Hollywood on Thames

Another story to recently feature in the Times, is this London home with filmstar looks. More 'West Coast' than West London, it was so 'easy on the lens' I shot much more than the magazine could feature. The home belongs to Jordana Yechiel, who owns a swimwear brand, Marcello Conti. Jordana put together much of the interior herself. Opening onto the garden is the very 'LA' contemporary kitchen and dining room, while upstairs owes a debt to The Great Gatsby with its Art Deco styling. Up again, and sticking with the movie theme, the chandelier in the dressing room reminded of one of Audrey Hepburn's hats in My Fair Lady. Given the nature of Jordana's business, it's a surprise that the classic Burt Lancaster movie, The Swimmer, is not referenced. Not a pool in sight!

Great photographs James.

Too much Interior Design for me... my fav..... can you guess?..... can you?...
Yep, the last one. Those poodles in Fuchsia are stunning. Are they Candles?

I'm quite taken with the bar myself although can understand tina's pull to the poodles. That colour hit is very much needed

I'm still hoping to move into that BOOK WORMS house you shot. There's not even one place for books in Hollywood on Thames.

Goodness me! I love the outside seating area. The whole place is just another world! Lovely to discover your blog via Tina and Sania! Caroline :-)

Thanks for all the great comments on this one. I nearly tripped up the stairs when I first saw the fuchsia dogs - quite an eyeful aren't they! They look a bit Jeff Koons to me. This house was certainly big on art, but yes Ruth, rather short on books.
