"The Homes of ABC's Modern Family\nProduction designer Richard Berg gives a tour of the sets for the Emmy-winning comedy about an extended Los Angeles family\nGloria and Jay Pritchett's House\n\nWhile the majority of the filming is done on a soundstage, the exterior of the Pritchett house is a two-story contemporary home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. Richard Berg notes that they \"found this house after we were 80 percent finished with the stage build (of the interiors and exteriors), so adjustments had to be made. The footprint in the rear did not at all match the layout we had onstage, so we modified the shape of the windows to accommodate that. We also matched the outdoor fireplace.\"\nGloria and Jay's Kitchen\n\nWhen the series began, Jay had recently married his second wife, the vivacious Colombian-born Gloria, and his previously white-on-white interiors exploded with animal prints and vibrant reds. Benjamin Moore's Currant Red covers the kitchen walls.\nGloria and Jay's Entry\n\nThe main rooms, painted in Benjamin Moore's Louisburg Green with white trim, are outfitted with furnishings in muted fabrics to give the house a natural, West Coast vibe. A lamp with a zebra-pattern shade from the L.A. shop Plantation Design and a boldly striped Crate and Barrel rug provide a dash of flair.\nClaire and Phil Dunphy's Great Room\n\nThe Dunphys are a fairly traditional American couple with three children and a taste for catalogue-order furnishings. Berg describes their home as \"Pottery Barn meets Restoration Hardware.\" He says \"the secret sauce\" in the Dunphy residence is the stripes, including the upholstery on the armchair in the living room. \"The stripes and splashes of bright color enliven what could otherwise be a pretty humdrum space,\" says Berg.\nClaire and Phil's Dining Area\n\nA hub for many of the show's story lines, the Dunphys' kitchen and dining area features a French country\u2013style table accented with a Crate and Barrel leaf-print runner, a crystal lamp from Plantation Design in L.A. in the corner, and colorful Pier 1 Imports plates on the walls.\nClaire and Phil's Fireplace\n\nReflecting Claire's desire for a home that is comfortable and eclectic, most of the furniture is of the upscale chain-store variety (Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Pier 1 Imports), mixed with vintage pieces. The painting over the mantel was done by an artist on the production team.\nCameron Tucker and Mitchell Pritchett's Living Room\n\nFor Cameron and Mitchell's ground-floor apartment, the designers used muted shades of green with occasional bold red and orange notes, and they sprinkled Asian-style pieces throughout. \"We saw the couple as being new to the parenthood plateau and fresh off the plane from years of travel and singledom,\" Berg says. \"Their interior design is a reflection of their pre-Lily time together.\"\nGloria and Jay's Dining Room\n\nClean lines and minimalist furniture are the basis of the dining room, where the accent pieces include a green Pottery Barn vase, a table lamp from Lawson-Fenning in L.A., and a Georgia O'Keeffe\u2013esque painting by Gus Harper. Berg devised a color system for each set and explains, \"The overriding philosophy regarding color was to make certain we recognized where we were fairly quickly upon cutting from one space to the next. Hence the blue, green, and red color coding.\"\nLily's Bedroom\n\nThe whimsical mural in Lily's room depicts dads Cameron and Mitchell as angels, a playful nod to Michelangelo's painting of God and Adam in the Sistine Chapel. \"I thought it was a reference Cameron would know, as well as one that many viewers would relate to,\" says Berg. \"The reference is so hyperbolic I thought it would be funny.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
