Before & After: This Once Dated LA Home is now a Bright, Boho-Style Space Bursting with Character

A modern open plan kitchen with wooden floors and white countertops.

The eclectic neighborhood of Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, is full of sun-soaked homes that offer beautiful vistas of the surrounding hills, and this one is no exception. Having spent many years in disarray, local design and architecture studio Arterberry Cooke wanted to take full advantage of this property's prime location, transforming the once dark and dated home into a contemporary bohemian-inspired space fit for modern family life. 

Renovations like this are no mean feat. Principal designer Barrett and her team reimagined the family home with the help of Chris Williams Construction and Brad Katz Design Construction, taking advantage of the expansive views to open up the connection to nature. The kitchen, entryway, and dining room were all reconfigured to make way for new living and dining spaces, and Barrett also created an addition to the home to further expand the kitchen. The new design offers a playful take on classic California living, with eclectic patterns, textured walls, warm woods, and airy spaces that invite light in.
