While both coming from different aesthetic worlds – Erik Ford in the clothing sphere, as co-founder of Buck Mason, and Leanne Ford in the interior design field, with stints hosting on HGTV – the couple's visual sensibilities have culminated in a gorgeous Venice, CA home, which has just hit the market.
Listed for $4.45 million, the luxury property takes Leanne's infamous white-on-white style and has a field day, with the interiors embodying a California casual feel thanks to a light color palette and warm wood fixtures.
Coming in at 3,171 square feet, the four-bed, five-bath home features 14-foot ceilings, a heated saltwater pool and spa, and a separate guesthouse with a skylit great room. Let's take a closer look.
The entryway features a custom oak front door, which complements the engineered white oak floors beautifully.
A Japanese-style paper lantern is a beautiful focal point by the stairs, while a rich, brown sofa and cacti layer some natural colors in the space.
The dining room mixes and matches modern chairs for a dynamic feel, while open shelves are as accessible as they are visually pleasing.

Sitting pretty at the top of our 'best bed sheets' buying guide since its inception, the Brooklinen Luxe Core Sheet Set feels silky and smooth against your skin and stands up to countless cycles in the washing machine. Available in a wide array of colors, this sheet set looks best in warm neutrals, such as Driftwood.
The subtle pattern in the bedroom is a fantastic point of visual intrigue, and this polka dot vase is a perfect dupe. Place a single stem inside for a minimalist, but powerful display that Leanne would surely love.
The best way to sidestep the seasonal slump is to add in as many pretty little fixtures as possible. This one’s a current favorite – the fabric shade and ceramic base are a monochrome match made in heaven, and the glow is diffused and gentle.
A bamboo frame with rattan binding, textured and layered and looking like a much-loved vintage treasure, and all for $12.99? Honestly, IKEA has outdone itself with this one – the perfect inner mount is the decorative version of it coming with a cherry on top.
The easiest way to experiment with colors is to add soft furnishings, and this cashmere throw is ideal. It's perfect for layering with bold cushions and even statement seating.
Tangy and herby, this fresh-picked blackcurrant candle is unlike any other. It is a harmonious fragrance that unites its flowery rose notes with the berry notes. Its beautiful container means it looks great on a nightstand.
The bedroom, meanwhile, is a neutral oasis, with linen bedding, greige walls, and framed artwork adding dimension to the area.
The bathroom pairs the home's signature wood with white marble countertops for a clean, contemporary look.
The living room features a pool view and white Wassily seats, while the metallic coffee table makes a subtle statement.
It doesn't get much more spa-like than a saltwater pool, and the home's washed white exterior enhances the serene ambiance. It's the perfect outdoor space to complement Leanne's iconic interiors, and will no doubt serve as a beautiful home for anyone fortunate enough to pick up the keys.
