The very best art/fashion/style has stress– a push and pull in between textures, colors, and shapes. This current job by a Remodelista favorite, LA-based Reath Style, has that desired stress in spades. It is a modest mobile home, however sited in a special Malibu Beach community. It feels younger yet worldly. It juxtaposes mournful, autumnal colors with more spring-like lavenders and greens. It puts classic rattan stools beside a delicious, color-blocked velour sectional.
And all of it in some way works. “I’m the happiest woman on the planet when I’m here,” states Sofie Howard, a picture manufacturer who has actually worked for prominent customers like Nike and Beats by Dre. Long time buddy and Reath creator Frances Merrill had actually currently worked her magic on Sofie’s previous 2 homes (among which was a smaller sized mobile home in the very same popular trailer park neighborhood of Paradise Cove), so Sofie understood she might trust her to renovate her beach shack– however make it style.
The entire job was smooth–” When the trust is currently developed, it actually flies,” states Frances– however getting that simple and easy appearance takes effort. The secret? “Test, test, test, test once again. And after that make a leap.”
