An amazing chic and liveable LA home makeover
This amazing makeover is the home of Lisa Ullmann, Executive Producer of The Ricky Gervais show. What started as an Echo Park "diamond in the rough," turned into a multifaceted top-quality gem. The interior design is by LA firm Jonamor Decor
Here are some before/after pics to show you the amazing transformation...
entry before
Entry after -- so chic!
The overall goal was to create a comfortable and relaxing environment that would reflect Lisa's many interests and styles and be welcoming for guests. Having a passion for travel, Lisa wanted to incorporate elements of some of her favorite places around the world that she had visited, specifically Italy, France and India. She wanted her home to be unique, elegant but also “user friendly”.
My favorite transformation - the living room
gorgeous - the jewel tones are really fresh
The dining room
The red is a bit too loud for me personally, but the room is still really intriguing, I like the wallpaper and the Moroccan lanterns
The master bedroom transformation
Many of the central pieces to each room were vintage or purchased at discount prices. Older furniture was re-painted and re-upholstered (a used Crate and Barrel desk painted black, an ottoman from a flea market covered in a funky Indian orange fabric). Lisa not only appreciated vintage items for their price and unique appearance, but felt that buying used items was a “greener” approach. Of all the newly purchased furniture, only the couch, a chair and a bench were “new” items.

As promised - another beautiful book giveaway!
Lucky you guys! I'm reviewing two amazing books recently released by Country Living, Restore. Recycle. Repurpose and Aged to Perfection And one of you will win Aged to Perfection! All you have to do for your chance to win is leave a comment on this post. The chance to enter ends on 12/16, at 5PM EST. I will draw a winner at random and announce the results the next day.
PLEASE leave a way to contact you on your comment-an email address will work, or link your name with a way to contact you.
So, here are some lovely pics from Aged to Perfection which one of you will win. This book is great for the shabby chic and wabi sabi enthusiast. It features many white interiors, wonderful patinas, antiqued linens, and creative texture combination ideas.
The back jacket reads "Create a New 'Old' House. New houses offer modern conveniences, spacious rooms, and efficient infrastructures. Yet they often lack the charm that makes older homes so much more appealing. Now, through hundreds of photographs, ideas, and tips, Aged to Perfection shows how easy it is to give any contemporary home a gracious, rustic feeling."
I adore this living room! Unfortunately my dogs think that they're doing me a favor by letting me sit on "their" couch, and this couch would not be white very long.
Love this chest of drawers.
What a great collection of canisters.
One of the dreamiest bathrooms
Aged to Perfection can be purchased here on Amazon.
The second book is Restore, Recycle, Repurpose. Here's a description: "
I can't get enough of the couch upholstery - the pattern is illustrations of old furniture. You can click on the photo for a closer look.
A good mix of patterns is achieved here through a unified color scheme.
This book also has a great section in the back full of green and eco resources. It can be purchased here on Amazon.
Comment away for your chance to win!
disclosure: I received these books as a sample

The second book is Restore, Recycle, Repurpose. Here's a description: "
Renovation that’s eco-friendly…AND economically smart. From Country Living contributing editor Randy Florke (Your House, Your Home) comes a gorgeous guide to decorating sustainably and inexpensively. Providing inspiration as well as instruction, Florke shows how everyone can achieve a look that’s both harmonious with the environment and beautiful.
Color photographs show examples of rooms, all radiating country charm, created on a budget, and designed with the three “R”s in mind: restore, reuse, and repurpose. Florke clearly explains why going green is so important, how to use what’s already there, find a focus for every space, and determine what makes something environmentally friendly. Anyone hoping to transform a home from ordinary to extraordinary will find eco-friendly, thrifty, and stylish ideas." via Amazon

An eco-friendly, US-made friendly new store with absolutely gorgeous home decor!
I was introduced to this store by the owners and I was really, really impressed when I looked at the website. They obviously have really great taste as anyone can see by their collection of found and vintage pieces - and some of their own designs! (Talented hubby even builds some of the furniture!}
Their philosophy is one I like as well - "We believe that homes should be a cultivation of things you love and need and we take that approach in finding our products. Our focus is on community and sustainability so we try to source as much as possible from small, u.s. companies and many of our furniture pieces are made from salvaged wood or repurposed pieces."
Below I've pulled a few of my favs. They also carry a lot of smaller home goods - candles, pottery, tea towels, etc.
What do you think?
