“The new owners of this Beverly Hills estate have a very distinct aesthetic sense and were involved in the design process that evokes the Old Hollywood style,” Lafia says. “We were able to salvage an antique rose garden and some of the original light fixtures that reflect the feel of the 1920s, and incorporate some of the owners’ pieces.”

Working with the original layout, which includes four large wings, the design duo began by finishing all of the interior walls in ivory Venetian plaster. Next, they mixed new and custom-designed pieces with antiques in gold and celadon hues to give the interior an eclectic, Old World look with a fresh feel.
