Los Angeles interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, internationally renowned interior designer and star of the reality show Million Dollar Decorators, recently turned 
his hands to creating a dollhouse, in collaboration with his fellow interior designer from the TV show, award winning designer Mary McDonald. Using fabric designs from the Schumacher Collections from both designers, the pair joined forces to create a fantasy dollhouse to raise money for the UCLA Children’s Discovery and Innovation Institute at the Mattel Children’s Hospital. The dollhouse, created by Bullard and McDonald, along with dollhouses from eighteen other top designers was sold at the Los Angeles Kaleidoscope Ball.

Martyn Lawrence Bullard was responsible for the first floor of the Georgian style 
dollhouse while Mary McDonald designed the lower level. Both featured their fabric lines from Schumacher. The entrance foyer of the dollhouse features walls covered in the pattern Chinois Palais, while the tiny settee was upholstered using the fabric called Vanderbilt Velvet. The dining room also features fabric walls using the Garden of Persia pattern while the curtains and floors are covered in a delightful chevron pattern called Firenze. In the living room the designer used the pattern Don’t Fret on the walls and the drapery was from the Chinois Palais pattern used in the foyer. Upstairs Martyn utilized several of his fabric designs with an emphasis on his chevron creation. The gilded bedroom complete with red end tables and canopy bed uses his Mughal leaf pattern while the guest bedroom features a bold graphic black and white design.
The Designer Dollhouse by Bullard and McDonald auctioned off at the Kaleidoscope Ball contributed to the more than $1.8 million that was raised for the Children’s Hospital.
