A remodeled midcentury A-frame not far from DTLA

When Jake Hurwitz, 32 and his fiance Jillian Vogel, 27 moved into a 1965 A-frame cabin in Mt. Washington last year, they worked with designer Jennifer Wallenstein of September Workshop to give the interiors a more youthful feel.

The couple painted the angled walls a soft white and redid the parquet floors to brighten the space.

Inteior designer Jennifer Wallenstein added inexpensive black slate floor tile in a herringbone pattern underneath the fireplace.

The color palette gives the living room a cozy feel.

The floating stairs, formerly red, were stripped and painted a dark espresso color. The stair railing was then painted a charcoal tone to give the room a more sophisticated feel. The hues make the photographs on the wall, at right, pop.

A former coffee table is now a tall console table for keys. It helps to create an entryway in the large open living space.

The second floor features a den, guest room and bathroom.
