The master bedroom has a private terrace with city views, while Reeves’ girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, uses the other bedroom. Aerial view of the mansion. The exterior of the house: The home is stucco with a Spanish-style roof. The house’s façade is white, and it has a huge front ...
I do realize I have a very small furniture hoarding problem, but mostly because we still have two large areas to furnish: the basement and pool house. So, when I see something that might work,especiallyat a reasonable (or great) price, I get it. Worst case scenario, I put it on Crai...
When choosing and adding larger furniture, wood detailing can add a lot of character. Look for classic, clean lined pieces with wood accents in natural places. An exposed frame, legs, even heavy wear areas of arms. Avoid wood additions to odd places, like the top of the back of a sofa....

Shuffling furniture from different rooms was another free way to change the mood of the room. Previously, a petite mid-century dresser sat against this wall. I love it, but it always seemed just a tad small. Moving my grandpa’s old dresser up from the basement took only a few minutes....
Opposite the club chair, I pulled the metal and leather chairs (that were temporarily in our bedroom) to round out the seating group without adding bulk. Living with the closer furniture arrangement hasn’t felt confined or tight 99% of the time. Our only sort of problem is the entertainmen...
7. Once we’ve finished, the theater room can technically be considered a fifth bedroom because we’re adding an oversized closet at the back. Directly left of the window (this was the end of the house before the pool house addition) is the start of our closet wall. The window leads ...
