Our 10 Favorite California Homes By: Amy Azzarito

10_great_ca_homes

Even though I now call Brooklyn home, I have a soft spot in my heart for the architecture of my birth state. I love the tiny beach bungalows, the ranch homes in South California, the Victorian apartments of San Francisco and the Spanish-style architecture throughout the state. There is just something about the quality of the light that makes even the tiniest home feel special. Living is a casual, outdoors/indoors prospect and that extends to the decoration of the homes. I love the bright, happy and relaxed feeling in these homes from the Golden State -Amy

1Simone-500x749

Image above: Mauve might seem like a risky color for a dining room, but in this Los Angeles home, it makes the mid-century furniture feel earthy and warm. The hue also hightlights the focal point of the room – the painting by Frohawk Two Feathers. See the full home tour here.
