Chin up: there's relief in sight for the ennui one might feel about the current lineup of design-centric TV. Although the details of Bravo's in-development Million Dollar Decorators are few and far between at this stage of the game, the early word is that Martyn Lawrence-Bullard will be one of the designers we'll get to traipse around with as he works his magic on the homes of the rich and famous. Sure, the LA-based Lawrence-Bullard has a line of fabrics, a furniture collection and a celebrity client list that'll make your ears pop. But how will he fare within Bravo's ever-revolving lineup of docudrama talent? Pretty freakin' fabulously, and here's why:
1. Because with this this accent, and this home, he practically oozes dramatic flair:
2. Because his work is always sumptuously layered, even when it's a kids' room:
3. Because when Julia Roberts wears one of your fabrics as a skirt in a best-selling memoir-turned-major motion picture, you know you're on to something:
4. Because a mind that designs furniture like this will never be boring:
5. Because he not only has access to Cher (she's one of his clients), he's got the personality that's able to get along with Cher:
