"A colorful, sun-drenched kitchen in Mount Washington that connects to nature Priced out of much of Los Angeles, architect Lindsay Sheron and her husband Daniel bought a vacant hillside lot in Mount Washington and proceeded to design and build their own home. Working over a three-year period, the couple served as general contractors and did much of the work themselves."
"The kitchen is a standout, featuring bright green custom kitchen cabinets painted Raw Tomatillo by Farrow & Ball, which add vitality to the single-wall layout. A custom metal hood by Practice Fabrication, powder-coated the color of a Pixie tangerine, adds a sense of fun. "I wanted our house to feel really warm and bring nature inside," says Lindsay, referring to the Western hemlock tongue and groove planks that she and Daniel installed on the walls and ceilings. "Wood does the heavy lifting in accomplishing that.""
Homes across Los Angeles ranged from Midcentury Modern landmarks by Edward Fickett and Raphael Soriano to modest apartments furnished with Facebook Marketplace finds. The most resonant rooms emphasized personality, warmth and individual stories rather than high-end finishes. An architect couple in Mount Washington designed and built a hillside home, creating a vibrant kitchen with Raw Tomatillo cabinets and a Pixie tangerine metal hood, and installed Western hemlock planks to blur interior and nature. A Whitley Heights penthouse with towering ceilings, hand-carved beams and arched bookcases became meaningful through secondhand furnishings and the energy of its inhabitation.
