Chris and Amber Earl have only lived in their home for two years, but Chris’ history with the house goes back all the way to his childhood. In the 1940s Chris’ grandparents built this North Hollywood tract home and he spent many a summer playing in the back yard. Now he shares it with his wife Amber, a fashion rep, and together they’ve found a way to transform the space into their own- including a hidden speakeasy that once served as his grandmother’s art studio! Chris works as a wildnerness chef but also loves woodworking and is launching a new furniture line soon. His design and carpentry skills have come in handy at home, where he’s built not only a custom dining table but a bookshelf that doubles as a hidden door to the art-studio-turned-speakeasy the couple uses when friends join them for a meal. Their entire home is full of family details, beautiful travel souvenirs and hand-crafted furniture, all of which seems right in line with the tradition started by Chris’ family. Thanks so much to Chris and Amber for welcoming us into their home and to Denise Bovee and Michelle Mosqueda for the lovely photos! -Amy
Image above: Our bed is the sexiest thing in our house. This king size monstrosity is elegant, yet still masculine. The tapestry and pillow sham were found in Istanbul on our honeymoon.
Image above: This is us sitting on our porch! My sweater is Townsen, my skirt is Parker, and my shoes are LD Tuttle, I work in contemporary fashion in sales and I actually rep Parker and Townsen. Chris’ shirt is Shades of Grey, and his boots are J Shoes.
