Residence: Casa California
Vanity side lights can be charming!
Placing candleabra wall sconces each side of the vanity mirror captures more light and spreads it evenly across your face making it easier to apply makeup. Dimmers allow you to control the drama in the room. Painting a color frame around the mirror also adds charm.

Casa California Challenge:
How to update this lovely Spanish -Style home without losing the 1920’s original charm.
Solution:
Keeping the finishes and colors in tune with the original windows and cabinetry preserves the old world charm inside and out. Walls were carefully colored to maintain the original plaster look with new life. Fabrics, furniture, and accessories were chosen to enhance the Spanish style home.
