Oh my God. One of the best house tours EVER!

It takes a very skilled hand to pull off this mix of mid-century modern meets traditional English cottage style, and they have done it masterfully. As an Anglophile, this may be one of my favorite house yours yet!

Wow, really terrific. Tasteful, cozy, interesting. I love the master bedroom, and those crests on the wall.

Wonderful...the time spent on your books was worthwhile. (Can't imagine finding anything when they're organized only by color.) Manages to be both elegant and homey at one time. Congratulations!

I love the wallpaper in the dining room. At first, when I thought the feature photo posted above, I thought it was "real". Only when taking the tour I realized it was a wallpaper. That kinda disappointed me a bit.

A very lovely house, nice couple, a very cute son (and I never comment on kids).
The lady of the house must be a spotless cook - a persian rug in the kitchen? Wowzers!

There's just something special about this place. I love it.

Skillful use of black accents throughout the home. Love it.

Lisa has one of the best blogs.

This house is sick!!! Hands down best house tour!

Wow, not my taste at all and I could never pull something off like this ever, but I find this home so exciting..like said above it takes a special talent and she has it!

Very tableau vivant! Reading through the list under Resource Notes all familiar sources but its obvious they or she are well travelled the house is very worldly and energetic.

Is the bench they are sitting on made of horseshoes? my gosh I want!

Thank you for this tour, much fun on the eyes.

What an absolutely gorgeous home!

Love the Chris Levine portrait of the Queen over the kitchen threshold.

i never saw so much use of patterns and textures done up so well..beautiful....love all their books :)

So glad this was a house tour, I've had two photos from this house in an inspiration folder for a while (the staircase and the office). Just fantastic!

Beautiful! Thank you for not being afraid to use color and embracing a touch of tidy clutter in your home! Of all the house tours I've seen, this is the only house where I Immediately thought, "I want to live there!"

And just when I didn't think it could get any better, you go and throw in a vintage 49ers helmet...

They had me at cherry blossom wallpaper. Gorgeous. The house tours have been so inspiring lately! Keep up the great work!

Where I hope to live in my next life! Gorgeous layering, use of contrasts (materials, patterns, color), and 'real' stuff. Thank you for sharing.

wow! there is so many interesting things going on here and you pulled them all together beautifully. The black bookcases are so unexpected and awesome, add a ton of depth. Thank you for sharing.

One of my favorite house tours ever! Gorgeous!

totally not my style, and also, I really really love it.

your kitchen is so simple/awesome I want to hug it.

pretty much the coolest house I've seen here in a while.

Your house is Gorgeous! All of the wall paper is stunning. The black and white light fixture above the kitchen table, the seating areas, the pool, the art work are spot on.

I absolutely love it. I had seen a few of these photos before on houzz and had flagged them for an idea book. i never put them together as coming from the same house though. After seeing them all together I can easily say that this is my favorite house by far. Each piece of the pie fits just right. I love the mix of textiles, colors, light, dark, etc.

Truly inspiring and give me some great ideas on how to pull my own house together. I have been frozen with indecision and fear but this puts a lot of my ideas into some sort of perspective.

This is fabulous. Definitely on my top-5-house-tours list.

A house that CELEBRATES books! (And art, and comfort, and humor.) "Inspired" is a good word for it - as are original, bold and imaginative. I'm swooning.

Hey I know I have seen some of these pictures on Houzz. Thought they were just scenes from a decorator portfolio. Nice to see the humans who inhabit this dwelling. Love the eclectic look of this. I have to agree this is one of the best tours!

LOVE! Especially the x-stitch (x-stitch look?) boobies piece! Fabulous! :)

This is simply fabulous! I'm intrigued by the book wallpaper, and I thought it was real at first, too. But you have enough real books in your house that it works well. And your son is adorable. I think I'll take this tour a few more times.

This is REALLY a hard look to pull off. It's often attempted but doesn't pan out well. But they did it perfectly. PER.FECT.LY.

I'm really impressed. One the coolest house tours ever. In the true sense of the word "cool."

I've been in this house...you just want to spend a week walking around and taking it all in...it's very beautiful.

Kitty and an Aga stove. Swoon swoon swoon!! I also adore the wallpaper.

While I love looking at contemporary design, and think I hanker for it, this is much more how I really live...so, seeing homes like this not only makes me feel better about the all the stuff I have and will probably keep collecting, but gives me ideas for how creatively it can be placed. Amazing to think that this is "only" 2500 sq. ft.!

Love! And I covet all the wallpaper (and good taste) throughout the entire house.

