I found these fantastic images of the home of Black Eyed Peas singer and artist will.i.am. The lower level of his three-storey 1920s Spanish residence in Los Feliz has been transformed into a lasciviously 'pimped-out' studio by interior designer, Liana Reid, with a modern French style and plenty of luxurious finishes.I especially like the fact that will.i.am wallpapered his fridge with the damask motif theme, the same used in the lounge room, as well as replacing the handle with a vintage door pull. Liana Reid has opted for high-end flocked wallpaper (raised velvet from Diamond Foam and Fabric) and furnishings that specifically absorb the sound.(Sourced from Bob Chamberlin / Los Angeles Times)
I stumbled across the photos above from LM Pagano's mansion in Hollywood Hills and thought I'd share... If you've never heard of LM Pagano read the paragraph below and you'll appreciate her style even more.
"As a teenager, Pagano made shirts out of antique fabric for Bob Dylan and embroidered jeans for David Lee Roth. In her 20s, she worked as a chef for Steven Spielberg. Later, when she was Nicolas Cage's assistant, the actor came by her house in Santa Monica, fell in love with what he saw and asked her to decorate a beach house for him in Malibu. Since then, Pagano says, she has done 15 houses and two boats for Cage and members of his family. Other clients include Johnny Depp, who hired Pagano to turn a yacht into what she describes as a "combination of the Orient Express and an Art Deco gypsy caravan."

I love Pagano's eclectic style. She's not afraid to incorporate lavish furnishings with vintage worn lampshades and old Chinese sculptures which add character and charm. I especially love the 19th century French bronze hot-air balloon lamp which hangs in the hallway (image 2).
