Welcome to #JungalowByTheMountain! I’m excited to ask you into our dwelling at present and take you a bit behind the scenes and share inspiration and sources into our new dwelling.

The Entryway

First up — the entryway to our dwelling. (Above and beneath).  I needed our entryway to really feel heat, inviting and completely satisfied, so we painted it a mellow yellow (Farrow & Ball, Citron). I  wish to have welcoming symbols at our entryway so that you’ll discover arms waving hey and goodbye, angels, hearts, and lovebirds all gathering right here.

The classic console desk (c. 1980’s) was one of many first items I bought for the home. I discovered it on Chairish.com and I used to be drawn to its strains and chunk — additionally, the colour was completely pink and ended up informing the colours of the entire room.

The arched area of interest got here with the house (humorous as a result of in our final dwelling, we created a number of arched niches that look similar to this one). We had been impressed by our journey to Jaipur, India to color the area of interest yellow and so as to add the yellow stripe across the room.

Paint Colours:
Backside half: Farrow & Ball Ointment Pink
Higher half: Farrow & Ball Pink Floor
Yellow Stripe and in area of interest: Farrow & Ball Citron

I had been accumulating the little brass Moroccan mirrors for years and on a whim, determined to construct a gallery with them across the area of interest. Placing them up was enjoyable — I attempted to create a non-symmetrical/ symmetrical scenario. How did I do? 😛 You could find these mirrors on Etsy do you have to wish to replicate the look.

The Dwelling Room

Our front room is de facto the guts of our dwelling. One among my intentions for this dwelling was to entertain lots, so I actually needed an area the place folks might collect, play video games, dance, sing, and curl up by the hearth–however this room additionally wanted to perform effectively for me and my little household too — I needed it to be cozy for film nights, charades or studying a great guide.  We added the bookcases that flank the hearth, in addition to the sunshine fixtures and the paint, however the remainder of the room stayed just about as we discovered it. The couch (which is among the most stunning and most comfortable sofas I’ve ever had, is the Paloma Couch in Maestro Loden Cloth by my buddies at Clad Dwelling.

The Lanai

Off the lounge is among the most magical areas in the home, the lanai — which I actually needed to make really feel like an indoor backyard someplace within the Mediterranean. The factor that I’m most happy with on this house is the ground tile sample. The tile is one which I’ve cherished for years and years, a standard Moroccan sample that I received from Badia Design, a tremendous Moroccan import retailer in North Hollywood. We took a leap of religion and had the tile put in in a non-traditional, random sample, and it makes me completely satisfied each single time I move over it. So, so wild. 

Paint Coloration:
Farrow & Ball Terre D’Egypte

The Kitchen

And into our kitchen!! After residing for nearly a whole 12 months with a makeshift kitchen arrange within the lanai — doing dishes in an outside sink and “cooking” with countertop home equipment– I don’t take this kitchen with no consideration! I’m obsessed! And I’m having fun with cooking like by no means earlier than.

The point of interest of our kitchen must be this space with the GE Cafe induction vary. We received the induction vary as a result of finally, we hope to have the entire dwelling working on photo voltaic with out the necessity for gasoline. (Additionally–aspect be aware — there may be an ordinance banning gasoline stoves from all new residential and business constructions to assist cut back dangerous greenhouse gases by 2023 in California, so we figured we’d as effectively get used to cooking on an induction stovetop.) And I’ve to say, to this point I LOVE it. Water boils so shortly on this range, I can steam veggies or boil water for pasta in only a few minutes! Additionally, the stovetop itself doesn’t warmth up once we’re cooking–and since Ida is simply beginning to present curiosity in cooking, it makes me really feel extra relaxed letting her prepare dinner scrambled eggs and issues realizing the stovetop received’t burn her li’l fingers.

The double oven is a vibe. Final week I roasted brussel sprouts and asparagus up high whereas making salmon down beneath. Into it. I selected the white end for the vary in order that it could recall the white {custom} vary hood above it (extra particulars on that beneath) and we went with the Brushed Bronze end on the {hardware} and we have now a complete eclectic, mixed-metal factor happening within the kitchen that I really like. 

I designed the {custom} vary hood and had it constructed by our superior contractors, New Technology Dwelling Enhancements. It’s manufactured from cement and we used the GE vary hood insert for the performance. The tile on the backsplash is Terra Rosa hex Zellige from Zia Tile . I really like the colour variation within the Moroccan tile a lot. We tried to maintain grout strains minimal and used a darker grout that we needed to mix in to the tiles so the eye would stick with the tile, not the grout.

We additionally put in a Kohler pot-filler from the Artifacts assortment. That is the primary time I’ve ever had a pot filler. Whereas at first I actually simply needed it for the seems to be, I’ve been shocked with how a lot I’ve used it — particularly since our sink is kinda from removed from the range.  

