Inside Ellen Pompeo’s Midcentury Malibu Beach House | Open Door | Architectural Digest

- Today Architectural Digest is welcomed to Malibu by Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo for a tour of her inviting mid-century beach house. Pompeo first went to scope out the property several years earlier, when the house was originally up for sale and Grey’s was still in its infancy. “I knew I couldn’t afford it, but I didn’t tell anyone that,” she confesses. When the house came back on the market in 2013, she seized the second chance. As her fans know, Pompeo is a bona fide interior-design enthusiast whose past renovations include a modern barn in Sag Harbor and her main residence, a 1920s Mediterranean-style villa in Los Angeles. The addition of her Malibu home has only added fuel to the fire. “I am entering a very exciting phase of my life, if I do say so myself.”

Very beautiful absolutely nice place suitable for lovely 💞💞💞 couples to to relax thanks
Loved the seaweed cactus, although struggling to find one in the UK 😣
We ain't black blank bland bleak bleach blond Blanco blanc blackout bla bla bla Websters Dic we be Indigenous American Indian and you invadedour Land!!!!!!
No worried about rising sea levels then? Me either.
Why is no one talking about her Meredith Grey level love for tequila?! Made my whole day 😂
I was looking for this comment! Lol
Yes!! And she has three kids just like the show!
i thought of meredith immediately
@@kaitlyn6530 and her kids are black too!
ikr!!!!!!!! lol!
She seems to be really into architecture/design and know her stuff! I also love that she was honest about the marble bath tub!
I like how she mentioned the ocean environment destroyed the old house so she pretty much had to rebuild from the start. Didnt realize that happened though i know they have to repaint bridges over oceans constantly cause of the corrosion.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ No
Ikr, it kinda made me giggle the bath tup part because it's way too common for us to do something in our house and have an instant regret...
@heehee63 Maybe that's why people should stop building so near to the Ocean....1
This is my favorite episode I have ever seen. She is so relatable and real. Granted she is a rich celebrity, she comes off like a mom showing her home. Not a snob showing off. I love her beautiful home!
Too me nothing is relatable in here 😂
She comes off as super rich.
👍
Interesting!! I felt quite the opposite haha
I love this one !!!!
She is so well spoken. And her voice has a natural flow, no fakeness, no pretending - just her and her house. So cool
She's an actress 👏
You are joking right? People with speech impediments are hard to listen to!
'' Nat_Blueberry''. So, you've made the choice to be naive. Since when people in front a camera are '' real''?
@@amandinemanddyna2705 what bs are you spouting?
@@missyperry9510 She was raised in Everett Massachusetts - only 9 miles from Brookeline.
I love how she simply explains her household's little and relevant stories whilst describing the whole home tour. Love her vibe and sweet smile. The best part of this home is the wooden pieces that add so much coziness:)
👍
This is really what design is about. Not just how things look but how they work for your family. So this is honestly perfect.
Honestly- this has been one of my favourite episodes. So much personality in the details. Ellen Pompeo's curated choices and story telling really make it feel so personable and lived in. Very refreshing to see so much colour!!
Same!
it's like a nostalgic episode of Grey's Anatomy where she narrates us through the episode.
Totally not my style BUT absolutely my favourite episode!
Same!
Honestly, this episode was jaw dropping. My dream home come true ❤
I LOVE this house. Especially the guest room with all of the black representation and impactful moments they’ve had throughout history. She really seems to love her children so much 🥹
me too. Inspired me to have more art of my own!
I love how honest she was about things like the heating issue with the marble tub - something I never considered and will definitely keep in mind for future decisions. Also underlines that she actually lives in and uses all parts of her house - I loved this (and her)!
I’m so glad Ellen showed the kids space because most of these home tours leave out the kids spaces. They are so important in facilitating imaginations and playtime. Very cool layout and views!
Most of them don’t show their kids’ rooms out of privacy.
@@brandoniswhoiam Right..because there’s nothing more private than showing every single other room in an architectural tour, including the master bedroom.
@@TheNerdistheWord The master bathroom is the space of adults, who can decide for themselves whether and how this private space is shown on the internet. i doubt that the children here could decide for themselves or that they are aware of the extent of this decision (and for example how many people, see this video)... The privacy of a child is always more important than the interest of outsiders in Interiour.
@@nobody___knows I could understand the argument if there was anything revealing about the children’s room like photos of them hanging or the children themselves. But it’s just a fairly basic room for her kids on the weekend.
