Reviews

"It was love at first white-stucco wall when Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons and partner Todd Spiewak walked into this 1922 Spanish-Moorish revival in Los Angeles, designed by Stiles O. Clements, the architect of the city's El Capitan Theatre. Seeking dcor that honored the house's character, especially those ceilings, the pair chose Steven Johanknecht, a painter and student of art history who is a co-founder of L.A. design firm Commune. The designer's answer: Look at the home as an artwork itself, and choose furnishings whose textures, shapes and colors align with the house. The result, featured in Anthony Iannacci's book Hollywood Interiors: Style and Design in Los Angeles, is an artistic but livable oasis for the owners and their two dogs." - The Wall Street Journal

"Over the last decade, Los Angeles has become known as a hub for great design, thanks in part to the industry that drives its culture and distinguishes it from every other city: Hollywood. In his new book, Hollywood Interiors, art critic and architecture historian Anthony Iannacci sets out to illustrate some of the most interesting interior design being done by L.A.-based decorators, discussing some of the conditions that have fostered the city's current aesthetic." - Architectural Digest
