""We walked in and were like, 'Whoa, is this our next move?'" Moore says, curled up on the velvet sofa in the living room, with a five-year odyssey of renovating and re-building behind her. "I immediately called our architect Emily Farnham and was like, 'Is this too crazy? Too pie-in-the-sky?' She walked around and said, 'Nope. This is a lot, but we can do it.'""
"They bought the ramshackle property, which had a mismatched kitchen renovation, a coyote den in the yard, a transplanted early 1900s Victorian-style guesthouse out back, and an air of faded Grey Gardens glamour. Then they reunited Farnham, interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel, and the landscape design firm Terremoto, the same team that transformed Moore's bright and sleek midcentury in Pasadena, featured on AD's cover in July 2018."
""Mandy wanted color and pattern and soft edges. Her taste is sophisticated but playful. They're both so creative. I like to say it's a very grown-up house but with a little sparkle," says Samuel. "They let us run, creatively." By the time they moved in in November 2023 they were parents of two toddler boys, Gus and Ozzie, with a baby on the way."
Moore and Goldsmith discovered and purchased a ramshackle 1931 Spanish Colonial Revival in June 2020. The property included a mismatched kitchen, a coyote den, and a transplanted early 1900s Victorian-style guesthouse. Architect Emily Farnham, interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel, and landscape firm Terremoto reunited to undertake a full renovation. The back house became a music studio for Goldsmith while the main house was remodeled for family living. Renovations introduced velvety plaster walls, grand arches, an expanded kitchen, restored stenciled beams in the barrel-vaulted living room, and a new ADU with a complementary garage. Interiors feature bold tile, deep color, custom textiles, and curvilinear furniture; the family moved in November 2023 with two toddlers and another child expected.
