Ready for Her Close-Up
Like a starlet-to-be who stumbles into a talent scout, Natalie Wong was just doing her thing when the DIY-out-loud life came for her. “I work in operations for a global entertainment and media company,” she explains. "My role is very task-oriented and I work with engineers and developers; my background actually is marketing and event production.”
Her two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles’s Koreatown was constructed more than 90 years ago, when the city was in the process of an aesthetic shift. “The building was built in the mid-1930s and it’s French Normandy style,” Natalie says. “With Hollywood Regency kind of starting in the ‘30s, I completely pivoted and decided to go [with] Hollywood Regency [decor]. I wanted to recapture that old Hollywood retro glam style, especially since it was built in that era. I just totally am into that whole historic side of things.” Read on to see how she transformed her spaces — and how they turned her into “an accidental content creator.”
