Since March of 2020, Electric Bowery Principal Cayley Lambur and her young family have taken up residence in Big Sur, CA, bringing new life to this Mickey Muennig gem. The main house has been restored and updated to celebrate connection to the outdoors, local organic materials. The renovation of the existing main house required a thoughtful reconfiguration of spaces internally, including the custom kitchen. A warm and earthy palette is carried through the home, layering textures and natural materials, old & new. The consistent use of redwood paneling throughout the home offers the experience of bringing the outside inwards, contrasted and complemented by the incorporation of color through art, tile and textiles. A trailer on the property was restored and renovated to accommodate additional guest quarters, and further modified to create an office space outside of the main house for remote work.
I love the warmth of a home clad in wood. Such a great cabin/cottage vibe that would keep you feeling cozy through winter (though not so much a concern in California, eh). This home is stepped up a notch or two with some really cool furnishings.
