Hej vänner, hur må ni idag? - Can you tell I'm feeling the Swedish after sharing my film yesterday?! Having said that, I'm about to whisk you to a home far, far, far away where the sun is shining and the weather is warm - yep, today we're going on a virtual trip to Los Angeles and the beautiful home of Anne Sage! Looking at her lovely abode you can probably guess she works in the interior world. And yes, Anne is indeed a full-time interior designer as well as the author of popular design book Sage Living - a business that started when she launched her blog almost 12 years ago (wow - that makes her blog even older than My Scandinavian Home!). Anne is also a content creator and the co-owner of a creative studio and photography space in LA called LightLab (which looks amazing!). Yet, she's still found the time to do everything from refinishing the floors to renovating the kitchen in her wonderful 1954 LA rental which she shares with her husband Ivan, two cats and a baby on the way. The look is monochrome with warm touches of light wood and brass. Ready for the tour?
The kitchen has been built using cabinet doors from Semihandmade which are designed to fit IKEA units. It was kind of cool to discover that there's a washing machine and tumble dryer hidden behind the cabinets to the right - I'm all for keeping things clean (and I'm not talking about the clothes!!). The oven is from Kitchenaid and the lights are by Schoolhouse.
I do believe it's that Stockholm 2017 coffee table again (remember it appeared at the end of the bed in yesterday's home?). From the name I'm guessing IKEA intended it to be used as a coffee table (rocket scientist that I am!!) but I've yet to see anyone using it that way. It certainly makes a fine bench as seen here in a corner of Anne's kitchen.
I absolutely love the spotted rug (from Jaipur Living) - it totally makes the space, don't you think? The sofa is from Thayer Coggin) and the wall light is Serge Mouille.
One of the things Anne loves the most about her home is the large windows which flood the living space with light. I like how California Closets have built the units around the window.
On Instagram Anne declared that she loves the Hoffmann Armchair (seen here as a desk chair) almost as. much as (if not more) than her husband. I can totally see why! It's a beauty!
EDIT: I initially thought this nursery was in Anne's house ready for the BIG arrival (and I could be forgiven for thinking that, considering it fits in perfectly with her aesthetic, but actually Anne created this lovely nursery for a client. The über soothing palette is perfect for lulling a baby to sleep (and that armchair is ideal for exhausted parents!).
I think I could curl up in that armchair and have a snooze right now. Doesn't it look inviting?
Is there anything that stood out to you about Anne's home?
Shall we take at a few more LA homes? After all, we have come all this way....
Have a lovely day!

It is super cosy! I especially love that the carpet in the living room, it's so fun!
Deletethat pink and teal rug in front of the kitchen bench. drool. It was fun hearing you speak Danish. DId you learn as an adult?
ReplyDeleteThat rug is so pretty!
DeleteThank you ! I was speaking Swedish - but it's so close to Danish I can understand why you thought it was (especially with my British accent thrown in!). I did learn it as an adult. One day, my Swedish husband said to me 'right, that's it. I'm not speaking anymore English' - It was a long few months I can tell you, but the only way for me to learn to understand Swedish! I still make LOADS of mistakes when I speak Swedish but I can definitely get by :)
