Million Dollar Decorators

Last night as I was lying in bed I got a text from Cassie asking if I was watching Million Dollar Decorators.  At the time I was watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall (love!) and didn't want to stop; however, when it was over I switched over to Bravo. Well I'm SO happy I did. I have been meaning to watch this show but recently when I have flipped to Bravo it's been nothing but The Real Housewives of somewhere, which I like every now and then, but haven't been interested in recently. So I was happy for the notification that it was on because now I'm officially hooked. Therefore I decided to do a little post about the designers: Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Kathryn Ireland, Jeffrey Alan Marks (and his hottie boy toy), Mary McDonald and Nathan Turner. I'm almost positive they are all based in L.A. and they seem somewhat friendly on the show when interacting with one another. They are all very well-known, and actually do very good work. I was skeptical when I first heard about this show in the spring because I figured it would be like some of the decorating from TLC or HGTV which I'm not crazy about. Here are some rooms by each of the designer...

                                                    Martyn Lawrence Bullard:
loved this headshot so couldn't resist putting a picture of all the designers...


If I ever have a home theater this would be a pretty cool design, especially if my house is in Palm Springs or Scottsdale...




Love this outside area...


Love these chairs.

Mary McDonald:
I'm not even going to comment on any of the pictures because I'm obsessed with them all. She's officially my favorite designer on the show. The pictures won't get very big, but I recommend going to her website!! (just noticed you can click on the pictures to make them bigger!)

He may be my 2nd favorite designer on the show! He is also a party planner! What a cutie...

Million Dollar Decorators comes on Bravo at 10pm on Tuesdays! If you enjoy interior design at all you should definitely watch! I could definitely appreciate the stress and the deadlines after growing up with my mom...
