When we first saw the Silver Lake, LA, home of Nicole Cari, the Senior Marketing Director at Band of Outsiders, we admired the thoughtful mix of antique midcentury furniture with textiles and accessories sourced from some of our favorite LA design resources.
Cari has designed her home (patio and pool included) to accommodate her frequent guests. Her own site, Nicole Cari, details the dinner parties, baby showers, and weddings she both attends and hosts (party-throwing is her side passion). For more of her home, go to Refinery29.
