Before & After: A Dilapidated Spanish Revival Home in L.A. Gets a Dazzling Renovation

When Los Angeles–based designer Shanty Wijaya purchased a ramshackle 3-bedroom/2-bath Spanish Revival home in the Jefferson Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, she knew it had the potential to become an extraordinary family home. The 1924 house had fallen into disrepair, and it was in need of both structural and cosmetic updates. It could have been a teardown, but Wijaya and her team at Allprace Homes saw an opportunity—and after a seven-month-long renovation, the home has a new lease on life.
