"Haute couture brought actress Ellen Pompeo and interior designer Martyn Lawrence-Bullard together. In 2006, Pompeo, who plays Dr. Meredith Grey on Grey&amp;#039;s Anatomy, was visiting Paris for the semiannual cavalcade of the highest of high fashion. Lawrence-Bullard was there as well, accompanying his longtime client and friend Cher. While he was awaiting the singer&amp;#039;s arrival at the Christian Dior show, the Los Angeles\u2013based decorator struck up a conversation with Pompeo and her husband, music producer Chris Ivery. It was a front-row match made in heaven.  The timing of their meeting was serendipitous, as Pompeo had recently purchased a classic 1920s Spanish-style home in the Hollywood Hills, where, according to local lore, Ronald Reagan had once lived.  For the decor, Pompeo&amp;#039;s points of reference fall along the shores of the Mediterranean. She has a pronounced affection for Morocco, Spain, Tuscany, and the South of France\u2014not only for their design traditions but also for their lifestyles that celebrate casual entertaining, hearty food, and sun-kissed repose. &amp;quot;Ellen&amp;#039;s basically a very easy, relaxed person who likes her home to be easy and relaxed as well,&amp;quot; Lawrence-Bullard says. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s none of that star-diva craziness.&amp;quot;  As Pompeo puts it, &amp;quot;This house is perfect for our family,&amp;quot; which now includes the couple&amp;#039;s first child, Stella Luna. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s all about swimming, eating, and hanging out with friends. Martyn jokes that we live like college kids\u2014people are coming and going all the time. What can I say? It&amp;#039;s a happy place.&amp;quot; Please take the ELLEDECOR.com survey. We would like to find out how to provide you with the best experience possible. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
