  • Hi A.

  • D.

  • I'm Shay Mitchell and welcome to my home, don't wanna uh mm I moved into this house about four years ago.

  • It was built in 19 twenties.

  • It kind of has like a spanish mediterranean feel to it, a little bit of Moroccan.

  • I didn't really know what I liked until I saw it, luckily I'm very fortunate to have my good friend chad would come and really help me make sense of the house and truly it didn't look like this until two am last night.

  • This light above here.

  • Funny story, I got this light, not thinking that you actually had to make sure the ceiling could hold it and because it's actually £1000 it stood like that well hung like that without any sort of crystals for about two years until I finally got the ceiling so that I could hold it.

  • Hopefully it really can hold £1,000 of crystals.

  • This is our, just a formal living room.

  • One of my favorite things about this room is definitely this light fixture.

  • I found it in Morocco and had it sent over here and I just love what it does to the room, especially at night when it's dark, we just turn this light on and it just spews like all these different beautiful light speckles around the room which is really pretty chad.

  • Anything else.

  • Okay, so true story, funny that you have to come over here.

  • Yes you are.

  • I worked with a couple of different designers and it never just really came together how I wanted it chad being the amazing friend he is came in and really helped me work with what I already had, she already had a lot of great staple pieces that she wanted and then we just kind of built around that and I always have a love of finding vintage.

  • So I mix vintage with new and old and just kind of have a lived in space that she wanted to seem very well traveled which she is, each piece is very unique and specific to chat and I met, oh my gosh, when I was in my old house, he is my florist friend, hair stylist designer, um a fire starter, painter, chef.

  • All of these little touches and pieces are a mix of what chad brought in and what I have found from some of my travels.

  • This is from Morocco.

  • These are from one of my favorite vintage stores in la called Pop Up Home you went in and you found so much stuff from that place.

  • He brought it all back in.

  • One of my favorite things is to come home and just see the house with like new additions to it.

  • This tree stump is actually from the front of my house, I cut it down two weeks and I'm just kidding, this is probably my grandfather, my grandfather tree stump, this is from a vintage store, A friend of mine brought it into the room and I just loved it because it really just made it a lot more earthy, how we would just like mixing materials is really what we've gone for this ceiling and these walls were again a different colour.

  • All of these little white beams were painted dark and then we want to tie them like these beautiful stained glass windows that were obsessed with.

  • And then we were just casually up till two last night painting this fireplace.

  • Yeah, it was tiled before and it was something that I enjoyed years ago, but now I wanted to just be super clean.

  • So I just whitewashed the entire thing cost effective.

  • This probably cost us 70 bucks And it was going to cost us a quote for like three, Yep, I owe you a dinner.

  • So this dining room again has had many different iterations of what it is now, what about the chairs?

  • I love these chairs.

  • You sent me a text for dining table because she wanted a lot of dining chairs because she thinks she's going to have big parties.

  • We don't invite anyone over.

  • It's literally us, these chairs.

  • You sent me a text message and I remember I was at a stop, like he sent me this photo, I'm like, oh my gosh, these are amazing.

  • He's like, if you don't buy it in the next 15 minutes, they're going to disappear and they're really hard to find, what did I have before When I first moved in here, I think I had lilac velvet chairs, dark red wood table, dark redwood table with a crystal chandelier.

  • I had about five different pictures in here.

  • Everything went through so many changes because the one thing that you never changed were the redwood floors.

  • Finally, I was just like nothing.

  • You're going to keep changing this house over and over.

  • It's never gonna feel good too until you change the floor.

  • So we had them stand down, we bleached them twice and I feel like it changed, it changed.

  • The entire vibe of the house is probably the best money we've ever spent.

  • Yeah, I agree.

  • And then, and then you found this again at pop Up Home.

  • And I love this because I always see it in like fancy houses, a little pedestal.

  • It actually started in here.

  • You brought it upstairs to here.

  • Then we put it in the nursery because a baby's room needs a pedestal arrangement.

  • This is the kitchen and it always looks like this.

  • Which is, you know, lemons, can you even eat professionals?

  • Of course you can eat it.

  • We honestly just like did minor tweaks to this kitchen.

  • We painted this island black.

  • We of course changed the wood floors and here painted the ceiling a warmer color because there's so much tile detail that you never really noticed it because everything is white.

