Here are photos of Steve Giannetti's California farm, which he designed with his wife Brooke:
"Brooke and Steve Giannetti's Patina Farm in the small-town, artsy enclave of Ojai, California, is a story of choices, in design and in life. Steve and Brooke Giannetti with donkeys Buttercup and Daisy."
"A Magical Ojai Oasis" by Lindsey Campbell.
Veranda (December 2014).
"The husband-and-wife team—he's an architect, she's a decorator—made the decision a few years ago to leave the bustle of Los Angeles for a more rural setting. In the best of California living, outdoor spaces blend seamlessly with interiors. Lantern, Troy Lighting."
"A Magical Ojai Oasis" by Lindsey Campbell.
Veranda (December 2014).
"Though they did manage a small flock of chickens in their charming Santa Monica home, their menagerie has now expanded to include dogs, miniature donkeys, goats, and a rabbit. They also have three children, two of whom have left the nest. Dining table by BoBo Intriguing Objects; leather chairs and chandelier, Lucca Antiques; armchairs in Rogers and Goffigon linen, Giannetti Home; sconces, Aidan Gray; rug, Jamal's Rug Collection."
"A Magical Ojai Oasis" by Lindsey Campbell.
Veranda (December 2014).
"While it's not a likely setting for Louis XVI or Limoges, the Giannettis' aesthetic is rigorous and disciplined. "We're not concerned with provenance so much as with what just appeals to us," says Steve. Vintage ceramic vases."
"A Magical Ojai Oasis" by Lindsey Campbell.
Veranda (December 2014).
"The couple's self-described 'patina style' was the title of their first book and the inspiration for their West L.A. shop, Giannetti Home, as well as Brooke's acclaimed Velvet and Linen blog. Natural linen, sisal, and weathered wood give the living room a fresh, unfussy look. Coffee table in Verellen linen and settee in Libeco linen, Giannetti Home; sofa and pillow in Schumacher linen; window seat cushions in Claremont fabrics; wallpaper panels, Gracie; sisal rug, Merida; patterned rug, Jamal's Rug Collection."
"A Magical Ojai Oasis" by Lindsey Campbell.
Veranda (December 2014).
"On four and a half acres of undulant meadow and pasture, the house nestles among cypress and oak, roses and lavender, boxwood gardens, meandering native plantings, and stone terraces that all look as if they've been tended through generations rather than started from scratch in 2012. Warm brass fittings and hardware mirror the honeyed tones of the custom white oak cabinetry and limestone backsplash. Stools in Perennials fabric, Hickory Chair; range, Lacanche; lanterns, South of Market; pendant lights, Schoolhouse Electric; sink, Signature Hardware; faucets, Barber Wilsons; pot rack, Morgik."
Veranda (December 2014).
"Indeed, says Steve, first-time visitors invariably ask what was original and what was added on. Substituting narrative for history was the intent, however, with the happy bonus of new wiring and modern plumbing. It also defined criteria. A collection of vintage watering cans and flowerpots decorates the chicken coop. Pendant lights, Barn Light Electric; vintage sink, Giannetti Home; faucet, Danze."
Veranda (December 2014).
" 'It was a way to make decisions,' Steve says, 'following the story of the building.' Each part of the house and outbuildings called for materials consistent with its character; thus the stucco portions of the main house required a traditional tile roof, while the barn siding on the office paired with a corrugated-metal roof. Choices for hardware, fixtures, finishes, and furnishings flowed accordingly. Custom banquette with cushions in a DeLany and Long fabric; chairs, Horchow; antique lantern, Marston Luce."
Veranda (December 2014).
"The rooms themselves, though, were designed from the inside out. 'You first have to decide how you're going to live in the space,' says Brooke. Antique table, Rue de Lillie; dishes and glassware, Juliska."
Veranda (December 2014).
" 'For example, I wanted to be able to sit at my desk and look out at the garden.' Steve conceived of the desired furniture arrangement for each area, then drew the room around it, allowing for adaptation as necessary. 'We built the house to be able to use it as our family changed,' she adds. 'It's an open floor plan.' The kitchen garden."
Veranda (December 2014).
" 'The children's bedrooms are in a separate wing, so it still works when it's just Steve and me and the animals. There's not a space in this house we don't use.' A profusion of white roses and lavender perfumes the landscape around the house."
Veranda (December 2014).
"It is an elegant utilitarianism reflected equally in the interiors. Steve, an East Coast scion of master-craftsmen plasterers, and Brooke, a native Southern Californian, artfully intertwined their creative DNA here in combining Belgian and Swedish antiques with rustic objects, rough-hewn materials, and natural fabrics in a soft, neutral palette. The master bedroom's sumptuous furnishings are balanced by bare white walls that emphasize the surrounding landscape. Bedding, Libeco; pillows in Claremont fabrics; chaise, Giannetti Home; antique bench, chaise pillow, and curtains in Rogers and Goffigon fabrics; chandelier, Lucca Antiques; antique limestone mantel, Exquisite Surfaces."
Veranda (December 2014).
"Applied finishes and paint were used sparingly, if at all. 'To make it look natural, you have to leave it natural,' says Steve. Tub, the Bath Works; faucet and shower fixtures, Waterworks."
Veranda (December 2014).
