clean: Lloyd Flanders recommends the following routine to its clients: Vacuum or use a soft brush on woven material and cushions to remove organic particles and loosen surface soil, then rinse with a mild detergent and clean water.

It’s easy to understand why outdoor living spaces have become an essential part of the home. They not only extend usable square footage, but also invite one to create an open-air retreat. What isn’t so easy is the actual process of building these environments—and that’s mostly due to the intense demand on furnishings. This is where Universal Furniture comes in. “With more than 100 products to choose from in a variety of different materials and special-order cushion options from brands like Sunbrella, we provide the consumer with countless ways to make their space highly practical while meeting design goals,” says Neil MacKenzie, the company’s director

On New York’s Lake Canandaigua, Lyndsay Caleo Karol, cofounder and creative director of The Brooklyn Home Company, designed a practical pool house to accommodate her family’s easy summer lifestyle. Working alongside Bayer Landscape Architecture, a pool with a waterfall edge was also built to take advantage of the picturesque setting.

THE BROOKLYN HOME COMPANY
It’s all in the family for Lyndsay Caleo Karol, who began the successful design and development firm The Brooklyn Home Company—alongside brother Bill Caleo and artist husband Fitzhugh Karol—more than 14 years ago when they were tasked with fixing a dilapidated property with a few hundred dollars and some Home Depot tools. Fast forward to today, and many homes later, Caleo Karol knew her approach to updating her family’s idyllic retreat on New York’s Lake Canandaigua to include a new pool house would be much the same as in the beginning: honor natural materials, incorporate artisan details and look to the light. thebrooklynhomecompany.com This project was personal, right? Yes! I was lucky enough to grow up going to the Finger Lakes—one of the most beautiful areas of the country, in my opinion—but over the years, as our family grew, so did our need for space. When we tore out an old tennis court to build a pool, I knew that an accompanying structure was needed to house towels, help with outside eating and act as a crash pad for kids.
Does the kitchen get a lot of action? In the warmer months, we gather for most meals here and eat outside at the massive table under the pergola. The kitchen is where a lot of prep work and cooking happens. It has a sink, refrigerator, freezer and a lot of storage zones for snacks. I wanted the design to feel relaxed, simple and timeless with the white, bright paneling that continues throughout the pool house and natural bluestone flooring you see outside as well. It’s also important for us to add a handmade element and artist Natalie Page’s ceramic lighting hangs beautifully under the eaves.

Tell us about the pool house. When we can all be together, there can be 20 of us and everyone seems to end up in the pool, so I knew this building would be getting a lot of use! From the beginning, we understood the footprint here was pretty tight to work with and, just like in the city, we always go up. As soon as the ceiling was raised, the entire area became so much more inviting and a place you really want to hang out. Optimizing natural light with large windows and doors was also paramount.

Fancy Free OPEN-AIR DREAMSCAPES ARE THE ORDER OF THE DAY.
Over the past year, exterior living spaces have proved as essential as interior ones, offering gathering grounds, peaceful refuge and a semblance of escape. Celebrating this spirit, Luxe shares tales of garden delights across the country, beginning with landscape designer Margie Grace’s own Montecito, California Shangri-La. Here, under the canopy of an 80-year-old oak tree, Grace crafted a “room” for coffee and contemplation by placing an antique faux bois dining set under the majestic sweep of its branches. “At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, the light comes up from under those leaves and acts like a spotlight on the table,” she says. “I think to myself, ‘It’s like the wood fairies live here.’ ”
WR I T T E N AN D PR ODU CE D BY GR ACE BEULEY HUNT At her Montecito, California property, landscape designer Margie Grace looked to Japanese principles in arranging public living spaces close to the house and quieter moments—like this perch for morning coffee—on the garden’s outermost “concentric circles.” Adds Grace, “It becomes a different kind of party the further you roam.” gracedesignassociates.com

