Cali Cool

Whether it's interior design, fashion, art or pretty much anything creative, I appreciate a variety of styles. However, my eye is always drawn to clean lines and simple designs.

So this amazing Los Angeles home jumped out at me on LivingEtc. What's more, it's eco-friendly and is made up of natural woods, soothing colors and lots of light.

Consider these photos a visual retreat for a few minutes:

What a cool, angular exterior. And I like how the reflective glass planes are echoed in the pool.

The tidy couch, bold purple chair, cool-hued wall tiles -- love it, love it, love it!

Doesn't a room like this make you breathe a little easier?

You gotta love a sunny bedroom.

California Dreaming

Apartment Therapy Los Angeles showcases an amazing house in San Diego in a feature called Jora and Bryan's Midcentury Organic Remodel. The home, which is built into a hillside, is utterly gorgeous with clean lines, natural elements, doses of vibrant color and fantastic views. I just love knowing dream-worthy houses like this exist. Have a peek:
