LA Times - Home: Living Walls

I've always been told that I have to check out the Home section in the Los Angeles Times.  Unfortunately I don't receive the paper, nor would I have time to read it!  But once again the Internet does not disappoint.  I have a new obsession with the online version of the paper - it's super easy to use and you can search articles from months past.  Take a look at this amazing home they recently featured.  The Bricault family created a wonderful space in Venice, CA that is wrapped in "Living Walls."   The exterior walls are covered in various succulent plants,that are contained by a modular green-wall system. 


These pivoting doors allow the inside and outside to feel like one large space.  There are so many great designs out there it's easy to create this look - similar door designs can be found at NanaWall.


 As you can see, the family managed to create an equally beautiful space on the interior. The look is sleek and modern with ceilings reaching 25feet high. And they were still able to keep the space inviting and comfortable!
