Elaine Culotti: “Focus on your goal, be flexible but resolute because the greatest room in the world is the room for improvement. My other advice is burn both ends of the candle, work hard, don’t complain and laugh as much as possible. You will sleep so well, then the next day repeat.”

Barth was brought on to the project by one of the house’s owners, a designer/developer named Elaine Culotti, who bought it with some partners for $7.7 million from the estate of ’50s leading lady Kathryn Grayson after Grayson died in 2010. Barth had worked with Culotti on the 2010 Esquire House, where he installed the home studio in a place known as “The Ultimate Bachelor Pad.” Granted, sponsors were paying for it to be called that, but it wasn’t too far off the mark. Culotti’s idea for the Grayson house was to bring in an international roster of designers and give each of them a room to do with what they saw fit. David Bromstad, Ralph Pucci, and Sami Hayek, among others, did just that, but Culotti wasn’t done.