And that boobies cross-stitch is hilarious - I might have to stitch one up myself....

i'm going to go with the majority and say that honestly...i really think it IS the best house tour ever.

it's beautifully curated, but not too organized that you feel like you can't touch anything. it feels like i could walk in and feel completely at home in any of the rooms.

all the black walls and heavily patterned wallpaper (though not normally my style), really works and is making me rethink why it's NOT my style.

i think my favorite 2 rooms (it's a tie) is the upstairs office with the little sitting area (TO DIE FOR) and the bedroom. i don't know how they ever leave it. bouncing between the bed, the row of (what looked like) ottomans and the easy chair, i can honestly say i would have a hard time working outside of my home.

What a great house and nice people in it. I love that needlepoint sampler!

Stunning! Thanks for showing the entire house--I've seen bits and pieces elsewhere, but had no idea how the whole house flowed.

I am practically a minimalist, but i really like this house. It is quirky and interesting, but still feels adult and sophisticated. I do sometimes feel like AT leans too far in the whimsical/twee direction, so this house is a welcome sight.

"Our home feels like a great cocktail party - filled with an assortment of interesting characters all taking part in the same conversation."

I love EVERYTHING about this house tour (this quote and the lemon tree are the icing on the cake for me). Beautiful beautiful beautiful!

Kill me dead and bury me in Vivienne Westwood, this is just gorgeous! Thank you for being alive. I'm another Anglophile, and this is shelter porn at it's best. I love the black in LA, too. Sometimes you can just have too much sunlight there. Oh, and the wallpaper is magical. Love-ly, the whole thing is lovely.

Jenny Holzer on the stairs! Just one of the many things to love about this house. Thank you for sharing!

Gorgeous. Everything. I have no criticisms. I'm in love with your home. Great job.

Not my style at all, but I find this home stunning. I'm sure it is very welcoming to family and guests alike. Plenty of comfy-looking places to sit down and enjoy the amazing artwork and creative arrangements. I would love a crack at cooking in that kitchen, which is beautiful, unpretentious, and a useful size. So unlike most of the can-you-top-this kitchens in LA where no one actually prepares meals or feeds a family. And I seriously would have run away from my own parents to get a bedroom like the one their son has! That said, anyone who arranges such a huge number of books by height and color should be spanked.

PS: Fitz and the Tantrums are great, Piero!

Love the feminist art and ideas, "Raise boys like girls," and "No more home arts prized like rubies." This house is owned by a very cool woman.

This is gorgeous, even if it's not exactly my style. It's the first home I wish I could see in person. Wonderful job.

Also, all of these amazing Los Feliz tours are making me reconsider my usual distaste for LA!

What a glorious home. Beautiful, striking and cozy. I imagine friends who visit linger for a LONG time.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful house tour with so much red accenting the black and white in a cozy way. Love, love, love your place. My favorite combination of books, a white kitchen, and color.

wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

I can't get enough- looking back over the House Tour pictures reveals new surprises. There is a lot of great ideas here and I particularly like the use of black and the high impact of the wallpaper.

The kitchen? Amazeballs. Just amazeballs.

Thank you for sharing your home- and I will be visiting your blog.

I'm a designer and long time follower of Apartment Therapy, this is HANDS DOWN my absolute favourite home tour!, it's obvious that this is the home of two VERY creative people. Well done and thanks for sharing!

Beautiful tour! One of the best and most unique ones I've seen. It's personal, It's grande, very creative but, best of all, livable! It's so mature for such a young couple! I agree with one of the above posts; If I lived there, I would never, ever, leave! Thank you for this wonderful tour.

That needlepoint slays me.

I'm speechless.
I want to sit and STUDY every photo...the most aspirational, creative, unpredictable, tasteful, personal tours.
Just lovely. Thank you for sharing. Must check out the blog.

Great house tour! I am inspired to add some black to my walls!

Beautiful place. It's the right balance between carefully curated and cozy.

Finally AT shows us design. The home owners really have a great sense of style; not just the cookie cutter nonsense AT typically features.

The dining room table is the most beautiful piece of furniture I have ever seen. Does anyone have information on it? What is the source?

Bravo! If I were recovering from a heartache, I would want check myself into your home.

You have somehow taken a whole lot of things I don't usually like and put them together in such a brilliant way that I absolutely love your house! A job well done.

Wow. I love so many things---that gorgeous entryway wallpaper, the window seating, all of the comfortable chairs, and the pool! What a home.

THIS IS AN ASS-KICKING HOUSE! Unlike other note-worthy followers, I'm not a minimalist...this tour was outstanding. Every inch of the house, but the books, books,
books...thank you for posting. You have also encouraged me to explore wallpaper in
our home.

love the details - the perky boosies in the art in the art, buddha with elephant necklace.

I'd love the AGA, the countertops and the oil painting in the black room please! :)

Thank you for sharing with AT readers....

In my mind... this is what heaven looks like. Love the bold selection of patterns and hand stitched signage. Extremely creative from head to toe. "Raise boys and girls the same way." Hilarious!

