"So much has happened in this room, and it's had a lot of transformations. I got this home more than 20 years ago and it used to be more of a crazy party house. Then my husband had a big, spiritual 10 years when he was a real seeker, so we had a lot of Indian pujas here. It's gone from partying, to spiritual things, to now a lot of kids, dogs and music."
"I like socialite, Upper East Side woman from the 1950s sort of chintzier things. David Netto has given me a lot of pieces over the years, like the African wood bowl. So it's kind of modern, ethnic, with a couple splashes of old-lady chintz."
"The eclectic living room in her 3,000-square-foot Hollywood Hills home reflects important chapters in her life and people who have come through the space. A Moroccan rug and other ethnic artifacts were gifts from interior designer and ex-fiance David Netto; vinyl records, a stereo console and a 1960 Wurlitzer piano mark Lee's influence."
Ione Skye's 3,000-square-foot Hollywood Hills living room serves as a personal museum documenting her life journey. The space contains Moroccan rugs and ethnic artifacts from ex-fiancé David Netto, vinyl records and a 1960 Wurlitzer piano reflecting her husband Ben Lee's influence, and her own paintings. The room has evolved dramatically over two decades, transitioning from a party house to a spiritual sanctuary during her husband's spiritual seeking phase involving Indian pujas, and now functioning as a family-centered space filled with children, dogs, and music. Skye's aesthetic blends 1950s Upper East Side sophistication with modern ethnic pieces and vintage chintz elements, creating an eclectic environment that authentically represents her artistic sensibility and life experiences.
