Mary McDonald’s style is synonymous to glamour, grandeur, over the top, and architectural design. The 17,000-square-foot home she recently designed, distilled every one of those attributes mentioned above, from a very bold home library with custom wall paint to an impressive marble clad entryway. The home, located in Corona del Mar, California belongs to Jerrod Blandino and Jeremy Johnson couple behind the California-based cosmetics brand Too Faced.
If you ever watched the Bravo TV show Million Dollar Decorators, you may remember Mary McDonald’s exuberant design as she was one of the Interior Designers in the show. One of McDonald ’s consistent design elements is symmetry which she implements even in the least conventional forms, for instance in every one of Mary McDonald’s office desks; you’ll find a pair of table lamps, never one. Another design element that Mary often favors is the use of a three-color pallete, a yellow, grey and black bedroom, a pink, black and beige room and so forth.

McDonald, worked with Architect John Ilkcagla, to create the couple’s dream home with traditional French-style interiors with a modern twist. The entire process took five years and a half with some drama in between, which you can read all about over at Elle Decor.

If you thought you were not into purple, maybe after seeing this lavender office where the royal hue is combined with white, grey, and brass you change your mind.
