This wonderful California home of actor Patrick Demspey from Architectural Digest is really gorgeous. This is one of Frank Gehry's early homes that has been renovated and adapted into this perfect family compound. Full of interesting furniture and design elements that transcend any one design style, this home feels organic and modern with old world touches that add to its warmth. I love the wall of wood around the fireplace, the concrete counters in the kitchen and rough wood floors and headboard in the bedroom. Really beautiful.

Hope you all had a great week. I was on vacation this past week in Mexico and had a wonderful vacation! I will do a post on Tuesday with a bit of what I saw and some of the incredible restaurants we went to in Mexico City.

This home is owned by Ellen DeGeneres and it is really a place fit for a star. First the location is nothing short of spectacular! Look at those views! Ellen is known for buying homes redecorating and then selling them and I have seen many of her homes in decor magazines so she and her talented decorators obviously make a great team. (I think that is what it takes for a fantastic outcome in a home, you and your client working at it together!). So many things to love about this California home...for one the clear ping pong table that looks out onto a wonderful interior courtyard with a pool. I also like the room below with the wooden table and the wicker chairs..a lovely romantic space..
