The Wild Beauty of Moss
  + stars: | 2023-11-21 | by ( Jenny Comita | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
And yet moss — unassuming and literally underfoot — has long been overlooked by Western naturalists. In fact, some of the most popular plants known as moss are not actually mosses (Irish moss belongs to the carnation family; Spanish moss is a bromeliad). SOPHIA MORENO-BUNGE, the founder of the Los Angeles floral design studio Isa Isa, especially enjoys working with Spanish moss around the holidays. In Los Angeles, moss can be hard to come by, but farther north, it’s a defining element of the landscape. The Portland, Ore.-based floral designer Françoise Weeks uses several types to create her abstract woodland wall sculptures, which also feature curling bark, dried seed pods and wildflowers.

Although Ms. Wearstler has been recognized for her decorating style, it can be hard to define. The word “eclectic” is often applied to Ms. Wearstler’s work; “that one drives me crazy,” she said. The Proper hotel in Downtown Los Angeles — a neighborhood that has struggled as the city’s homelessness crisis has accelerated — is a place to eat Iberian-inspired food on Mexican-made furniture. In suites like that, about half of the décor is vintage and half is new, a combination that is essential to Ms. Wearstler. It’s how I design.”Heart and SoulMs. Wearstler uses the word “soul” often.

Page and Sheila Nazarian found their Brentwood, Calif., house in 2010 and by 2019 they were ready to undertake some major renovations and upgrades. When Mr. Nazarian approached Ms. Marie about their home renovation project, his timing was pretty perfect. “Page and Sheila became my first clients.”With their three children in mind, the Nazarians asked Ms. Marie, whose firm is Alana Marie Interiors, to start outdoors. They looked at the former owner’s home office. “We were going to keep it as an office,” Mr. Nazarian said, “but then one of our friends came in and said it would be an awesome bar.”
