Living Room The Clarks' spacious living room features a rock wall that the couple installed themselves. "Our front living area is this a cozy place to create a fire and sit with friends over a glass of wine," Kimberly said.
Made for Entertaining Kimberly made the home's living area herself. "That is a nice spot to have a cocktail lounge and swap stories," she explained.
Noteworthy Artwork The painting over the living room couch is a Fernando Botero, which was abandoned to Kimberly by her stepfather, Tommy Leonetti. "He was friends with all the artist in the 1960s and purchased it from him before he had been famous," she explained.
Upstairs Landing The photograph at the top of the staircase was taken by the Clarks' then 14-year-old son at The Museum of Neon in Los Angeles. "When I move up my staircase and look at this large banner-sized photo, I'm reminded of my youngest son's incredibly creative force," Kimberly said.
Master Bedroom "For my husband and I, this is our favorite spot to end a hectic day," Kimberly said. "We can look out our balcony off at our pool and Buddha. At night, our pool lights light up the room in a romantic turquoise color."
Bedroom View The Clarks enjoy this view of the backyard in their master bedroom balcony. "That is such a wonderful place to have our morning coffee," Kimberly said.
Customized Headboard Kimberly purchased an antique Uzbekistani Suzani tapestry and hired an upholsterer to earn the headboard inside their bedroom. "So as not to waste the gorgeous cloth, I had him do the back in dark linen then used the scraps of extra tapestry to make all of the cushions in our family room," she explained.
Bedside Table "Right by our bed, we have among our wedding photos," Kimberly said. "It sits in the union area (feng shui) of the house, which appears to be our bedroom. I have lots of Objects With Purpose candles all about our master bedroom, too."
Lunar Artwork "I just purchased this painting in HD Buttercup to commemorate my husband just having completed producing Fox's Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey," Kimberly said. "Those are old drawings of the moon waxing."
Master Bathroom "I love that our master bath is actually a portion of our bedroom," Kimberly said. "Taking a bath in that bathtub is one of my favourite things to do."
Kitchen "In our kitchen, the tile is named Seneca tile," Kimberly said. "We fell in love with its color and inconsistencies."
Breakfast Nook "Whenever we entertain, this little breakfast nook turns to the most popular spot for our visitors," Kimberly said. "They watch me cook, and we could see while I work."
Library From the library, built-in shelves home an impressive collection of books. "This burlap pillow was a nice Etsy find. I had our marriage date placed on it 12-28-88," Kimberly said. "Sometimes we sit in that large leather chair and read."
Moroccan-Inspired Bathroom "In our colorful, Moroccan-inspired toilet, an old portrait of my mother at 16 has found a house," Kimberly said. "I didn't wish to frame it I enjoyed that the roughness of simply hanging up the painting on its framework."
Interesting Furniture Finds You never know what you'll find in an estate purchase. "This piece was purchased in the ideal estate sale I have ever seen," Kimberly said. "It belonged to a classic Hollywood set decorator, and it was where I scored a few of the strangest pieces."
Favorite Candles Kimberly enjoys Objects With Target candles since they make candles with "found" objects. "I really like this candle in a classic crystal sherbet bowl," she said.
Coastal-Inspired Accessory "We have lots of those old Italian pots with shells everywhere in the house, reminding us we live by the ocean," Kimberly said.
Courtyard "In our front courtyard we made a nice quiet space to entertain and unwind with friends if people are in the pool," Kimberly said.
Drought-Tolerant Plants "We have potted all types of drought-tolerant plants throughout the house," Kimberly said. "This is from the front courtyard just outside of our dining room."
Water Feature "Our front courtyard fountain was an afterthought project when we noticed we'd a lot of tile left over after we built the home," Kimberly said.
Outdoor Seating Cozy seating areas are scattered throughout the courtyard.
Pool "Our Buddha is the big focus of our garden area," Kimberly said. "He sits peacefully at 6 feet tall"
