Not hemmed in
For fashion businesswoman Claire Stansfield, one style won’t work. She wanted her Hollywood Hills home to evolve with her tastes.
Claire Stansfield isn't a woman who commits to one style. When she co-founded her high-end T- shirt company, C&C California, the idea was to create "a classic shirt that women could wear with Jimmy Choos or flip flops, depending on their mood."
So when Stansfield bought a traditional English country-style house in the Oaks neighborhood of the Hollywood Hills, she wanted that same flexibility, an environment where she could display her mother's fancy Limoges china one day, earthy Heath pottery the next — depending on her mood.
Committed to not committing? To prove that home décor can be almost as flexible as hemlines, Stansfield has set out to create a house that's simultaneously traditional and modern, cozy and spacious, loaded with objects and yet absent of clutter.
