This is the last weekend for Pasadena Showcase or "Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts." If you haven't see it, you have to see what the top designers in Los Angeles can do for the renovation of an estate home.
This year, the house is a 1922 Spanish Colonial Revival 10,200 sq. ft. marvel. Some of the things that I noticed was that the designers were a influenced quite a bit by the Spanish / Mediterranean motif and it made for a more interesting themes. In the past, quite often they were a bit too over the top with the country club motifs and this year it was refreshing to see the changes.
There were also quite a bit of stenciling this year - the the floor tiles, the walls, and ceilings.
The money goes to a worthwhile cause - The Pasadena Showcase has a music mobile program, a youth concert, and an instrumental competition. Last year they gave $772,500. You can find out more about them at http://www.pasadenashowcase.org/
It's always good to see what directions the top designers are taking. Real Estate is design is very adverturous and ever changing. Even in condos, interior design changes rapidly from year to year and people often end up with a certain "look" they like and build around a theme or store. Developers also look to see what the showcase brings to town and overhear the comments that people make.
