Says Todd in a recent San Francisco Chronical interview: "I can do the quiet retreat - our bedroom is a very peaceful place," Davis said during a rare-for-him sit-down at his 2,000-square-foot loft, a renovated Victorian behind Ghirardelli Square that he shares with wife, Gena, 34. "But if you want to relax, you can do that with color, and with texture and with fabric. My emphasis is to provide functional rooms that are incredibly interactive, and I went to the show to blow people out of the water, create a leading edge and open people's eyes."

Todd has a background in extreme sports and has been doing illustration and landscape design in California. His interior design work seems a little more limited and his website appears to show his own home. That said, for all his "play, play, play" image, he's got an interesting eye and you can see his art background in his choice of accessories and textures. His colors are rich, his textures dense, woodsy and natural. But then, would we expect anything different from this man:

Okay - I just HAD to include this photo. Need I explain why?

While I don't love the image he's projecting on the show - bouncing about like a child, X-treme "hey dude" 'tude, his website and work depict a much deeper intellect. I hope I'm right.
