I got the idea for the kitchen cabinet ring pulls from the grips and prop makers who use them on their carts because theyre flush. (Christine Cotter / LAT)
I like white on white on white. I painted the floors white because I wanted a sense of openness and calm. The bed is the only one that my father designed. The headboard is a console that sits directly on the platform. The middle cabinets open to house extra pillows, so the lines of the bed remain clean. The cabinets on both ends of the console open down and become end tables. I love it because its simple and elegant, and its the only thing I own that my father designed. The painting is by Nancy Nye. I love that she did a close-up of a rose, but in chocolate. I found the chair in what used to be Architectural Details on Melrose, and I re-covered it in a crazy pink. The drapes are from IKEA.

In the kitchen, I couldnt figure out where to put the paper towel holder. I dont have that much wall space, so I put it on the ceiling. I can reach up and grab it. Tall people love it. People always laugh when they see it. I talked the maintenance man out of that crazy clock when I was on a location scout. I thought it was weird and I liked it. A lot of the things I like crack me up. (Christine Cotter / LAT)
