Kevin Beer has been collecting objects of normal record for decades. What started off as a childhood inclination to convey residence birds’ nests evolved into a vocation-defining hobby for the artist and interior designer. Kevin takes advantage of his bounty of shells, butterflies, and taxidermy in his get the job done, transforming the earthly things into imagined-provoking sculptures and one particular-of-a-variety decor items for his West Hollywood abode.
The 1920s Spanish Colonial home is filled to the brim with Kevin’s idiosyncratic creations and belongings, which include a classic armoire stuffed with doll heads and a bevy of thrifted portraits. Although there is no lack of visual stimulation, an oceanic theme functions as a calming drive in the course of the eccentric residence. “I normally needed it to truly feel ethereal and gentle and a bit tropical—if not really tropical,” Kevin clarifies.
The living home is possibly the most coastal-motivated house, with white stucco walls, an abundance of turquoise glass, and a mantel lined in coral, conches, and a Hadrian bust. A huge South Pacific clam shell overflowing with starfish and other sea treasures sits in the hearth, which is flanked by two regal French chairs. Higher than the worn leather-based Chesterfield hangs a common chandelier augmented by crystals, rosary beads, and purple branches.
