I’m a little late on today’s Room of the Week. I almost forgot about it!
I think I’m seeing a theme here…
Funny how our tastes evolve isn’t it? I think my pendulum has swung from Hollywood Regency to … what do you call this? Designers? I hate the term ‘ethnic’… it’s more like worldly chic. A bit of a moorish influence, but done lightly. Well, whatever it is, it’s calling to my senses. Tapestry cushions on the couch. Amazing tiles (they almost look Greek to me?). Love the pair of chairs too. And the lamps? They almost look craftsman to me (strange). I think what I like most of all is the sunshine pouring through what I imagine to be a huge window or french doors. I’m ready to curl up and take a nap on that sofa right now.
I love it! Where did you find it, wondering if there were more photos of this great space. It’s beautiful.
whoops! forgot the photo credit, and just added it to the post
it’s from marie claire maison, but i don’t believe there were any more photos of the space (unfortunately!)
Isn’t this one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s LA area houses? Hollyhock? The tiles are a giveaway. I think he was influenced more by Aztec/Mayan/Incan cultures for the tiles.
oh! good point! i will have to do a little more research and see what i can find. the tiles definitely look more like the mayan/incan culture. thanks for the tip!
Yes this is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations – Ennis House 1924 – Mayan Revival. It is the most magnificant of his textile block houses.
thank you anon! i’m glad i have some architectural experts for readers ~ i didn’t recognize this house of it context on the marie claire site. i will have to dig for more photos!
