A glam Hollywood Hills home that somehow manages to also feel down to earth

Usually I hear "Hollywood Hills" and it instantly conjures up images in my head of tacky, over the top glamor, or a super-cold modern house. This house by Nate Berkus Associates surprised me though, because it's rustic touches and happy embracing of color keeps it warm and lovely.

Super cute and charming kitchens...

So not all of these kitchens are tiny cottage nooks, but they aren't the glossy granite and marble monstrosities you'd see in the high-end home decor mags either. Most are modest and give me hope that no matter how small the kitchen in my future rental, I can give it some charm and make it work for me...

Some vintage stools add coziness and floor to ceiling cabinets and creative storage solutions makes this small kitchen clever

Apartment 2 from "2 very chic apartments.."

Now enter sister Victoria's apartment. As you can tell, she's very influenced by the glamor of the 50s and 60s, but with a clean traditional feel as well. I really like her color palettes.


love the chair
