<p>This home features an open concept layout. The owner loves a clean and contemporary design with a touch of traditional. Are you ready to see how we transform this space? </p>
<p></p>

<h1>Warming Up The Space</h1>
<p>We always start with our rugs! This rug from India was the perfect way to bring in definition to the room, bring in a little warmth, and bring in a touch of traditional. </p>
<p>We designed this room around the colors of the rug. We loved the subtle warm tones and the different shades of blues and grays for the space. We kept in mind the colorful living room and the accents we were going to use in the foyer entrance. This helps the entire space feel separate, but cohesive. </p>

<p>This room is super long and super tall. We picked some big furniture to fill up the space, but still wanted it to feel airy. The large buffet is a little over 4.5ft tall and is a traditional piece with so much details. We will be adding a little bit of a modern touch to the piece up next. </p>
<p>The modern chairs help with the airy feel and the gold accents play off the chandelier and some of the pieces in the foyer. </p>
<p>We also love bringing in all of the pieces for the room into the space. Usually we bring in several options for accessories, pillows, art, arrangements, and having them in the space helps see which ones will bring the space to life. </p>

<h1>Bringing It Together</h1>
<p>The table we chose for the space is traditional and modern with a gold accent. We love playing with heights in the room, especially when there’s a super tall piece involved. In this case we pulled from the rug to provide an accent with the taller end chairs. These are also in a crushed  velvet fabric to add some texture to the room. </p>

<p>If you look closely, we also added a little more color by pulling those dark tones from the rug via lumbar pillows in each end chair. Don’t they make the space feel a little more cozy? </p>

<p>The long table and tall ceilings called for a substantial center piece. We tied in a little antique bronzed vase with lots of orchids to bring both traditional and freshness into the spave</p>

<p>The buffet got a little lift with some acrylic door knobs and a modern take on a traditional lamp. There’s so much space on the buffet top and lots of storage inside - four shelves to display so much. </p>
<p>See how we finished off the space in the next slide.</p>

<p>So we sacrificed a huge place and being in the city for much cheaper rent and tiny space living. But what we GAINED in return was awesome- a fresh farmer’s market four blocks away, gorgeous woodland running trails in Prospect Park, more indie coffee shops than I could count, and a friendly community. </p>

<h2>Signs that your plant needs water are:</h2>
<p>1.	The soil is dry</p>
<p>2.	The pot is light</p>
<p>3.	The plant is drooping</p>
<p>4. The leaves are wrinkle</p>
<p>6.	The leaf tips are browning</p>
<p>7.	The plant isn’t growing</p>

<h2>Your plant’s soil is dry</h2>
<p>I know I talk about moisture metres all the time, but they’re the best way for beginners to learn when to water their plants.</p>
<p>It would be nice if there was a universal number to water at, but different plants come from different parts of the world, and they need watering at different stages of dryness.</p>
<p>As a general rule of thumb:</p>
<p>•	Water cacti and succulents when the moisture metre reads 1</p>
<p>•	Alocasia and anthurium – 2-3</p>
<p>•	Pothos, philodendron, monstera, syngonium, aglaonema – 2</p>
<p>•	Ferns and Calathea – 3-4</p>
<p>After you become more acquainted with your plants you’ll rely less on your moisture metre, but they’re a godsend for beginners. You can buy them from Amazon for under a tenner.</p>
<h2>Your plant feels light</h2>
<p>Water is heavy, so there’s a distinct weight difference between wet and dry plants. After a while you’ll be able to tell if a plant needs watering just by picking it up. I know, I know, I was sceptical too, but it’s TRUE.</p>

<h2>Your plant is drooping</h2>
<p>If your plant is limp, a bit pale and drooping, that points to overwatering, but a plant that looks sad in posture only is probably thirsty. Again, moisture metres are invaluable for figuring out which it is, especially if you’re new to plant parenthood.</p>
<p>Some plants are renowned for being overdramatic when it comes to drooping. Peace lilies especially – you don’t need a moisture metre for these, just water as soon as they start to droop.</p>

<h2>Your plant’s leaves are wrinkled</h2>
<p>Plants with succulent leaves, such as hoya and er, succulents have wrinkled leaves in times of drought. Pothos and philodrendron also get wrinkly leaves too.</p>
<p>If you’re not using a moisture metre and you don’t have the pot weight think sussed yet, it’s advised that you wait until the leaves are wrinkled before you water.</p>
<p>Plants with succulent leaves tend to be far more tolerant of underwatering than overwatering, so waiting til their leaves are wrinkled can be good way of ensuring you’re not giving them too much water.</p>
<p>The leaves will plump up again pretty quickly.</p>
<h2>Brown tips on the ends of the leaves</h2>
<p>Crispy tips is often a sign of lack of water, but it’s more likely to be a sign that your plant needs higher humidity.</p>

<h2>Your plant isn’t growing</h2>
<p>In order for plants to thrive, they need plenty of light and water. Plants like succulents and cacti have a surprising capacity for water, especially in summer.</p>
<p>Whilst it’s true they like their soil to dry out completely, this may only take a couple of weeks when the weather is hot. It’s also important to give your plant enough water.</p>
<p>Make sure that the plant is thoroughly soaked, and that water is coming through the drainage hole. Remove any excess water from the saucer or drip tray, and repeat every time the soil is completely dry.</p>
<p>Succulents could probably survive being watered every other month and not show any ill effects, but once you start watering them more often, you’ll notice them growing much more quickly.</p>

Los Angeles

<h1>The Sheats-Goldstein Residence</h1>
<p>As an iconic testament to the 1960’s John Lautner’s, the Sheats-Goldstein Residence has become a staple among the curvy ascent to the Los Angeles hills.</p>
<p>The estate had become a fluent mixture of inch by inch perfection thanks to the 15 year collaboration from architect John Lautner and current house resident, James Goldstein.</p>
<p>This magnificent piece of architectural styling has become a near hearted piece of influence to my own work.</p>
