Happy Fab: Barbara Bestor's House






Barbara Bestor is hands down one of my favorite LA architects—both for her great work and for her totally non-typical architect attitude. She's easy to talk to, doesn't use words like "volume" or "program"—terms I've found often used by architects that make normal conversation feel like some kind of symposium—and I love love love her use of color. Here's her Silver Lake house. Three words for you: Pink barn doors! Love that. I think Barbara's combo of amazing colors and great sense of "space" (oops, did I use an arch term?) really gets the serotonin pumping. Her house feels open, casual, cheerful and has just a touch of the wacky wonderful to it.
