"Commune Restores a Los Angeles Home with a Star-Studded Past\nA 1930s house with a storied show-business history receives a chic restoration\nDinah and Bill Ruch enlisted Pamela Shamshiri of the interior design firm Commune to restore and update their 1935 Los Angeles house, formerly the site of legendary Hollywood parties. In the living room, a painting by the filmmaker Jean Negulesco is displayed on a wall of antiqued mirror. The windows are dressed with a Ralph Lauren Home crewelwork fabric, and the iron accent tables are from Holly Hunt.\n\nFor details see Sources.\nThe living room, refurbished to reflect its 1940s William Haines design, features a sectional sofa upholstered in mohair, and a Tony Duquette table lamp (one of a pair); the cocktail table and ottoman, the latter clad in an Old World Weavers fabric, are both by Formations.\nWalls finished in a vibrant marmorino plaster add punch to the dining room; the crystal chandelier and faux coral branches are from JF Chen, and the sconces are by Formations.\nIn the breakfast area, a light fixture by Waldo's Designs hangs above an Alma Allen walnut table and a suite of 19th-century Spanish dining chairs; the Belgian iron side table and the pair of armchairs are from Lucca Antiques.\nThe kitchen cabinetry is painted in Benjamin Moore's Enchanted Forest; the pendant lamps are all by Paul Ferrante, the range is by Wolf, and the sink fittings are by Perrin &amp;amp; Rowe.\nThe walls of the sitting room were stenciled by Valle; the barstools are vintage French, and the framed snapshot, which depicts the same interior, was taken by one of the home's previous owners, the photographer and legendary hostess Jean Howard.\nDecorative painter Nic Valle ornamented Dinah's study with a trellis motif; the desk and upholstered chair are by Restoration Hardware, and the table lamp is from JF Chen.\nThe hallway's Arts and Crafts bench is from Blackman Cruz.\nThe master suite is furnished with a George Smith button-tufted bench in an Osborne &amp;amp; Little fabric; the embroidered bolster pillow on the bed is from Hollywood at Home, the curtains are made of a Lee Jofa linen, and the carpet is by Tai Ping.\nAnn Sacks tiles distinguish the master bath, where a pair of Lefroy Brooks console sinks flank a Waterworks tub; the fittings are also all by Lefroy Brooks.\nVintage chairs and chaise longues line the pool.\nLandscape designer Matthew Brown created the parterre."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
