Ellen & Portia's Home Sweet Home.

A day off today and a sunny one at that! We are heading out for a drive this afternoon to check out the progress on a good friend's new home. I've only heard bits and pieces about it but she has fab taste so I know it's going to be fantastic! I can't wait!

I little something different for you today... Who isn't a fan of lovable Ellen and her beautiful wife Portia? Well, their Beverly Hills home is nothing short of spectacular. I checked out the preview article in Architectural Digest. I just may have to pop out and get a copy of the November issue. Sometimes things are just so much better in print!







Cozy, relaxed and personal... just what makes a house a home, in my humble opinion! I mean seriously, what's not to love? A neutral palette, great art, incredible rugs and textiles, rustic antiques, steel windows and I could keep going.. Plus, I'll take both shoe collections thank you very much!

Aren't you just so glad that they have such a down to earth style? What a great couple!

    in the second picture - is that glass table a ping pong table? i think and hope that it is, because that is all kinds of awesome.

    I think I definitely need that shoe horn in the closet with the sign about "new heels in 3 minutes"...so awesomely quirky and cool...pretty much Ellen to a T...and portia's shoe collection is FABULOUS!

    Absolutely gorgeous except for the room with the dining room table and no chairs. What's with that?
