California Farmhouse with Garden
When it comes to design, Nancy Fishelson has a knack for knowing what works. And nowhere is the designer's instinctive and inventive approach more apparent than at her Mar Vista, Calif., house. Nancy fell for the quaint Los Angeles neighborhood, but the 1940s house she bought needed to be almost completely rebuilt.
Wood Countertops
She seized the opportunity to create an open plan with high ceilings and plenty of light. To put her own stamp on the new interior, Nancy added plenty of unexpected old-house details such as weathered outdoor bricks in front of the hearth and kitchen countertops crafted from salvaged wood floors.
Neutral Vintage Living Room
Nancy also found imaginative applications for vintage finds--she turned a 19th-century wooden tub into a coffee table and utilized an antique checkerboard as a unique piece of art.
White & Wood Bathroom
Throughout the house, Nancy embraces contrasts via a black-and-white color palette and pairing wood furniture with the softness of upholstered pieces in cream homespun, plenty of fresh flowers, and vintage linens.
