The Inspiring Monochrome Home of An LA Interior Designer
Hej vänner, hur må ni idag? – Can you tell I’m feeling the Swedish after sharing my film yesterday?! Having said that, I’m about to whisk you to a home far, far, far away where the sun is shining and the weather is warm – yep, today we’re going on a virtual trip to Los Angeles and the beautiful home of Anne Sage! Looking at her lovely abode you can probably guess she works in the interior world. And yes, Anne is indeed a full-time interior designer as well as the author of popular design book Sage Living – a business that started when she launched her blog almost 12 years ago (wow –  that makes her blog even older than My Scandinavian Home!). Anne is also a content creator and the co-owner of a creative studio and photography space in LA called LightLab (which looks amazing!). Yet, she’s still found the time to do everything from refinishing the floors to renovating the kitchen in her wonderful 1954 LA rental which she shares with her husband Ivan, two cats and a baby on the way. The look is monochrome with warm touches of light wood and brass. Ready for the tour?

The kitchen has been built using cabinet doors from Semihandmade which are designed to fit IKEA units. It was kind of cool to discover that there’s a washing machine and tumble dryer hidden behind the cabinets to the right – I’m all for keeping things clean (and I’m not talking about the clothes!!). The oven is from Kitchenaid and the lights are by Schoolhouse.

I do believe it’s that Stockholm 2017 coffee table again (remember it appeared at the end of the bed in yesterday’s home?). From the name I’m guessing IKEA intended it to be used as a coffee table (rocket scientist that I am!!) but I’ve yet to see anyone using it that way. It certainly makes a fine bench as seen here in a corner of Anne’s kitchen.

I absolutely love the spotted rug (from Jaipur Living) – it totally makes the space, don’t you think? The sofa is from Thayer Coggin) and the wall light is Serge Mouille.

One of the things Anne loves the most about her home is the large windows which flood the living space with light. I like how California Closets have built the units around the window. 
On Instagram Anne declared that she loves the Hoffmann Armchair (seen here as a desk chair) almost  as. much as (if not more) than her husband. I can totally see why! It’s a beauty!

Ever since photographing Gen’s office a few weeks back, I’m convinced that every workspace needs a daybed. Are you with me on that? This fine specimen is from Blue Dot.

The nursery is all ready for the big arrival. The über soothing palette is perfect for lulling a baby to sleep (and that armchair is ideal for exhausted parents!). 
Cot from Babyletto, art from Minted and lighting by Mitzi.

I think I could curl up in that armchair and have a snooze right now.  Doesn’t it look inviting? 
Is there anything that stood out to you about Anne’s home? 
You can see more snapshots over on Anne’s instagram @citysage and blog
Shall we take at a few more LA homes? After all, we have come all this way….
Have a lovely day!
