Los Angeles–based costume designer Gordana Golubovic used her sourcing skills and eye for fabric and layout in designing her Spanish-style home in Los Feliz. The result? A quiet, personal space with tinted concrete, bleached wood, reupholstered Ikea furniture, and everything else sourced from favorite RM LA shops such as Lost & Found, Lawson Fenning, and County Ltd.
Here’s a look at the upstairs guest room and a list of sources both from Golubovic and a few alternatives for those pieces that are sold out or DIY-ed.
Above: The guest room is anchored by a daybed covered in white denim, which Golubovic found at Ikea and reupholstered with fabric from a local source. Above: A vintage wallpaper table serves as an ingenious and affordable slim desk. Above: Folding closet doors are updated with wood cube pulls; gauze curtains soften the room.
Materials
Above: The trim is painted in Benjamin Moore’s Simply White Paint. “I have been using this white for over 10 years,” Golubovic says. Above: The wood floors are original but were bleached and soaped with WOCA Wood Lye and soap; $78 at Floor Guy. Above: The walls and ceiling of the house are treated with X-Kalibur Plaster; $13.75 at Lowe’s.
