Nice place and well done in only 4 months. Their choices are really working with the beautiful old architecture.

What is the paint color in the dining room? It's exactly what I've been looking for.

I am in love with your kitchen and bathroom.

I love the last pic :)

Could you tell us where the living room sofas are from?

Thanks so much everyone! The paint is called Dark Shadows from Dunn-Edwards, and I'm absolutely obsessed with it. So moody and lush! The sofas are from Hold It, a store in San Diego (but I believe they sell online too). xx

"What Friends Say: No more gold! But I don't listen to them." You are my hero Chelsea! I love your place - esp. the gold bits. I usually see the spider floor lamp (in your living room) with the lights facing down. Facing them upwards is pure genius! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much ElaneB! I like the light bouncing off the ceiling rather than getting lost on the floor xx

Chelsea. so enjoyed the tour and the humor in the survey and your responses to the comments so far. Copper and chrome are to me as brass and gold are to you. Stand fast!
I also get a kick out of paint names and sometimes will be swayed by them in choosing. You could call your place "Collinwood" in keeping with your favorite color,"Dark Shadows". KIdding!

Great style. The tile in the kitchen and bathrooms are beautiful.

Enjoyed this tour.

your place looks great, chelsea, and i'm having huge pangs seeing the etagere again. promise me if you ever sicken of it, you'll let me buy it back! ;-)

congrats on the awesome tour with marcia- so funny when worlds collide!

oxoxo

Where did you find that gold etagere in the dining room? It's so gorgeous. I live in Minnesota. Does anyone know where I can find a gold/brass and glass etagere?

Thanks!

What a lovely home full of style and character! Could you tell me what white and off-white paint colors you used? Also, where are the living room curtains from?

Also, your hardwood floors are beautiful - what is the stain color?

that etagere is a find indeed....love it! and the chandelier on the dining table is beautiful....:)

could you tell me the paint color in the bedroom?
love it!

love that final pic!

Totally in love with the tile in the kitchen and bath. Great style, nice post.

Have to agree...the etagere is very cool. Brass is ugly? Only if it's cheap brass plating. That piece is gorgeous and timeless!

Great Home!
Can you tell me where your Vinyl record storage/shelf/boxes are made by or where you got them? I love that solution!

Can you please tell us where you got the brass spider lamp? I've been looking for one like it for quite some time!

Loved all the great architecture features like the beamed ceiling in the living room, the archways, the built in vintage vanity/sink in the bathroom and tile in the kitchen an bathroom and the plaster relief wall in the bedroom.
As far as the decorating and furniture goes, I have to be critical, now before anyone decides to jump on me for it, when one agrees to put themselves and their decorating skills out there for the world to see, they should be open to constructive criticism. You have some nice pieces of furniture but over all I think your decorating is chaotic and too busy. My favorite room is the bedroom other than the white wall(s). It would look much better and finished if the grey paint was extended to cover all four walls. The furniture and accessories in the bedroom are cohesive and work well together. The two seat sofa in the TV room pushed into the corner doesn't work at all in my opinion. But, hey each to their own. Your backyard/patio has a lot of potential and hopefully over time will look inviting, more plants in big and small pots please, maybe a canopy of some kind would help create some shade and add some style. Anyway, good luck..... It's a great house!

I like the wall color in the bedroom a lot, especially with the gold frame. But some of these rooms could benefit from a make-under. Unbutton the top button, literally and metaphorically.

The etagere was a total find from a local interior designer (www.maison21.com), it's my treasure piece! (And Christian, I'm ever-so thankful you let it go!). The curtains in the living room are actually Ikea! The vinyl boxes are actually from a company in the UK, but I'll find the link and post here once I dig it up.

Totally appreciate the constructive tips as well! Sometimes I, too, feel like it needs to be unbuttoned a bit. I think that will come in time, once settled into the house a bit more. And we are painting all four walls in the bedroom! We started with two, nervous that it might be too overpowering with all four, but definitely agree that it will look much nicer.

Thanks everyone! xx

I thought there would be more Prouve pieces (more than two stools), since he's the national sales manager of G-Star and all. I believe Vitra and G-Star have a collaboration right now.

Absolutely gorgeous. I don't think it needs to be unbuttoned. To me it is a good balance of very organized/thought out and personal. And I covet the kitchen and bath....and the arched doorways....and the niches in the living room...

Sigh.

