Jean Louis Deniot's LA home, 1930's architecture

Jean Louis Deniot’s Los Angeles home is nestled in the hills above Sunset Boulevard, and it’s a 1930’s fairy-tale.  “When the weather is nasty in Paris I jump on a plane and come to beautiful La La Land,” he told AD.  It took Deniot two years to complete the renovation of the over 2,000-square-foot home. The charming house has Tudor style exteriors, and Spanish-style interiors, many homes in L.A. share a Spanish-style interior architecture.  Jean Louis is known for his dramatic while livable interiors, but for his Los Angeles home, he kept things more on the relaxing side.

Palm Beach Interior design, blue exterior shutters

We are planning a trip to the south this summer, and one of the cities we are visiting is Palm Beach, Florida along with Savanna, and Charleston.  I can’t wait for those needed relaxing days to come.  After what feels like one of the longest winters and a stormy Spring, I’m ready for sand and sun.  This vacation home located in Palm Beach is not where we’ll be staying, unfortunately, but since I love Palm Beach architecture so much and more so homes that are layered with fine details and personality, here is a tour of this charming vacation home to inspire.

I love the beach and everything that has to do with Summer, however, I prefer laying by the pool most of the time.  If you also enjoy relaxing by the pool, these chic pool-attire pieces will provide you with the dose of style you need and will for sure effortlessly take you from the swimming pool side to the cocktail hours.  I’m especially loving the latest trends in swimsuits right now from one-shoulder to cut-outs and ruffle details; the new swimsuit has nothing to envy the bikini.
