| The plush living room with cool purple sofas, white shag and accented with gold. The mansion had a total of 40 rooms. I love those sofas and in another color would still be fabulous. |
 |
| Since 'Orchid' is the color of the year, this pink color is similar and in the same family of color. I believe the house was on Sunset Boulevard in Holmby Hills. The Mediterranean style home epitomizes the Southern Cal movie star home. |
 |
| Mickey at the grand piano of white + gold; note the colorful throw pillows and Jayne above on a balcony in a gold gown. |
 |
| Look how timeless this is! The gallery wall which has been SO popular the last few years; love her outfit. |
 |
| Jayne adored pink and hearts - note the heart shaped fireplace with gold mirrored walls and another shot of the California cool living room. White with pops of color - so in style today. |
 |
| This a really sumptuous room - note the bear (literally) rug - animal rugs are in style now and the super mod chair which looks custom. The ceiling looks mirrored. Lots of metal accents in the house as well, note the doors above. |
 |
| Mirrored headboard, black satin, pink walls and Jayne living up to her sex symbol image; this room could have done with some more furniture. Note the decorative candles above the bed. |
 |
| This is so over the top, I don't know where to begin! the gold fixtures, marble vanity top and pink shag rug which covers the walls and ceiling! Even the lipsticks are staged to match the hardware. |
 |
| Let's not forget the heart shaped tub! Sweet boudoir chair next to the tub; note the mod hanging lamps.Would you carpet your bathroom like this? |
 |
| The FAMOUS heart shaped pool in the back of the property with two small decorative hearts in the pool. It was built by Mickey, who had been a plumber and carpenter. |
 |
| Note the statues and 'I love you Jayne' in the pool; Mickey and Jayne posing in the pool. (images LIFE ) Its interesting to note that Jayne bought the property from Rudy Vallee and wrote to suppliers for a lot of the furniture. She received a lot of it for free. Thoughts? If you have never seen this property before, it is a must see now. Its too bad it was demolished, it would have been a great place to visit. If you don't know, Jayne and Mickey's daughter is actress Mariska Hargitay who has been the star of "Law & Order" for years. Mariska was in the back seat of the car with her two little brothers when Jayne was driving and tragically crashed into a truck and died in Louisiana in 1967.

 |
| Who needs a McMansion?? This has 4 bedrooms and is 2,016 square feet - Theresa ordered it with as few walls as possible to keep it light and airy |
 |
| I still can't believe this is the living room! Fabulous! Theresa's ingenious use of wood, lino, crystal, metal and marble is unlike anything I have seen -and the pediment is so unusual here above the sofa instead of curtains. None of the windows have curtains, they have metal swirly things (I have no idea what they are called!!) Theresa is the master mixer of textures - |
 |
| This kitchen is so unique - Theresa Smith had all the standard cabinets taken out and put in her own idea of what would work here such as a retail shop table and antique vintage cabinets-on the right shows her collections of white antique ironstone and the industrial sink and faucet - notice the metal all over mixing with the wood (note the window above the sink and the decorative metal accent used as 'curtains') |
 |
| Close up of the fab kitchen details-she also added an outdoor wire metal table with glass top and chairs for eating |
 |
| The red office and details on the left of the sun room on the above right; note an actual front porch here!! So cool - |
 |
| The master bedroom in all white with superb use of textures here giving the room a truly vintage feel - metal, glass, pearls, marble crystal and her grandmother's collection of beads, pearls, hats and bags |
 |
| Theresa's husband Craig makes and sells candelabra's like this one shown - so unique |
 |
| Close up of the bed and side tables |
