Maximalist Charm in This Historic 1922 Pasadena Home

Advertising executive Brent Poer and fashion editor Beau Quillian welcome us inside their 1922 Pasadena home, a storybook Normandy-style house layered with English antiques, contemporary art, inherited treasures, and decades of collected memories.

After leaving New York during the pandemic, the couple found themselves drawn to the character and craftsmanship of this historic house, embracing its romantic architecture and preserving its original details through the Mills Act preservation program.

Inside, richly patterned wallpaper, gallery walls, majolica, Staffordshire figures, and Black Forest antiques sit alongside deeply personal objects gathered from travels, junk stores, family homes, and years spent living between New York, Long Island, and Los Angeles. The home reflects the couple’s shared love of collecting—equal parts elegant, irreverent, and sentimental.

From the layered entrance hall and grand living room to the cozy guest room overlooking an English-inspired garden, Brent and Beau have created a home that feels intimate, expressive, and entirely their own.