MOVEABLE FEAST CHRISTOPHER SPITZMILLER WAXES POETIC ON A PRIZED OUTDOOR STAPLE. Fifteen years ago, when I purchased my home, there was no garden to speak of. But after a decade of improvements, I find that so much of our time is spent outside. One of my workhorses is a cider pressing table that first came into my life—like many things with style and practicality—through my mother. It quickly took on a new life as a portable garden table. We’re serial hosts at Clove Brook Farm, and in fair weather, we entertain outside whenever possible. For special occasions, we’ll move the table to whichever garden room is in its prime. We’ve used it for a Fourth of July lunch in the front yard beneath the shade of a maple tree, in
LUXESOURCE.COM
the Dovecote Garden programmed as a bar for a summer cocktail party and for an evening dinner in our Sunken Garden when the Casa Blanca lilies are blooming. For that occasion, we styled the table to conjure a garden fantasy right out of John Singer Sargent’s painting, Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. The roving cider press table appears in a number of different incarnations throughout my new book, A Year At Clove Brook Farm, which I hope will inspire people to get outside and seize the abundance offered by each season. There are no rules to outdoor living: I use my best dishes, glassware and silver. (No paper
plates or napkins here!) If you don’t have a vintage table, use what option you do have dressed in an interesting cloth. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to bring precious items outside. Using beautiful things in the garden makes an already enchanting setting all the more magical. christopherspitzmiller.com
TAKING ROOT “It’s like that saying about the shoemaker who can’t make his own shoes,” says Keith Williams of creating his West Palm Beach garden. For the landscape designer, such musings might surprise, but the more paint chips in your fan deck, the harder it is to pick a color. “I sketched so many versions that finally I said, ‘Let’s just order X amount of this and this,’ and when it arrived, I pieced it all together,” he demurs. What came of this approach is a series of small, graceful compositions set against an expanse of white pea gravel. In its organic simplicity, it nods to gardens of southern France, while stars like glossy fiddle-leaf fig and monstera— meticulously arranged to balance light, scale and texture—keep the feel firmly Floridian. While in its nascency, the garden hints at lushness to come. Plumes of rosemary and sage dance in the gravel, creating a sensory experience should you brush against them, espalier jasmine pops against the home’s stucco façade and newly planted palms reach skyward. Meanwhile, native pollinators—porterweed, Buddleia, Simpson’s stopper—lure butterflies, a favorite of the daughter Williams and his wife, Nicole, adopted last spring. As the couple awaited her birth, they began to notice butterflies everywhere, and when Colette came home, butterflies followed. “I’m a huge fan of green-on-green and normally, I don’t like color,” says Williams. “But I knew these flowers would be rewarding. Every day, she makes these crazy noises because there are butterflies all around us and she loves them.” nieverawilliams.com

PARTY in the FRONT Enchanting and unexpected with an air of European chic, entry courtyards are having a moment. Here, designer Robin Rains, architect Douglas Enoch and landscape architect Anne Daigh discuss designing this Nashville jewel. Why a courtyard? DE: It’s an urban setting, so we wanted to make use of the lot. I grew up in the south, where there are many “surprise courtyards”—I love that idea of a surprise behind a gate. AD: Privacy was also very important; the clients wanted to sit outside in the mornings and have their coffee in seclusion. RR: Doug built this beautiful brick wall with an arched doorway and we commissioned a custom copper lantern to hang high above. It really beckons you in. Tell us about the design. AD: We planted two crepe myrtles, which create a pergola and make you feel like you’re in an outdoor room. Then we added structured landscape with dwarf
boxwood and billowing hydrangeas. The simplicity of the space—the way it wraps around you—is what makes it so charming. DE: Each of the four façades is symmetrical, so wherever you sit is a relaxing experience. RR: We carried the French limestone paving inside for seamless transition and chose Janus et Cie’s Amalfi iron canopy chairs, floating them in the courtyard as “sculpture furniture.”
What makes the room? DE: The pear espaliers, because they soften and echo the architectural symmetry. AD: Those pear trees create another level of rustic provenance. Plus, they actually produce beautiful green pears! RR: To me, the espaliers are another sculpture. Imagine going out into your courtyard to fetch breakfast? It feels like you’re in France. robinrains.com; enocharchitects.com; daighrick.com

But one concept has become more relevant across the board, year after year: Outdoor living is a staple of the modern-day abode. No residence is complete without space to spread out, play in the open air, dine alfresco and clink drinks poolside. Regardless of climate, innovative solutions are making this vision of time spent in the midst of nature possible, and homeowners throughout the country are embracing it.

It’s only natural (pun intended) that those who spend their days cultivating those environments would have a passion for protecting them. “We incorporate sustainable elements into all of our designs,” McCrae says. “We utilize green seams between hardscape areas to reduce runoff to our oceans. We also amend the soil to help it be its best, which in turn creates healthy plants and reduces the need for harmful fertilizers and pesticides.” The Living Gardens team also uses low-water groundcovers as opposed to invasive plants and makes selections that encourage birds and beneficial insects.

OU T D O O R L IVIN G | SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA “An outdoor kitchen by Sub-Zero and Wolf helps put more of the good life into everyday life.”
THE ART OF THE GRILL Uniform heat distribution is critical to flawless grilling, which is why Wolf outdoor grills use two types of heat, direct and radiant, to achieve the ideal temperature. Direct heat from the gas burners delivers searing temperatures and rapid preheating, while radiant heat sources distribute temperatures evenly. Plus, every outdoor gas grill is sculpted in double-wall stainless steel, precision welded, so it will not rust or hold water.
HOT TIPS • Preheat the grill • Brush or scrape the grill after it is hot • Avoid cross-contamination • Create layers of flavor using marinades and spices

Furniture by RH forms a gathering spot near an outdoor fireplace at this La Jolla home. Architect Drexel Patterson chose Fleetwood Doors & Windows sliders that disappear almost completely, allowing for a seamless transition between inside and out. Landscape architect Greg Hebert defined the spot with gravel and large-scale concrete pavers.
M
any aspire to live a minimalist existence. To pare down to just the bare essentials or, in the words of one notable proponent, what sparks joy. But living a truly minimalist lifestyle—sans the inescapable junk drawer and anything extraneous—is aspirational for most. Not so for the couple behind this custom-built La Jolla home. Splitting their time between California and Connecticut, theirs is a 360-degree embrace of minimalism, from aesthetics to possessions. The pair even wiped their proverbial slates clean to start their next chapter here, selling their former residence with all of its art and furnishings inside and arriving with little more than their clothes, some kitchenware and a sole beloved piece of art. The couple purchased this property for its commanding sight lines to the Pacific, teaming with architect Drexel Patterson to start anew. The goal was to create a calming one-story sanctuary that emphasized indoor-outdoor living. Naturally, simplicity ruled their design decisions. They chose a single floor finish, two types of wood for the millwork and a sole paint color for the entire house. “It’s very mellow,” notes general contractor Thomas Waters, who worked with his associate Seth Silano on the project. Here, even the traditional take on a front door has been rethought. Visitors are buzzed through an exterior gate and then slide open a glass panel to enter the home. Such restraint in the materials and palette led Patterson and project architect Haley Duke to exercise great care as he selected tones, finishes and textures. “When you have a space this simple, you have to ask, ‘How can I strike a balance with texture, materials and warmth?’ ” he says. For him, that meant paying strict attention to the interplay of wood, stone and stucco to make certain that the overall effect was soothing, not sleepy. Patterson’s geometric floor plan nods to the trademarks of classic Modernist architecture. It’s voluminous and open, with a clean composition that accentuates the materials used and the home’s relationship with the landscape. The
house unfolds with four sequential elements between the street and the view to the ocean: the street frontage to the entry courtyard wall; the entry courtyard to the interior pavilion; and the rear courtyard open to the long view across the golf course. “Each of these elements has a sense of scale and containment, even though that containment is complete in each space,” explains Patterson. “The mind makes up for what is not shown visually, so a suggestion is often enough.” A structural double-column timber framework defines the great room, frames the views and adds a necessary touch of texture. “This was the most minimal aspect that could be added to hold everything together in a visual, sensual way,” Patterson says. “The room would be a little duller without it. The cadence of the posts organizes the room visually and furniture-wise. The gray lines tie across the whole volume and accentuate it. I consider the posts and beams as a vital catalyst to the visual experience.” Outdoor spaces are just as thoughtfully conceived. The aforementioned entry courtyard includes a fireplace and is now a favorite cocktail spot for the owners. Off the main bedroom is a raised spa and garden, while two guest bedrooms and a study flank a private side yard. Most dramatically, though, a steel pergola extends from the main living space’s ceiling to the back patio, pointing the way to the main outdoor entertaining area. “It’s an important element, as some sort of framework was necessary to make the transition from inside gracious and natural,” says Patterson. Like the exposed beams inside, it suggests a defined space while drawing the eye up and out. Beside it, a series of drought-tolerant coastal Mediterranean plants line organically placed pavers and gravel. “The whole space has the look of a deconstructed grid,” says landscape architect Greg Hebert. The homeowners themselves outfitted the residence, consulting with designer Pamela Smith of Pamela Smith Interiors as needed. Among the highlights are a stunning use of live-edge walnut slabs for their formal dining table, breakfast bar, and bedroom headboard, plush rugs that markedly contrast the polished concrete floors, plus classic and custom furnishings. “It’s Zen, calming,” says the wife. And is it too monotone, after all? Definitely not.

