He s a house flipper or, at least he was until the real estate market tanked. He buys a wreck, fixes

A re you watching Bravo s popular reality series Flipping Out ? The show is now in its 4th season, and I ve been watching since the beginning. For me it brings back nightmares memories of working florida vacation rentals orlando as an assistant to a brilliant but demanding designer myself. Jeff Lewis has definitely mellowed out on the show over the years, though. (Makes me wonder if my designer has, too? For the sake of whoever is working for her now, let s hope!)
Jeff lives and works from a beautiful house he renovated in Los Angeles called Valley Oak. He s been trying to sell it off and on since the reno was finished, and it s back on the market for $2.495 million. Let s take a look!
Jeff says he hasn t seen former florida vacation rentals orlando BFF and business partner Ryan Brown since the Fall of 09 when they had a very ugly and public falling out on the show. I took a poll at the time to see who you were siding with in the feud, and you can see the (surprising florida vacation rentals orlando to me) results here .
Jeff does seem to have mellowed a bit, thank goodness. There is no way I could ever work for someone like him. I love the show regardless florida vacation rentals orlando though. The Valley Oak home is beautiful, florida vacation rentals orlando but not my style at all. It is too sparse and neat and tidy for me and my family.
I faithfully watch that show and sympathize for all his employees. You would have to have nerves of steel and a thick hide to work for him. All that said there is something I really like about him. It s a love/hate thing. I would love to see his house in person eat a mexican lunch in his dining room:) I adore that painting in there btw.
Honestly, I know rooms are supposed to flow and all, but I really couldn t tell one room from the other Obviously, I m not a designer and so have no concept of continuation and all that, but I like a change of scenery when I move from room to room Not my style at all, but I m sure there s plenty of folk out there that would love this look and that s the great thing out being able to use our homes to express our personal taste! Lx
Julia I have the same type of, ummm memories florida vacation rentals orlando when I watch this show, too! I get kind of stressed out for all of Jeff s assistants and sub-contractors. Reminds me of a job I had in L.A. and I ll leave it at that. Nonetheless, I still love that crazy show. Thanks for the tour of Jeff s house!
He s a house flipper or, at least he was until the real estate florida vacation rentals orlando market tanked. He buys a wreck, fixes it up, and then lives in it until it sells and he moves on. This one hasn t sold as quickly as ones in the past, though, so he s been there for awhile.
Jeff is crazy, but he has an energy and charisma that pulls you in. Of course, Bravo s great editing keeps the most mundane occurrences seem interesting. And, you have to love his assistant, Jenny, and her coolness to deal with his neuroses.
He should of listed florida vacation rentals orlando in March, the market above $2,000k has stalled in LA and it is hard to get more than what was paid in 2007 no matter what improvements have been made. Also too much bad karma in that house. But that is just my opinion.
I am a huge fan of this show Julia. Jeff really cracks me up the way he talks to his employees, but really, I m not sure whether he s doing that for the show or if this is really his personality. The housing market is still terrible in SoCal, so he ll be lucky if he finds a buyer for that price.
Oh, missed florida vacation rentals orlando this episode, yeah, something to put on tonight as of course it is on my TiVo! Jeff cracks me up, he can t really be that bad or can he? Curious about him putting his house on the market. Janell
I have to live in a highly personalized space; having decided to only have art and decorative pieces that mean something, evoke a memory/feeling, to my family, so this home doesn t appeal to the heart of me even though it is gorgeous. While Jeff is a perfectionist, and has a cold streak, he clearly florida vacation rentals orlando has sincere affection for his employees that they are aware of or they wouldn t stay. Somehow, somewhere, he shows them that
Beautiful house although I don t watch the show. (Love all of Bravo s other shows though, just never got into this one.) I, however, can relate to working as a design assistant to a crazy but brilliant designer! Even though I was doing interior design not fashion, every time I watch The Devil Wears Prada it brings back all of those memories. I m new to your blog, have you ever done a post on Meryl Streep s house from that movie? I ll have to do a quick search and find out!
I don t watch the series florida vacation rentals orlando regularly, but Bravo is my favorite network so I do catch it from time to time. The drama kills me but the resulting homes are stunning. I am a huge fan of the Jeff Lewis aesthetic.
I have watched Flipping Out from episode one. Jeff has mellowed. He is incredibly funny. I hated to see how things went bad with he and Ryan but I do think Ryan knew exactly what he was doing. I m really enjoying this season. Can t wait to see what he does with that Mexican Restaurant. I will be happy for Jeff to sell this house so we can see what he moves into next.
I ve been tuning in this year but this season seems rather tame. I m eager to see tonight s ep as the commercial is him holding a crying baby haha should be interesting! I also want to jump inside florida vacation rentals orlando the TV every time they re eating mexican food! Valley Oak is not really my personal taste, but it is beautiful, clean and austere. He s so Type A and fastidious I thought he would keep Valley Oak because he likes it so much. Great post!
Uh! I totally love Jeff Lewis and his crazy brain. I love everyone who works with him. I love Valley Oak. I love his clients. I love his designs. florida vacation rentals orlando And I totally LOVE Zoila. I hab to get my bikini wax, Jeff! Why you need to know?!? Wow, I totally florida vacation rentals orlando love Zoila. But now, wait a minute! When Jenny starts to dance I just lose it. Jenny is crazy-hilarious. I love everything about the show!
Watching Flipping Out if like watching a train wreck ..you don t want to look but just can t seem to help yourself!?!?! It s great entertainment to say the least! LOL..I just discovered your blog and hope you don t mind that I added you to my blog list?! Hope you ll come by and visit me soon )
I have to admit I LOVE Jeff! His home is beautiful, although it would be hard to live in such a sterile environment. So enjoyed his stalking drive by at a former clients home on the last episode. Also, I am seriously addicted to this website florida vacation rentals orlando I need help!
Never a fan of the autopsy ready kitchen and a sterile house that makes me think of Barney s love pad on How I Met Your Mother. Nothing says no woman lives here like stainless florida vacation rentals orlando steel and black white. Loved the front steps and landscaping.
Hi .I just came across your blog, and I love all the pictures you have posted. By chance do you know the artist that did the photography in the living room. It s the room with the fire place and tv thank you..
Hola Jeff, vivo en Guatemala, ciudad, me encanta ver su programa, lo miro con mi hija de 12 años, lo disfrutamos tanto que cuando termina el programa florida vacation rentals orlando hablamos de las casas tan lindas que deja.. Esperamos dure muchas temporadas. Felicidades es un gran diseñador.
Usually I like Jeff s homes he has designed but I was surprised I didn t care for the Kitchen of the Year design. It was too much black with some white and too bachelor looking florida vacation rentals orlando for my tastes. I like pops of black but this kitchen is too dark. He is a hoot to watch but I could never work for him and take his temper florida vacation rentals orlando tantrums.
I agree with Beth: The painting of the house with brick-colored florida vacation rentals orlando siding that s in disrepair is wonderful! I noticed it (or one by the same artist) florida vacation rentals orlando used to be behind Jeff s dining florida vacation rentals orlando table last season and now it s behind Gage s desk. If anyone knows the name of the artist, I d love to purchase an original from the artist. Very reminiscent florida vacation rentals orlando of Andrew Wyeth to me love it!
