Towels are layered on a ladder leaned against the wall for easy access when climbing out of the tub. Soaps and shampoo is placed on an old garden chair, completely styled with scented candles and potted roses. You can get the tub from here (at a nice price!).

*

Sage green walls with seagrass green furniture and terracotta floor tiles. Various shades of  muted pinks serve as accent color.

*

A gray wicker chair with soft linen cushion and a matching ottoman provides a place to relax and maybe do a home manicure. The tall floor candle holder and the fresh potted roses adds to the romantic atmosphere.

*

The sink looks like a tiny version of the tub. It is mounted on what looks like a tiny modified desk. Instead of shelves for (additional) towel storage, an old wicker basket is placed underneath the sink console. Definitely cute and creative, but I would want a larger mirror though.

*

Bathroom accessories are stored in a copper  sauce pan inside this cabinet. Talk about matching!

*

The romantic style is all in the details. Take a look at these beautiful jars for storage of bath salt. Decorated with flowers and pink ribbon. So easy, so cute.

*

In need of inspiration? Head over to House to Home where you can (like here) browse by room! BTW I would love to know who designed / styled this bathroom, anyone know?

*

Calm green bedroom with light green walls with brown and cream accents. Also, all trim and window frames are painted a demure blue. If this was my bedroom, I would paint the ceiling, I have a personal war going on with bare wood surfaces.

The same bedroom viewed from the bed. To the left is a “sunrise room”, separated by a wall with an open fireplace and a flat screen TV. To the right is the master bathroom, with blue sliding doors to the tub. You don’t of cause need to climb through the tub to get to the bathroom, there is a normal entry on the side.

Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Svelte Sage.

*

The color scheme is the same in the master bathroom, but with less brown for a lighter cleaner look.

*

One thing I noticed in this house is the extensive use of tiles. In this kitchen for example, the whole wall behind the stove is covered in tiles. This kitchen is in open plan solution with the living area though, so I guess it is a nice way of defining the kitchen area.  What do You think?

*

And with that I had to cover this beautiful “casita” (as they call it), a tiny bedroom with a built in bathroom (see below). I was really surprised they made a feature wall of tiles behind the bed…

(view 360 degrees)

*

But it makes more sense when you see the bathroom placement. I would love to have a guest suite like this to offer my visitors, but personally I prefer a bit more privacy in the bathroom, lol!

The wall color is Sherwin-Williams Foxy.

*

There is just something about the color scheme in this home office that really speaks to me. I’m usually not into these muddy olive greens, but the pops of blue and red really freshens it up. Do you like it?

Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Sycamore Tan.

*

This second bedroom is lilac with whites and creams. Two single four poster beds invites guests to a cozy sleepover.

Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Ash Violet.

*

I love this detail shot. The chair is to die for, and the framed wall sconces are a great touch.

*

Which kid wouldn’t love this colorful bedroom with a Toy Story and Cowboy theme?

*

Turquoise and orange is a fresh color combination, but these both have black in them, which tones the colors down a lot.

The wall color is Sherwin-Williams Reflecting Pool.

*

Behind this wall is a bathroom shared between this room and the lilac guest bedroom.

So what do you think, is this your dream home? Are you entering the sweepstakes?

Kishani, one of my favorite designers, is in fact a good friend of our actress, and is behind Molly’s Hollywood Hills home, so let’s take a look:

(you can click the pics to see full size on Luxist)

*

Molly has a white house with beautiful black details. I really like the larger-than-life potted trees, very simple and dramatic.

*

This is Molly’s dining room. Like the facade, the walls are white and the floors and trim is black. The blue velvet dining chairs looks super soft and comfy.

*

On the other side of the fireplace wall is a living area.  Let us take a closer look:

*

Gray sofas with purple throw pillows and a glass chandelier to add a bit of glamour.

*

The kitchen is white with marble counter tops and brushed steel kitchen appliances.

*

I love how the glassware is arranged by color in the cabinet.

*

Isn’t this little girls room adorable?

*

This is definitely a room to grow up in.

*

This I presume is the master bedroom. It is  seafoam green and white, with a huge bed with nailhead trim. Love the pops of color brought in by the purple lampshades. This room was later painted a deep grey, which, according to Kishani “complrtely transformed the vibe of the space from beachy to moody”.

See the result on Kishani’s blog here.

*

The bathroom is white too.

*

Here is the second living room, with a flatscreen TV.

*

Last but not least is Molly’s home office. I have posted some images of this room before on this website, and here are some more:

*

The wall seems a lot more purple in these photos.

Here is the same office, revamped for a photo shoot for Molly Sims’ jewelry line.

And here is the beautiful actress in her equally beautiful home!

I fell in love with this bedroom, but sadly I could not find more pictures of it. The walls looks to be a fresh apple green with cream white.. well, everything else. Beautiful!

Green living room with a botanical vibe. I love how the candle holders are placed at different height among the plant pictures. Very unexpected!

These beautiful botanical prints are available at Botanical Style.

*

Did you make a herbarium when you were a child? We used to put flowers and leafs in a book and leave it there til it was dry, then we framed them. It didn’t turn out nearly as pretty as those above, though.

Beautiful beige and green living room. This is so “liveable”!

*

The Christmas tree is decorated with blue ornaments and butterflies. Since that color is not part of the room palette, the tree really stands out. Beautiful!

*

A simple Holiday decoration of green moss and silver ornaments in a wooden bowl. Could not be more simple.

*

Nice home bar furniture with floating shelves over, maximizing storage (and decoration) possibilities.

*

I love the Holiday decoration here, bells on the drawer pulls, white tea candles and green garlands and wreaths with lights.

*

She has such a classic and elegant bedroom. This is the style you find in big mansions, and I absolutely love how it is downsized and simplified for a perfect apartment version.

*

The classic crystal chandelier is the focal point of the room. To maximize the height of the room, the beautiful seafoam green wall color goes all the way up to the ceiling, as well as the curtain valances.

*

A classic area rug frames the bed on beautiful dark hardwood floors. Oh, and the silver candle stick triplet over the bed is one of my favorite features.

*

Fantastic! Wish my bedroom looked like this!

*

Emerald green bedroom with a white bed and brown curtains. The bed is hot! We saw the mirrored stars earlier in this post.

*

A simple bedroom seating area.

*

The attached bathroom has the same color scheme as the bedroom.

*

Love how the “striped” floor adds depth to the room.

Hot bamboo canopy bed in a mint-colored bedroom.

*

Tropical living room. I get an ancient Egyptian vibe from this wallpaper, the way those palm (?) leafs are laid out.

*

Who wouldn’t love to have a suspended hammock-divan in their living room? Robert placed one sofa on each side of the room, a huge coffee table in the middle, and a small wooden coffee table in front of each sofa.

*

The dining room walls are decorated with red and gold fabrics. Check out that dining table! I think it has little wheels too.

*

The foyer has a gorgeous bamboo wallpaper and a Chinese cabinet. I love how all the rooms are decorated with huge green leafs!

*
