1. 0:00Hey ad, it's me again. Welcome to my
2. 0:03mountain house. [music] Come on in.
3. 0:14[music]
4. 0:21We are in the living room now. I worked
5. 0:23with Heidi Kier on this house and I feel
6. 0:25like one of the first things I said to
7. 0:27her was I really wanted like grandma
8. 0:28chic. I wanted the kind of explosion of
9. 0:31patterns and fabrics and textures. We
10. 0:33made this couch to be extremely big and
11. 0:36extremely comfy cozy. I sit tested it
12. 0:39and made sure it was perfect. We picked
13. 0:41this like chintz fabric. I thought it
14. 0:43was really bold and beautiful. I have
15. 0:45always kind of had this dream and vision
16. 0:47of like a very just exotic kind of crazy
17. 0:51couch that becomes the statement in the
18. 0:52room and this one turned out perfectly.
19. 0:55A lot of the books in the house I've
20. 0:57like personally gone out to buy. I love
21. 0:59finding antique shops around town and
22. 1:01finding cute little random things that I
23. 1:04grab and everything kind of has a story.
24. 1:05So, most of the books on this table have
25. 1:07been found locally. I worked very
26. 1:10closely with Heidi. Heidi probably
27. 1:11thinks I'm so annoying because I
28. 1:13[laughter] feel like I micromanage
29. 1:14everything, especially my homes. But we
30. 1:17had so much fun. And this house was
31. 1:19really, I'd say, like semi-experimental
32. 1:22for me. I wanted to kind of send it. But
33. 1:24we're up in the mountains. I felt like
34. 1:25there were no rules when designing. And
35. 1:28I really wanted to kind of test my
36. 1:29limits and see how far we could take it
37. 1:31while still feeling like me. It felt
38. 1:33really fun, really refreshing, and just
39. 1:35a little bit different for me. And I I
40. 1:37had the best time doing it. This is the
41. 1:39most communal room in the house. We have
42. 1:42the kitchen right here. There's the
43. 1:44piano here. A lot of friends have ended
44. 1:45up on this piano. And we watch movies
45. 1:48out here. Actually, the other night I
46. 1:50filled the couch for the first time from
47. 1:52one end to the other. It was filled with
48. 1:54people. There were some people on the
49. 1:56floor and that made me really happy. I
50. 1:57think one of the most special things
51. 1:59about groundup builds is you're working
52. 2:00on the house for so long and you you're
53. 2:03envisioning like moments with friends
54. 2:05and you're envisioning what kind of
55. 2:06nights and laughs and talks are you
56. 2:08going to get into. And so, it's been
57. 2:09really cool for me to have people over
58. 2:11and fill the space in the ways that I
59. 2:13had dreamt and imagined for so long. So,
60. 2:15yeah, it's been awesome.
61. 2:20>> [music]
62. 2:21>> A friend of mine called me one day and
63. 2:23was like, "I found something really,
64. 2:24really cool that I think you might
65. 2:26like." And he had found this Gibson
66. 2:28piano online. I immediately had to pick
67. 2:31it up. There were only 20 made from what
68. 2:33I believe. This one is signed by Les
69. 2:34Paul. It is such a cool little rare
70. 2:37find. Thank you to my friend. You know
71. 2:38who you are. And I just felt like it fit
72. 2:40so perfectly in this house. Red is one
73. 2:42of my favorite colors. Regrettably, I
74. 2:44don't play, but um I would love to
75. 2:46learn, and I think this would be the
76. 2:47perfect place to start. Um but my
77. 2:49friends, you know, have been in here
78. 2:51many a times and gotten active on this
79. 2:54thing, so it gets some good use. I found
80. 2:56this harmonica in town. There's two of
81. 2:58them, the big one and the little one.
82. 3:00The same friend who found me this piano,
83. 3:02he was with me in town at an antique
84. 3:03shop, and we just thought they were so
85. 3:05cute, so they came home with me. [music]
86. 3:13>> [music]
87. 3:17>> This is the kitchen. We wanted a really
88. 3:18open space, hence it's kind of connected
89. 3:21to the family room. When building the
90. 3:23house and kind of figuring out how we
91. 3:25were going to get the most light, this
92. 3:26skylight came up and I thought, how
93. 3:29perfect in a place that snows, the trees
94. 3:31come through really beautifully. And I
95. 3:32think it creates such nice light in
96. 3:33here. So, that was a really genius idea
97. 3:36on the architect and designer's part.
98. 3:38For a while, we were playing with so
99. 3:39many ideas. Is it a color? Is it yellow?
