ʻO ka mea hoʻolālā nani ʻo Amanda Keidan: he hale ʻālohilohi

Hiki ke ʻōlelo like ʻia no kona home Venice piha i ka lā, kahi i hui pū ʻia ai nā leo gula me ke aniani ʻālohilohi, a ʻo nā noho barela vintage e kaʻana like i ka papahele o ka lumi noho me nā ottomans Ikea hou a me kahi kukui ʻoluʻolu i kūʻai ʻia mai ka pūnaewele kūʻai uila ʻo Gilt "ʻO nā mea āpau. kikoʻī loa," wahi a Keidan no kāna ʻano kāhiko. "Makemake au e nānā kou maka i kekahi mea. Makemake au i nā mea e nānā aku ai - nā mea nani." I loko o ka lumi kīhini keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo ʻē aʻe, ʻo kahi triptych polū polū o kēia wā e ka mea pena ʻo Venice ʻo Melissa Harrington e hopu i kou maka. I loko o kahi lumi hoʻokipa kuʻuna ʻē aʻe? He pena kiʻi ʻulaʻula.

"ʻOliʻoli wau i kēlā mau ʻāpana i kēlā me kēia lā," wahi āna, me ka ʻike ʻana ʻo ke kiʻi ʻulaʻula na kona kupuna wahine. "Ke hauʻoli nei kēlā mau ʻāpana iaʻu." ʻAʻole kāhāhā ko Keidan makemake i ka hana noʻeau i kona ʻano: ʻO kona kupuna kāne he mea hoʻokani piano kaulana ʻo Leopold Godowsky. ʻO kona mau kupuna kāne ʻo Leopold Godowsky Jr., he mea hoʻokani pila a me ka hui pū ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Kodachrome, a ʻo Frances Gershwin Godowsky, ke kaikuahine o nā mea haku mele ʻo George lāua ʻo Ira. Hoʻokumu ka lehulehu o nā mea hana kiʻi i loko o ka hale o Keidan i kahi ʻano nani a nani hoʻi - a pilikino.

"Makemake au he moʻolelo ma hope o kēlā me kēia hana kiʻi," wahi āna. "Me he mea lā ua waiho koʻu mau hoaaloha a me koʻu ʻohana i nā manamana lima ma koʻu home." Ua kūʻai ʻo ia i ka hale ʻekolu lumi moe, ʻelua ʻauʻau hale i ka makahiki i hala ma hope o ka nānā ʻana ma mua o 100 mau waiwai i nā makahiki ʻehā i hala. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ua haʻalele ʻo ia i kona kipa ʻana i ka hale Venice, kahi i noho ai nā hoaaloha mai Ladana. "Ua like ia me ka cliche āu e lohe pinepine ai e pili ana i ke aloha," wahi āna me ka ʻakaʻaka. "E oki i ka huli a loaa ia oe." Ma hope o ka hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻana i ka mea nona ke kūʻai aku, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Keidan i kahi hoʻoponopono hou ʻehā mahina e hāʻawi i ka hale 1947 i kahi nānā maʻemaʻe.

"Makemake au e māmā a hauʻoli a hauʻoli," wahi āna.

Ua pena ʻia nā paia leo ʻulaʻula i ka hale hōʻikeʻike keʻokeʻo a me nā leo ʻoluʻolu ʻoluʻolu. Ua hele ka waho mai ka uliuli ʻeleʻele a i ʻoi keʻokeʻo. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā puka makani hou e lawe mai i ka mālamalama maoli, a ʻo ka hoʻolālā ʻāina hou i hana nui i nā wahi waho. ʻO nā hoʻoponopono liʻiliʻi, e like me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i nā paia o ka home, ua kōkua i ka hoʻokō ʻana i ke ʻano maʻemaʻe i makemake ʻia e Keidan. A ʻoiai ua hoʻololi nui ʻia, ua akahele ʻo Keidan e mālama i ka mea i hana ʻia: ʻo ka papahele papahele mua a me nā puka aniani alakaʻi hoʻokalakupua a Keidan i ʻōlelo ai no ka Helms Bakery kahiko ma ka palena L.A.-Culver City.

No Keidan, ka mea i ulu ma New York, ua like ka hopena me ke kaiāulu Venice āna i aloha ai: he wahi eclectic ʻaʻole i kūlike i kahi ʻano kūikawā - e like me kāna mau mea nani. "Haʻi wau i koʻu mau hoaaloha e hoʻomaka me nā ʻāpana a lākou e aloha ai," wahi āna. "A hele mai laila mai." No ke ala maʻalahi e hahai i ka L.A. hiʻona, bookmark L.A. ma ka Home a hui pū me mākou ma Facebook Twitter a me Pinterest
