Founders Letter

JENNIFER HALEFounder & Editorial Director

From the photos alone, our cover subjects, Rosetta and Balthazar Getty, exude the epitome of California cool—you know, that couple people fl ock to because they are stunning, successful in their endeavors (Rosetta, a designer with insanely good personal style; Balthazar, an accomplished actor and DJ) and throw the best parties. And while all of this is true, upon introduction you will also fi nd two very authentic people who’ve created a gorgeous family full of heart, soul and a whole lot of talent. We are thrilled to offer you the fi rst glimpse of their newly renovated home, the place where all of this creativity converges.

In this issue, we also invite you into the Beverly Hills abode of another pair offering their take on California cool: Skye and Mark Hoppus (of blink-182). After moving part-time to England, the family returns to their native territory, bringing their newfound appreciation for vintage design with them. Of course, we’ve also dropped in on swoon-worthy residences throughout the state—from Lake Tahoe to Malibu—and drilled down on the best in trends, new stores and resources, to keep you up to date, whether you are renovating, redecorating or just freshening up. It’s all intended to inspire you to actually re-cover the sofa, repaint the room or invest in that special piece you have been coveting. Because to our way of thinking, there is no time like today to live in the most beautiful way possible.

Feature (Malibu)

Set on the bluffs of Malibu, against a backdrop of craggy coastline and sandy beach beneath, Russell Kern’s 3,400-square-foot 1979 beach house was in need of a fresh look when he met his now-wife Meryl in March 2011.

Russell, founder and president of KERN, an Omnicom Agency, and his wife enlisted architect Daniel Monti from Modal Design to transform the un-remarkable structure into an airy and open contemporary home; Monti tapped designer Jamie Bush to define the aes-thetic. “So much contemporary archi-tecture is almost antiseptic,” Bush says. “We tried to take the natural beauty of the sand and the rocky hillside—those irregularities and imperfections—and juxtapose the rough and rustic textures with clean lines and a handmade touch.”

Bush layered natural and industrial materials throughout—cerused gray oak; marble; bronze and silver—to create a subtle fusion of simplicity and warmth.

The ripples and reflections from hand-blown glass fixtures reference the ocean, while Athens Silver travertine planks that extend from the ground-floor living area to the deck outside blur the lines between interior and exterior spaces. “There’s a rhythm and consistent pal-ette that’s reinterpreted throughout the house,” Bush says. “It’s really variations on a theme. Materials and textures are repeated, but in different ways.”

Furnishings strike a balance between clean, geometric lines and more organic pieces such as a free-form, acacia-wood dining table or a marble bench with irregular veining; a 7-foot-long coffee table in whitewashed Douglas fir commissioned from L.A. artist Stefan Bishop reveals old growth rings from reclaimed tim-ber. “There’s an irregularity and a sort of human touch to these pieces,” Bush says. “Rather than having everything manufac-tured, there is a dialogue that takes place to create a space that’s more personal.” •

Opposite: White cork wallpaper by HARTMANN & FORBES adorns the powder-room walls. Hanging Oona pendants by LAKE + WELLS and a bronze sink add warmth to the cerused white oak floating vanity and recessed Athens Silver travertine countertop.