I
t had me at hello,” says the owner of a Hancock Park abode, recalling the moment she first stood in its entrance. “We wanted a Mediterranean-style home, and this one felt right. I thought, ‘This is it!’ ” Soon after, she connected with architect William Hefner, whose own nearby home she had spotted in a magazine several years before. “I reached out to him to come and see the house, and then he showed us his home, too.” With that, a team took shape— Hefner bringing on general contractor Asher Alfasi, and the wife calling on interior designer Rodrigo Vargas, a friend and neighbor. “This is a pretty grand house,” says Hefner of the 1925 Spanish Colonial Revival design. “There was wonderful character—stenciled beams in the living room, the wood-paneled library—so those well-preserved existing materials informed the project.” Originally built by architect Henry F. Withey, the home was immediately recognized as a prime example of the style, even garnering the cover of a 1926 issue of an early California homes magazine. Hefner’s renovation was complete but respectful. In keeping with local ordinances, the front façade was unchanged (it simply received rosemary groundcover and a few new olive trees). Still, with greater freedom at the rear of the house, the architect made significant, yet almost imperceptible, changes. “We broke the house down in terms of access to the backyard,” Hefner explains. “People didn’t live the indoor-outdoor lifestyle back then, and there was just a funny little door to the outside. We needed to connect the home to the landscape while preserving its original character.” Working with Nathalie Aragno, a principal at his firm, Hefner designed new steel windows and doors to link the primary rooms to the loggia and converted the old kitchen and staff quarters into a new two-story wing. On the ground floor are family spaces, while upstairs is the couple’s bedroom suite and a terrace—an added benefit of the new loggia. “This was pretty smooth sailing for a historic home renovation,” observes Alfasi, who replaced all of the drywall but didn’t touch
the ceilings. “It’s a very special house, like an old Italian villa. I still think, ‘Look at that, look at what we did!’ ” he says contentedly. “It’s magnificent,” adds Vargas of the renovation, explaining that he always strives to honor the architecture as well as his clients. In this case, it was especially meaningful, as the husband and wife are friends of nearly 20 years. To create the feeling of timelessness the wife wanted, Vargas started with neutrals. “I love the restraint of working with a limited palette and expanding it with texture that mirrors the architecture,” he explains. “A lot of the house’s details stand out now. Nothing is competing.” To furnish the home, Vargas and his associates, Danielle Fox and Heather Soliday, focused on custom pieces, like the living room’s coffee table, carpet and ebonized chests of drawers. They also crafted impeccable offices for the couple. The husband’s takes on an Art Deco vibe with its Macassar ebony tub chair and tuxedo-style sofa, while the wife’s office features a desk hand-painted by Ojai-based decorative artist Jacqueline Moore. The sole piece brought from the couple’s previous residence is the Indian chest in their bedroom. “I wanted this house to be a little eclectic,” shares the wife. The neutral palette continues on the loggia, designed to be a second living and dining room. It’s also where Hefner’s talent for garden design comes into view. “The idea was to keep things simple, so it’s just roses around the fountain, wisteria on the pergola, and cypress trees in the back. It’s serene and green,” he says, noting the work of his firm’s landscape architect Dennis Hardesty. While it may have taken time for the homeowners to find their ideal abode and bring it to fruition, the wait was well worth it. Not only is it everything they hoped for in terms of square footage and outdoor space, but it is also a mere 5 blocks away from their previous residence, which meant they didn’t have to say goodbye to the neighborhood and beloved traditions like progressive dinners—and now entertaining is a breeze. “The whole process was so rewarding,” adds the wife. “It’s one thing to see the plans but another to walk in and see the spaces. It was fun! It all just came together.”
The remodel preserved original details such as the ceiling and the fireplace in the living room. There, interior designer Rodrigo Vargas mixed a pair of Maxalto sofas with twin cane-back chairs and a gilded armchair—upholstered in a material by Edelman Leather—all by Rose Tarlow Melrose House. The custom stools and chests are by Mario Grimaldi International.

ike a mysterious, simmering cauldron, there’s always something bubbling in ceramicist Raina J. Lee’s kiln. The results never fail to surprise, whether it’s foaming glazes that crackle like the surface of the moon or the swirls of dreamy pastels and nebula neons. The Los Angeles-based Lee fully embraces her craft’s alchemical elements, reimagining classical forms with otherworldly glazes. “For me, making ceramics is just a big experiment with every possible surface, technique and color,” she says. This affinity for the unusual feels natural for the longtime video game aficionado. “The intense colors and shapes are inspired by video games, science fiction books and places with extreme natural landscapes, such as Iceland, Nepal, Utah and California,” she says. When developing silhouettes, Lee sometimes looks back in history, reconceiving traditional forms from Korean moon jars to Chinese scholar’s bowls from the Song dynasty before interpreting the shapes in her own way. Then come the mad scientist glazes, which the ceramicist gleefully enjoys making herself. “I find it interesting to juxtapose these really wild colors and textures on these very classical shapes, giving them a very modern context,” she says. Layering glossy with matte and craggy finishes, she tests different applications. The best part happens when the final vessel emerges from the kiln, as “you never know exactly how the chemicals are going to interact,” notes Lee. “But that’s where the surprise is.” The time afforded Lee during Los Angeles’ pandemic lockdown has allowed her to experiment in other ways—exploring matters of scale. This includes intricate pottery for ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging. Combined with sculptural plantings, these pieces will “look like a gardenscape,” but with the miniature, lunar-like hills and craters of her signature volcanic glaze. On select occasions by appointment, locals can explore more pieces in Lee’s charming treehouse showroom. Perched in the backyard of her Mount Washington home, the whimsical gallery embodies her new life in clay. Like video games, her work has become “this place to go and have weird, interesting experiences every day.”
L.A. ceramicist Raina J. Lee displays her wares in an aerie on her property in Mount Washington (opposite). The forms she creates are often inspired by traditional shapes (below); however, the glazes she chooses are anything but—video games, science fiction and rugged natural landscapes influence her selections (left and bottom, left). Of the results, she says, “They can look far more painterly and interesting than you could ever imagine.”

