Jeff Lewis Ryan Brown Design!
Flipping Out’s Jeff Lewis (Jeff Lewis Design) and Ryan Brown (Brown Design) are back again tonight on Bravo. Flipping Out makes Real Housewives of Atlanta look boring.
A show that in many regards is more about Lewis’ antics and less about design is exceptionally produced. LALATE has been a huge fan of the show because it’s simply great programming – it’s fun and completely unpredictable. It understands the nature of entertainment, starting an episode with Lewis examining if two pieces of glassware are different or not, only to turn glassware obsession into an entire scene of controlling madness.
Where as many Bravo shows try to force personalities, seemingly stage antics, you believe every moment that this really is Jeff Lewis. Even if security cameras watching your staff might sound a bit played up for TV, or counting out salsa containers of Pollo Loco might sound a bit over done, you enjoy it. LALATE loves it.
Ryan’s company Brown Design describes itself as follows:
These two native Californians [Ryan and Joshua Brown] have lived within the world of architecture and design their entire lives. They grew up along the beach just north of Malibu where their parents founded their own residential development firm.
“Our parents instilled in us a respect for our environment, the belief that there is beauty all around us.” Ryan and Joshua apply these same values to their work. This allows them to blend a variety of elements in a simple and natural way.
“We believe in juxtaposing a mixture of modern and primitive components against simple clean lines. Our best work comes when we are able to combine the client’s personal needs and style with our own instincts.”
“Traveling is one of the most important ways we find inspiration.” The influence of these excursions can be seen in their work.
The expertise of the Brown brothers is not limited to interiors. Brown Development engages in full-scale residential development as well as the restoration and refurbishing of homes in the Los Angeles area.
Ryan and Joshua have dedicated themselves to creating spaces that reflect the people who inhabit them – sanctuaries where they can feel at peace. At the same time, they use architecture and design elements to create an energy that rejuvenates and inspires. “Our clients strive to live well which allows us to create spaces that make them feel at home”

I think what Ryan did in regards to the website is “dirty”. Ryan and Jeff have a long history both personal and professional; for Ryan to not be more honest and upfront with Jeff = DIRTY
Jeff is not without flaws; he shouldnt teach Ryan’s daughter to mimic inappropriate behavior…such as her pulling up her shirt and saying she wants to work at hooters. ughhhhhhhh

Jeff, release R.B. with love…this show is about YOU, not the bug-eyed wimp anyway! Flip out on some projects, not people you have a loving history with! XOXO.

After watching the reunion show I have definetly recieved my answer about the acusations of Ryan Brown. I went in with an opened mind not taking a side until i heard what was said.But you can see the guilt and nervousness in him through his appearance.He comes off somewhat jealous and ungrateful for what Jeff has done for him..Whether it was intentional or not he did fraudulently use Jeffs name to acquire buisness and can answer without guilt not stealing buisness because he is or was part of Jeff Lewis Design. I love the show and Ryan.I feel for you Jeff.

I love the show, but I think, Jeff made a mountain out of a mole hill. Doesn’t he hear Ryan say “I did nothing to apologize for”??? If the shoe were on the other foot. Would Jeff aplogize for something he did not do…..I think not. I honestly wish they could mend this relationship because I like to see them together. And I have to say I like Ryan’s personality better than Jeff’s. But like someone said, it’s Jeff’s show.
Good luck to all!

Jeff, I don’t understand how he could be called a friend when you are openly telling him what you found. He should believe in your word…. I have never seen such a smirk on someone that says he is not lying. Stay true to yourself and don’t shed any more grief over him.. I love your show and I only wish I had a home that you can put your talent on…
Best wishes.
