Who doesn't love a peek inside the home of a celebrity? While cruising around one of my favourite blogs asimplyluxuriouslife.com I stumbled over a feature on Jennifer Aniston's new Beverly Hills Apartment. The story originally appeared in American VOGUE December 2008 issue, so her 'new' apartment is not so new anymore, but the images are amazing.
Here are some notes from the VOGUE article:
“ trying to take in the scale of this unusual house; all 10,000 square feet are on one floor, and everything is of a surprising proportion – the rooms, the doors, even the doorknobs are bigger than you’d expect . . .”
“The handles on her office doors are enormous bronze mudras hands from Thailand, ‘I know there’s a meaning to the positioning of the fingers,’ [Aniston] says, ‘and I should know what it is, but these basically are meant to ward off evil spirits.’”
“The house was designed in 1970 by architect Hal Levitt, best known for the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas.”
“What she thought was going to be a four-month project turned into a nearly two-year journey. She seems to be loving every minute of it.”
“The house itself suggested a decor, one that Aniston hired interior designer Stephen Shadley to help her execute and describes it as ‘combo platter’: Hawaiian lanai meets Balinese Zen palace.”
“'It wanted to have that feeling that when you walked in you were able to throw your feet up and just be peaceful. But I also wanted it to feel . . . sexy.’ [Aniston] narrows her eyes and shakes her hair for comic effect. ‘This is a sexy house!’”