The kitchen cupboards are from Reform CPH, from their Foundation assortment. Reform CPH is a Danish firm that started off doing fronts for Ikea cupboards. However now, they create absolutely modular kitchens, and my goodness are they stunning. We’re fortunate that Reform CPH has a showroom right here in Los Angeles, so we received an opportunity to go take a look at all of the types and supplies earlier than touchdown on the Foundation assortment. I really like the pure wooden — it provides a heat earthiness to the kitchen, however the clear strains are a pleasant juxtaposition to the weather within the kitchen which might be extra handmade and a bit wonkier, just like the vary hood and the tile. Additionally there are a variety of actually nice little design parts with hidden performance, like pull-out organizers, cutlery trays and waste sorting options constructed into the cabinetry.

We used a Crema Marfil Marble for the counters. And whereas I really like, love, love the colour and the look, everybody warned me ready marble counter tops and I didn’t pay attention. It does stain VERY simply and there are sure folks in my family who will not be thrilled about that. SO I feel if I might return in time, that’s one factor I’d do in another way. As a lot as I really like the cream colour, I feel I’d return to Silestone.

I knew I needed this room to harness a ton of pure mild, so we had two Velux Skylights put in a WOW!! Did they make a distinction!! I really like that I can search for via them and see the Italian Cypress tree that’s in our entrance yard. They open up the house immensely and add recent air to this house too. Additionally, these skylights are good and shut robotically if it begins to rain — I imply…fairly wonderful expertise. They skylights additionally make it simple to maintain numerous completely satisfied vegetation in right here – which y’all know is essential to me!

Hello!

On this aspect of the kitchen, we have now our built-in microwave/convection oven (love that it has each features!), our GE Cafe fridge and many house for meals storage within the Reform CPH cupboards.

Over right here we created slightly espresso/tea bar that I actually love. We used the identical backsplash tile within the little alcove to tie it again to the wall behind the vary. It has been my dream to have a devoted spot for espresso and tea since I lived in Switzerland after I was a teen, so this space brings me a variety of pleasure. I additionally actually love our countertop espresso maker from GE Cafe. It’s so quick and simple and the espresso comes out good each time. We used additional wooden from the Reform CPH cupboards on this aspect to create the open shelving. The cupboards are completely modular and the Reform CPH crew was nice at serving to us to create the proper configuration for our wants and desires. I really like the mixture of open and hidden storage that we have now right here.

And that brings us to our eating room. On this room, we had been in a position to restore the unique hardwood flooring, and added that in-built bookshelf.

We added a powder room the place there wasn’t one beforehand. In our final dwelling, to get to a restroom you needed to move via a bed room. The unique configuration of this dwelling had the identical factor happening, so I actually needed so as to add a powder room for friends to make use of with out going via our bed room.  I discovered this classic dry sink earlier than we even had the floorplans accomplished for the rework, so should you’re questioning the way it suits so exactly in right here, we actually constructed the room to suit the dry sink! Ha! Our contractors lower a gap within the marble for the sink, and we put in the gorgeous Spun Glass Vessel Rest room Sink by Kohler in Translucent Dew and paired it with the Artifacts Faucet, additionally from Kohler. We then put in our Phoenix wallpaper in Jungle so as to add a little bit of luxe jungalicioussness to this house. The wallpaper is a complete vibe all by itself so I made a decision to maintain the extra equipment graphic and monochromatic. I went with an inlay mirror I discovered on Etsy.

The solar wall sconce was one other classic discover. The striped cup/vase is a part of our Kaya assortment at Jungalow.

Main Bed room

And that takes us into our bed room…

This can be my favourite room in the home (OK I really like all of the rooms…). However actually even earlier than we painted or did something in any respect this room was actually particular. I really like the mild slope within the ceiling, and the verdant views from the home windows — and the hearth (!!!)
The rug is from my Jamila Assortment with Loloi Rugs, the inexperienced quilt is our Sol quilt in sage from Jungalow.

We painted this room in a teal limewash from Sydney Harbor Paint Co. Our painter put the paint on the partitions with a giant brush, as a substitute of a curler to get all of this water-like texture. At first, I used to be on the fence about portray the ceiling or leaving it white. Finally I’m proud of the choice to color the entire room as a result of it simply type of envelops you and actually creates a complete feeling that’s so bizarre and funky and particular.  I actually, actually love waking up in right here.

The headboard and nightstands are classic. The pillow is Justina X Loloi. The palm tree lamps are from HK Dwelling.

Main Rest room

And that brings us to our main lavatory. Ooof I really like this house a lot. I feel we tried out about 100 configurations for this room earlier than touchdown on this format. I used to be attempting to suit lots in!  We mixed two small loos to create this huge lavatory and the powder room. We additionally removed the drop ceiling on this space of the home, and although it took endlessly to get the permits, it was effectively value it. It makes the sapce really feel twice as giant.

On this house, I actually needed a double bathtub, a stand-alone bathe, and a non-public stall for the bathroom. The factor that I had to surrender was the double self-importance — as a result of all the things was merely not becoming. I’m proud of our selections although. This house is actually my at-home spa and being in right here is enjoyable, enjoyable and invigorating.

Sure, there’s a skylight within the bathe.
