The pair also took special care in ensuring the home was family friendly. Deschanel has two children, Charlie Wolf, 4, and Elsie Otter, 6, whom she shares with ex-husband Jacob Pechenik.
“The stairs in particular are ready were designed with little ones in mind. They’ll be “solid white oak treads and white risers, with an iron railing and a Moroccan-style runner,” Scott shared. “For anyone with kids or dogs, it’s so much safer with a runner. We may take it off in the future, but for now it will be there and it will be beautiful.”
He added that the staircase is “perfect backdrop for cheesy tiered family holiday photos.”

Throughout the renovations, the pair wanted to ensure that Park House kept its traditional aesthetic.
“I grew up in a 1920s Spanish-style house, and I’ve always loved older homes,” Deschanel explained. “Modern is cool, but it doesn’t have the same draw for me. I love the character of old houses, the personality.”
“We spent a long time figuring out the best details to make each room special,” she added. “At first glance, you’d think this could all be original. That’s what we’re going for.”
Thecoupleincluded ornate woodwork, handmade brass plates and reclaimed wood beams in the home while modernizing it with energy-efficient appliances and eco-friendly features.
