Oh, what a gorgeous little oasis! It's so personalized, cosy, funky, artistic, shady, colourful, homey...LOVE.

loved the home, but i thought the photos could have been put into the proper order...instead of jumping from living room to kitchen/patio, then back to living room, entry, then ending with the patio again.

just sayin. i like to have an idea of the home going from front door, then room to room...not bouncing back and forth.

Heavenly! From the inviting backyard to the hot little Mercedes in the driveway... I'll take it all. Seriously, can I please have that backyard and car? And I'm not sure what to call it, but that gold pirate ship thing in the living room is super cool.

Beautiful home! I'm jealous. :) Also, your puppy is soooo cute! What breed is he. He's so adorable!

Perfectly cozy! For a small space it contains a lot personality...and it has a very natural vibe. I imagine that guests are instantly comfortable in this space...which is something I try to shoot for in my own house. Great tour...cute wookie!

What a fantastic place! I could spend hours just puttering in the garden/terrace area. Love the big blue front door. And what type of plant is that climbing your walls... some sort of succulent?

I could totally live here and be happy.
had the same question Rose, they are always so creative.

I LOVE your kitchen and how it is right off the lovely porch!!!

Gorgeous! Love everything about it. Including your dog, who genuinely LOOKS like a Wookie. FYI, mirror and art in the dining room look ever so slightly crooked. ;)

Mirror in the entryway, that is.

Lovely in every way. Don't understand the cool looking awning up above though....is it just for looks (which is great) or is there a small terrace up there ? So jealous and impressed.

"Paris apartment meets beach house"--exactly! And it's truly lovely; such a vibe I would go for. To wit: you have my bedspread on your dining room table. And you're reading "Freedom!" Franzen slays me.

the awning up top actually is over a balcony to the guest apt. Blythe owns the whole building which is two units, and rents the upper unit to a tenant. :)

Hands down my favorite AT house tour. I love every detail.

Love this house. It got better with each click!

Wow-that patio looks like something from a movie...I would also love to know what the greenery growing up the wall is and how long it took to look that lush?

Okay, so I'm in the minority. I disagree with her statement that bathrooms should be white but I understand that is a personal perference. I also am weary of any home that has to have bars over each and every window. Maybe becuase I'm in the big city, but that screams bad neighborhood to me. Just saying....

..that have to have bars...jeez, bad grammer! YIKES

Positively dreamy. I don't know anything about this neighborhood but LYONSTILL - did it ever occur to you that we can't all afford to live in expensive neighborhoods? Power to the people. WE ARE THE NINETY-NINE PERCENT!
:)

Fantastic! It's a delightful home and garden - thanks for sharing it! :)

I want that doggie, he looks like a pistol

Is Wookie an Affenpinscher? Love those dogs!

I think we are sisters..this house is totally my style, I have an older classic mercedes and a big affection for funny looking terriers :) Wookie is adorable! Mine is crazy..
I love these houses in West Hollywood, your place is just lovely. The door color is so beautiful. I love everything!
I am looking for a little Moroccan tea table, where did you get yours?

The doggie is a Brussels Griffon, I had one as a child, they think they are big dogs and they prance like a horse they're fantastic.

ELANEB : You've made an assumption. Due to personal circumstances, I was raised in a neighborhood where the windows were all barred and it wasn't a nice to place to raise a child. I now live in a condo that I saved for years to purchased but by no way am I in the 1%.
Care how you word things.

Love, love just love this small house. I want to move in! And that little griffon is just adorable

Could you please provide the names of the paint colors for the entryway/living room and the front door? They are beautiful!

@Lyonstill, Elaneb never wrote that you were 1%, just that many people can't afford to live in expensive neighborhoods.

Since you bring up how things are worded, I found your original message to be very strangely worded. To say that you're "weary" of any house that has to have bars sounds similar to claiming you're weary of taxidermy or "keep calm and carry on." Those are simple design decisions. A woman having bars on her ground floor windows isn't a simple design decision. I would assume it's based on safety considerations.

"I'm so weary of poverty, and crime, and low income projects. Let them eat cake...."

Really loved your back porch oasis! (awesome house too:) ) Can anyone tell me what type of vine that is, I have heard some are healthy for homes with brick and others are not. I have put those pic's in my inspiration collection, Thanks for inspiration!!!

I love it all including the occupants!!

Great tour! Gotta love a beautiful vine-covered cottage and a minature Chewbacca.
What is the paint color in the bedroom, please?

@TSPINTERIORDESIGN thanks for clarifying the dog breed :)

West Hollywood is not a inexpensive neigborhood by any means and bars on windows are pretty common in many neigborhoods, its LA.

Love this. Love everything about this..the kitchen. Oh, I love the kitchen. Very nicely done!

I'm so glad the other lovely posters already addressed the bars on windows comment. I too felt it an odd thing to be "weary" of. On to the good stuff, the flat is smashing, it's warm inviting and clearly the home to one fabulous lil dog! Is he not the show stopper?!

