Homes I Love: California Bohemian
I know I’ve been focused on nothing but Christmas lately and even I need a break from it so let’s change gears a little bit today. Jacqui Getty’s gorgeous home in California feels like summer to me, especially that beautiful outdoor space.
It’s a really sophisticated home but not at all stuffy. This is probably my favorite room:
The rustic style kitchen is unexpected:
I always love a giant pinboard:
Nice use of color and layering of ethnic textiles here:
Pretty baubles on display:
Corner art wall, caning and zebra get my approval:
Like all the Homes I Love, I could move right in and live happily without changing a thing. What about you?

This house is perfect. I am in love!
The kitchen and living room are amazing – right up my alley! I could definitely live here.
I was actually thinking about writing something snarky (unusual for me as you know) then I thought to myself: “jealous much?” because really it is so lovely. Let me set up a tent in the garden and I’m good.
Are you feeling better?
You have nothing to be jealous of – while she has a perfect house, her personal life is kind of tragic. And yes, I’m doing better – thanks – just waiting for my voice to come back!
I love that house, too. I love how each room is different yet they all flow together. How does she feel about long visiting house guests? I love the back yard the best!
I’m glad that you are feeling better!
Un très joli intérieur…
gros bisous
Ally I love love love this post. Completely and totally up my alley. I have pinned every single image and you have inspired a few posts of my own.
Glad to hear that, Capella. It’s always nice to inspire others.
i love how the flowers make such a statement. they are really all i could look at!
that simple idea of wrapping the art around a corner is blowing me away right now. duh!
The house is absolutely beautiful! Im in love with the outdoor space and I love that I see flowers popping up everywhere in the space (I think I miss seeing beautiful colorful flowers the most about Spring and Summer). And that punch of purple just wraps the design into a very chic end product! Love it

Love this house too Ally! Completely agree…..sophisticated yet relaxed as well. And I would kill for a courtyard like that….so nice!
Love that house too!
I am going off to vote for you on Houzz. I was asked to participate, but didn’t have the time

WOW!!! This house is absolutely stunning. Love it!!
Yes, yes and yes. I also love that room! A table packed out with books, and a bed instead of a sofa to read them on. Yes!
Wow. Loved this place. Pinned half of it.
