One aspect of California based design that I love is it's unapologetic display of decadence; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberace">Liberace</a> anyone? Today's space, designed by <a href="http://www.wandrdesign.com">Woodson and Rummerfield</a> takes such decadence to a more restrained, tactile level. 

The kitchen in this home in Laurel Canyon is set on a cheeky, feminine curve. The space has multiple light sources from the windows flanking the space to the huge overhead lamps, that  provide a variety of options and thus moods. 

The opaque fabric on the lampshades meet with the rugged yet beautiful backsplash and work together with the patterned chairs of the dining space and nook to create constant visual interest. 

You would be mistaken to think that such a variety would not work together but rather not only do they work together they do so because of their uniform theme. A selection of beachy blues, greens and sand shades and a repetition of curvature. 

It's all of the decadence. None of the kitsch and I for one simply love it.
