She then talked about the background of the house, saying, “So it was really important to me—because the house is from the 1920s—I wanted to pay respect to the original architecture and the Spanish-style influence and even though we were redoing certain things, I wanted to use materials that were organic and felt like they could’ve belonged in the home before.”
