Inside a 1920s Hollywood Villa that Exudes Mediterranean Charm | Open House TV

Martyn Lawrence Bullard, an AD100 interior designer who's worked with celebrities such as Cher and wrote the recently published book 'Star Style,' invites into his stunning 1920s villa that was built in the heart of Hollywood and exudes an ambiance of luxury, intrigue, and Mediterranean charm.
Bullard originally designed the home for Craig Kilborn about 20 years ago, but upon purchasing the property for himself, he decided to infuse his own personal style in a way that provides flow, sparkle, and inspirational elements of surprise. One of the ways he achieved this was by installing metal frame windows, adding lighting fixtures made out of bronze and horse hair for a moment of unconventional flair, and commissioning an artist to paint a section of the ceiling in an intricate tile print (as seen on the magnificent fireplace) for a bit of Moroccan flavor.
Other points of visual interest include: golden palm trees that once belonged to legendary fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and add layering to the space; an intimate den that's reminiscent of a tent (inspired by his trip to an old palace in Istanbul) and is adorned with little decorative tables that hold treats for movie nights; a emerald jewelry box bar area - that exudes a glamorous glow with its high-gloss lacquer ceiling, tropical jungle wallpaper, and antique mirror on the back of the paneling - that opens into an outdoor firepit lounge perfect for entertaining guests; a green kitchen that features a zellige backsplash which features traditional glazed tiles handcrafted in Morocco, as well as custom cabinetry fashioned out of Mashrabiya - Middle Eastern latticed screenwork often seen in mosques and temples - that incorporate antique brass and brass knobs and handles; a dining area that incorporates the same shade of green used in the kitchen island in its drapery and features a stunning sculptural chandelier for a contemporary touch; and a bedroom that serves as a welcoming sanctuary with its rich textures, tropical tree-themed wallpaper, and grandiose four-post bed.

Beautiful home! I love the greens, black and whites they look good together.

[@cherieodell9048]

I really love how Mr. Bullard designed his home! Some of the artwork is above my head and confusing, although it's very thought-provoking, but the overall colors and design are just really beautiful. I really love the palm trees too.

Too many clashing patterns...

[@nicolafazio674]

Too far out there, would tire too quickly

I'm sorry but there's just something really off putting about an effeminate man.. Just why?? 🤦🏾‍♂️

I’m sorry but there’s just something really off putting about a snarky-ass, “less than” person who felt the need to make the comment you did.

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

@@Person-mh6xq I am tired of people thinking that they have to tell someone how to give an opinion of what to say. That is they opinion he is entitled to it rather you agree with it or not talking about somebody being disrespectful read your comment again because the main people who claim that they don’t like people who judge be the main ones judging less than a person really and you don’t even know him all because of a comment that he has the freedom of speech to say, and the right to say tired of people in this woke culture generation thinkin they have right to tell someone how to use their words or what they should say or how they should think and feel you wouldn’t want to judge you or your comment so you have the right to judge somebody else’s people tend to forget about freedom of speech in this country, freedom of expression, freedom of opinion snarky ass🤣
