HILLSIDE HIDEAWAY “It’s an open space, but it’s very private,” Weatherly says of his Hollywood villa. “You feel like you’re tucked away in the hills.”
WE LUCKED INTO THIS GROOVY, COOL LITTLE SPOT”
Michael WEATHERLY THE NCIS ACTOR’S LIGHT-FILLED LIVING ROOM FEATURES VAULTED CEILINGS AND A FIREPLACE, PLUS FURNITURE THAT’S KID (AND DOG!) FRIENDLY “The key is that everything has to be able to get thrown up on or crayoned,” NCIS’s Michael Weatherly says of his pretense-free decorating philosophy. With two dogs and two young kids—Olivia, 3, and Liam, 17 months—“we’re not precious about stuff.” The CBS star, 46, and his wife, Bojana Jankovic, a physician, 34, moved into their four-bedroom, 4,000-sq.-ft. Hollywood home (designed by noted L.A. architect Fred Smathers) shortly after their daughter was born. The major selling point? “It feels warm,” he says. “Not formal, but it can dress up nice.” One of his favorite spaces is the airy living room, which features “impossibly comfortable, marshmallow-like” seating clustered in a “social circle.” And despite all the windows, “it’s not a place that’s about the view,” says the actor. “It’s not showy in that way. It’s about having family and friends together.” —GABRIELLE OLYA HAIR & MAKEUP: ALEXANDRA SCHAFER/CHANEL ROUGE COCO/ NUMBER 4 HAIR CARE/OPUS BEAUTY; STYLIST: HEIDI MEEK/OPUS BEAUTY