Love it, I felt at home there only looking at the photos.
The home has soul, I would have bought it, too. A bungalow like this is my dream ~ someday.... sigh

Someone asked what she did for a living, and at first based on slides 43 & 44, I thought she might be a jewelry designer, but then I Googled her and she's a TV & Film Producer.

I love this home! But I thought that all of the paint colors she chose throughout were so warm and lovely that it made the white bathroom seem unfinished (just my thought)...but overall such an amazing oasis she has created.

Doverussell, I thought the exact same thing about the bathroom. It cries out for some of the wonderful color in the rest of the house. I smiled when I read that the owner likes white bathrooms.

I love this house. Beautiful.

As a woman who has lived in a first floor apt in an unsafe 'hood, I'd definitely want bars on the windows even in a safe one.

I LOVE this apt. Everything from the homey lr with warm earthy browns and green walls to the kitchen with yellow walls, white cabinets, and white-black floors.

I like the arched doorways, the textiles and the cute little outdoor breakfast nook. Charming.

The bars on the windows don't bother me in this case, maybe because they seem partly decorative and the greenery softens their look. There are some barred windows in the world that scream "crime zone" or "prison look," but at the other end of the spectrum, I'm sporadically tempted to contract with someone to do some really pretty Moroccan-style or organic vine design metalwork that could go over 2 of my ground-floor windows, so I could let the cool air into my bedroom late at night without letting an intruder in or my 2 cats out. Then I remember my condo is severely underwater (financially speaking) and I drop that vision back down to the bottom of my condo wish list! ;)

love your home!

The interior seems nice and cozy, but there is no way I could live with those vines surrounding the house and patio area. Think of all the bugs living in them (which can probably make their way inside...)! Yuck!

warm beach house feel juxtaposed with bars on the outside. i would feel like a caged canary in that place or martha stewart in jail.

I love this house! I am trying to choose paint colors for my new house and am looking for a yellow like the one in the kitchen-- would you mind sharing the specific yellow color? And also the blue in the living room? Thanks for sharing!

I want this house. I love the big blue door, the bench seats at the dining table, the comfy couch with heaps of cushions. Ahhhh.
There are so many things in here I would normally hate but she has pulled them all together.
The rug in the lounge room for example, if you showed me that on it's own I would say no way. The shell in the bathroom, I normally despise 'ocean' themes in bathrooms but my god, it looks great.
Give me this house, now.

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT KIND OF GORGEOUS DOG THAT IS OMG I DIE

I imagine Lyonstill meant "wary" about the bars...?

Lovely home, could totally live there

What color is the kitchen? Yellows are so difficult to get right, but that one is perfect.

I actually held my Farrow and Ball fandeck to my screen and thought it might be Farrow's Cream, but really it's impossible to figure out that way.

I love everything about your home, especially the kitchen and outdoor space! Could you share the name of the paint color in the living room?

What a lovely home! Yes, please share the kitchen, dining and living room colors - the F&B colors NEVER look the same on the fan deck.

The tall ship, looking so delicate and buoyant, navigating that table (not to mention the placement of the tall-ship painting) is inspiration times ten.

Love the color in the living room, it's just gorgeous. The kitchen is so bright and sunny and I love the benches at the table. Those are neater than having chairs. The doggie is so cute, I think he's a Brussels griffon? I like his mustoosh. :-)

I love the Eames Chair! I just picked up a used knock-off for my home and it makes a wonderful focal point for the room. This is a great home tour. Bravo!

@AME1490 who is fearful of bugs being in the vines and possibly getting inside the house: seriously? you need some heavy-duty exposure to nature. Get outside, go barefoot, sit yourself down in some long grass somewhere and just get to know the other living creatures that populate this planet and make it habitable for you. WIthout all of them, we would have nothing.

I adore Wookie!!

The home is absolutely charming; makes me want to move out and start over! But really, I just love Wookie; he is the cutest little thing,and makes his presence and home ownership clear in many pics.

Re vines - California is not particularly buggy probably due to the lack of humidity. I keep bugs out of my wall vines by having the gardener blow off the vines once a month. Never a problem. Those gorgeous vines on the cottage have been there for years. That's some serious growth and they require care. She probably has a good gardener with a good ladder. I have creeping fig vines on part of my house. They are lovely and stick to stucco and brick well without being invasive and don't break through the structure - but they are hard to start and very finicky about sun exposure. The woman across the street can't get them to start and she is a better gardener than I. I am in western growing zone 9 or 10, and everything is so dependent on knowing those guidelines.

Oh, and I won't have any pesticide/herbicide spraying on my property. The few garden spiders (and black widows) I have take care of the pesky ants, and everything seems to be in balance.

Lovely house and kudos for the bit about not wanting your house to look like a catalog! That makes a home feel sterile. Your house feels well lived and loved. And your dog has the cutest squishy face.

