- If you've been here for a while you know how rare it is for me to not have anything bad to say about celeb homes but WOW. Vanessa Hudgen's home has been done SO well. From the actual house to the design and even the art, I can really appreciate what's going on here. What are your thoughts? Do we love her home or hate it?

You don't have to be rich to own original artwork. Even in a small to mid-sized city there are local artists whose prices are within most people's budget. I have artist friends so I'm lucky enough to have been gifted with art pieces. You can also find one-of-kind pottery and paintings in second-hand stores.
I 100% agree. I am always for supporting living artist, even if it’s just getting a print of an original on Etsy I will always support. Being an artist myself and selling my pieces I couldn’t agree with you more 👏🏼👏🏼
👏👏👏
Or you can make it yourself. You don't have to be Picasso. You can draw, paint, collage, photograph, decoupage, etc., something that makes you happy and display it.
I agree 💯 %. Of course, if you love an original piece that you can't afford or no longer available then check to see if that art has prints. Depending on the company they work with for prints, they offer prints to canvas. If both print options are available, then I suggest looking at the style & medium used to pick the material for your prints. Another thing to consider is seeing if a local/ nearby college or university that has an art department if they have an art sale scheduled (usually at the end of the semester or school year)
Yeah! I sell my art to friends and family and local people!
Way more than people online!
Never would have this young woman living in such a mature space. Really feels fresh & not pretentious at all ❤️🇬🇧xxx
Classy home - comforting and not too flashy.
Agreed! It’s perfectly balanced
I am always so happy to see a home that isn’t all minimalist and cream tones!
I am an artist and love when people have REAL art in their homes.
I love this home-- very tasteful and unpretentious for a celebrity home. Some of these homes from the "Golden Age" of Hollywood, were to scale and quite lovely. Love the backyard, lovely to grow one's own avocadoes. Plus great pool! I could easily live there ;)
Nooooo, the bathroom tile is so beautiful. The best thing about LA is its tiled bathrooms and too many people gut them.
At least they didn’t carpet over them 🤣 but agreed! I love a good tiled bathroom, especially with this much texture and character 🥰
NY had as standard tiled bathrooms floors & 1/2 way up the walls, back in the day!
Love, love your spot on honestly. And speaking of an awesome celebrity…. Design Daddy came to my Audi Vaughan store. He’s so tall, handsome, super well-dressed, and one of the nicest people ever.
Hello beautiful! And thank you so much! 🤍🤍🤍
I just discovered your channel and I love your commentary, Vanessa Hudgens house and style is my favorite so far. I laughed pretty good when you made the comment about the headboard missing. 😂
All your takeaways were spot on! Your videos excite me bc I know I too have an eye! I’ll be watching even more..
Vanessa is a gorgeous woman and really does have a gorgeous home where you'd feel relaxed. I'm not for the green kitchen cupboards or green bathroom tiles though.
I would have made some changes myself 😉
@@mrphoenixgrey Oh. And find a way to call her about getting a headboard!!!
This home feels very organic and settled to me. We have a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ people coming in to my state and it totally shows in the $$$$$$$$ homes they're building. Her home just feels like every part of it has been here for a while, and i always have to respect folks who don't do the "look at me, i have all this money!!" thing. Also, re local artists, another great local group to support are art teachers, especially the K-12 ones. They obviously know their stuff or they wouldn't be teaching, and they don't get paid much, so i'm sure they'd appreciate it. Great video as always, DD :)
It was built for Cecil B De Mille's mistress. His peak years were from the 1920's-1950's, so the home was likely from that era. Interestingly, Cecil did all the great Biblical films- The 10 Commandments etc- looks like he had no problem breaking at least one of them!
@@mtngrl5859 Side note re The 10 Commandments: i met Charlton Heston back in the 80s at my aunt's parents' ranch. My mother and grandmother were beside themselves, but he didn't impress me at all. Walked around the place like he was the big dog; ugh. 😶
Great video Phoenix, so much to learn from these reviews.
Awe thank you so much! And thank you for watching 🥰
Such a charming home, one of my fave celebrity homes. She has sold it though & her new place is ultra modern! Would be cool to see your thoughts if she does a tour in the future. Love your videos so much! ❤
Loving your rust blazer!!
I agree 100%, Phoenix. It is so interesting to hear you commenting on the things you like.
Thanks for watching 🤍🤍
Daddy, you are absolutely hilarious. I love watching all your videos. your banter and commentary is so funny.
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
The book sconce is absolutely brilliant!
