One Smokin Hot Vintage Modern Showhouse
Have you checked out Vanessa De Vargas’s post at Turquoise about the showhouse she and her pal Jordan Cappella re-decorated? It is absolutely sumptuous! The house is Jennifer Siegel’s OMD Showhouse, a 12′x 60′ pre-fab, portable house the currently sits on Abbot Kinney in Venice California. Thanks to Vanessa and Jordan, it is full of genius interior design moves.
Here is the house heading over to its temporary foundation:
Here it is sitting on its temporary foundation:
Here is the sleek interior:
I simply cannot get over that genius coffee table! It is a trunk encased in lucite. That is how I think of Vanessa’s style - she takes beautiful and neglected vintage items that might be a little shabby and adds shine via lacquer, lucite, mirror, silver, elegant upholstery, etc. The sofa is upholstered in a patent leather-looking vinyl. The two designers are also miracle editors. Each piece stands out on its own, and the spareness of the rooms make the house appear twice its actual size. At the same time, it is accessorized beautifully - every piece packs a visual punch. I wish I could check this space out in person!

Hey Megan!
I’m so excited over L.A. design lately. This is such a great example of how great it is right now!
