SPRING HOME TOUR: INSIDE A TRADITIONAL LA HOME!

I can’t wait until this Sunday! I’m going on tour…well, errr, I’m going on a tour of homes I should say…a fantastic tour of traditional homes in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park area.

First house on my stop will be this recently remodeled Mediterranean house that was perfectly redone by the talented architecture firm of Newman & Wolen Design.

I have been to this house…invited by the owner and architect himself, Tom Newman (…she brags about having “been” as she pretends to be just reporting the facts)! Love it and can’t wait to see it again.

So the scoop is…this Sunday, April 19th, from 11a-4pm, the Los Angeles chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) will host the first leg of its Spring Home Tour. The focus on this day of the self-guided home tour is the traditional Hancock Park home that has been updated and remodeled. Four homes to see on Sunday. For wonderful remodels.

Am only showing you a few photos from this spectacular Newman & Wolen Design remodeled house right now…I will do a full feature with before and after photos on this home a little later and include many details.

Tom, the architect and owner. also did an exclusive Cococozy Q&A with me about the home and the well executed remodel (…she brags again…just to brag…for bragging sake. Stop. She knows what you are thinking…is this something to “brag” about or just gladly comment on? She answers: who wouldn’t brag over an exclusive Q&A with a prestigious architect (“she” is bragging again btw in case you didn’t notice) and before and after photos? No need to answer…once again, “she” is always fearful of what readers might respond to rhetorical questions…) (Aside note: Hope “she” is not struck down by lightning for throwing all graces and etiquette aside by clandestinely mentioning things but really bragging in her mind…hmmmm…after awhile people do catch on to this sort of thing…hmmmm(again)).

Anyhooo, this post is simply a preview of what I’m going to see and you could too this Sunday if you are in Los Angeles.

A masterclass in contemporary wedding event designA masterclass in contemporary wedding event design, every detail feels intentional, layered, and deeply personal.
Designed by @bychenai, a prolific and talented London based wedding and events planner, this wedding is a study in thoughtful design and artful creative direction. We say well done Chenai!
Long tables arranged in a maze-like formation created a striking design, while still allowing 350 guests to move throughout the space. A rich brown and gold palette brought warmth and depth, paired with refined tabletops and lush floral centerpieces.
