Anna Furman's 1912 Craftsman bungalow is a prime example of how historic homes can be beautifully reimagined without losing their soul. Architect Barbara Bestor transformed the space using honey-toned plywood for warmth, creating an airy environment with a vaulted ceiling. Furman treasures the serene oasis this home offers amidst urban life, integrating family heirlooms like a quilt from her great-grandfather into the decor, emphasizing the importance of personal history in creating a meaningful home.
Historic homes often lose their charm when they're remodeled-but Anna Furman's 1912 Craftsman bungalow was enhanced by the architect who reimagined it for modern living.
Especially in LA, old houses are either gut-renovated to hell in a soulless, sterile way or they're falling apart at the seams.
I wanted to find a home that would feel like a little oasis-a calm, earthy place that's still in the middle of the city.
It's these anchor pieces in my house that are connected to family history.
