Emily Henderson Features Stylish Casita With Blue Parakeet Rugs

Shaun Crha, a Long Beach interior designer, was previously featured on Emily Henderson’s blog for the amazing Spanish guest house Shaun and his husband built out on their property. Now he’s being featured again for the reason behind the guest house: so his father would have a move-in ready place to call home. It’s the sweetest thing!

The piece details all the stylish and functional decisions behind the charming Casita, including hardware that’s easier for arthritic hands to grasp, double-function furniture and layouts, and a walk-in shower that can easily accommodate handrails and benches in the future if they’re needed.

We couldn’t think of a better place for an antique rug than a home designed with love for a dad. Shaun says, “We think what really makes it work is the large vintage area rug from Blue Parakeet Rugs…it was the biggest investment but so worth it because it was big enough to use under the bed and into the living area space, too. It’s a beautiful piece of art that introduced character, color, and texture into the neutral space plus allows the areas to flow naturally into one another.” We’re so thrilled to be a part of this labor of love. Pass the Kleenex!
