Home of the Day: Finessing a French accent

Flowering vines twine above the garden entrance to this Hollywood Hills West home inspired by the south of France. Provencal interpretation is evident in a range of details: French doors that line upper and lower decks, classic hand-hewn beams and a living-room fireplace lined with 200-year-old imported French tiles. Painted wood floors and decorative ironwork are other features.
