Coveted Crib: Victoria's Deco Dream Apartment (Part Four)

CasaSugar — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:15:58 -0800

This week, we've taken several tours through artist and jeweler Victoria Skirpa's Lake Merritt Deco apartment. Today, we'll say goodbye to this gorgeous home with a look around Victoria's kitchen. Since Victoria is a renter, she can't do a lot of renos, but she still dresses up the space with cool accents and her artist's eye. Check out the slideshow for some ideas.

Yesterday, we toured Victoria's fabulous entry, living room, and studio space. Victoria, a jeweler living by "the jewel of Oakland," Lake Merritt, is the lucky inhabitant of a Deco-era apartment that features much of the original detailing, including several stunning chandeliers (such as the one shown here). To continue the tour with a turn around her study, check out the slideshow.

Coveted Crib: Victoria's Deco Dream Apartment (Part One)

CasaSugar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 12:00:40 -0800

It only makes sense that Oakland, CA, artist Victoria Skirpa makes stunning sculptures and covetable jewelry from her one-bedroom apartment overlooking Lake Merritt. After all, the lake is known as "the jewel of Oakland," and Victoria's apartment, location, and beautiful jewelry (she's having a special invite-only sale this upcoming weekend) are all equally treasurable. When I visited her home, I was literally drooling over her crazy views, as well as her very cool vintage furniture finds, original artwork, and unbelievable closet space (I am incredibly envious of this last item). Since there's so much good stuff to see, we'll take this tour in bite-size pieces, starting with her entry and studio/living room.
