Commune, LA

A brief perusal of the March issue of Architectural Digest, the first under the helm of the magazine's newest editor in chief, Margaret Russell, was enough to convince me to subscribe.  There were so many truly amazing interiors. My favorite, was by the Los Angelos design collective, Commune.  Wouldn't living in these spaces be just like inhabiting one of Tom Ford's sexiest ad campaigns?  Just the type of aspirational escapism I look for in a shelter magazine...

    I'll shake the Margaritas and you crush the ice. Then we park in the deck chairs in no 1..!

    It would be the perfect backdrop for an independent film, perhaps a about a couple who rents this place to reignite their long lost flame, only not to be able to make that happen instead secrets are revealed...hmm I have way too much imagination..

    I could really use a little retreat into any one of these images. I think I'd come out a better person.

    Now you've got me thinking seriously about picking up AD again.

    Absolutely adore the cottage look and the simplicity of this home!
    Also would like to thank you for being such a great support when I was struggling, getting no feedback at my blog. You were truly one of those whom made me go on with it, not letting me give up and the outcome is beyond words. I´m so grateful, THANK YOU Sue for helping me out!

    I am in LOVE with commune. They were recently in House Beautiful as well - which seems a little off their track, but it was one of the principal's houses. They have such a great style and cool concept for a firm.
