Missoni Home Sale
Did anyone notice Rachel Zoe’s “major” bedding in the last episode of The Rachel Zoe Project? During the ubiquitous Rachel’s beleaguered assistant helps her pack scene, the camera panned across her bedroom and got a shot of her beautiful Missoni bedding and perfectly made bed. I was immediately jealous. And then wondered: Do you think Rachel makes Rodger tuck in the corners all military style each morning? I bet! I’ve been wishing for a little Missoni in my own life, and just in time allmodern.com is taking up to 30% off of all Missoni Home through September 5th. And shipping is free!

Interview With Celebrity Stylist Denis De Souza
I recently interviewed celebrity hairstylist Denis De Souza over on Hair On The Brain. Denis is the hair color whiz behind Rachel Bilson’s gorgeous brunette locks. He can be found expertly painting on high and lowlights at Andy LeCompte Salon in West Hollywood. Denis was kind enough to answer some Take Sunset questions about his transition from native Brazil to Los Angeles, his favorite LA hot spots, and more. Check it out!
Take Sunset: How do you like living in LA?
De Souza: I’ve lived in big cities like Sao Paulo in Brazil, London, and now LA. I’ve been in LA for 10 years now, and I think it is fantastic! Not only do we have the best weather, but in a two hours, we have the desert, the beach, the mountains, the snow… We are really blessed.
Take Sunset: Since moving to LA, where have you lived?
De Souza: When I first moved here, I lived in Hancock Park. Now I live in Beverly Hills, but right on the border of West Hollywood.
Take Sunset: How do you like that area?
De Souza: I’m in a very quiet and safe area, but it’s just blocks away from all the shops, cafes, and restaurants on Robertson. And even better, I’m only a few blocks away from Andy LeCompte Salon where I work. It’s convenient and quiet. I love it! At the moment I rent there, but I’m hoping I can buy something next year.
Take Sunset: Do you gravitate toward a particular interior design style?
De Souza: Because I rent at the moment, I haven’t really gone all the way with a design that I like. I pick things I like and enjoy having at my apartment, but when I get my own place, I will trick it out just the way I want it to be! I love Kelly Wearstler, and I’d like to have a Hollywood Regency style mixed with a more contemporary look and simple lines.
Take Sunset: I love Kelly Wearstler! I miss Top Design. What’s your favorite LA restaurant?
De Souza: There are a few restaurants I love in LA, and that I go to often with friends, clients, or even on a date, like Cecconi’s, Sur, The Little Door, Mozza, and The Soho House, which I love!
Take Sunset: What are your favorite places in LA to shop for clothes?
De Souza: For clothes I like Opening Ceremony, Church, Maxfield…
Take Sunset: Where do you go for housewares?
De Souza: I like to browse at Cassina and all the design shops between Robertson and Beverly to get inspiration for when I’m ready to decorate my new home.
Thanks for answering all my questions, Denis! For more information on Denis De Souza, visit his website at denisdesouza.com. Or go see him in person at:

ModOp Is ‘Home of the Times’
The Los Angeles Times featured Greg Steinberg and Alexandra Becket’s 2-bedroom home off Melrose Avenue as the ‘Home of the Times’ this week! Greg and Alexandra, of ModOp Design, are the flippers who did my current Highland Park listing, as well as this amazing flip in Silver Lake earlier this year.
The L.A. Times featured Greg and Alexandra’s own home, which Greg bought in 1992. He stripped away many of the Spanish style elements, bringing the home almost down to the beams last year and opening up the interior significantly.
There are plenty of mid-century modern design influences thought, like Heywood-Wakefield dining table, credenza, and Eames Hang-It-All.
They also added a kitchen with the help of the Los Angeles firm Marmol Radziner.
They added a privacy fence and hardwood back deck, as well.
Check out the entire feature and see more photographs over at latimes.com. Visit ModOp Design at modopdesign.com.
