Laurel Canyon House Tour Refined by Brigette Romanek

June 26, 2018
  • Share

Taking a quick break from the COCOCOZY Design House craziness for a Laurel Canyon home tour!

I lived just east of Laurel Canyon for such a long time, so this one hits home for me. I love the rustic nature of living in the hills above Los Angeles. One of my favorite things is finding a really refined spaced in the midst of the windy roads. This grand 1925 Mediterranean-style mansion belonging to interior designer Brigette Romanek and her husband Mark is quite fantastic. It is a 2800-square-metre untraditional family home (previously owned by legendary music producer Rick Rubin) that has true California refinement and obvious musical history.  

Let’s take a peek (below)!

Love this shot of the family dog hanging in the foyer. Reminds me of Mr. Boo!

This five-bedroom, 10-bathroom home channels the vibe of an Italian country villa with the balustrade and the red tile roof. Then there is the to die for grey and white marble checkered entry. If I had an endless budget, my front walk and foyer would look like this. There’s something sophisticated and classic about entering the home on a tumbled marble checkered floor sourced from a French chateau. Believe it or not, this flooring was once Terracotta.

The exterior screams casual sophistication.

Books and photographs add so much personality to any space.

The floor-to-ceiling wood panel library is cool and oh-so cozy with the modern furniture.

Brigette chose a dark, earthy palette for the kitchen — a risky move that totally paid off!

The arched windows and doors throughout the home are an absolute YES.

Brigette and Mark decided to let the architecture of the home speak for itself by keeping the decor sleek and simple. Here you can see a Hans J Wegner hammock-style chaise lounge, a pair of Marco Zanuso armchairs, goatskin carpets, African stools, and photographs by Richard Avedon and Larry Sultan.

I could stare at this mirrored bathroom all day!

This leafy green oasis would be my dream room for my morning coffee!

You can tell how selective Brigette was with picking minimal but perfect pieces for each room.

You can tell there’s a lot of history in this colorful library!

A job well done by an incredible designer!

I love how this home clearly has a ton of history, but also has a modern twist. A classic!

On that thought… time to get back to the Design House! Will update you soon!

A well-designed bunk room isn’t just for kids. It’s about making every guest feel like they got the best bed in the house. Built-in storage, thoughtful lighting, and bedding that actually makes you want to climb up top.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎 This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎
Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.

How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️
I flew from Los Angeles to Nantucket for a very quick trip and I’m planning to find out.
Beautiful beaches, boats, gorgeous interiors, time with friends and one last little dose of August.
Turns out you don’t always need a whole week to feel like you got away. 🤍
So happy to be visiting bestie @francesgfayard and her husband Calvin and my godson Carter for a little last minute end of summer travel. New England at its best. Day 1 was a beautiful day. 🤩
You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.
