She said she was inspired by the interiors featured in films, adding: 'I loved the film Something’s Gotta Give, which reminds me of their style. 'They are very high-end. I think I may have taken them out of their comfort zone!' Brooke Gomez said: 'The inspiration book was the bible. It is very helpful to have clients know what they like. Bethenny wanted calm and a ‘less is better’ approach. She knew what she wanted, and there was no hesitation. And that truly drove the process as a whole.”' EXCLUSIVE: Bethenny Frankel turns to billionaire pal for support - while ex-husband Jason is STILL living at their $5 million home Bethenny Frankel’s estranged husband is requesting primary custody of their daughter…as it’s revealed he’s ‘not going down without a fight’ The cream-and-beige palette in the open living and dining space is accented with pops of orange-red—a favorite color for Bethenny and the signature color for Skinnygirl, as she said: 'Red is my lucky color and a power colour.'
