“If you look at all my work, you’ll see there is a lot of symmetry,” he says. “I love composing my interiors in the same style, with symmetric lines and strong composition.”
A breaking-wave photo that Gray shot from a helicopter inspired the design of his family’s living room. “We really wanted to lean into the coastal environment,” he says. Sofas are placed for calming symmetry. New built-ins offer tuck-in spots for the family’s travel finds.

When Gray and his husband, Jeff Richardson, first got the keys, the house was a bit sterile for their tastes: Rooms had generous 11-foot ceilings but fell short of the warm, welcoming feel Gray envisioned. “I knew after walking through that I could transform it from a modern farmhouse interior to a traditional coastal aesthetic, and I accepted the challenge in my heart,” says Gray, who was raised in Dallas in a decor-loving household (his mother was an interior design editor for Glamour magazine) and who leans toward classic in his interior choices.

This Vintage-Inspired Home Is Better Than the Barbie Dreamhouse
A couple of the Sunset editors were talking about the Barbie Dreamhouse the other day. And we had a hot take: Although it’s an iconic home (with a slide, pool, and a color palette that childhood dreams were made of), it’s not the most attractive-looking space from an interior design or architecture standpoint.
