A mix-and-match of old and new, luxurious and practical in this 1937 Beverly Hills apartment in a heritage building that was commissioned by Paramount Studios and was home to Dominick Dunne, Liz Taylor, Nick Cassavetes, and many others. This family home is a blend of elements, from an Indian door and an old railway clock transformed into coffee tables, to an abstract expressionist painting dividing spaces, and African masks and unique finds coexisting harmoniously in an unexpected, eclectic design.(Photography by Michael Asgian)

A complete remodel of a Los Angeles condo, celebrating the individual style of the owner’s French heritage, and her love of mythology. The visitor’s gaze is guided between the open floor and the barn ceiling of this flowing space.

Along the way, it encounters soft hues of green and red (a favorite color of French Country decoration); brightly toned European oak flooring; hand-painted kitchen cabinets echoing the golden age of 18th C. painted furniture; rich tapestry and Toile de Jouy with patterns depicting aristocratic as well as peasant life; and finally the gods - a reclining Buddha, a flute-playing Krishna, and Ceres (the Roman goddess of abundance and fertility), communicating in their sacred language.
