Inspiration: Flea Markets!
David has been a friend of the family for 20 years, ever since he and his family transplanted here from France and discovered the French community in Venice. He and my Dad bonded over their love of vintage California style and consequently dragged us daughters to the Rose Bowl Flea Market for years.
They bought up vintage radios, mid century credenzas, herman miller chairs, and lots and lots of vintage Air France posters and cowboy paintings. You might say that they were collectors.
At one point David had so many radios that half had to be in storage because there just wasn't enough room in the house. Today his collection is more manageabe and is proudly displayed as the first thing you see when you walk through the front door.
Our Style: eclectic/contemporary

What Friends Say: Nice!

Just got: Lot's of kids things for the new baby!
Any additional plans?: Nope, All Done.

Ah, the French community in Venice... Also, is that Emilys' dad's house?
This is so beautiful and interesting.
Hey BobLLama--Yes it is. Did the radio's give it away?
OMG, I just love the vintage bakelite radios from the 30's through the 50's and one of them would be the old Fada "bullet" radio from the 1940's.
Great space however, lots of fun stuff in there and I like the house and pool area. Lovely.
fantastic!
Interesting use of old department store shirt cubes...
Actually, no. I don't think I ever went to their house (Emily didn't so much like me. What is it with your female friends not liking me? Oh, wait...)
It was the French parents dragging daughters that kind of clued me in.
It's my dream home!!!! I want to live there VERY badly.
