Actress’s Pasadena Home

Pasadena, California

(Article from Rue Magazine)

This 1920s Spanish Revival is in Pasadena, California—a peaceful enclave 20 minutes outside of Los Angeles known for towering trees and beautiful mountain views. Actress Candis Cayne fell in love with the property and knew it’d be the perfect spot to call home, even though it required an extensive remodel. She called on Jeni Gamble, founder and creative director of design firm Gamble + Design.

“Candis has a fondness for blending vintage glamour and authentic natural elements,” Jeni says. “The scope of work for this project was extensive, as we embarked on a complete transformation of the house layout. Our goal was to create a more functional and inviting space by opening up the kitchen and removing unnecessary circulations throughout the house.”

The aesthetic plan was inspired by Mexican Brutalist design—a fusion of raw materials and architectural beauty—and each room underwent a meticulous transformation. “Candis’s passion for cooking inspired a shared kitchen design,” Jeni tells us. “It became a space where she could pursue her culinary pursuits while enjoying the company of loved ones. The addition of multiple stations allowed for free movement and an inclusive environment, perfect for gatherings and shared experiences.”
