It’s too bad that they didn’t work around it rather than starting from scratch. Any ideas as to what they’re planning with it?<br /><br />Going back to the article, I really love that they didn’t go for just one tone of white for the walls and such. That’d be pretty bland and boring. And that painting at the dining area is just superb!

Roxbury - a great, classic example of Woolf, has just been leveled (9 /1 /2013). Drove by it last week, and they had begun dismantling it. I thought maybe there was a chance it was being restored. Today, I drove by again, and its an empty lot. Its also especially upsetting because the home next door, at 1019, was where the Gershwin bros. lived originally, and where George died, in 1937.It was later owned by Rosemary Clooney, for over 50 years, then uncermoniously torn down, in 2005. Ira & Lee Gershwin, had bought the home at 1021, and later hired Woolf to remodel it, in one of his first commissions in L.A. 20 years later, he was hired again to remodel the house again.

And of course the Kinderlach remember the Rabbi's Chandelier Golden Rule: Twice the diameter in inches of the width of the room in feet! The Rabbi might also - possibly - drape a valance across the arched window and door wall, obscuring very little glass while covering most of the plaster above each of the doors.<br /><br />Rabbi Hedda LaCasaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-5015373455920072632013-08-31T22:13:21.307-07:002013-08-31T22:13:21.307-07:00Very nice home.
