European Inspired Home {Complete Brilliance}

This insanely gorgeous European Inspired home of Julie Carabello and 

husband, Michael Baum in Marin County California was built back in 1906.  

 The two decided to restore the historic home and pull inspiration from 

the city they (and all of us love) Paris.

Luxe Interiors + Design is featuring the entire home so do hop over to see 

the complete home tour and don’t miss the redesigned outdoor space as well. 

It’s a beaut! 

What I love most about this home is the clean and crisp design lines, 

the soft turquoise and subtle pops of color through-out. 

And just wait till you see the light fixtures...AMAZE!  

The once brown hardwood floors in the living room

updated in a high gloss white lacquer that at first I would think how dare they cover them but, 

again, well played design choice.

 

Kelly Wearstler wall paper...gimme!

 Bravo Julie and Michael on superb estate!