I'm screaming with laughter 😂😂😂every word was on point especially with "the crystals", I decided that I had to leave a comment!
Bravo👏👏👏👏✌️🍉
How did I just find your channel now?? Subscribed, love your channel and binge watching now lol… and being a native Cali girl, trust me, in the winter all must of us do is head for Tahoe to the snow lol 😂 😊
I love her house so much and it would be a dream if I can own something like this. It feels so homely, organic and comfortable. Not so flashy but very classy.❤❤❤❤❤
Yessss! You nailed it. The dining room portion was such a whiplash compared to the rest (and you saying “she’s gonna go and talk about her art” 😂😂😂).
Gotta have some fun with it, I was like let’s just fast forward 🤣🤣🤣
😂👏👏
I must say - I came here for the architecture and interior design but I spend equal amount of time looking at your fabulous outfits. :D
I really think the chairs were wrong in the dining room. It needed vintage velvet chairs and a darker wall color. And agree about the missing headboard.
But now im gonna go charge my crystals.
i remember seeing her house, i absolutely love it
Love this home. Gorgeous.
I feel the same about the fining room. Everything else is great.
Good for her. What a beautiful home. Can’t imagine the
Cost!
I love that breakfast nook. I can’t seem to find some in kelowna…
Ha! She has the same curtains i have been looking at online. Thinking I’ll go sage green though. My paint is extremely dark brown with a grey under hue so,…. Mustard drapes could be a bit bumble bee.
Yes we saw the art in the bedroom before it was blurred 😊
Beautiful home
Beautiful
My first impression was one of surprise; it actually felt homey and not overdone; full of character and charm. I like how simple the living room is and how it’s filled with pieces full of history. Its light and bright and welcoming. It seems like she is actuallly filling her home with pieces she truly loves, instead of just having the latest, greatest, and trendiest pieces. Lol couldn’t help but notice the bowl of lemons and limes 😂 must be an AD signature staging piece 😂 😂 I love the rustic feel of the kitchen, with the green cabinets and the gorgeous work table in the middle of the room. Again, to me at least, it feels homey and not super over the top or glamorous. Honestly, the bathroom to me just doesn’t flow with the style in the rest of the house. It feels too contemporary. I do love the marble, but don’t really care for the black. That backyard looks heavenly!
It’s a nice home, warm and not over the top fancy or overtly large. Not to be cynical…but I think she’s already sold in the last year or so…moved into a much larger new build McModern mansion in the Hollywood Hills. I wonder if she (along with other people featured on AD) was on AD for exposure to help sell the property…
I'd be very happy to visit this house - or live in it: it's interesting and comfortable-looking; I'd feel at home there.
Well done, Jake Arnold and Vanessa, and thank you Mr. Grey.
❤❤❤ your channel!!! Liv Tyler NYC home.. .is my personal favorite celebrity home...js 😊
I’d just change the art and enjoy that house, beautiful 😍
I agree with you on the dining room. It felt like it was a complete after thought. I think if she had more of a family, or friends she hung out with regularly for dinner parties it would have had a warmer feel to it. Being from Louisiana w/ French architecture that was her moment to shine and show off while keeping it classy/ homey in the dinning room. 9/10. Mostly for the dinning area and out of place mirror chair. However, the peace she must feel in that house must be amazing!!!
Everything about Vanessa is a dream
So happy about her marraige and pregnancy
I love that dark bathroom definitely my vibe
Always the vibe 😍
Her house it’s so nice!! loved watching through you.. I just bought my first apartment and living in your videos to design my bathroom and accessorize it
I’m from brazil and would love to put my heritage into my house through art if you know any that sell here in north america
I would like to see you review Nate and Jeremiah’s AD home tour.
Just started the video, haven’t even got to Vanessa. It I gotta say… IM LOVIN’ THE OUTFIT!!!
You make All the Difference !😊😁❤️
Awe that means so much! Thank you for watching and supporting. It really means a lot
Love the no headband board. Also love the no accent pillows as well! And that orange! Great bedroom!❤
I’m wondering if that green tile in the powder room was original to the home.
I'm so glad you reviewed her home- it's probably my favourite celebrity home I've seen on AD. That backyard😍.
Also, as a fellow Canadian (Torontonian), I too have always questioned why I live here when there are places that have year-round warm weather. Not hating on my city though, just the weather lol
Love your content! 💖💖
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching 🥰 we always forget about it when it’s nice in the summer, but then we cry and complain for 7 months of the year when it’s miserable and grey 😅
Québécoise fellow here. I lived 6 years in Louisiana.
