The beautiful Hollywood Hills home that interior designer and blogger Mark D. Sikes shares with his partner, Michael Griffin, was featured in House Beautiful in 2012. Since then, a bedroom-makeover-turned-full-house-redesign landed the same home (with its new look) in the pages of Veranda's newest issue. "If I was going to have a larger master bedroom, I had to have gracie wallpaper on the walls… " writes Sikes on his blog. "But then I realized I couldn't have both a bedroom and a dining room with chinoiserie wallpaper (my dining room at the time had gracie wallpaper on the walls). One thing led to another and before I knew it the whole house was being redecorated." And so, the transformation began.
Here, we take a look at some of the before and afters from the home.

The dining room after. Mirrored walls reflect the gardens and become the perfect place for an art gallery.
