Commune, LA

A brief perusal of the March issue of Architectural Digest, the first under the helm of the magazine's newest editor in chief, Margaret Russell, was enough to convince me to subscribe.  There were so many truly amazing interiors. My favorite, was by the Los Angelos design collective, Commune.  Wouldn't living in these spaces be just like inhabiting one of Tom Ford's sexiest ad campaigns?  Just the type of aspirational escapism I look for in a shelter magazine...

I'll shake the Margaritas and you crush the ice. Then we park in the deck chairs in no 1..!

I know! I was loving the issue too :) I unsubscribed after about 10 years of being a loyal follower. Now I have to sign up again, as I will follow her eye where ever she may go!!

I would love to relax there, eat good food, and take some rockin photos of the place. It looks heavenly!

Party Resources said...

I need to be sitting in front of the fire in the last image (with a cocktail of course) stat! Happy Monday! xx

Valerie said...

This place looks so cool. I'd love to live there!

avant garde design said...

wow, very Tom Ford indeed! right about now, as i've mentioned to my significant other.....i need to get away for a few days before i go mad from the winter. LA would be a fine choice! thanks for sharing, i'll HAVE to pick up their new issue soon ;)

LiveLikeYou said...

It would be the perfect backdrop for an independent film, perhaps a about a couple who rents this place to reignite their long lost flame, only not to be able to make that happen instead secrets are revealed...hmm I have way too much imagination..

Dora Cruceru said...

Wow these look fantastic! I love the sun beds by the pool in the first one

CDS said...

Yes! I could hang with Tom in any of these spaces with our tight white jeans and black v-neck tshirts! :) xoxo

Jg. for FatScribe said...

that's how we roll in los angeles, kid. come on out anytime. L.A. is one of my Eleven in '11 ... i'll send you the link (i'm only up to No. 5). as a former lawyer, i'm sure you've seen some LA Law ... ;)

Estelle said...

I could really use a little retreat into any one of these images. I think I'd come out a better person.

Now you've got me thinking seriously about picking up AD again.

Haute World said...

I love the organic feel of this.. it's like living in a nature spa. I'm especially drawn to that fireplace and the skylight!

I am really hoping for the best with this new editor for A.D., once my favorite interiors magazine and publisher of several of my own projects.

Casa Bella said...

The spaces look so calm, green (organic), and totally inviting. Now I want a copy of the magazine, definitely.

Aubrey {All Things Bright and Beautiful} said...

This is rustic chic at it's best! And I just have to say I *love* that purple, too!!! Lots of love today...

shari @ little blue deer said...

Oh, yes, very un-Unhappy Hipsters! XX!

Amy R. said...

Lots of wood, very earthy.

Tina said...

Absolutely adore the cottage look and the simplicity of this home!
Also would like to thank you for being such a great support when I was struggling, getting no feedback at my blog. You were truly one of those whom made me go on with it, not letting me give up and the outcome is beyond words. I´m so grateful, THANK YOU Sue for helping me out!
Happy new week!

Nest Studio said...

I am in LOVE with commune. They were recently in House Beautiful as well - which seems a little off their track, but it was one of the principal's houses. They have such a great style and cool concept for a firm.

Splenderosa said...

Geesus, this looks like the house in "A Single Man" doesn't it? Gotta grab the new AD this afternoon. Have a lovely week, Sue (did you enter our giveaway?).

Heather Taylor said...

This needs to be my next home.

NYC Interior Design said...

Definitely looking forward to seeing this issue of Architectural Digest, love the style of this home.
