Furnishing and art, specified for the house.
Full-service interior design for mid-century and architect-designed homes. Furniture, lighting, rugs, and original artwork chosen for the architecture and bought in your name, so the rooms feel collected, not decorated. Natural materials, restraint, and real work on the walls. The results have been featured in Dwell, Style by Emily Henderson, and IN BED Journal.
How we work
- 01
Read the architecture
We start with the house and the era, not a mood board. What the building wants comes first, and everything else answers to it.
- 02
Natural materials, edited hard
Wood, stone, linen, and a disciplined palette. We choose less, and we choose it well, so the rooms age like the house does.
- 03
Original art, not filler
Every project ends with real work on the walls: Christa’s own paintings, and through Staged with Art, local artists like Lynda Keeler.
Selling instead of settling in? The same eye runs our styling for market, and whatever we bought for the house can convey with it.
Questions, answered
Who owns the furniture?
You do, never us. Everything we specify is purchased in your name at our trade pricing, or rented for a listing period when that makes more sense. We charge a procurement fee to manage the sourcing, vendors, lead times, and installation, and nothing is marked up on the way through. The structure is on our How We Work page.
Do you only work on mid-century homes?
It is where we are strongest and happiest, but the method travels: respect the architecture, use honest materials, edit hard, and hang real art. Good houses of any era qualify.
Can we buy Christa’s artwork?
Yes. Original paintings appear in most projects and are available to purchase, and commissions for a specific wall or room are a favorite part of the practice.
Do you take projects outside the desert?
Selectively. The studio has completed projects in Berkeley, Bel Air, Malibu, the Hollywood Hills, Sonoma, and Kauai, and takes on faraway work that fits the calendar.
