Celebrity Homes: Courtney Cox ...

Have you guys seen the pictures of Courtney Cox's Malibu home in Elle Decor? Although I wouldn't spit on a multi-million dollar home with a waterfront view, I have to say that I really don't like the interior design. As far as the inside of the house is concerned, the neutral walls, stainless steel appliances, clinically white kitchen and stone floors come across as cold. Personally, I think this house is in desperate need of textural fabrics, colorful pillows and brighter accents. I must admit that what this house lacks on the inside, it definitely makes up for on the outside. I love the lounging areas, outdoor bar/kitchen, long chairs and not to mention... that view!!!

Celebrity Homes: Jennifer Lopez ...

 

I've always been a fan of Jennifer Lopez. I think that she is one of very few celebrities who remain relatable despite their A-list status. One of my favorite things about Jennifer has to be her impeccable sense of style. I can't remember seeing one performance, award show or TV appearance where she looked anything short of spectacular. Recently, her 18 000 sq. foot Californian estate was featured in Veranda magazine and I was glad to find out that Jennifer not only has an eye for fashion but also for interior design. She worked alongside interior designer Michelle Workman to create a romantic French-inspired abode for her and her family to live in. The color palette is heavily based on tones of gray. Slight variations of this color were carried throughout various rooms of the house, some having a little more taupe, others a little more blue. While most of the rooms have a feminine feel, the living room has a penchant for the masculine. In order to make the gray-toned rooms feel more welcoming, rich fabrics such as silk, velvet and leather were used.  Michelle Workman also used chandeliers, which emit soft indirect light as well as brass and bronze accessories to help give the house a more inviting feel. I absolutely love her house and can't help myself from saying (please forgive the cheesy pun) Jenny has come a long way from the block!

Celebrity Homes: Jennifer Aniston...

Jennifer Aniston is the quintessential beach girl. We’ve all seen pictures of her jogging, doing yoga and walking her dogs along the lazy shores of sunny California.There’s something about her sun kissed skin, tousled blonde hair and toned body that just screams L.A.  Last month, her newly-renovated house was featured in Architectural Digest and frankly, I was a little surprised by the design direction. Don’t get me wrong, her Beverly Hills mansion is nothing short of spectacular but I pictured Jennifer in a lavish, upscale designer beach house clad with high ceilings, exposed beams, neutral walls, dark hardwood floors, big white sofas, linen draped windows, distressed wood furniture and bursts of colorful accents… 

Instead, we have this:
