Rancho Santa Fe is a prestigious place to live in California. It is surrounded by forests, pastures, orange groves. The first settlers appeared here at the beginning of the XX century, when this territory passed from Mexico to the USA. In recent decades, due to its proximity to Hollywood, Rancho Santa Fe has been favored by celebrities. For example, such stars as Bill Gates and Janet Jackson live here

It was in this town that the designer Stephanie Parisi and her fiance purchased an old house from the beginning of the XX century. They were attracted by the architecture of Lilian Jeannette Rice, which combined the traditional Mexican style with the Spanish Renaissance. Stephanie tried to preserve this unique "highlight" of the house, but at the same time create a modern space that meets all the comfort requirements of the XXI century. "There was a lot of old furniture made by local artisans. I liked it, but it made the interior look too heavy. We tried to fix it," she says.

Now the interior of the house still reminds of its past. Patterned wrought-iron doors, massive wooden ceilings, ethnic tile patterns and decor give the interior a unique character. The stone walls are plastered and painted white. Most of the niches are sealed in them, which helps to make the interior seem more homogeneous.

There are many objects from the collection of Stephanie Parisi in the setting. There are South American antiques, handmade items made in Europe, and works by Mexican craftsmen. In general, the designer has a bright, eclectic interior that reflects both local traditions and history, as well as the personal preferences of the hostess..
