Overhauling the Cape Cod–style home, with its decidedly non-L.A. traditional molding and leafy wallpapers didn’t faze the couple at all—Jim operates High Noon Entertainment, the production company behind TLC’s Cake Boss and HGTV hits such as House Hunters, My First Sale and My Big Amazing Renovation. They hired interior designer Erinn Valencich after Jim noticed her work on HGTV and the network’s website.

In place of Cape Cod-style trims and colors, wallpapers and fabrics with bold, modern prints now fill the home’s three levels. There are touches of Hollywood glam, but Valencich designed around her client’s lifestyle. In the living room, where the homeowners and their two young boys often gather, the sofas have refined lines but their frames are upholstered with tough and easy-to-clean Ultrasuede.
