\u201cI thought, I\u2019m going to renovate it,\u201d she decided. And then she get inspired in spanish revival roots.<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/p>\n

The almost 1400-square-foot duplex is situated on a quiet street, lined with Italian pine trees, which adds to its charm. They have a nice neighborhood and people seem happy to live there, according to Sherwood. From the start Sherwood set out to uncover the integrity of the home\u2019s original architecture, some of which, upon further inspection, remained standing. The fireplace, for instance, which was covered by \u201ccrazy paneling\u201d and ornate columns, revealed a quintessential revival-style hearth.<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/p>\n

Where the architecture of the space endures its 20th century origins, the playful potpourri of furniture and accessories exemplifies Sherwood\u2019s collected design sense. \u201cWhen I first moved in, my grandmother was moving out of a giant Colonial house in Beverly Hills that she had lived in for 50 years,\u201d explained the designer, who ended up with her impressive collection of English Regency antiques, Persian rugs, and vintage artwork.<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/p>\n

In keeping with the home\u2019s natural airiness, provided largely in part by its numerous windows, the designer covered the lightly-textured walls in muted tones, for example Farrow & Ball\u2019s Elephant\u2019s Breath in the living room and China White from Benjamin Moore in the kitchen and bathroom. \u201cI wanted it to have a slightly adobe feel,\u201d said Sherwood. The oak flooring was original to the home but had yellowed over time, so she bleached it. Sherwood, who typically eschews such trends, noted, \u201cIn this space, that doesn\u2019t feel trendy architecturally, the bleached floor is actually a nice contrast.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/p>\n

The master bathroom is perhaps the most emphatic reincarnation to the home\u2019s original style. Sherwood left an original arch over the bathtub and kept the shower petite which was typical of the time period. A vintage combination of mint green and black tiles cover the walls, accentuated by a nostalgic diamond pattern.<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/p>\n

Before Sherwood points out the appointed Restoration Hardware sconces and mirrors, visitors often assume the bathroom remained untouched during the renovation, which, despite initial hesitation, the designer feels is a compliment. \u201cI like to think of the design as a reduced version of what would\u2019ve been here,\u201d she concluded, \u201cJust simplified.\u201d<\/p>\n
