a good movie; a great crisp sound
system, preferably piped throughout
the house, especially in the
bathroom! I’m a huge advocate for
natural, organic mattresses. Custom
comfort in LA makes an amazing
medium firm mattress that’s stuffed
with organic cotton and wool -- the
perfect night’s rest, the ultimate
luxury! It’s like sleeping on a cloud.
I travel so much for work these days
that I dream of nights at home

cuddling my beautiful baby dog,
Daisy, a soft coated wheaten terrier.
You have a great knack for detail
and incorporating a melting pot
of styles. Where do you think
that flare comes from?
MLB: My personal style is certainly
eclectic. I love so many styles from
so many periods and find for myself
the perfect interior blends together
pieces from many centuries that
have a common thread in color, form
or mere beauty. I guide myself
thinking of the words of the great
Oscar Wilde, “All beautiful things
belong to the same age”. For my
clients, I don’t give them my style.
cultures, colours, tastes; they all
become the threads I weave my
decorative tapestry from. It is the
most important thing for me to see
the world and experience all the
beauty that each new culture
has to offer.
What Luxury items in your abode
could you never live without?
MLB: My must haves for the home
are my small moments of comfort;
fabulous cotton sheets are my
everyday luxury; double stuffed
down pillows for the bed; large
Scottish cashmere throws to snuggle
