Yes! That's right, Lara Spencer, from "The Insider"!
The other day, I caught an episode of the Kathy Griffin Show...
Lara Spencer was helping Kathy
redesign and redecorate her whole house!

great suggestions to Kathy,
I became very curious about Lara's own home.

This is what I found:
Lara and her family recently moved
from the East Coast to Los Angelos.
She renovated this mid century home
and added lots of fun
and glamorous touches throughout.

No wonder Kathy asked for her help!

wow her house is amazing - i need to become her friend so she will help me!
love it! (although, given a fat budget, couldn't we all do great decorating?!) :)
I love it,
but
@Anita doesn't matter if you have money or not if you don't have style it's not going to make a difference. Now, I'm off to read your guest post.
Just found your wonderful blog!
Happy Thursday ~~

She does have a very hip, fun style! Love the tufted sofa! And, doesn't everyone have a fantasy about lounging in a pit,complete with a semi-circle sofa!!!
Oh, my favorites are the tufted sofa and the geometric red/white throw on the bench at the end of her bed...great touches!!
Love her and I am so mad I missed the Kathy G show. I will have to try to catch a rerun. I loved seeing her new home because I remember seeing pics of her old house and it was also fabulous but more traditional with lots of tartan plaid. What a change!
Who knew? And you are a Bravo fan too? I often wonder if I should be concerned about how many brain cells I must be loosing watching the Real Housewives...all except Orange County (cannot take THEM).
Best,
Colleen
PS Can't wait to hear about your trip to NYC
Wow, rooms like these make me reconsider my "problem" with mid-century decor. Love the children's room, too. Going to check out your guest post!
Very stylish! Makes me think of Jonathan Adler.
The Arco lamp has been on my wishlist for some time now. Love it every time I see it!
amazing rug in the kids room!
Wow. It has such great style, but it still looks like a family home where everyone can relax and be comfortable.
I viewed that show, too, and she did a great job. She is extremely personable!
Yay for a guest post! And her home is stunning! I love the fireplace that separates the room. East meets west.
I saw that show too ! Her house is beautiful.
That kitchen is the coolest! If she gets leaves her current show then maybe she could get her own design show! xo
I'm totally impressed! Who knew??!!
I never would have thought that her design style would be soo modern and chic! I love it!
Her home is stunning..I am off to read your guest post..Have a wonderful day,sweetie
I loved the way she designed Kathy's house it was beautiful and her house is just gorgeous! I love it!
Someone else posted the double fireplace this week, so maybe we are trending. It makes complete sense to me! Really fun color and the kitchen is timeless to me!Thanks for a great post,
Liz
WOW! - this is the EXACT reason i need to be rich - so i could have ALL that *teehee* - LOVE IT! .. i can't imagine what the chandalier cost! - GO HER!
Her home looks so fun and comfortable! That chandelier over the dining table - WOW! She really did a great job!
i saw that episode too and meant to look her up. thanks, now i don't have to. i love the sofa with the yellow chair and her kid's room. good job lara!
I saw that episode of the D List and the place looks so amazing! I love all the pieces and I was so glad when Kathy finally stepped back and told her to do her thing! Love it!
Who knew?? Those spaces are beautiful!
I love her style on the show and wouldn't have thought her home would be so nice and designed by her!
OOh this house is so fun. Sometimes midcentury homes can look kind of cold but this one has too much whimsy!
Wow! Lara's house is gorgeous. I would ask for her design help too. I love the fireplace and the boy's bedroom.
I'm still trying to figure out how anyone LIVES in a home like this! It's so lovely, I'd be afraid to touch anything, let alone sit down anywhere ...
Love that blue couch! Thanks so much for the guest post, turned out great.
swoon that circular couch and double sided fireplace!
OMG that light blue couch and yellow chair! Perfection!
Luvs!
What a delightful home! Love her style.

Wow! I would never have guessed but I love this!
Love that she's using wallpaper in strategic places. The kids rooms are so crisp and uncluttered. How does she do that???
She is talented! I love the yellow and blue touches in her living room!
OMG, who knew?!? She has amazing talent, I need her as a friend ASAP! Thanks for sharing!! Great guest post on Sogni e Sorrisi too!
Wow, who knew! What a great find...love it! xx
Wowser - great find! THANKS......KG
Yes, I have watched her since years ago when she was on Good Morning America!
Love her home! Who knew a TV personality would also have such a knack for interior design. Bravo. I wonder which window treatments she may suggest for me? I came across your post this afternoon while browsing interior design blogs and the topic of window treatment selection was very interesting to me. It is true that you must dress your windows appropriately to bring out their true beauty.

Bravo is the best. What did we do before it came around! I just realized I hadn't been over in a while...thought I was following and realized I wasn't. Fixed that right away!
I like Lara's fashion sense too and saw that episode of Kathy Griffin. Great style.
Super fab MCM stylin!!
Don't you love finding out about people's hidden talents? I saw that episode of KG, but its great to see Lara's home. Love the details..
I love all the design classics that she has in her home. I'm quite envious actually!:-)
We need to have a party there, with tiki torches and drinks that have names like "fuzzy navel" and "eeny teeny"- I am sure Lara would not mind us crashing her posh pad!!

I love her house, I think I wrote a post about it at one point.
I'm a bravo fan too :)
Have a wonderful Friday!

My teen would love the boys room with the hoop - I think he would like it with a lot more 'stuff' everywhere though!
WOW, she is tres talented. I am in love with her dining room light fixture!
She is so cute, and what a gorgeous place!

you know when I saw her on K.Griffin's show a few weeks ago it took me by surprise. first, i will DENY DENY DENY that i watch Griffin's show. But IF i DID, i would think it was funny, if i watched it that is. and admitted it. and saw laura on there. which i did. if i watched it.
here's my take on that:
1. chick is talented. both of them. but one has more klass. but we won't get into that. okay, one is more visually talented, one if pretty darn funny.
2. girl has PATIENCE of JOB to work for Ms. G.... can you imagine?
3. i think it's funny that they're good friends now!
4. i would want to be a fly on the wall during those meetings.
