When offered a huge pinch of workplace area at Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood, screenwriter/producer Aaron Sorkin—The Social Ne2rk, The West Wing, and, most just lately, HBO’;s The Newsroom—was at a loss about how to add flair to the blank walls and generally saltless room. “It truly is not that I have negative taste,” he advised Architectural Digest, which recently had a search about Sorkin’;s workspace. “It truly is that I have no taste.” To solve the issue, he recruited “tasty” high-finish celebrity designer and star personality of Million Dollar Decorators, Martyn Lawrence Bullard. The outcome? In Bullard’;s personal phrases: “It is very masculine and previous Hollywood, but the floor and wall coverings give it a somewhat hipper, much more contemporary come to feel.”
By the time he rolled up his sleeves for this venture, Bullard was already familiar with Sorkin’;s style, obtaining already decorated 2 of the producer’;s homes and an additional of his offices. “Aaron loves that 1940s writer’;s atelier vibe, so I developed the area as a cross among a traditional Hollywood creative office and the executive suite of a studio powerhouse,” Bullard told AD. Right here, he brought in a 19th-century executive desk, 1940s French club chairs, vintage lighting, sea-grass carpeting, and a velvet sofa “best for courting inspiration (or taking naps),” as the magazine puts it. In the waiting room (beneath): Jonathan Adler chairs and sofa, plus posters of Sorkin’;s most lauded perform.

Oh, and these blank walls? Bullard outfitted them in striped grasscloth coverings and black-and-white portraits of renowned authors, such as Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller.
