A person could easily assume that the pink spinning bed or the fur-walled bathroom that appears in photo on Jamie's Instagram is just a part of her job.
However, this is Jamie's not-so-humble abode, which boast a fabulous retro interior with a burst of color inside.
Described as 'Barbie meets Madonna Inn meets the 70s,' the house draws inspiration from the iconic Pink Palace, and it was previously owned by Hollywood bombshell Jayne Mansfield. 
'I moved to LA from New York City two years ago and I've been creating my dream house ever since.

I came to LA with a pink house in mind,' Jamie said.
She has spent the last two years transforming the home from a blank canvas into a creation of color with 70s vibes.
'When I first moved into the house [it was] a blank canvas and I had to take each element that [Jayne] left — whether it was the blue curtains or pink curtains — and determine where I was going to with each room based on that.'
For Jamie, it was important she kept an element of the previous owner's style: 'It took a lot of work to figure out — how do I keep this classy and how do I respect the vision she had and still bring in myself and edge it up?'

Complete with a round spinning bed and chandelier, the bedroom epitomizes the charm of the entire house.
'Pink is a representation of softness and femininity for me,' she explained.
Though some may come to the conclusion that Jamie is the embodiment of 'girlie, 'she promises she has always been a bit of a tomboy and has her 'guy's cave' filled with two motorcycles and a truck to prove it.
'I've always been a really strong woman,' she said.
Although Jamie thought she'd feel lonely when she moved here, she feels anything but.
'I've had people here every single day.

Even it's a commercial job, I end up meeting friends and inviting people over to my parties.'
And for Jamie, this is the most important part of the house — the part where everyone feels welcome and has fun.
'The most important thing to me is that everyone here feels the positive vibes.'
