Some of my favorite projects involve working with homeowners that have completely different styles.  I recently finished a design remodel for soap stars Julie Pinson and Billy Warlock.  They were recently married and Billy moved into Julie’s Spanish style home in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles.

Julie signed up to be on my show because she and Billy were facing a huge design dilemma.  Her home was decorated in pink, yellow and cream floral and Billy was moving in his masculine black leather “batchelor” furniture (complete with a big screen TV).  It was a design style collision.  Unfortunately we had booked all projects for the season, so I agreed to tackle their job through my private practice.

Julie and Billy in their living room.  I selected a masculine wall color so that the coloful feminine accents would stand out more.  This was a great way to combine their 2 styles.

The living room was once dominated by a large pink and yellow floral sofa.  We replaced the sofa with a beautiful forest-green mohair one and added floral accents back into the room with art and accessories.