Crazy good!

So great! Love this house and your whimsical design! This is such a cozy house and well designed!

Well done and thank you for sharing!

Fantastic! One of the best tours ever.

!! Beside myself...can't get enough of the entry hall wallpaper..........I'm overtaken......from Massachusetts: IT'S WICKED KILLAH!! A truly beautiful home you've made!

I love this house...the way all the books are displayed makes it feel like a real home.

Lisa is brilliant and bold. I love reading these comments.
I hope she will write a book. I would be first in line.
pve

YES! This is my kind of home. Great job to the owners and thanks to AT for finding and posting!! Awesome awesome.

Great tour. I much prefer homes like this one that have plentiful originality than some I see on AT that seem like variations of each other.

WOW...I could spend HOURS, well, DAYS, with all those books! I love the contrast of the dark bookcases with the colorful books inside. The tree trunk table is amazing. A beautiful home from a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing!

This is one of the only times I like wallpaper, and I love it here, in the entryway. I can't find it on Walnut Wallpaper, grrrr.

Love the whole tour, love that it's unique.

Incredible home (not just a house).

I only paused at the canvas above the mantle.

Love the lemon tree on the front of the house and the wallpaper in the front hall...

Lovely! Who did your awnings, and where did you find your farmhouse door? A fellow Los Felizer (?) would really appreciate it.

Love this!!!!

Your house is perfect, especially the horseshoe bench and library wallpaper. I keep up with your blog and especially loved that trip you made to The Shetland Islands. You guys are the smallest coolest family.

I really enjoyed looking through this house tour. I appreciated the uniqueness of it. Thanks for the opportunity. I saw a lot of tasteful details. The wallpapers are super. Your little archer is a handsome bugger. Nice work with the lego ship little dude.

my favorite in a long time, so many beautiful things in this home and so well orchestrated (if that's the right word)...really lovely!

Totally pulled it off. I am so jealous of the beautiful office with the viewing couch facing the computer for those hilarious drunk Youtube nights. Great use of blacks.

Hi, Lisa here. Wow, Piero and I are completely OVERWHELMED by all of your lovely and thoughtful comments -- thank you so so much!! Re: the questions asked by some of you, here are the answers:

1. Yes, I did make all the fiber work you see (the embroidered cross-stitch samplers and the "needlepaintings".) You can contact me directly for commissions (see my blog.)

2. Re: the "persian rug" in the kitchen...it's from IKEA. And it goes in the washing machine. :)

3. Yes, the WWII-era bench is indeed made of horseshoes (and it's heavy!) Found it in London at Bermondsey flea market on a rain-soaked morning at 5am.

4. The front hall wallpaper is called "Flowering Quince" and it's made by Cole and Sons.

5. The bookcase wallpaper in the dining room was created by Deborah Bowness and is available on her website (www.deborahbowness.com)

6. The cherrywood dining room table was purchased by my parents in Copenhagen in the '60's -- maybe check midcentury stores for something similar?

7. The awnings were constructed by Superior Awnings (they're great) and the Dutch door we had a carpenter make, but I'm pretty sure you can find standard ones around -- perhaps Home Depot?

Thank you again, everyone.

x/Lisa and Piero

Totally beautiful. So textured and rich in story and drama. I love it And their son is adorable as well. I always love a home with books but this ticks all my boxes. xx

Flowering Quince is by Clarence House
I ADORE your home, Lisa & Piero!

Kate -- You're SO right! (Cole and Son is in our bathroom.) AT editors, can you correct my comments?

WOW!! Wall paper is back in a big way, every bit of it looks amazing...but the cherry blossom in the hall way - BRILLIANT !!! Love it ...

That pendant hanging in the kitchen is pretty "steal-able" as well..

Well done choosing this place...

Anybody who furnishes with books has my love immediately.. but what I really love about this home is that it shines with the personalities and interests of its family. Not just great looking rooms designed as set pieces, but great looking rooms that people use to live in.

Oh, I'm only over in Glendale. Can I come visit you? And steal your stuff?

I would recognize the Bloomsbury style anywhere, first this room with the walpaper
bookshelves is fabulous. It is evident that you are book lovers, we can tell by the way you treat them so well. Such a beautiful lived in house with a real soul. Thanks Lisa and Piero, your home is a real treat.

Lisa's home is as warm and stylish as she is! Love so many of the little details -like the hall bench that JUST fits in the hook of the stair tread and closet wall. Mostly, I love that she just went for it, to h*ll with LA style, and did her own thing and it looks magnificent.

I adore the wallpapers! They have the most wonderful subtle texture. <3

WOW absolutely beautiful. Agreed, best house tour yet.

Your house is SICK!

Love all the books!