100. 3:42In the end, I kind of sat with it and I
101. 3:43was like, there's so much going on in
102. 3:44the house that I want it to feel a
103. 3:46little bit more neutral. So, we used the
104. 3:48floors and the range and the details
105. 3:51like the little curtains at the bottom
106. 3:52of the sink and all those things as the
107. 3:54pops of color. And I'm really happy with
108. 3:55how it turned out. I think I definitely
109. 3:58built this house more for my friends
110. 4:00than I did for myself. Every time I come
111. 4:02here, there's a million invites out for
112. 4:03any one of my friends and all of them
113. 4:05are pretty much down to come. and um
114. 4:07it's just really good vibes. So, I
115. 4:09wanted to create a really fun, peaceful
116. 4:11place and this has become that. My mom
117. 4:15was looking at a house and begged me to
118. 4:17come see it with her. And when we walked
119. 4:18in, we saw a fireplace in a kitchen and
120. 4:20we just thought it was so cute. And to
121. 4:22go along with the cozy vibes being up in
122. 4:24the mountains and it getting pretty cold
123. 4:25here half the year, I thought the more
124. 4:28fireplaces the better. When I got this
125. 4:29little asparagus guy in town, I kind of
126. 4:32like shopping locally here just cuz it
127. 4:34feels fun to tell a story. It's also
128. 4:36just something fun to do in a sleepy
129. 4:38little mountain town. My Campbell mugs
130. 4:40were a gift from [snorts] I call her
131. 4:42like my second mom so long ago and they
132. 4:44sat in my house in LA for forever. I
133. 4:47hope she doesn't watch this and I didn't
134. 4:48really use them, but I like them. So
135. 4:51anyways, when I was thinking what could
136. 4:53I bring over here to the mountains, they
137. 4:56they made it. Now they get all the use.
138. 4:58So it was just a matter of time. [music]
139. 5:05This is the dining room. I knew I wanted
140. 5:07a big table because it is really pretty
141. 5:09much the only communal place for
142. 5:10everyone to sit and eat. We came up with
143. 5:12this kind of big bette idea and I love
144. 5:15the oversizeness of it. And so this room
145. 5:18gets a lot of action now. We started
146. 5:20this puzzle here. Um I'm ashamed to
147. 5:23admit like three trips ago. It is the
148. 5:26hardest puzzle [laughter] I've ever done
149. 5:27in my life. It is laughing at me. It's
150. 5:30mocking me. It's [laughter] ashamed of
151. 5:32me. Like, it's so hard. I've had maybe
152. 5:35eight different minds on this puzzle and
153. 5:38this is as far as we've come in three
154. 5:39different trips, just so everybody's
155. 5:41aware. But I'm finishing it. I'm
156. 5:42committed to finishing this puzzle. So,
157. 5:44but we've done dinners here and you
158. 5:46know, I do therapy here. I think one of
159. 5:50the biggest things in this room was I
160. 5:52wanted it to feel a bit like a sun room
161. 5:54and that's what it turned into. The
162. 5:55light trickles in so nicely and we have
163. 5:57some aspen trees outside that kind of
164. 5:59flicker the light in and it's a really
165. 6:01pretty room.
166. 6:04I think you guys know what this is. The
167. 6:06most important room in the house, the
168. 6:10bar.
169. 6:17When thinking about this house and how
170. 6:19casual it is up here in the mountains, I
171. 6:20thought, what kind of art am I going to
172. 6:22put in this house? and I came across one
173. 6:24of the biggest western auctions. I had
174. 6:26the best time bidding online and finding
175. 6:28a couple pieces for the house. It was so
176. 6:30addicting, so much fun. It was just a
177. 6:33joy to find and feel like I was putting
178. 6:35intention into the house.
179. 6:41[music]
180. 6:42The powder room was really important to
181. 6:44me. It's the only one in the house, and
182. 6:45so I wanted to feel really charming and
183. 6:47cute. I had seen inspiration um from
184. 6:51Green River Project and they had the
185. 6:52cutest little bathroom. It was just all
186. 6:54wood with a colored toilet and a sink. I
187. 6:56kind of wanted to recreate that here. I
188. 6:58just think it feels really fun. I love
189. 6:59this bathroom. It's a special little
190. 7:01place.
191. 7:03[music]
192. 7:08[music]
193. 7:12I love waking up here. Although I feel
194. 7:14it's a very mature room, it also feels
195. 7:16like a little girl's room in a way. And
196. 7:17so I kind of feel like my childlike self
197. 7:19in this room. So I love waking up here.
198. 7:22I remember being a little intimidated by
199. 7:24the wallpaper before we put it onto the
200. 7:26walls and thinking, "Oh no, did we make
201. 7:27a crazy mistake. It came together so
202. 7:30well and I'm so happy we went for it. I
203. 7:32wanted it to feel like you want to read
204. 7:33a million books in here." And I think we
205. 7:35achieved that. I love my ceilings in
206. 7:38here. We did reclaimed beams with
207. 7:40reclaimed paneling. I think it just
208. 7:41turned out so well. It really warms up
209. 7:43the room really nicely. Obviously, we
210. 7:45have the fireplace which also feels
211. 7:47really cozy and again read all the books
212. 7:49in here. Just imagine book room. [music]
213. 7:59I
214. 8:00love this bathroom. This burgundy color
215. 8:03is like one of my favorite colors in the
216. 8:05world. But this bathroom has been super
217. 8:07fun. Between the vated ceilings and just
218. 8:09all the windows and how big it is, it's
219. 8:10such a nice room to hang out in. And my
220. 8:13shower might be my favorite thing in
221. 8:15this entire house. [music] It's perfect.