When people ask me why I moved to Louisiana, I always answer: "Because of Canadian winters".
When people ask me why I moved back to Canada, I always answer: "Because of Louisianan summers".
But eh! Even if we have some snow storms (less and less every years, honestly), we don't have important earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods (just a few), hurricanes, tornadoes (rarely), tsunamis nor cyclones.
@@mrphoenixgrey fr fr 😩🥰
@@nathalie_desrosiers so true! I'm trying to be a snowbird like you though. Teach me your ways 😆
@@WhatSisiSees I don't have any secrets. I am not a Snowbird (I am not retired). I was hired as a French teacher for CODOFIL (Visa J1) and arrived in Louisiana July 23 2005. Just in time for Katrina hurricane... Yeah. Please don't tell me Canadian weather is awful. Please. Just don't.
Can you believe she SOLD it! I'd never sell that house as long as I could afford it!
They normally go on the show just before putting them on the market. One couple have done it a few times.
The muted, sage green kitchen is beautiful, I'll die on that hill. I will disagree with you on this one because the muted colour makes it more timeless.
I will have to agree with you, because it’s more of that pastel it’s less offensive ☝🏼
@@mrphoenixgrey Exactly, it brings it into a neutral territory that green and blue can pull. In their muted, or very deep variants, they're just as neutral as gray, or white, even more than black I'd argue as they are both so ubiquitous in nature. If it was a saturated emerald green, maybe less so. This soft sage is pretty timeless. We've seen it in almost every decade and style of design.
I've seen video about her house before and I agreed that her house is real deal, is not for display like other celebrities👏👍
I actually don’t mind the green kitchen and the green tile. Green in my favorite color though so I’m totally biased. Her art is great as well. The only thing I think is lacking is sophisticated accessories. Like the pompous grass and that chair and even the dining table. They’re just not enough. And those white ceramic jars in her powder room look cheap. Everything else is awesome though.
You are beautiful Daddy. And I love your jacket.❤
I think the part that I liked the best about Vanessa’s house is that she seems to have collected quite a few pieces herself. Maybe that’s why it feels more like a home rather than a design showcase that is unliveable. I thought it was charming and I got the vibe that nothing was too “precious” to be used.
Now Phoenix, I am no designer, but I thought the dining room could be given a better feeling with better styling (I was going to say it would be better if it was simply styled, but that is mean and I’m sure untrue). Every other room looks like it’s been lived in except the dining room. It looks like she chose the right table, but then just plunked a floral arrangement on it and walked away. Some soft gauzy window treatments would soften it a bit and then add some quirky art pieces. I know 100% that you could have styled that table so much better; the rustic vibe is indicating it’s seen some stuff so style it to show some of that.
As a bit of a postscript, I giggled when you found the Cali weather enticing. We live in the NWT just below the Arctic Circle and are heading to CA for a vacation later this month. I’m betting the airbnb will have just as inspired decorating as Vanessa’s dining room.nn😜🇨🇦
I was quite surprised she touched the lanterns. I thought she was going to burn her hand. Pretty home.
The TV is horrible. People need to stop putting them above the fireplace! Why? It's too high if you are sitting, it looks awful, and real art would be so much nicer. Find a TV cabinet!
I agree!
I agreed with everything you said.😊
Thanks for watching 🤍🤍
You're wrong about the powder room green tiles. They're perfect.
Love the bathroom tiles myself but the green of the wallpaper isn’t quite right.
The Dining room LACKS romance; it needs a better color and upholstered chairs. The rattan chair? Move it out front or back. Otherwise she could go bolder w the green in the kitchen. Lovely spaces.
First comment! I love your velour jacket: the colour is beautiful.
Thank you so much! I have so many nice suits, it’s about time o start wearing them more ✌🏼
Green tiles clash w/plumey wallpaper
Im sure she enjoyed quarantine in her home
And here I was in my tiny condo shoebox 😭
🎶 Imagine all the people...🎶 😂
Please do the Jessica Alba house tour 🙏🏻✨
The dining room would be much improved by changing the chairs, which are dowdy and stodgy.
Agreed! It was very lack luster
Design Daddy's velvet jacket is the best part, in terms of sexual stimulation, hands down.
The coffee table is the right size, shape, color, etc., but a dark stained pine, just looks cheap. The tile would have looked much better with A LOT of that same exact green in the paper. A hint of that color and it still looks out of place.
