When John and Kari Boiler first bought this Manhattan Beach home nearly a decade ago, they didn't have much time for a complete overhaul. John is the cofounder of and partner at a major advertising agency and Kari is president of Bugaboo for the Americas. But an overhaul is what they got. The couple worked with architect James R. Meyer of Lean Arch and Rachel Gilmore, a family friend and the owner and designer of Montreal's Monkland Tavern. Together the team helped the couple restore and enhance the building's best architectural elements, add extra square footage, and completely rethink the interior finishes, furnishings and color schemes.
