A Malibu house...with ocean views...right on the famous Broad Beach. A new home built to look old! Owned and built by antiques afficianado Richard Shapiro, the home is a juxtaposition between old and new... from the purposefully chipped sandstone floors, to the buffed plastered walls, to the floor to ceiling encasement windows, to the modern swooping steel balustrade, this villa on the ocean is meant to look as if it was plucked out of ancient ruins with some very modern touches!

What do you think of this Malibu home? Does the combo of old looking and modern work for you? I happen to adore the courtyard and all of the steel windows and doors!
What do you like?
Happy Monday!

P.S. Sis DS is traveling right now (lucky her). She texted in this photo from Morocco this morning. DS and my mother are touring Medina today and were in Casablanca yesterday. So cool! This photo below is a screen...one that allows women to see out but keeps them hidden from men! So interesting!

P.P.P.S. Oh, did I mention, I'll be in Atlanta next week for the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Mart. Will be showing the COCOCOZY textiles collection at the Christian Mosso Associates Showroom again in Building 1 of the Merchandise Mart on the 9th Floor. Please stop by if you are going to be in Atlanta next week!
P.P.P.S. Also, if you'll be in New York in the middle of August you can catch up with me at the New York International Gift Fair...come by there and say hi and see the collection. This will be my 4th time doing the New York show. I get so nervous and excited about going. I totally stress out trying to remember all of he details. Oy va voy...got to hop on it! Keeping fingers crossed that I'll have a big COCOCOZY related announcement in New York in August...trying to get things in order.
P.P.P.P.S. Hope you are enjoying July so far! :-)

WOW...speechless.
ReplyDeleteFrom the exposed beams to the modern balustrade...the juxtaposition of light and dark, contemporary and traditional, country and beachy...this mix is too too good for words. LOVE how he left all the natural materials so raw and unfinished...turnkey ready! I'd move right in and throw parties every night! Incredible!
