Take a look inside my Holmby Hills house, now featured in the @WSJMag! youtu.be/YTl9VwHVPgo via @YouTube
This bedroom is sumptuously outfitted with blue export wallpaper panels, beautiful nineteenth-century silk-embroidered linens, and a mahogany tester bed attributed to Gillows.
One of my greatest honors was working in collaboration with the Obama family to select art for the White House nearly 8 years ago...
Explore the art & style of the Obama White House in my book "Designing History" written by Margaret Russell and with foreword by Michelle Obama.
During our time in the White House, Michelle and I were proud to display artwork from artists like Alma Thomas and Charles Alston—whose work provoked thought, challenged our assumptions, and shaped how we define our narrative as a country. obama.org/art-2021/

This room, and everything in it, is big in scale. The ceiling is high and the windows are tall, so I brought in strong vertical elements like these 2 Japanese brushstroke paintings and a large steel campaign bed based on an Italian original... Beautiful.
Sea and sand— A Raymond Pettibon beach scene hangs over a woven carpet I designed creating a subtle ripple effect between two shades of blue.
