The Maloof family built the Palms Casino Resort, and the residence in the neighboring Palms Place highrise was designed for Sin City style entertaining.

Las Vegas Review-Journal interviewed MBH designer Carolyn Greco about her staging:

Almost all of the furnishings were selected to enhance the “rock ’n’ roll” vibe of the condo, which is listed with the Ivan Sher Group, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, said designer Carolyn Greco of Meridith Baer Home, who staged the unit for sale.

“My intention was to create a hip, sexy, modern, rock ’n’ roll space — my favorite look. My main goal was not to obstruct the amazing views of Vegas this penthouse has to offer.”

Meridith Baer Quoted for International Women’s Day

Meridith Baer was quoted in Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation’s post celebrating International Women’s Day: Words to inspire you from L.A.’s top female executives!

I started my business by accident! I needed a place to store my 250 huge potted plants and furniture… so I suggested to a friend who was selling an empty home that he let me “decorate” the home with my things to show how to live in the space. The house sold in a few days for a half million over asking. It was a blessing. I had been a screenwriter for 18 years and I was tired of sitting alone in front of my computer all day.
