Before she founded her eponymous fashion brand at 19, Jenni Kayne had a yen for playing house. "When exams would come up, I'd hear her rearranging her bedroom," her mother, Suzanne Kayne, B recalls with an audible cringe. Her knack for redecorating took a back seat in her early adulthood as she focused on building her lifestyle label, now known for its Instagram-ad domination as well as its less-can-be-so-much-more approach to basics and neutrals. Give Kayne the most ordinary and humble element say, a pocket tee-and watch her elevate it to the most covetable version of itself.
It's a sneaky superpower, one that Kayne's parents were wise to tap into when it came to bringing their coastal compound in New Zealand to life.
From her base in Beverly Hills, their daughter had just launched Jenni Kayne Home-a collection of furniture and housewares that encapsulate her signature cozy California aesthetic.

But This is My Home - One writer discovers that living in an architectural icon can be a blessing and a curse.
One writer discovers that living in an architectural icon can be a blessing and a curse. My husband and I moved into the Kallis House in Los Angeles six years ago. It was designed in 1946 by the modernist architect Rudolph Schindler, and it's believed by many, including Frank Gehry, to be among Schindler's best. The house is eccentric, perched on the lip of a hill, with a butterfly roof and a shaggy exterior made of grape stakes. The interior is an unfolding series of surprising angles, with a wonderful wide view of the San Fernando Valley.
