The sitting lounge in the primary bedroom is the perfect blend of masculine and feminine details. Plush pink velvet chaise lounges mixed with charcoal accents are perfect for relaxing with a book. We set the ceiling paneling on a herringbone pattern to add a layer of drama and wallpapered the back of the bookcases for a subtle moody effect.

Jessica Brende and her partner Annsley Marshall shared some of the personality they created recently at a beautiful Palos Verdes Estates home located on Via Mirada. This home is filled with personal touches that meet the needs and taste of its owners, a young and inviting family that fills their home with friends, music and conversation. Each design detail was carefully chosen to reflect an organically glamorous personality.

Hanging some greenery in a bathroom gives an instant fresh update to help create a serene, spa-like environment.
Not all ceilings need to (or should) be white! Go with a bold color in a small space for a super dramatic effect.

Jessica and Annsley share some tips to infuse your home with special touches.
• Make sure all walls and ceilings have texture or pattern to create the perfect backdrop for a unique environment.
• Color and pattern can be a big commitment, so pair it with soft, calmer accents.
• Don’t be afraid to LOVE something. If you love it— find a place for it!
• Wall art doesn’t need to be framed. It can be your personal collections, instruments or more. Don’t let your favorite pieces hide behind a door.
• Greens and blues are considered neutrals if using soft tones. Think of the natural backdrop of our surroundings—green landscape and blue water and skies.

Closets can be the most personal space in the home, and adding wallpaper to this ceiling keeps things creative and stylish.

The silver metallic threads woven into the celadon grasscloth creates the perfect backdrop for a room filled with music. The guitars were the starting point in the space and quickly landed as art on the walls. The mix of clamshell, natural woods and modern patterns create the perfect space for a family jam session! Your living room doesn’t need to be serious- make your space work for you.
