Here we are with three more fabulous celebrity homes. We go back to California, after all that is where most of the stars reside and then back to an entertainment news reporters Montana inspired amazing ranch retreat right in the heart of the Hamptons, NY. Again three different styles but all so fabulously done. Really hope you have enjoyed touring the homes of the celebrities whose homes I have profiled these last few days. Lets get started.....
Here we are back in luxurious Beverly Hills to the home of famous singer/songwriter, Lionel Ritchie. This glorious estate is decorated by J. Jonathan Joseph and Peter Schifando. This spread was featured in Architectural Digest. This Italian Renaissance Revival built in 1929 was completely redone soup to nuts and the result is nothing less than splendid. Take a look at the 28 room mansion....
LIONEL RITCHIE'S FABULOUS ITALIAN REVIVAL MANSION IN BEVERLY HILLS
The courtyard and front of the splendid Italian Renaissance style mansion looks like it could be set in the hills of Tuscany
The colors used in the living room are so fabulous, lots of beige's and golds, love that tapestry!
The living room..check out that ceiling! The columns that grace the fireplace are 17th century
The dining room, love the limestone fireplace
The elegant library, a perfect showcase for his vast collection of awards
The rear of the house, graced by beautiful formal gardens and a rose garden
The master bedroom overlooks the rose garden. The bed is Ebanista.
That's quite a bath, the mahogany encased tub looks fabulous next to the limestone fireplace
The elaborate gardens in the rear of the house, including many cypress and magnolia trees amongst the sprawling limestone balconies and patios
Staying in California we move on to Ryan Seacrest's home in the Hollywood Hills. This house, aptly named, Casa de Pici or House of Peace sits high in the Hollywood Hills. It was built in the 1970's so its not an old house but has oodles of charm. It is smaller than many of the homes I have featured but is has a definite sense of warmth and cohesiveness in the design and decor. All interior design is done by Jeff Andrews.

Rich, deep masculine colors were used in the cozy breakfast room
Master bedroom retreat, lots of woods and dark colors were used here for this peaceful sanctuary
Lap pool with those views...wow those views!
Now we move all the way to the east coast, to the glamorous Hamptons where the Today's show, Jill Rappaport has realized her Montana dreams right in her own backyard! She designed this 11 room charmer on her own with the help of Pioneer Log Homes. After starting off on 6 acres years ago, she was able to buy other properties around her and ended up with 18 acres...so she really does have her own little piece of Montana right in the Hamptons. I think its incredibly well done and so inviting. Lets have a look....

The kitchen with its log beams, wide plank floors makes for a casually fun space, cabinet design by John Scarola

There is the beautiful back of another house...something about the rear of the homes, not a bad view to wake up to!
Beautiful master bedroom, with the tall ceiling of exposed beams. The bed is a Mexican antique
The inviting entrance hall with the polished red cedar logs and barn wood flooring by Carlisle.
So that ends our fantasy trip of celebrity homes. Hope you will come back tomorrow. Wishing you all a wonderful and peaceful day. Praying here in New York for NO MORE SNOW.
I have personally, had quite enough. Let me know if you had a favorite and why!
