Madison Modern Home Collaborates With Casa Victoria to Design a Playful Vintage-Modern Entryway

This week we’re delighted to publish another guest post, this time from Robin DeCapua and Rachel Moore, the dynamic mother and daughter design team behindMadison Modern Home – Home Staging and Interior Design.

What do a Chinoiserie mirror, a tanker desk chair and a mid-century console have in common? Absolutely nothing! But when you know how to combine them, they add up to an eclectic Silver Lake style entry. Robert and Nicole of Casa Victoria invited us to choose our “Five Faves” from their diverse selection of furniture and home décor and design a room around them.

Here’s what we loved: a. A vintage Steelcase chair ($249) serves as a neutral anchor against the high personality wallpaper b. The fluid lines of the brass cat figurine ($195) complement the adjacent angles. c. Rich detailing in the Chinoiserie mirror ($395) adds elegance and shine. d. A globe pendant ($149) frees up spaces and lends a modern touch. e. Repurposing a buffet as an entry console ($349) affords you lots of hidden 
storage. We love its ‘60s silhouette. Wallpaper: Scalamandre Zebras Masai Red

Max Gough & Maximillian Designs

Interior design can be an exciting endeavor, but all too often we see very predictable results. Rooms frequently look like they were taken straight out of a Restoration Hardware or West Elm catalog, depending on the clients’ taste and budget. Now, there is nothing wrong with these big box stores and they all do a great job; but to create something truly original, a little more is needed. There is no better way to do find this illusive more than by shopping vintage.

Vintage finds at Casa Victoria

A room needs interest, layers and depth; something that the eye can rest on that it has not already glanced at a hundred times that day online. Casa Victoria has been one of my favorite stores for over a decade for this exact reason, cool stuff. My own apartment reflects years of great finds; such as my graphic black-and- white floral sofa, my Indian musician coffee table, and the many eclectic paintings hanging on my walls. I refer to my favorite as my “Poor Man’s David Hockney,” but my friends call it the “Gay Christopher Robin.”

Vintage on a budget

There are few stores in LA where you can consistently walk in and find exiting and unexpected objects that range from the chic to the ridiculous, making each time I go in a little adventure. It is also a staple place for any budget. (And as much as nobody wants a budget there ALWAYS is one- no matter what some might have you believe!)I have turned to them for large projects and small independent film rentals with equal success.

West Coast Exotic

Over the past decade as my style has evolved, so has the style of Casa Victoria and its owners, Isaac and Robert. I have become good friends with this duo making it an extra bonus when out shopping to pop in for a little gossip and fun. I jokingly call my style West Coast Exotic, which basically means blending the big California trends of Asian, Spanish and mid-century into one delightful mash-up of color and pattern madness. Casa Victoria is always there to help add some spice to the palette. Happy shopping!
