My Home As Art :: Jessica, Scott, & Bryan :: Eagle Rock



Meet the lovely and talented Jessica Davis - Interior Designer and founder of Nest Studio and The Eagle's Nest blog. The eclectic Tudor home she shares with her husband Scott and adorable baby Bryan, is now available for sale.  

What do you love most about your home?  The living and dining room.  We made a conscious decision not to put the TV in the living room, so this is a room that is purely for relaxing and entertaining.  I had the lanterns custom made by a friend who owns an iron works factory and they really fill the volume of the space and accentuate the height.  I love how open the space is and that the living and dining areas fit so well into the one room.  It's great for parties. And at Christmas time, the room is stunning with a tall Christmas tree framed by the front window and the fireplace dressed up for the occasion with stockings and garland. (You can view photos of Christmas décor HERE)
What drew you to your home? The architecture and authenticity.  My husband and I didn't have a particular style of home that we were looking for, but we knew that we wanted a house that had a sense of stylistic integrity whether it be mid-century post and beam, Spanish revival, Tudor or something else.  When we saw our house we jumped on it.  The beams in the living room, the original steel framed windows with pull-down screens, the magnesite floors in the entry, vintage stove and paneled study all gave the house so much character.
What is your favorite thing to do at home?  Entertain!  The house is so great for parties, not only indoors but out. We have two decks, one above the garage and one above the kitchen.  We've put a lot of work into the landscaping as well and really enjoy entertaining outside with friends and enjoying the fruits of our labors. 
  
When I'm home I feel...?  Comfortable and at ease.  They don't say "home is where the heart is" for no reason.  Our house has fit our lifestyle so perfectly.  The office is like a tree house and is really the perfect place to get work done.  It's also nice that the guest room is downstairs which affords us some privacy when the in-laws come to visit.  Our neighborhood is so quiet and it really feels like a little oasis just 15 minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown LA where I work.

What makes your home "ART"? Our home is an expression of our personal style and the way we live our lives.  It's an eclectic mix of modern elements set in a traditional framework.  We've put our stamp on every element in our home and for that reason it is our expression and own piece of "Art".  I am a studio artist as well as designer and we have created the unique art pieces and collections of items found within our home.  For that reason, the art itself makes our home unique.