@@TheNerdistheWord
Adults can legally consent, kids can’t. Ellen is showing what she and her husband are ok with showing not what we want to see.
I so respect Ellen’s intentional representation of Black art and creativity in her home for her children’s cultural development. The house is a whole vibe😎 Beautiful!
I do love the historic photos, yeah. I did find it a bit interesting she didn't seem to feel any need to also teach her kids about the other half of their history, since half of their family and ancestors are european, but that may be just the reality of being mixed race in the US. She may just feel like her kids will already learn plenty about that side of their history everywhere they go?
@@junbh2you can learn about white everywhere. Black history not so much..
@@eskiixo This is a lie. Where can you learn about white people?? Do white people have an entire month dedicated to their history? That's what I thought.
@@junbh2 Ellen has this weird obsession with black people. I know her husband is black, but it goes much further than that. She's pretty creepy about it considering that she's white. There's plenty of videos on CZcams of her talking about black people and getting really emotional. It's... strange.
@@clementine9187 I get annoyed the way she has to point it out...why can't she just teach them that it doesn't matter what colour your born we are all born equal and we have to work for what we have...it shouldn't matter what colour we are...she is obsessed with it
I love that she always mentions the kids and her husband. She is such a mom and I idolize that about her. How I wish to have this kind of house.
Oh, I agree 100%, will win the Euromillions hopefully & build y own dream home...believe me I need it.
This house is not my style but at the same time I’m beyond obsessed, love the integration of the marble!
I think it looks like a hotel. It is beautiful, but for me it doesn't feel like home!
@@andrisgailitisI agree. Too much marble in every room. Makes it feel like a big bathroom. But that ocean view... Wow.
Can we talk about the DYNAMIC DESIGN DUO OF ELLEN AND MARTIN???!!! EVERY SINGLE TIME these two work together on her homes, they knock it STRAIGHT OUTTA THE BALLPARK!!!!!!! Waiting on a coffee table book from these two on the homes that he's done with her!
Love how she honours her husband and black artists who are very talented but not accessible.
👍
agreed! mad respect for that. Not many people do that
@@howtobe_rich ♥️
@@omadjourney 🙂
He paid for it
Her trying to make sure her kids feel safe in their skin is so amazing
Love that Ellen used the term “primary bedroom.” She is the definition of what good looks like as an ally.
I picked up on that too and hoped I wasn’t the only one. She’s great!
Came here to say this!
What does that even mean
@@MysteriMustacheToast honestly I have no clue either primary bedroom is just another way to say master bedroom
@@MysteriMustacheToast master bedroom terminology is remnant of the antebellum slave era.
What a beautiful house. I love the balance between the dark and light tones. Also, Ellen is such a charming host!
She’s so classy, well spoken and I love that she embraces representation for her kids.
I love how family oriented she is. Her heart feels open. 💚
her wealth of knowledge is amazing. she didn’t just say “i want midcentury modern” to her ID and left. she really did collaborate. it’s refreshing.
This is one of the best houses I have seen on AD. Gorgeous structure, brilliant mix of materials in the interiors and love the way they have used green in their entire home.
Not my style of decor but its definitely stylish with gorgeous art. It feels unique and personal- not copied. She is legit cool. I love the way she talks about her kids, so real.
This is by far my favorite house of all. So much elegance and class mixed in with warm and very comfortable vibes. My all time favorite.
Hands down my most favorite episode to date! The home is stunning and Ellen is so real it’s fantastic! Bravo! 👏🏼
Ellen Pompeo’s humble abode seems fitting to her own personality. Stylish, elegant, yet not too over the top.
haha is this sarcasm? indeed, such a humble abode
Its totally extravagant in my eyes... those large marble columns in the kitchen, yeah not so humble
@@painterlyrabbit Humble as far as rich people go.
Did you just use the word “humble” to describe it….???
@@leprovokateur7745 LOL the only way to describe this beach home as "humble" is through the lens of a billionaire Arab prince that lives in a castle LMFAO
I havent seen Greys in YEARS but when she opened that door and said hi I just smiled so wiiiide :D
The most detailed house tour I've ever scene. She's so involved in the formation/renovation of her house, her love makes it a home.
the part where Ellen "banishes" her kids to sit on the 3 chairs with that ocean view to curb their social media usage made me laugh. Wonderful actress and sad to know she's leaving Grey's but excited to see her next projects. =)
Love the exuberant use of color. It would have been so easy to fall back on the monochromatic beach look but she didn’t and it’s glorious!
