Name: Clare Vivier & Thierry Vivier
Location: Echo Park - Los Angeles, California
Size: 2000 square feet
Years lived in: 10 years

Clare and Thierry did what many of us love to see - restored and appreciated the character of an over 100-year-old Craftsman home. They made the home comfortable and contemporary for their needs, but also complemented its original architecture. Thierry even built two bungalows in the backyard, which look like they were original to the home, for extra storage and his office.

Name: Aiden (14 months)
Location: Stevenson Ranch, California
Room Size: 11' x 11 1/2'

Interior designer, Jennifer Hsu, recently finished a project for a very special client - her son. I have heard many interior designers say that they are their toughest client. Jennifer and her husband put in the extra care to make sure everything was just perfect for their little man. I am in love with the results; so calming and so perfect!

Name: Jane
Age: 8 (she's Charlie's twin)
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Room Size: 15' x 15'

When Jane moved into her brother's room (her brothers now share a room), she wanted to have a say about decorating her new bedroom. Interior designer, Kristin Panitch, helped her realize her dream space. The chalkboard wall was left over from when it was her brother's room. Like many girls, she wanted light pink walls and all the artwork in her room is her own.

Name: Charlie and Henry
Age: Charlie: 8 Henry: 10
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Room Size: 15' x 15'

Bunk bed love! Charlie and Henry share a room, but each have their own area in the shared space. Designer Kristen Panitch designed built-in bunk beds and a bookcase/desk, which helped maximize the space and keep the room organized. The design of the room is definitely all-boy, but check back in tomorrow for their sister's (Jane) pink bedroom.

Name: Mila (6 weeks)
Location: Glendora, California
Room Size: 9 1/2' x 14'

Designing the perfect nursery can be a little overwhelming. Alex and Jackie decided to let interior designer Jenika Kurtz take over the process. Jenika has experience designing nurseries for friends, so they were really excited to get her help and advice on their special room.

Name: Rachel Pally (the designer) & Kevin Circosta (the musician)
Location: Los Feliz - Los Angeles, California
Size: 2500 square feet
Years lived in: 7 years

Rachel and Kevin's love story is right out of a movie. They met in preschool, lost contact after high school, and reconnected again after college and fell in love. Their parents are close friends and both families have similar values. Right before I arrived, Rachel had whipped together the most amazing apple cobbler with fresh apples. Kevin had soul music playing on the record player. I immediately felt at home and didn't want to leave.

Name: Matt DeLeva
Location: Silver Lake - Los Angeles, California
Size: 400 square feet
Years lived in: 1 1/2 years

When Matt measured his home to give me the exact square footage, we both couldn't believe that his place was only 400 square feet. Even though his house is small and a rental, he took the time to customize it to fit his needs. He is so proud of his small home and it shows!

Name: Adrianna Lopez and Paul Olson
Location: Belmont Shore, - Long Beach, California
Size: 1600 square feet
Years lived in: 2 1/2 years

I met Adrianna through a friend who shared a few pictures of her stylish home. I was blown away by the cultured aesthetic and attention to detail. When I met Adrianna in person, her fun personality matched the aesthetic and I couldn't believe that this was her first try at interior design. I am pretty certain that she could turn it into a full-time career.

Name: Lindsey Pollard, Retake Director on Family Guy
Location: San Rafael Hills - Pasadena, California
Size: 1800 square feet
Years lived in: 3 years

Lindsey was living in a small house in Silver Lake when her realtor found her current home in the San Rafael Hills. The house was larger than what she was looking for, but it had so many positive things going for it; including good value, an older community, plenty of peace and quiet quiet and mainly, a beautiful view.

010512AdirAbergelHouseTour_MainImage.jpg

Name: Adir Abergel and Marcello Freire
Location: Mar Vista - Los Angeles, California
Size: 1600 square feet
Years lived in: 5 years

Adir and Marcello's home truly feels like a getaway retreat. The entire living room opens up to a fantastic outdoor area with intimate seating and hot tub. It is no surprise that they love to entertain and often stay at home versus leaving their very inviting house.
