Q: What’s your favorite thing about being a gallery owner?

A: The best thing about this business is developing meaningful relationships with your artists and collectors. Artists become your friends and collaborators who are constantly inspiring you. And mounting a beautiful show of their work can be thrilling. Helping young collectors build their collections from the ground is incredibly gratifying as well.

Q: Any tips for first time art buyers?

A: Go with your first instinct and buy what you like. First time buyers shouldn’t worry about the investment side of collecting. Develop the passion first.

Q: What made you decide to buy this house?

A: We live in a historical preservation district of Hollywood called Spaulding Square, and you feel a real sense of history in the
neighborhood. We also fell in love with the bungalow feel of the house and the citrus trees in the backyard. And the red door sealed the deal.

Q: Could you describe the design style you used in your house?

A: Our style is pretty eclectic. A little Mid Century, a little English Library with some Moroccan touches too. The most important thing is that it feels cozy. We’re in the process of trying to make it even cozier.

Q: What’s the next project for your house?

A: The backyard! We’re creating a firepit and lots of seating areas for outdoor entertaining. That way, we can host intimate dinners for our artists and collectors.

Hi,
What a great home you guys have.Really like the clean airy feel of the rooms,the hardwood floors,and your eclectic style through out your home,very personal.I really like the older established neighborhoods,there is just a warm/homey feel of years past when life was a little less complex.

Thanks so much for bringing us the double sneak peak! And especially for representing more of the art world (I’m looking forward to checking out the gallery space).

love this! you can tell they’re in the art world becuase they really understand the importance of white space and editing, but it still feels so homey and warm.

Wow, love the house, especially the front door. I would never consider moving to LA but if I could have that house with that door, I’d move in a heartbeat!

What a wonderful house! I’m so impressed with what they’ve done. I’ve been looking for a fixture exactly like the one they used on their tub. Anyone know where it might have come from?

Such a lovely home! Well designed without being over-thought. Very stylish while personal, warm, and inviting.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! Kat, I got the light fixture from this website: http://www.e-mosaik.com/. Glad you like it!

Heather, Thanks so much for the information. I used the wrong term (love the light fixture too though). Any chance you could share where you found the faucet for your tub?
