Viola DavisandJulius Tennonare showing off their serene Los Angeles home!
Davis, Tennon and their 12-year-old daughter Genesis had lived in their California house for five years, when the couple decided to call upon designer Michaela Cadiz to help transform their space into a personalized escape.
They updated the formerly monochromatic home with splashes of color and intricate patterns and incorporated statement pieces that are “a feast for the eyes and the spirit,” Cadiz tellsArchitectural Digest.

“The pieces in and of themselves tell a story, like the Aboriginal dot art and the African-American art, which very much is rooted in the African-American folktale that our people can fly,” Davis explains.
The kitchen is where the “magic” happens, the actress says. It features a large center island and two large globe pendants.
The couple enjoy hosting Thanksgiving, their favorite holiday, at their house, which always revolves around the cookspace. One year, guests even had a dance party in the space as Tennon recalls blasting his favorite songs.
“We are the fun, and this kitchen is fun when good food is cooking in here,” he says.
Working in a hectic industry, the couple, who are co-founders of JuVee Productions, wanted their primary bedroom to be a space of utmost relaxation.
“It’s a beautiful profession but it’s a stressful lifestyle,” David tellsAD, “And you want to be able to come home in the space that you sleep in and feel more meditative.”