222. 8:18It's literally perfect. So, we took
223. 8:19inspiration off of the floors in the
224. 8:22kitchen and kind of pulled it into this
225. 8:24bathroom. Just like the peace, the
226. 8:28quiet, the serenity. Like, it's just
227. 8:30fun. It's a fun shower. And I recommend
228. 8:34highly to do a checkered shower in your
229. 8:36house. [music]
230. 8:43This is a adult bunk bedroom, I like to
231. 8:46call it. We had kind of this idea of
232. 8:49doing each bunk in a different fabric
233. 8:51and making it its own little world. I
234. 8:53imagine my nieces and nephews being in
235. 8:55here, probably my future kids being in
236. 8:57here. But I've had friends stay in this
237. 8:59room and the beds are the perfect size
238. 9:00for an adult as well as a kid. It makes
239. 9:02me happy. The custom red ladder. I think
240. 9:05the red the red was my my choice. I
241. 9:07wanted a pop in here and I think I was
242. 9:08begging for red at some point in the
243. 9:10house and kept getting shut down and
244. 9:12finally I got it. So, I was really happy
245. 9:13with this red ladder. But, you know,
246. 9:15pray for anyone that stays on the second
247. 9:17story and has to pee in the middle of
248. 9:19the night because it's [laughter] kind
249. 9:20of sketchy.
250. 9:25[music] I adore this bathroom. It feels
251. 9:28kind of 70s inspired to me. I really
252. 9:30love this wood bead board and then the
253. 9:32the mix of the green with the brown.
254. 9:34This tile again was super fun to source
255. 9:37and I loved working with this color. I
256. 9:39remember mentioning to Heidi that I
257. 9:41wanted fun little random moments in the
258. 9:43house, things that were offcentered,
259. 9:45maybe not super perfect. So that's where
260. 9:47this came about. I remember watching it
261. 9:49get put in and forgetting we'd made this
262. 9:51decision. And when the house was like
263. 9:53wood, I was like, "What is happening in
264. 9:55this shower?" and then remembered that
265. 9:57we chose to do this. Coming up with the
266. 10:00pallets was also so fun in this house.
267. 10:02Like looking at the tile next to the
268. 10:03wood next to the sconce. Like it was all
269. 10:06so fun to to see it all together and
270. 10:08then again have it kind of come to life
271. 10:10was a fingers crossed moment. But it all
272. 10:12ended up working out perfectly. [music]
273. 10:21We are in one of the guest rooms. This
274. 10:23is a prime example of one of the rooms
275. 10:25that I felt a little daring in. I'm
276. 10:28obsessed with this iron red bed. And
277. 10:30then the polka dots on the walls again
278. 10:32was something that felt really
279. 10:33intimidating for me on paper. And once
280. 10:35they went in, I think they work
281. 10:37perfectly. I might sleep in here one
282. 10:39night cuz I just love it so much.
283. 10:41[music]
284. 10:47[music] Bathrooms are the highlight of
285. 10:49this house most likely. I said this in
286. 10:52my bathroom, but I believe this in this
287. 10:53bathroom. It might be my favorite
288. 10:55bathroom in the house. I love the color
289. 10:56palette in here. I love this deep green
290. 10:58on the walls mixed with the blue tile.
291. 11:01And then there's little pops like little
292. 11:03bits of red and these lamp shades. And I
293. 11:05think this bathroom turned out so
294. 11:06beautifully. The entire room is a bit
295. 11:09whimsical and I think this bathroom also
296. 11:11feels a bit whimsical. I think the theme
297. 11:13of the house is color. On the outside,
298. 11:14the house feels really simple and really
299. 11:16clean and then you kind of come in and
300. 11:18it feels really exciting.
301. 11:21>> [music]
302. 11:24>> A few years ago, I got this Bambi
303. 11:26Airstream as a gift for my birthday.
304. 11:28It's one of my favorite gifts I've ever
305. 11:30gotten. When I got this house years
306. 11:32later, I thought, how perfect would it
307. 11:34be to bring this to the house and gut it
308. 11:37and renovate it and have a little fun
309. 11:39doing that. So, come on in and see.
310. 11:43So, I wanted this to act a bit as a
311. 11:45third guest room. We took the kitchen
312. 11:46out and took all the things that we felt
313. 11:48were unnecessary just for this project.
314. 11:50Fixed it into the ground. Did real
315. 11:51plumbing, real electricity, real AC,
316. 11:54heating, and then added this cute little
317. 11:56shower bath moment. So, I think it's
318. 11:58really fun. Again, another room I might
319. 12:00sleep in one of these days. I think it's
320. 12:03so cozy. All the colors in here are just
321. 12:06actually perfect. And the lace little
322. 12:08drapes and the bod pillowcases. It's
323. 12:11very, very fun.
324. 12:16>> [music]
325. 12:24>> Thanks for coming and visiting me all
326. 12:25the way up in [music] the mountains. I'm
327. 12:26sure I'll see you guys soon.
