After living in the home for a year or so, they found their way to Isla Schmidt of JAC Interiors, who helped establish a modern identity for the home. New whitewashed wide-plank hickory floors, sliding doors and bright furnishings reflect the young couple’s fun personalities, while creating a bright and airy space that allows them to throw open all the doors and windows on a warm Southern California day and just enjoy a home that no longer feels like it’s pretending to be hip.
Working with B&R Creative Builders, Schmidt removed nonstructural beams and the accordion wall to open up the living room. Super White paint by Benjamin Moore went on the walls and ceiling to create a crisp, bright backdrop.
Wide-plank whitewashed hickory floors add to the new airy feel of the room. “It has a beachy vibe, even though we don’t live by the beach,” Barrios says. To keep the open vibe going, Schmidt chose one large chandelier from Moooi instead of using multiple light fixtures on the ceiling.
Funky floral wallpaper covers the entire staircase entry wall. The sofa is a custom piece from a local manufacturer made to fit the room. “We didn’t want anything too matchy-matchy; we wanted it homey and warm, not so stark it doesn’t feel lived in,” Schmidt says.