  • But all of these walls are wrapped in tile, which is so beautiful.

  • And then the cabinets, the cabinets on the inside of those were all white before.

  • And chad was like, you need to have all the same kind of play, it's all white, keep it fresh charcoal on the backs of everything pops and at first I cursed his name because I had so many mix matched plates.

  • But then four place, I had about four plates and dinnerware for 200.

  • But again just us.

  • It's just us.

  • I actually about what, 10 years ago had a photo of this kitchen saved on my computer and I remember loving this kitchen when I saw it.

  • Then when the house came available for sale, I was just looking at the house and I realized it was the exact same kitchen as the one that I had saved on my computer.

  • I don't think I told you know this is probably the kind of table that I should have.

  • It's perfect for just you and me angel.

  • But we still, we don't even sit here.

  • We sit here.

  • We always sit up here.

  • It's like engaged.

  • There's plugs, plug things in and the fast food comes here.

  • That's true.

  • This is angel.

  • She is a model dog.

  • No truly.

  • She likes to get into every photo and every shot whenever we're filming here.

  • But she is matches her outfit.

  • It does.

  • I dyed her to match the rest of the house.

  • So she was originally a different colour.

  • Hi bubs, this is the entertainment room.

  • So this bookshelf.

  • I think we saw it in.

  • What was it?

  • I think we saw an architectural digest.

  • There was this beautiful room with a bunch of books all turned the other way, it's late.

  • And I'm like let's change the bookshelf, change the bookshelf.

  • But we changed the bookshelf one time we turned all of the books the other way so you could just see the pages my boyfriend came home and couldn't find something he was looking for.

  • So I realized that's probably not the best thing to do when you have a bookshelf at this size and it can easily be too busy with books.

  • So by categorizing them all into colors it makes it kind of looks like art.

  • This was a couch that I had custom made.

  • We made it so that it was super wide that it could fit friends that were 68.

  • And it's really the place where I hang out anytime I have a day off.

  • This is where I am here posted.

  • Postmates watching T.

  • V.

  • I'd say this is probably the most used room in this house and dark and sexy and very much moved.

  • And these accent pillows were actually brought in this morning after chad finished painting fire plays.

  • He brought in these pillows before that I had these black and white ones that you said were too harsh for this room in.

  • This couch is really comfortable even for you.

  • I mean being 68.

  • Come on show everybody how yes it's comfy.

  • So deep and then we put our feet up on here.

  • We watch our stories possess.

  • What are our stories, our shows.

  • I just like to call it shows stories.

  • We watch all of our stories, you just added those candles.

  • I love that what she loves about crystals is because I told her crystals were chic and that she needed crystals, crystals are great for energy.

  • I love to have like elements in a broom.

  • So I always like to have like fresh flower arrangements, candles lit earthy stone leathers and like I don't like sage, which makes me like sneeze.

  • Okay, this is a recent addition to the living room.

  • It is a beautiful bassinet by Aristotle and they sent it to me when atlas was born and it just kind of fit perfectly in this room.

  • So thank you guys for sending that.

  • And yeah, it's one of her favorite places to hang out in the room.

  • It's actually her only place to hang out in this room says she can't sit up yet.

  • And this is mom and this is mom's room.

  • This is a little bar area again for all the times that I don't entertain.

  • It's where I like to hang out with God.

  • We just like to know that we're full like no big party.

  • Maybe we'll have a party tonight.

  • We could have a party tonight.

  • You've got the glam.

  • I love this little bar area because I remember when I first saw this house, I saw this room and it was off the living room.

  • I had no idea what to do with it.

  • We just created this little speakeasy that flows into the outside, this statue.

  • So my good, friendly and ford who is also amazing designer.

  • She helped me bring in some of her favorite vintage pieces as well.

  • And this guy was one of them.

  • So yeah, I've named him Jack, Bossier and Bossier and Bossier and Bossier.

  • I have my record player over here with some of my favorite records.

  • It's just a really cool fun spot to hang out.

  • What are you pulling out over there?

  • That's not, that's a book.

  • A book.

  • Supposed to go on the bookshelves, supposed to go on the bookshelf.

  • What are some of the records that I have, stereo, Iggy pop little kim Joni Mitchell.

  • Adele obviously no old vintage.

  • So Adele.

  • These are all original tiles that were on the entryway, along with the door handles.