Fantastic tour! I adore the kitchen, sorta covet the outdoors, and think the blue door is gorgeous! Plus, your dog looks like Chewbacca. Wanna trade lives??

This is hands-down my favorite AT tour. I love everything about it and would not change a thing, except for the wall-mounted TV, but that is my own personal preference. This is a place I would love to call my own, and I wish you and Wookie (who does look just like one) many years of happiness in this creative space filled with your memories. Love the character in that kitchen. Bungalow are my favorite.

I actually like the look of the bars. I love wrought iron. I would worry about escaping in a fire, though.

LOVE, love, LOVE every detail lovingly attended to create this home. For all the critical comments about the bars...you've not been there -obviously. I've lived in many a "marginal" neighborhood, and I REFUSE to let that steal my need to create- my own oasis! Should only the most upscale hoods be allowed that pleasure? wow...i'm glad you're not MY friend! They look wonderful, appropriate and I'd feel extremely honored and SAFE, to be a guest in your beautiful home!

Beautiful!!
I miss SoCal architecture...
Love that sweet little dog :)

Perfectly imperfect.

Good job Bethany!

Cool Paul

Beautiful comfortable home but 1) please straighten the mirror and pictures 2) peeps please argue elsewhere.

The dog looks like Chewbacca - cute!!!

Very charming. I'm a big fan of the black and white kitchen tiles especially with the mix of lush greens in the backyard. It's a breath of fresh air to discover cozy homes such as the one here. Thanks for sharing!

Great to see someone who has some serious art on their walls. And I love that the kitchen wasn't remodeled. It looks adorable as is.
Re: bars on windows, I, too, live in Los Angeles in a rather swank neighborhood and all the houses have bars on the windows. I never thought it indicated anything bad whatsoever, and personally I enjoy them because I leave my windows open day and night without fearing anyone could break in. It's especially lovely to wake up to the scent of jasmine blooming outside.

I can't believe all the attention bars on the windows is getting. Your place looks very inviting and as many have commented- I too would sure love to know the colors you used throughout the home. What do you think of the quality of their paint? Be proud; your home is beautifully done.

Love the feel of this home. While some of it is not necessarily my style, I love that is seems to really suit the occupant. There's a comfortable, easy style about it.

And what I would give to have an outdoor space like that! So inviting.

I love the outdoor space. It's beautiful. I really wish the photos were of better quality, though.

What's the color in your office or bedroom area?? I think it would look great in my apartment, and it's so difficult to find that perfect greige color.

Thanks, and great place!

Paul

one of my faves!

"@TSPInteriorDesign thanks for clarifying the dog breed :)

West Hollywood is not a inexpensive neigborhood by any means and bars on windows are pretty common in many neigborhoods, its LA."

Exactly. It's not an inexpensive neighborhood. A 1,000 foot, fixer-upper bungalow can easy go for $600,000. I've lived in L.A. County, Pasadena, for over forty-five years.

As for bars on windows, some people prefer bars on their windows and some don't. West Hollywood is very busy and densely populated. And if I were living in such a busy area, I might put some decorative bars on first-floor windows being female and especially since I'm back and forth between the U.S. and overseas. I'd probably feel my property and myself more secure having some bars. It is a big city and even friends who live in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, and other such areas have some form of security, usually in the form of an alarm system though.

At my present residence, I live on the second floor of two floors, but before now lived, for 20 years, in a Pasadena craftsman bungalow without bars or an alarm system, but quite secure with locked gates and high fences. And before the bungalow, I lived 20 years in our family home without bars or an alarm system. Different comfort zones for different folks.

I love the West Hollywood bungalow featured. It's very cozy and personalized and not magazine generic.

Typo correction: "easily" not "easy".

Anyone know the name of the vines?

Lovely home. Can you tell me where you got the wrought iron garden benches? I love them.

I live in South America and all the houses have bars on them. Now I wouldn't feel comfortable unless I live in a house with bars on the windows. You get used to things.
I love the look of your kitchen. Is it uncomfortable to have to go around the corner to use the stove?

Love it, especially the color in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing!

What a cool space! I especially love your outdoor area. And great use of an odd shaped kitchen, it's so charming.

One of my favorite tours yet! I love the kitchen, the outdoor space, your dog, you, it's all put together beautifully! My favorite piece is the ottoman and side tables in your LR..mind sharing where you picked those up? The side tables look like barstools...really cool. Thanks for sharing!!

I LOVE the BARS!! They remind me of New Orleans, anything wrought iron, and the vines just made my knees weak. This is one if my favorite house tours from AT. I disagree all bathrooms should be white, but I can appreciate her point of view. I would love to live in this home, with the lovely vines, beautiful iron bars, pergola, backyard, blue door and precious dog. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

Nice!!!!! LOVE the dog. I also really like the vintage Mercedes...

the paint colors did it for me. i love the soft green and the almost-yellow colors, against the black and white tile. beautiful. and i want your little morelock dog. adorable.