I dunno. It's nice I suppose, but it feels more styled than lived in and so finely edited that it is almost seems a bit bland to me. That's just my opinion though, I see others here love it and clearly the owners love it, which is what matters most.

I don't understand the empty curtain rods over the windows in the living room, though?

Wow, this is home which has been elevated to an entirely different level by the power of paint colors. I can see how this home could have been turned into a grandmother's abode by dull colors, but you have transformed the space. Great job, and I don't say it often :)

Now, if only you would not mind sharing the name of paint colors.

Very nice.

LOVE love love that you kept the old tile...especially in the kitchen where generic seems to be the name of the game.

I love art deco. This has to be my favorite tour so far!

I feel so inspired. I think you hit the jackpot with this house with all of its lovely tile work and sculpted spaces. And, well...you did a lovely job making it a home!!

This home is wonderful -- and to think you rent it! Your landlord must love the love you're showing the house.

The only complaint I have is for AT and marcia prentice -- these fotos don't do the house justice and are confusing: a plain couch in a beige room? Close-ups out of context? The extra room that is a tv room -- where is it? I wish all fotos had captions. Just a suggestion AT.

SO glam...and I love the tile work in the kitchen and baths!

Hard to believe this is a rental; you've made it an amazing permanent looking home which can be hard to do in a home you don't own so well done! Love that you aren't afraid to mix metals, Love the paint, and I LOVE your living room (everything about it is perfection).

Well done.

where did you get the string lights in the backyard? been looking for a long one forever. i think your place is amazing. you have a great sense of style and thanks for sharing.

I adore your place! The sultry wall colors really make the white pop! I, too, am a fan of the gold and Kerry Wearstler's style. Did you choose the brass curtain rods instead of curtains, or are you just looking for the perfect ones? It's a really cute choice!

Great blend of deco/mcm/hollywood regency. Love it!

LOVE THIS PLACE. I audibly gasped at the first shot of your kitchen, this is what I want to do with mine (eventually)!

First of all, what a beautiful couple! They look so good together. Their home is just lovely! I love these Southern Cali homes when they are featured. They always have this Spanish style influence that is unmistakeable. They have infused their home with Hollywood glamour and a vintage/modern vibe. I love all the accessories and little details that speak volumes about them. You feel like you know them just by the the little treasures throughout their home. The dark walls are moody and bold and the perfect backdrop for their furniture and collections. The floor is just beautiful. It is refreshing to see no kitchen or bathroom remodel. They truly work with what they have and they have sucessfully mastered that "collected" "vintage" and upscale flea-market luxury look. Well done Chelsea and Alex! I enjoyed the tour of your gorgeous home.

Love how you have invested in your spaced. The architectural details in your place are drool worthy. I love vintage, so the kitchen and bathroom are my favorite spaces, but really like the living room and dining room too. Thanks for sharing.

Where's her proud hallway artwork??? Cute house- Buy it!!

Love it. Where are the square gold vases/planters on the glass top table from?

this home has such wonderful californian charm. the tile work in the kitchen & bathroom are just fabulous. i especially loved your headboard in the master bedroom. what a beautifully styled home.

Great recessed bookshelves. Love the chunky huge coffee table. Great dark wall colors.
Don't get the empty curtain rods. Odd number of close ups on book covers and too many pictures of a sort of unhappy looking couple.

What they've done with the house is terrific and what a great piece of architecture to work with!

Your home is INCREDIBLE. Totally dying over the tile in your kitchen and bathroom ~ it makes me want an old house in LA so bad! And I'm loving the vintage glamour throughout the rest of the place. So unique, so beautiful, and filled with passion. Thank you for sharing!

really beautiful home, chelsea. so inspiring for me as i'm doing a redeco currently. loving your paint colors and warm woods. also, i am in LOVE with the black and white tribal-esque throw pillows in your living and bed rooms. can you tell me where you got them? thx. xx

Where is the art in your bedroom from? it is gorgeous!

I know I'm hundred years late on this post (just discovered AT), but this vintage beauty of a house just makes me want to say thank god it is still preserved, especially in L.A.! The Art Deco arches, cabinets, and tiles are wonderful (black tile in pink bath is a bit wonky but could be from earthquakes & repairs)...anyway, too much of L.A. architectural history & charm is being obliterated just for the sake of bigger. To live in one of these charmers would make one feel how it once was for those in the Golden days of the movie industry.
