Laguna Contemporary House Tour by Paul McClean

We were recently invited to a private party to take a home tour at one of Paul McClean’s latest contemporary projects at Laguna Beach. It was a beautiful sunny day in the valley and by the beach, there was a little bit marine layers, wrapping the whole beach town in a romantic sheer. And you can see in the following video, the neighborhood is kind of lay-back cottage beach house style which really makes Paul McClean designed home stand out. Ireland-born architect Paul McClean has become somewhat synonymous with the high-end housing boom in Los Angeles. He designed homes for celebrities and high-net-worth buyers that include Calvin Klein, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, and the Winklevoss twins — famous for suing Mark Zuckerberg. He likes to play light, air and water for his projects to create very Zen-like atmosphere.

Here are some high-lights that we really like in this contemporary house at Laguna Beach.

The video above is showing the lovely neighborhood.

And here is the entrance–very Zen-like.

Here are some high-lights that we really like this contemporary house a lot.

Sunday Vibes

We like to take a casual walk at a neighborhood coastal resort after a long run on Sundays. the late afternoon glow, the Mediterranean architecture details, french cafe, rose gardens, the sea not that far and the sunset…etc. are just like a dream to me. Wouldn’t be nice to take a little get-away over the weekend to recharge once a while?

Lush rose garden always make me feel great

Candles make me expect a romantic and peaceful evening

In case, you would like to incorporate some aged Mediterranean pieces for your interiors, here are some of my picks:

Sunday Mood-board—Bold color and Pattern

Good morning! How’s your Sunday going so far? I woke up earlier and watered my garden first. I feel it is such a bless for me to enjoy my garden in the morning. I love to observe how morning sun light shines through the greeneries with a little cute dew drops. It is such a romantic moment for me. What’s your Sunday mood? what color are you in mood for today?

We visited an art installation yesterday and it is about colorful rolling-hill landscape in Ireland. I’ve never been to Ireland and I guess people there must be very happy. You know that is true since we all have a good time on St. Patric’s Day. so here is my sunday color block mood-board. Enjoy!

Weekend Vibes

“Less Talk, More Ice Cream”, what about talks over ice cream?

I love just scrolling around the neighborhoods of Los Angeles to experience diversified cultures, find new cool shops with quirky interiors, or simply having my sweet-treats and batheing in the sunshines. What about you? How do you spend your weekends?

Color of Orange is all about being happy and optimistic.

I am just like everyone here and enjoying each other’s company.

Happy Sunday

A Day of Traveling Part II

We just had another big earth quick last night in SoCal after the 6.4 one on 4th July! It is 7.1! Send love and prayer to people who are affected seriously. And I followed Dr. Lucy Jones from CalTech last night the whole night for her analysis on what’s going on. Somehow, listening to her gives me a sense of peace.

Well, when natural disasters happen, we know we need to appreciate all of the beautiful things around us more. So, guys, let’s continue our Day of Traveling—Part II. There are a lot of beautiful photos for the modern classic interiors I caught during the trip, so it’s time to sit back and relax.

Arte-decor clubbing house. The geometric black-and-white rug does the wander for this room. And of course, the brown leather tufted mid-century chairs, the fireplace and wooden wall panelings add the layer of old school traditions and bring the stories and warmth to the space.

Fresh light pink hydrangea sets the romantic tone in the lobby.

Love this abstract artwork in brass frame.

I am just so so so obsessed with this blue-and white vignette. Who wouldn’t—elegant and romantic!

Such an airy and light-filled sitting area. Color of Live Coral on my dress kind of pops up in this muted creamy background. The wall panelings add the depth to the space.

Love how they pared orange with silver champaign leaf.

I always have a thing with sheer roman shades—they often soften the lights shining through the windows.

The details on this clean-line classic fireplace.

in love with this full-body French-pleated drapery—it’s elevated this cozy beachy hanging-out area. Yes, we are ready for a good conversation oner the afternoon-tea.

Light blue does relax me a lot in this outdoor sitting area.

Hope you enjoy all of them.

Stay Safe
