As you know, we had a little get-away in Historic State Park and China Down yesterday. We actually also had a quick drive-through in DTLA at the end of the day. After all, it has been more than three months we haven’t been there thanks to the pandemic lock-down. Here is a quick video we put together.

When we read an email about a beautifully designed beach house in SoCal this morning, we feel impressed and delighted. It’s a Spanish colonial revival and redesigned by famed interior designer Barclay Butera. The design work is published at Traditional Home Spring Issue 2020.
Barclay used his signature blue and white color schemes at the foyer and private spaces of the home. Also, he repeated symmetry and balance through the whole house to create formality. Interesting enough, this is actually a second home near the water. But unlike conventional breezy and lay-back So-Cal beach houses, this house is the love for classical design.
We love the dark geometric-patterned wood floor at the foyer. A group of blue-and-white chinoisorie ginger jars and vases on a traditional center table set the tone for the whole house.

We came across an article on Architect Digest this morning talking about the renovation of a prewar apartment channeling old-School New York. We fell in love with this newly remodeled NYE home immediately thanks to its muted pearl-on-pearl color palette. This soothing off white color palette with subtle shimming pearl undertone creates a very calming and elegant atmosphere through the house. Because the home owner and design team have kept some of its classical bone, we are please to see eye-pleasing classical design details at the mantle, bathroom and kitchen …etc. So, today, we are going to use this NYE pre-war apartment makeover as a before-and-after case study to share our take-aways on small-space makeover.
1. Choose a warm light neutral color palette.
The colorful books on the white bookcase, the dark brown and black on the dining furniture and light fixture anchor and elevate the space.
2. Dining and Living Area.
Before:
Before: dining room and living room are 2 separate small rooms without smooth flow.
After:
The design team combined the dining and living rooms to form one larger space.
This is a small apartment about 1,200-square-foot s featured a restrictive layout, and lacked the unique character. So the design team decided to focused on simplifying the home’s layout by combining the dining and living rooms to form one larger space. Additionally, three elegant archways were installed to encourage a sense of symmetry. And you can see one of the archways from the above picture. The pearl-on-pearl color palette here reflects the classic vibe of the apartment and also serves as a perfect backdrop for modern furniture and furnishings. We love several textures inter-playing at this space—elegant marble, wool area rug , soft linen fabric on the sofa, wood frames on the furniture and polished chrome metal legs of the marble dining table. The oversized black artwork anchors and elevates the space while an one-of-the-kind mid-century modern chandelier over the dining table is a huge wow factor.

2. Kitchen
Before:
A tiring and dated small kitchen
After:
An custom Moroccan Tadelakt plaster backsplash adds a touch of old-world charm to this newly modernized light-filled space.
Storage was shifted to one side of the kitchen so the other side could remain airy.
You can tell that the old kitchen was tired and dark. So one of the successful strategies to renovate a small and dark kitchen to make it bigger and brighter is to streamline the layout first. We have done that many times. The design team for this NYE project got rid of wall cabinets on the stove side which really helps open the kitchen and keep the storage on another side with adding tall cabinets. We love the old-world charm Tadelakt plaster on the stove side. And the French vintage range adds a dose of glamor to the kitchen. in order to enlarge the kitchen visually, lighter wide oak planks replaced original narrow busy wood flooring. So our suggestion here is L: don’t be afraid to use large wood planks or large-format tiles in a small space. They actually dramatically make the space looks a lot of bigger and UN-fussy.

3. Bathroom
Before:
a cramped bathroom with a French classical bone.
After:
The issue for the old bathroom is that the space is a little bit cramped. In order to guarantee the comfy of usinh this bathroom, the best strategy in this kind of situation is propally to re-figure the layout if the budget is allowed. The design team created a wet zone with separated shower and tub. Then, we feel this bathroom is a breathable space. We love the idea of changing black frames of the window to white. The white window frames together with newly added white-framed panels open and light up the upper space of the bathroom while the black hexagon mosaic tiles anchor this space.

4. Fireplace.
We don’t have the before photo for the fireplace. But we really love how the design team did this fireplace—the beautiful Calacatta marble on the surrounding of the fireplace, a muted color palette, and a custom artwork that actually hides away a TV. We are usually not a big fan of any cabinet or panels that are designed to hide away a TV. But this project is different. The artwork quietly seamlessly blends in the wall. It is so minimal and sleek. You couldn’t tell it actually hide away a TV if you are not told so.