  • For these two doors.

  • This is a closet door and this one leads into the dungeon.

  • He's getting to the laundry room.

  • Should I blow out these candles?

  • No, well let them burn.

  • Oh, we have this room.

  • Turn the lights on weight.

  • You got to do that again.

  • This is the nursery atlas room.

  • This room probably had the biggest makeover.

  • It was my junk room was like a faux guest room.

  • Was a focused.

  • This room did kick it off though.

  • Yeah, It really started with this room.

  • First thing was the color, what we wanted to play on masculine feminine this color like a smart pink.

  • We wanted to make also like purposeful so she could have a bed in here for guests.

  • And we built this custom high to bed right here, added in these lights.

  • He made it like a really comfortable little reading area to which I love.

  • I think the first piece that I bought was this crib and that's kind of how we based everything else around it from changing the knobs on that dresser that I'd already had.

  • We wanted like the harder lines mixed with the softer.

  • The other thing where these lights were downstairs.

  • I don't think you should say, I don't think this rug was another really special find.

  • You just picked it out.

  • I remember chad calling me and being like, are you at the house?

  • I have these guys coming in an hour.

  • They're going to show you different rugs.

  • Hopefully you pick the one that I like.

  • I didn't, but I picked a second favorite one after we put this rug and it really did pull in the whole room.

  • My other favorite thing about this room is definitely the collage wall.

  • We didn't want it to feel like such a staged house and bring it back into like family and your travels and we wanted the room to feel a little bit well traveled.

  • We really did choose her name because we've traveled to so many different places and atlas just felt perfect for us and for her.

  • And so now she can kind of see where you know we have been.

  • My favorite photo is obviously the three D.

  • Skin of atlas when she was still in my stomach.

  • The ultrasound photo.

  • I'm so in love with that.

  • She looks just exactly like that right now a little bit better.

  • This is my favorite part.

  • Okay as you turn the corner just be like this is my favorite part.

  • Now walking into this bedroom, what did you call it chad?

  • You're like it's serene.

  • This room has been truly the bane of my existence.

  • Is it vein in my existence vein.

  • There was some weird electrical outlet that is now covered by this picture frame that we had to work with.

  • But we wanted it like that, wanted it like this to the bed was custom and we had it covered in this great mohair.

  • But our first purchase were these night stands.

  • I loved them.

  • I sent her a picture.

  • She bought them immediately.

  • And then we kind of built the room around those and then we have to be honest chad was out of town.

  • He had picked the color of those walls Actually we both had and I was coming home from a trip.

  • So I was like chad.

  • We chose the wrong color brown brown.

  • This baby is about to come any moment now and he was like just relax, calm down.

  • You're really emotional right now.

  • It's all going to come together and it really did.

  • This rug also came from chad.

  • You would ask.

  • No, we got this from an estate sale.

  • Oh yes, it's a Moroccan rug and I think you get some of these rich tones in here, but it kind of like anchors the room and there is traditional architecture in this house painting over everything and having a little bit of that like french by by making the room a little bit seem a little bit bigger even though it's a darker color.

  • We went all the way up to the crown molding crown molding into the baseboard and then we painted the doors as well.

  • So it just kind of made it a little bit more homey and cozy and I love this chair.

  • I remember seeing it in this hotel that I uh just honestly, I just love this year, I don't actually know where teams share, it's broken.

  • You can't sit in it.

  • Don't mhm I don't think I've ever gone outside on that balcony or you've called down and you're like, come on up, come up.

  • I understand.

  • Yeah, it's okay to tack chad test it out.

  • We redid all the outdoor lighting and we're in the midst of changing all the plants and then we're going to have all these decks and door frames painted a deeper brown.

  • I don't really utilize my outdoor space as much as I would like to, but we did just recently get a pizza oven so I'm excited to set that up in the back and then host more of those parties I've always wanted to throw for another time.

  • All right, Eddie, thank you guys so much for coming into our home.

  • It was so nice having you here and getting to relive some of our favorite moments in this house.

  • Thank you so much.

  • Yeah, now I have to feed her.

  • So unfortunately I'm gonna have to say goodbye, but thank you for coming and we'll see you again.

  • Bye.

  • Still see you.

  • Uh huh.

  • The dining light was the light that was in here.

  • So it came down to here.

  • So just do that mental image for me.
