"It's all about texture and movement," she says of the scheme. An oversize wooden artist's model sits on a 1970s geometric cabinet from JF Chen in Los Angeles. 03 of 13 The Atrium Dean Kaufman The towering 15-year-old ficus gets plenty of light in the two-story atrium of the open-floor-plan home. "The tree makes the house feel alive," Wearstler says, "and the skylight opens up so it has access to sun and air." 04 of 13 Family Room Dean Kaufman "I wanted objects specific to this location, like the chandelier that resembles seaweed washed up on the shore," says Wearstler. The ocean-facing chaises are covered with a fish-scale pattern in shiny leather. 05 of 13 The Dining Room Dean Kaufman The sunken dining room has a monumental stone table and modern chairs. "Artwork leaned casually against the wall keeps the room from feeling too formal," Wearstler says. 06 of 13 The Architecture Dean Kaufman Bleached walnut floors and marble-paneled walls divide the kitchen and sunken living room. Wearstler says she "opened up the space as much as possible to bring the outside in." 07 of 13 The Kitchen Dean Kaufman The kitchen and dining nook are elevated above the dining room to allow for ocean views. The island and walls are rain forest marble, and the cabinets are made of bleached Douglas fir. 08 of 13 The Family Room Dean Kaufman In the family room Wearstler wanted something "surfy," so she developed these patchwork wood designs that later became tables and trays in her home collection. 09 of 13 The Guest Room Dean Kaufman A paper and plaster sculpture hangs above the bed in a guest room and "kind of looks like me and Brad," she says. 10 of 13 The Master Bedroom Dean Kaufman In the master bedroom a gallery of graffiti-style artwork creates a youthful vibe.
