This stunning home designed by Marc Canadell epitomises Hollywood perfectly, with its amazing scenery, luscious weather and its glamorous, laid-back vibe.  What could be more perfect than living in the Hollywood Hills, close to the city yet far enough to get away from it all?  Sigh! I love California but you have to have a fair amount of money to be able to experience it to the full (think trendy rooftop bars, shopping on Rodeo Drive and well, being able to afford a home like this!).

The views are just unreal…

This fantastic Hollywood guest house belongs to talented interior designer, Mary McDonald.  Isn’t it truly gorgeous?  This has to be one of my favourites.  I’m really into my stripes at the moment; the wallpaper in the image below looks so sophisticated.  I love Mary’s great attention to detail, for example where the pink colour of the stripe is reflected in the cushion pattern and again in the flowers, bringing everything together nicely.

She seems to have a good eye for colour and is an expert on introducing bright shades without the overall result being ‘OTT’ or brash.  The strong, clean lines and large, bold shapes make this a very modern home.

Looking at her stylish portfolio, I’d be more than happy to let Mary loose in my home to work her magic!
