MCALMON HOUSE - DETAILS




Definitely a lot of architectural packed into a small structure. I continue to notice beautiful little compositions everywhere.

Red ceiling is in the master bedroom. Color schemes throughout are by my good friend and genius color consultant Dorian LaPadura. Color is a brick red but seems to change throughout the day and night. The darkness and lightness of the tone get interesting, but the reflectivity against the "atrium white" walls is even more interesting.

Here are a few photos, many more to follow.

"you're not the boss of me" photo show at ok






Opening Saturday July 25 from 4 - 7 pm. An interesting show of photos. Curated by Babbette Hines of "The Found Photo" gallery of vernacular photography.

Women smoking, women dressed as men, women on motorcycles - basically, just women going their own way.

All anonymous, vintage, one-of-a-kind, yet very affordable. If you are in Los Angeles, please drop by.

IN THE HOUSE - AT LAST





Mcalmon House - Ready for habitation. Carpet in. Original dining table and chairs, refinished and in. Built-ins - stripped and stained. Most of the windows working beautifully.

Still a fair amount to do, but nothing that can't wait until next year.
