Before & After: A Dated LA House Becomes A Light & Airy Family Home
Why, hello there! I’m in Landskrona today filming and its BAKING (by Sweden standards at least) – but since the film is about natural light, it’s all good! I can’t wait to share the result with you soon. In the meantime, I thought I’d stop by to share the beautiful home of Molly Madfis. A perfect blend of amber, caramel, cream and white, Molly’s style appears completely effortless. But just one glance at the before pictures and you’ll see how much effort has gone into making this beautiful home. Originally from Massachusetts, Molly is a work-at-home Mum and lives in LA with her husband Gideon, son Arlo and their three cats Bodhi, Lucy and Rocky. Molly frequently shares pictures of their home on instagram and her blog Almost Makes Perfect, so called because she feels she’s never been able to do anything perfectly. When you see her home though, I’m sure you’ll beg to differ! Enjoy the tour!
Sitting Room BEFORE
I couldn’t find all the ‘before’ pictures for this house, but the ones I did find are proof that this home has been given one major refresh! Here’s what the sitting room and entrance looked like before the renovation:
Sitting room AFTER
Check out how deep that sofa from Interior Define is! I’d climb on, curl up and stay there all week if I could, fancy joining me?!
There are so many lovely things in Molly and Gideon’s bedroom – but that Moroccan flatweave rug by Sarah Sherman Samuel (there’s also a cushion* to match) and Odara throw have to be my favourites!
Look closely and you’ll see the new waaaay fresher bathroom has the same bones / layout as the original bathroom, but boy does it look different. And so pretty too with the lighter wood and hints of pink, don’t you think?
I couldn’t resist sharing a few pictures of the garden too, mainly because of the children’s playhouse. I’ve never seen one like this before, have you? DIY idea perhaps?
It’s unbelievable how much inspiration can be taken from one home!
I hope you’ve got some ideas for your own home from this tour.
Right, better get on with the filming (I need to concentrate, it’s in Swedish – gulp!).
