Before & After – Singer Mayer Hawthorne transformed his Spanish-style LA bungalow into a rustic boho haven

A kitchen with marble tiled flooring, wooden cabinetry, and a pink backsplash

Nestled in the artsy enclave of LA's Los Feliz hills lies the Spanish-style bungalow belonging to Drew Cohen, better known by his stage name Mayer Hawthorne. On top of his many accolades, the Grammy-nominated singer, DJ, and producer can now add the title of home renovator to the list, having transformed his quaint home into a calming modern rustic retreat.

Before Drew and his wife Karina set to work on the project, the home lacked any notable character or personality. Despite the modern styling and tasteful decor, there were many dated features, including kitsch, Miami-Vice-looking light fixtures that looked totally out of place. However, there were also beautiful original features that the couple wanted to retain, too. Originally built in 1937, the property has characteristic Deco and Spanish influences, and those inspired Drew and Karina's vision for their new home.
