Our dear client Schuyler Samperton helps her friend put all the right pieces together in a Spanish hollywood charmer. We are grateful to see a few of our antiques spread about the house, highlighting the original character of the property.

"Samperton helped Harris remodel the house gradually, beginning with the kitchen and bathrooms, after Harris bought the rental property in 2000, installing stunning saffron-colored drapes in the dining room, and intuiting her friend’s changing needs. As Harris’ life has shifted over the last two decades, from being a top model for Giorgio Armani to acting to graduate school and now to her career as a practicing therapist, the space has also transitioned from a single woman’s (occasional) party house to a family home."