This is the most down to earth celebrity AD home interview I've seen.
The intentionality...a mother's love... She's so sweet.
When I saw “beach house” I wasn’t interested, expecting the same white and blue fair we always see. Wow! Did not see this coming. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home! ❤
The fact that Meredith and Ellen both love tequila 😂🎉
Never saw anything by Ellen, but her personality shines through and love the way she talks about the children especially how she banishes them to watch the ocean as punishment!
Haha, Love that part!
Absolutely and truly spit out my sip of coffee when she explained her kitchen rules! So funny, and reminds me of my mother
Ellen Pompeo is in a class by herself. For someone so incredibly wealthy & successful in her career her way of being is so grounded & down-to-earth that it blows my mind as to how she happens to have accomplished this feat. I watched her recently on Actors & Actors with Katherine H. & again, EP's no-nonsense, earthy-grounded perspective & way of being was incandescently inspiring.
Thanks, AD & Ellen Pompeo, for a lovely tour.
Love it....stylish, elegant, and yet very welcoming. Ellen Pompeo has a good eye for design . Well done!
agreed! very elegant home. it fits her well
This might be my favorite AD Open Door ever - Ellen you need to host and lead more architectural tours (of any space). What great commentary and so authentic!
I LOVED this episode! I love how intentional Ellen and Martin were with their use of both materials and color. Also, Ellen's commentary and easy-going personality made it so pleasant to watch ❤
The subtle, but clear “primary room and restroom” thank you Ellen for letting the “masters” die with history
I love how because she has Black children, she INTENTIONALLY incorporates Black excellence all over her house 👏🏾👏🏾this is why I will always love her
Love her intelligence, humbleness and more importantly her kindness.
I love that she actually acknowledges the interior designer
She's so funny! I never see anybody talk about how funny Ellen is. Her humor is very subtle but so funny.
The three little chairs are hilarious!
I love everything about this house- exterior design, interior furnishings and decor. I think it's especially noteworthy that it's not what you'd typically expect from a California beach house- mid century structure with a lot of dark, rich colors.
How refreshingly different 💚. We have become so used to minimalism being the standard, with so many homes being mundane replicas of one another.
This house is just so beautiful...and money CANNOT BUY TASTE. But she's blessed with both taste and money. Freaking stunning. A work of ART...gorgeous!!
Well, in some ways it can. You can hire a designer to have taste for you ;). But I guess you'd at least have to know what designer to hire!
I shoulda said money can't buy STYLE!
@@junbh2 it still wouldn't be your style though...it would be money buying someone else's for you which is exactly why money can't make you a stylish. I see it all the time...broke artistic people with amazing style and I see rich folks with none. Its a talent, I tell ya.
I already knew this but it's been confirmed again, I LOVE HER! She's cool and intelligent and awesome. Lovely home... thanks for sharing!
That meredith grey money is well spent. An amazing home the interior is a balanced harmony between modernity and coziness i love it
This house is like an extended art gallery, it's like every room/space sets the scene. I love this house! Especially being so close to the ocean.
Love how much of the furniture are found pieces instead of having everything designed and made. Much more eco friendly and authentic
I just love her energy and her lovely smile she drops from time to time 😃
I just loved this. She spoke so well about everything and knows her stuff with architecture. X
she’s unbelievably stunning. love her so much, her energy, her smile and raspy voice she’s perfect. beautiful inside and out.
I love how knowledgable she is about all of the details of her home. So much beautiful thought and attention to detail was put into making it a functional work of art as well as a warm home.
Ellen's home is absolutely stunning! Seriously my favorite ever. Totally makes me miss California and I'm obsessed with her decor inspiration. 💯 ❤️
Ellen seems like the coolest mom friend ever lol she’s so chill
This is one of my favorite homes
I love that she loves tequila just as much as her character Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy 🥰. Her house is beautiful
I love that she met her husband at the grocery store. Real life romcom lol
I love how this is both a piece of art and a homey house. Equally! As a parent you don’t have to scarify one for the other. And yes she’s lucky she doesn’t know half of us, we’d all be there dancing and drinking tequila with just lime! 😂😂
SCARIFY???
I love how inspired she is with her design choices!! She has great taste😍
This is the most sensible house I’ve ever seen on this for someone who makes a lot of money! I love it! She had to rebuild the house but didn’t make it a mansion!
