Interior designer Vanessa Alexander’s secluded Malibu sanctuary is not your typical Californian beach shack. Located at the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains in Bonsall Canyon, this modern farmhouse is privy to tailored outlooks of rugged cliffs and established tropical greenery, just minutes from the beach. In this exclusive film, Vanessa takes us on a guided tour through her home, elucidating how she transformed it into a light-filled, European-inspired haven for her family.

There's nothing quite like the privilege of stepping inside a designer's own home, particularly the soothing spaces of Vanessa's Malibu retreat. I love that the film offers a new perspective on how the interiors unfold and the unique details within.

This has always been my favorite house on Bonsall. You can only see the dark color and the greenery from the street. Bonsall is a dream place to live. Love everything about this home. Copenhagen is amazing, I go several times a year too!

Wow amazingly well done project, love the nordic influence on it and also the furniture, the Sou Sugi ban clad but something that really let me freak out was the landscape perfectly curated. It look like the kingdom of great. Beautiful I would say inside and out.

@est_living Ай бұрын

Thank you very much! Est living HQ are with you, the Sou Sugi ban clad is ideal with this home, offset against the olive trees and landscape design. Just beautiful.

@janelte Ай бұрын

The garden is gorgeous - I imagine those olive trees were already there before the alterations and renovations. The interior and exterior work so quietly and beautifully together. A lovely, lovely home. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Beautiful home. I’m very drawn to homes that have that indoor/outdoor access and compatibility. I feel the Belgian farmhouse influence but agree it’s very American. Wish it was mine!

What's 'European' design? Icelandic? Turkish? Russian? British? Spanish? It's such a generic term that has little meaning for a continent that is so diverse, aesthetically speaking. (I'd like to add that the home looks very Pinterest American, but hey ho).

@CatalinaTeuber-sf4gh Ай бұрын

@FHH618 Ай бұрын

Well she did mention Belgium specifically. However i do agree that this home feels deeply American

@mar8851 Ай бұрын

Moze chcial zaznaczyć, że korzenie sięgają europejskiego dziedzictwa. Amerykanski styl powinien kojarzyć się z korzeniami z kultury nativ. W tym domu ja widzę wpływy japandi, skandi i .... dolce vita. Przepiękna mieszanka.

@WonderZwane Ай бұрын

It’s a competing with ‘American’.
