The Big Reveal! Barney's Pop Art Loft
The Inside Man
Name: Barney Santos
Location: Downtown Los Angeles
Style: Fun, artistic, modern loft
Go Los Angeles! I'd never had the opportunity to work with a vintage LA loft before, and it was a gas. Barney's loft was also a perfect job for our sponsor, Valspar Paint, because of the sheer height and length of his walls. With so much space, I really relied on the new color to warm up and make this room happen. And while I was nervous that the colors we chose might not work (there was nowhere to hide if they didn't), I think they're pretty much perfect. Check it out.

Phase 3 - Progress Report
Name: Barney Santos
Location: Downtown Los Angeles
Style: Fun, artistic, modern loft
Barney's wall is going green! With the help of Valspar Paint, we're finishing the final details of our Los Angeles makeover and preparing for the reveal on Thursday.
Barney has a loft in Downtown LA, and I met with him last month to figure out how we could add color and personality to his home. As a newlywed, Barney wanted to make the space more comfortable and livable for himself and his wife, Evelyn. We've been rearranging furniture, painting the walls, and adding artwork to personalize this huge, open space. Here's a run-down of what we've accomplished so far.

The Big Reveal! Jarrett's Bungalow Bar
The Inside Man
Name: Jarrett Knox
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Style: Mid-Century Bungalow Bar
I had so much fun doing this basement bar redesign with Valspar Paint and the homeowner, Jarrett. He wanted something bright and not too serious — the kind of place where he could host parties and poker nights.
Over the last five weeks, my team and I have been creating a fabulous 60s throwback to the golden age of basement bars. Check out larger photos and links to a before and after slideshow below the jump, and get inspired!

The Inside Man: Jarrett's Bungalow Bar
Phase 3 - Progress Report
Name: Jarrett Knox
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Style: Mid-Century Bungalow Bar
This is one of the most challenging of our Inside Man room redos, and we're nearing the final reveal! With the help of Valspar Paint, my team and I have been redesigning Jarrett's wood-paneled 'man cave.'
When I first saw Jarrett's basement, it was big, dirty, and dark, but it had a lot of potential to be a fun, laid-back space where Jarrett could host his regular poker game and have a drink with friends. Since that last meeting, there's been a lot of cleaning, priming, painting, striping, and filling the room with furniture to get it into shape. I'll post final photos of the room on Thursday, but until then, Jarrett's been sending me snapshots of the work so far. Here's a sneak peek of what's to come.
