Rewriting a home's history in Pasadena
Rather than try to make their home look more contemporary, Andrea and Sean Moriarty have taken their Spanish Revival further back in time, lending a sense of the past that goes beyond the structure’s actual years. Here, Andrea Moriarty looks on as mural installer Michael Baughman, far left, and painter Dan Gallagher prepare a 300-square-foot artwork for its eventual place in the home’s library.
