Hello loves,
I originally blogged this special
look into my home over a year ago, but wanted to re-blog this again for
all of my newest friends and fans to see......

Today I'm giving my friends and fans a sneak peek inside my home... think of it as a guided tour around my most personal space!
Overlooking
the Hollywood Hills, my home is a real reflection of both Michael and
my personal taste as well as our flair for decoration. The inspiration
for our home redo came from traveling as well as hotels like the W Hotel
(which I love!), as well as trying to incorporate a loungey atmosphere.
Our home has surround sound music as well as a large suite bedroom, a
spa-style bathroom with his and hers areas. I honestly think that the
secret to a happy marriage are his and hers bathrooms!! Ha!
I
love mixing antiques from trips to London to create a warm environment
as well as a color scheme of warm chocolates, neutral tones, and pops of
color. The dining room has a red crocodile wall! We started with an
Armani dining room table and just loved this piece, we acquired it when
we redid the house. Armani Casa is unfortunately no longer located on
Beverly Blvd, I miss that store! I have to say that the bathtub might
just be my favorite spot in the house, but I also love the bedroom!
There's only 6 of my bathtubs in the US - it's made in a factory that
makes Ferraris. The spa area in my bathroom really relaxes me, I love
starting or ending a day here burning a bunch of great candles :-)
Michael
enjoys his Friday night "guys night" otherwise known as their sauna
night!! It's so cool that we can both share in the luxury of the
bathroom.
Our
dining room is really unique in that it fits 18 people, with two
benches (4 people can fit on each bench) making the space casual and not
so formal. The Valerio chandelier in the dining room is from Minotti on
Beverly Blvd, and is oval shaped to match the dining room table. Moving
into the bedroom, we have these amazing Ankassa hand embroidered
pillows and the rest of the room is custom Fendi Casa. Fendi Casa is
located on Robertson Blvd across from Diva. There's silk velvet drapes
to create a lounge feel, and have a crocodile embossed bed with a
chocolate suede headboard. Ambiance is a big thing for me, we always
have candles burning. The nightstands are chocolate lizard... I love
incorporating elements of the exotic!
All
pieces in our house are a labor of love, luxury elements brought
together in an eclectic way. I love recycling items to give them new
life, too! Take a look at some photos from the home below and enjoy!
