Robert and Cortney Novogratz, known for their reality TV shows on Bravo and HGTV, recently renovated a 1930s Spanish-style house in Los Angeles. Unlike with their other projects, which are more colorful and maximal, the couple embraced a clean, minimal aesthetic to bring this residence back to life.
Before: Exterior
The foundation was crumbling, and the home needed a major overhaul to be brought back to life.

After: Exterior
A coat of white paint freshened up the exterior. Spanish tiles salvaged from Santa Barbara were installed to embrace the original architecture. Elements like a copper chimney and gutters add an old world look to the house.

"We are typically more is more people," says Robert Novogratz. "We are known for color. Modern is much harder to design, but we kept everything more minimal here—less color."
Before: Courtyard
The house’s central courtyard still had a 1970s hot tub.
