My personal decorating style is cozy, romantic and a little rustic, with a sense of whimsy.

I bought a house, and I've been decorating it.

My wife and I battle over home decor. My style goes from Gothic to Baroque. Hers is minimalist.

At first, my bedroom had flowers and yellow walls and huge furniture in plastic that was orange and green - and furry green bed cover and everything. Then, I think the day I turned 13, I painted the walls black and put Kurt Cobain on the wall and just changed everything into a dark theme.

I love to decorate a room - from the furniture to the objects to the books.

I'm suspicious of places that look decorated. I can understand why people do it, but you see too many cushions or a piece of fabric hanging and it's, like, 'Ugh!' A good house with good art will always work, no matter what.

I'd always want to decorate my bedroom. I needed visuals and to be stimulated by things. I'm still like that. It's the way I see the world.

My home has a split personality. Some of the rooms are very French antique. Think Aubusson rugs, turquoise ceramic jugs, sandbag pillows, and broken birdcages. The other half is very Aztec. Neon ikat fabric pillows, vintage books piled up to the ceiling, and shutters from Bali.

What people respond to in my room makeovers is the daring design - fearless colors, bold fabrics and occasionally outlandish decor.
