This home uses grey timber exterior to the walls painted in shades of ocean blue, this is a home where color is used to create a certain atmosphere. Step through the front door and you can't help but feel calmer than you did just moments before. The house plant collection and design contributes to this zen feeling, as does the copious amounts of natural light coming in through the large living room window, which dances pleasingly off the wooden floor. The small patio in the backyard is perfect for drinking a cup of coffee and having a chat. The peaceful ambience is in keeping with the Long Beach location, which is a lot more laid-back than neighboring Los Angeles
