MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA LIVING ROOM

Designer Matthew O'Dorisio has a soft, sort of "old-California" style here.  What a pleasant room.  Has a lot of elements I'm always drawn to--  gentle color palette, comfort, arched fireplace surround, curated pottery, iron, beams, oversize art, indoor-outdoor feeling.

Pretty exterior of the four bedroom, 1920's house.  Even has a turret.

And airy bedroom.

What a lovely home!  The living room looks comfortable, so spacious, the art work, shelves filled with decor between the windows, drapes which I always love, and books on the coffee table, all so appealing.  I also like the different type furniture to relax on.  The bedroom serves its purpose, a nice place to relax and sleep in.  All in all very pretty!!!!!!

overall a very pretty, inviting, relaxing home, although i wonder how many people actually use their living rooms these days? we use ours maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

It seems very peaceful. Can't find anything I dislike.

What a beautiful exterior....love it!

 

I would tweak a couple of small things in the living room.  I'd change the window treatments to something a little darker to balance out that side of the room.  Same for the painting over the fireplace.  Speaking of the fireplace, I'd prefer a clean square edge but I'm guessing there are arches like this throughout the house.  

 

The bedroom appears soft and serene.  I'd prefer a different headboard...one without a print (or a different one).  Same for the frame under the mattress.
