Steve and Brooke Giannetti

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Steve and Brooke Giannetti are the owners of <a href="http://www.giannettiarchitects.com/" target="_blank">Giannetti Home</a>, a full-service design firm, and the authors of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Patina-Style-Brooke-Giannetti/dp/1423622537/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303840873&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Patina Style</a>. Their second book, <i>Patina Farm</i>, will be released in Spring 2016. Steve is an architect and Brooke is a decorator who writes the popular blog, <a href="http://brookegiannetti.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Velvet and Linen</a>. In December 2014, <i>Veranda</i> featured the Giannettis' latest personal retreat, Patina Farm, which the couple designed together; the magazine photographed their Santa Monica home in 2011. Lady Gaga recently bought a Malibu <a href="http://www.elledecor.com/celebrity-style/homes/lady-gagas-new-malibu-mansion-bowling-alley" target="_blank">home</a> that Steve Giannetti designed and Madeline Stuart decorated. This residence, which appeared in <i>Veranda</i> in 2008, was built for Dan Romanelli, who was the founder and president of Warner Bros. Worldwide Consumer Products, and his wife Luana. Dan recently told the <a href="http://www.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304547704579562284022768124?ref=SB10001424052702303627504579560420346456710#11" target="_blank">Wall Street Journal</a> that his work on the Batman movies provided the inspiration for the home's underground entertainment area, which is accessed via a secret door. I will begin this overview of the Giannettis' work with photos of the Romanelli home in Malibu:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrcNvOHdR3xFzHtAVJWiv2SEQWnYy_XUwN8st4XFlOpPVa0TXBxudCMPL_C8QDQmuNYb4a-OPy5Xpgudto3iLYxhQ4v3OB9AKIXc42PZ_G8KxtVZpBpAa4ZYNlwELDSDW4mqTSFFcILwk/s1600/RMalibu_Exterior01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrcNvOHdR3xFzHtAVJWiv2SEQWnYy_XUwN8st4XFlOpPVa0TXBxudCMPL_C8QDQmuNYb4a-OPy5Xpgudto3iLYxhQ4v3OB9AKIXc42PZ_G8KxtVZpBpAa4ZYNlwELDSDW4mqTSFFcILwk/s1600/RMalibu_Exterior01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"This equestrian estate in Malibu was designed in collaboration with Giannetti Architects.
