The decor of this beautiful home in the adored Valmonte neighborhood of Palos Verdes Estates evolved room by room over the span of a couple of years. The client and I have a wonderful working relationship, and I love that she appreciates a range of colors, patterns, and a richly layered design style. {read more below}

I love being able to use wallpaper in my designs, and the olive green chinoiserie grasscloth in the dining room is a fantastic backdrop for all of the entertaining that happens here. We have a nice blend of high-end antiques and more casual woven pieces of furniture throughout, for a cool mix of textures. The client splurged on custom curtains in luxurious patterned fabrics, which really makes the rooms feel special and unique. I especially love the ones in the beautifully appointed guest room, with the subtle blends of oranges and aquas in the horizontal striped sheers peaking out from behind the large floral blackout curtains.  Some of my favorite pieces in the house are from other countries, such as Morocco, India, and Italy, such as the large inlaid mirror in the entry hall, the side tables in the living room, and the Venetian chandelier in the stairwell. Perfect for clients who travel internationally often from their home in Palos Verdes Estates.
