Brentwood

Brentwood

Situated on a stunning property overlooking the ocean, this home, for jewelry designer Nancy Newberg and her husband Bruce, is a luxurious contemporary reinterpretation of the Spanish Colonial Revival style.

To fill the spacious rooms of architect’s Ron Radziner’s new design, Nancy and I traveled to Europe, sourcing pieces from Paris and Parma. I also had many pieces of furniture custom-made in my studio, including the lighting, and found others in my favorite shops in Los Angeles.

Paint was used judiciously and to excellent effect, and while I didn’t completely avoid my signature layering of fabrics, I kept mostly to neutral tones and pared-back window treatments, many of which were sourced from Otis Textiles.

The result is a study in warmth, history, and intimacy.

A Life In Design: Celebrating 30 Years of Interiors

By Kathryn M. Ireland | CICO Books, 2023

Organized by location, the book takes an overview of the interiors Kathryn has designed over the past 30 years, including her own homes in Los Angeles, London, and the south of France. She shares her story of a life in design, from the early days in LA, where she started her career by decorating a home for Steve Martin, to designing houses all over the world, from California to the Cotswolds. This lavishly illustrated deep dive into Kathryn’s work is paired with a wealth of chatty, informal, and invaluable advice on creating comfort, adding color, finding and hanging art, designing great spaces for entertaining, and the design rules she brings to every project. A Life in Design is full of character and charm, just like Kathryn herself.
