Celebrity Homes: John Legend and Chrissy Teigen

I'm sure we're all huge fans of John Legend, but let's talk a little about his other half Chrissy Teigen, who's known for being outspoken, funny and most importantly relatable. She just tells it how it is and that's why we love her. And yes, I am speaking on behalf of everyone here. After coming across images of what they call home, I felt like it would just be unfair to keep to myself. The tour is definitely worth sharing and you're just about to find out why. 

My favorite area would have to be the kitchen; mainly because of the gorgeous color and material combination. I love the dark cabinetry designed by Don Stewart, and even more so the exceptionally beautiful brass stools by Anna Karlin that instantly catch your eye! 

Celebrity Homes: Cameron Diaz

I have always envied the actress for her joyful personality, amazingly toned legs, endearing laugh and even more so now for her striking NYC apartment. I have to admit that I was slightly surprised when I was going through the images as I never really expected to find it as alluring as it is, only because I had the impression that she was more of a tomboy than a 'glitz and glam' kinda girl; although she did reveal that she has a soft spot for "shiny and sparkly things" due to her Cuban roots.

What captured most of my attention are the metallic pieces beautifully circulated within the space, exclusively the guest toilet! The combination of onyx and brass is undeniably captivating to the eyes, don't you think?

The entire space has an assortment of soft and dark hues, the living room is more of a neutral palette that emanates Hollywood serenity, whereas the kitchen produces a different kind of energy using the glorious emerald green for the cabinets and gold for the backsplash.

You have to acknowledge that it isn't easy combining two different palettes and making it work, thus, I solute the Queen of California design Kelly Wearstler, as always for managing to produce yet another gorgeous home.

The heavenly guest toilet.

Tamara Mellon's Renovated Apartment

My very first 'Celebrity Homes' post was on Tamara Melon's NY apartment that was designed by the fabulous Martyn Lawrence Bullard. And I've only just come to find out that she recently had it renovated! I was somewhat nervous to see the new face-lift as I was abosultely enamoured by the former design. Although I have to say that the revamp still oozes the same kind of vitality, this time, in a much lighter sense. Interior designer Michael Adams assimilated beautiful mid century pieces and I especially adore the 'love for eternity' light installtion above the unquestionably, gorgeous Warren Platner dining set. Take a look at the new deal.

Celebrity Homes: Keri Russell

I don't know about you but I was a major 'Felicity' fan and that's how I got to know of actress Keri Russell, the show was one of my favorites during high school and I simply adored her gorgeous curls! So thanks to 'Elle Decor' magazine, WE get to have a little tour around her home.
Keri and her husband, Shane Deary have both worked on redesigning the 1860's Brooklyn brownstone into a combination of fresh and vintage feel, generating an impeccable refined space that also exudes comfort. I have to say that I completely respect the minimalism, not all celebrity homes possess that aura.

Celebrity Homes: Elie Saab

Simple and Elegant. The two words that instantly came to mind when I first saw the images of fashion designer Elie Saab’s home in Beirut. I love the refined palette, it produces a grand atmosphere in such a stylish way. Almost all the furniture occupying the space is custom made, adding a touch of distinctiveness. My favorite feature would have to be the high ceilings, I've always appreciated homes with staggering heights, they emanate more of deluxe feel. I can't think of how interior designer/architect Chakib Richani could've designed it better. Absolutely stunning! I can definitely see myself living in a home like this.

Celebrity Homes: Frank Sinatra (1915-1998)

These images of Sinatra's Palm Springs compound were published back in the 1998 December issue of Architectural Digest, who revisited the article this month as a celebration for the legendary performer's birthday. And being a fan of his music, it was necessary for me to include it in my blog. I love the colorful paintings and art work occupying almost each room, they add vibrancy and personality to the space.

Celebrity Homes: Deco Like Jagger

L'Wren Scott allows Vogue to capture never before seen images of her decorative home that she shares with Rock-'n'-Roll star Mick Jagger. And looking at the images below, it is pretty blatant that the lady has selective taste, the serene color palette and antique pieces create a space that is peaceful, welcoming and most certainly very far from rock-starish. I like it.

The Home of Jimmy Choo Founder, Tamara Mellon

If you are a religious Harper's Bazaar reader then you are familiar with the images below. Tamara Mellon's home has been featured in the magazine just over a year ago and I just had to include it in my blog as it is one of my favorite celebrity homes. The interiors are a combination of many styles that altogether project her 'signature look'; rich, provocative and chic. Most women envy her for the pairs of shoes she possesses, whereas I envy her for the glamourous roof over her head.

Celebrity Homes: Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez's California home was recently featured in Veranda magazine titled 'Serene Glamour'. I have to admit that when I was going through the pictures I was rather astonished to find that the gorgeous, lively and worldly American artist lives in a home filled with warmth and tranquility. 
The creative interior designer Michelle Workman renovated the entire house in the year 2010, conveying that the star is what her home represents. 
"It's sort of Jennifer in a nutshell—she has a romantic streak."
What makes this home even more appealing is the touch of Art Deco that seems to be a recurring theme in almost every room, preserving that certain flow throughout the house.

Take A Walk Into Ralph Lauren's Garage

Check out American fashion designer Ralph Lauren's classic car collection. Those sexy rides will be exhibited at the Musee Des Arts Decoratifs in Paris this summer.

“As it turns out, I don't really want to be seen in the cars. There's a part of me that likes the privacy, so the more garish the car, the less I want to drive it." -Ralph Lauren

Well clearly the keys to the cars are in the wrong hands. Hand them over mister, I'll know what to do with them.
