Barbara's place is so great it almost seems like there might have been some magic involved in creating it. The space itself is clean, bright, well decorated. It feels homey and warm, without feeling stagnant or too lived in. Barbara's home is a case study in what it looks like to maximize space through thoughtful and efficient design. Stepping into the backyard, and you are greeted with a suburban oasis- a lushly adorned pool and spa set against the backdrop of the Angeles National Forest mountain ranges. It made for a great weekend away from the din of the city. We will definitely be back the next time LA calls our name.
