Kartheiser’s private courtyard includes a covered seating area and fire pit, designed by Roberts.

In the living area of actor Vincent Kartheiser’s Hollywood cabin, redesigned by Funn Roberts to maximize every last inch of space, an Eames lounge chair and ottoman mix with a couch and coffee table by Cisco Home from HD Buttercup. The table in the main room is from West Elm.

This install was done by All Seasons Fireplace in Minnesota: “The homeowners loved the original wood burning fireplace, but their contractor suggested that cutting and carrying wood on a daily basis would get old fast, even with four boys at home to help. They wanted to maintain the large viewing area that the wood burning fireplace allowed, so this Trisore 100H gas fireplace model from European Home was the perfect choice for the room.”

The original home was preserved and renovated. In the front bedroom, a small window was replaced with a large painted-steel window seat, a favorite of the residents' grandchildren.

Economical white subway tiles in a classic running bond pattern in the primary bathroom give subtle visual interest to the restrained palette. The deep window creates a sense of privacy and is sill-capped with white quartz.

Many of the spa-like ensuite bathrooms include oversized soaking tubs.

Louver doors in the shower provide privacy while allowing strips of light to filter in.

The shower features timber-look tiles supplied by Earp Bros, with a cast concrete bench that mirrors the materiality of the living spaces in the home.

Dimarmi Bianco porcelain tile extends from the primary bath’s floor into the shower.

The furniture comes from antique shops and flea markets.

The wall of backsplash tile behind the sinks emphasizes the ceiling height.

The mirrored wall bounches light around the room and makes it seem larger. Unlacquered brass plumbing fixtures feel appropriate for the house.

A brick-clad wall in the principal bathroom is topped with a protective coat of tiny, glossy beads.