J
ohn and Katie Mardikian have some serious food credentials between them. He built a career running restaurants in the Bay Area and has a beer garden in Oakland called Telegraph, and she ran (and was the pastry chef for) a wedding cake and dessert catering company. So, it’s no surprise that the kitchen in what would become their Rancho Santa Fe vacation house got some intense scrutiny when they first toured it. “When Katie and I have a dinner party, we cook,” says John. “We wanted a space that worked for that.” The just-built home offered a setting for convivial gatherings and room for their twins and two dogs to roam. Illuminated by large sliders and clerestory windows, the public spaces opened onto courtyards and a backyard with a pool. But despite their unobstructed views of the canyon, the high-ceilinged rooms needed some warmth and personality. “The house connects so well to the outdoors,” Katie explains, “but with all that indoor-outdoor living, we were aching for more coziness.” To pull the spaces together, Katie and John called on interior designers Deborah Costa and Kristine Renee, who’d worked on their 1930s Tudor-style residence in Sacramento. Sizing up the new home’s layout, the mother-daughter duo saw an opportunity to inject it with muchneeded character while putting a fresh spin on the couple’s existing furnishings. “The layout was great,” Renee explains. “But the interior was cold, and there was no variation in color. Katie and John are young and hip and like to travel, so bringing in materials that add texture and reflect their lifestyle was key.” Since there were no walls to move, the interior designers focused on creating flexible furniture arrangements that would suit large parties and quiet family evenings. They took inspiration from boutique hotel lobbies and created lowslung furniture groups in the living room and an adjacent indoor-outdoor California room that bring intimacy to the airy spaces. “The idea was to position the furniture to take advantage of the open floor plan and make the space work for the way
they live,” says Costa. “People can congregate and turn their chairs around and have a conversation.” And while the cabinetry and bleached-oak floors were left unchanged, the designers replaced the existing contemporary chrome hardware with more earthy and organic materials. Similarly, they swapped can lights out for semi-flush and pendant lighting that combine bronze and other metals. For Renee and Costa, it was all about bringing interest to a home that Renee calls “a very clean slate.” Throughout, the furnishings and artworks feel as if they were collected over time. Rugs the couple brought back from their honeymoon in India sit comfortably alongside antiques from John’s family, as well as new pieces that read vintage, like the wood-and-leather bench that accompanies their modern dining table. “Choosing surface materials that are easy to clean and durable was really important,” emphasizes Renee. “But Katie and John still wanted that cool factor and an easybreezy lifestyle.” The solution was stain-resistant, kid-friendly fabrics that can stand up to heavy use. And rather than a traditional coffee table, the designers brought in an oversize ottoman that they upholstered in a flat-weave rug. Echoing the colors seen in the distant hills, the palette for fabrics, upholstery and rugs combines cognac and taupe hues with blue-grays and greens. But there’s still room for the largepatterned chinoiserie Schumacher wallpaper covering a wall of the kids’ bedroom. “They’ve named the people in the wallpaper,” says Katie. “They’re their little friends.” Then there’s the kitchen. “Being able to cook and host friends at the same time is really nice,” says John. “Our previous home had more of a galley-style kitchen.” Another bonus is the pantry, which holds storage and a second refrigerator and dishwasher. Says Katie, “We can keep the mess back there. It takes the pressure off having an open-plan kitchen.” One feature the couple hasn’t used yet is the window that opens from the bar to the front courtyard. “When we bought the house, I said, ‘We can pass out Champagne to our guests as they come in,’ ” says Katie with a laugh. “We haven’t done it yet, but I can see it happening one day.”