Fantastic! Really enjoy the personality in this home’s interior design. The exterior looks stunning against the lush green lawn and the ocean in the foreground. ✨
Oh my goodness what an incredibly gorgeous and vibrant home. Every detail and her knowledge about architecture and design is mind blowing!
I feel like she really knew what she was talking about when we talked about architecture and design. I really appreciate that! I have watched a lot of these architecture digest videos and I don’t feel like many celebrities know what they are talking about.
Absolutely loved the style incorporated in their home! Also liked that she spoke about her yucca and spiraled cactus. Both so pretty. I laughed when she said no one is allowed in the kitchen this is my space. That is so me!
I Am (in) Love with this house. What an amazing combination of architecture, art, interior design, and FUN family life!
Those 20 seasons of Greys paid for all that marble
i love how Ellen talks about Kitchen rules and her space like its the OR
One of the most beautiful and livable homes yet!
Ellen, your house is exquisite, a real testament to your’s and your partner’s in crime exceptional taste in interior design. This is the best I’ve seen, so far, on AD. Congrats on a wonderful home and thank you for sharing your esthetic masterpiece with us.
Ellen is stunning and a gracious human being. SO happy for her and this lovely house
Love how intentional every room is. Love her home so tranquil and design aesthetic superb. Very genuine lady. Thanks for having us over AD & Ellen 😊
She and the house are EVERYTHING! So pretty, elegant and fun!
What a gorgeous house. I love Ellen. She is so simple, and she just casually speaks.
The design of the house folds beautifully into the backyard which flows into the ocean. It is a perfect home for the water.
I love that people create their home with their experience , love , creativity , culture , their roots to feel grounded....I feel like home is the best place to be in or to have and being able to decorate home as our imagination is such a different thing
Not wanting anyone in the kitchen while you're in there. I felt that in my soul. I love her.
Amazed at how she knows her stuff AND is a great host. One of the best videos of the channel for sure
I appreciate you for the support of Black Art. Thank you so much and you have a great day and Beautiful 2023.
The house is gorgeous and that view! She's so engaging and natural, you can't not like her.
Your home is absolutely gorgeous. The ocean views are breathtaking! I bet it is so calming and peaceful to be there! Thanks for sharing.
I don’t know if this is the best episode because Ellen’s house is so great or because I love Ellen 😂🤍
This is my favorite one of these to date, and Ellen Pompeo is stunning as usual 😍🥰
When you’re the highest paid on your show you can have everything 😍
And you don't bail the minute you have a hit movie, but stay loyal to the show that put you on the map...
A stunning home! I feel like it is relatable, a home that is well loved and actually lived in. I love how she incorporates black history and photography. She definitely beams when talking about her family. Ellen is pure loveliness.
What a beautiful house, seems very cosy ! Insane ocean views, imagine waking up to those ...
I love that she paid homage to the Black creatives that have advanced the industry she has been a part of and benefited from. Beautiful home.
An exceptionally designed home! Ellen has a new fan for her and Martins stunning creative design work!
She and interior designer made so many great choices. I love that each room has its own color story. I love the deep blues and the various marbles
Just love this house.
The way she said " l have black children," instead of 'mixed children' just made my heart so happy! She knows who they are and isn't afraid to sugar-coat it. I love her so much!
I ask this in a genuine, and hopefully respectful way, but why is saying 'black children' preferable to saying 'mixed children', when the mother is white?
Both are true...they are black, and they are mixed.
@@Mrs.Currie Because in society today, being mixed is always looked at as “better” than black children. For her to say my “black” kids signifies she sees their race as both and not just the white side as opposed to other white mothers with mixed children.
@@ShawnJadyn Interesting, thanks for explaining that.
@@Mrs.Curriethis world especially this country will always see black/white (mixed) children as black.
One of the best home tours I’ve seen, Ellen is so down to earth and so humble, the way she talks about parenting and her kids is just so real! she has beautiful taste in everything, her home is stunning 💕
The earthy color scheme that I want in my house. She is an all around artistic thinker.
'Primary' Bedroom + 'Primary Bathroom' ---- for the win!❤️
I loved this tour and her home. The representation is phenomenal. LOVE that she said primary bedroom. iykyk
Ellen’s home is literally Art Work 😍
Having watched a few episodes of AD, I have in past years been impressed by a few. This home's beauty stands above all I've watched. Magnificence of the decorative blending compliments the structure, with not losing comfortably of family life incorporated. Exquisitely detailed in all aspects. BRAVO 👏
