Sometimes in Home Staging, “Less Is More” … 360 S. Mapleton, Holmby Hills, CA

The former Frances Brody Estate, is a true Los Angeles architectural treasure — architecture by A.Quincy Jones and interiors by William Haines.  When asked by listing agents, Linda May and Jade Mills, to stage this home for sale, it was clear that what needed to be done was to respect the existing space while providing complementary furnishings and accessories.

You may have heard of the incredible Brody art collection that was auctioned by Christie’s.  Two of the Brody pieces were in the top ten all time high sellers.  We, of course, did not have access to the actual pieces, however, we had prints of a few beautifully framed,  hanging in their original places.  The “heart” of this house has to be the incredible interior courtyard, which when the Brody’s owned it, contained an original Matisse painted specifically for the space.  That incredible piece, I believe, was donated to LACMA.

The property sold for approximately $14 million.  The Art of Home Staging played a big part in assisting in the sale of this one of a kind property.