The exterior gardens are so outstanding, she should have noted the landscape architect that did that work. NO, an interior designer did not design those gardens.
It was staged to be sold (a common theme for most of AD videos) so that could explain why some of the room were empty/looks generic. But she does have nice taste for art!
That bathroom does not have avocado color tile, it is more mint.
Ya, ask her who is Jean Seberg😅
This is not french chateau i see french influence but french chateau is somthing diffrent
Tomatoes and Bananas are really pretty. Squash and eggplant.
Go crazy.
my opinion: Vanessa Hudgens has the best style 🙌
I always find it interesting when people say “for a celebrity home” as if they expect everything to be floor to ceiling gold and tacky. Most celebs like to get away from the tackiness of Hollywood to envelop themselves in something comfortable, relaxing, and normal.
can you watch: Jesica Alba house, Troy Sivan, and J Balvin Japanese home. PLEASE!!????🙏🏾
Beautiful home other than powder room. I can’t pull together anything warm no matter what the budget.
~I have old books. Love 'em.
~She's 5'1". She's a wee thing.
~This goes to show that you can be famous and not have an ostentatious home. I swear, some of these celebrity homes have rooms no one ever even enter, except by accident.
Please please review Sofia Vergara's home
It’s a pleasant home. My issue with “celebrity” homes is the fact someone else designed/curated them. It’s like buying fast food bringing it home then plating it and calling yourself a chef.
You know I didnt realize till you said this that is what I find disappointing, you know anyone can buy anything when they have the money but not many have real taste and style and these celebs are just buying it
Nearly all wealthy people have interior designers to help curate their home. Look at some of the fabulous homes in London, they all have their professional designers. The skillset it takes to create great wealth or achievement doesn't necessarily translate into having great vision for a home. The other way to look at it, they are employing many people in the design space who without them wouldn't make a living.
@@mtngrl5859 you can design your own space very easily.
And they don't build their own homes from the ground up either, doesn't make it any less theirs. Your analogy doesn't make sense. 😅
I would have re designed everything! It´s just meh.. like nothing. And I acctually like the green in the kitchen, but I hate brass...
Daddy Sofia Vergara next please❤️
Literally filming this today! 🥰🥰
@@mrphoenixgrey 🥰❤️
I really did not like the green tiles in the powder room.
Every home tour has the hostess claiming they are "obsessed" with one thing or another. I counted 3 things she is obsessed with. That dining room is indeed screaming for a do over.
Love Vanessa love her home but I agree with you not a fan of musicals
You don’t like orange? 😂 you’re wearing it.
So far my favorite celebrity home I have seen is Sofia Vergaras Home
I just finished filming my blind react for her today! Stay tuned
The livingroom looks a bit empty. It seems that they forgot 1/3 of the room.
I have to agree with you now that I’ve watched through it again. There are a lot of elements in there, but you’re right, it feels like it’s missing something. Either something to ground the center, or even a colour on the ceiling or wallpaper I feel could have made a real wow factor 👍🏼👍🏼
do nina dobrev!!!
The powder room tile is awful
Aren't the ivy covering the whole wall damaging the wall over time? I know for sure that they are a nightmare to remove, because I had to do it myself once :(. "The sexual bathroom" had me cackling, because I've known guys who loved that vibe, for obvious reasons, lol.
I’m not sure if it depends on the type of ivy, but in Britain ivy covers homes that are hundreds of years old.
Yes but they also become part of the wall and eventually become a structural part of the wall.
I don’t like a tv above a mantle fireplace. Anyone watching will get a sore neck & it’s not good for the tv either!
When a person is “obsessed” - as Vanessa says she is - with so many things, then one isn’t really obsessed with anything at all, are they? 🤔
The only thing that bothered me were the colors on her bed. Too many of them and not really matching.
I have to agree. Too much warmth with the vibrancy
But this is so old. I saw this a few years ago. She got married last year and probably doesn't live there anymore.
Obsessed. You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Yikes! Black tile in the shower. Nightmare to clean. All you will see is water spots
Adore you Phoenix but please make that chair go away
I have a new custom one coming end of the month!
Omg I don't like her bedrooms!!love her bathroom
But does it articulate it? 🙃
Haha! I need a word count every time 🤣
You Americans have no idea about France.
I don’t like Marilyn Hanging on the wall. Depressing
It looks like she’s looking funny at you when you sit on the toilet 🤣
Everything looks nice, pretty home, except the picture of the devil looking creature. I would replace it with a nice landscape.
