- Hey AD, it's Tommy and D.
- Welcome to Palm beach.
Come on in.
[upbeat music]
This is our outdoor courtyard, and I absolutely fell in love
with the house when I walked in and I saw this courtyard.
All the coral stone and the beautiful arches.
And as you can see, we have an outdoor fireplace.
We decorated out here with a lot of blue and white,
blue is my favorite color.
- And mine too.
- And also Tommy's.
And our decorator and friend Martin Lawrence Bullard
also likes blue.
So we loved these pops of blue accents outdoors
with all the green.
And a lot of the foliage was already here, thankfully.
So we really did not have to add anything at-
- It needed some TLC.
It needed to be cared for.
We gave it some love.
And now with the weather and a little bit
of few showers here and there it blossoms.
- That's one of the things that really drew me to this house
was all the indoor outdoor spaces.
And we do spend a lot of time outdoors.
- I like living on the water.
We have a dock, we have jet skis.
It's a whole different type of lifestyle,
especially coming from New York and the Northeast.
[upbeat music]
We're in the living room designed by Martin Lawrence Bullard
who created objects like the table, his fabrics.
- All the coral stone and this fireplace
was all part of the house.
We thought it was just so beautiful.
One of the fun pieces that we brought from another house
was this piece above the fireplace.
And I would say that is my daily affirmation every morning.
The pecky cypress on the ceiling was original to the home,
but we decided to lighten it up
to just to give the house a fresher, more modern feeling.
- It was pretty dark and heavy.
So we wanted to lighten it with the walls.
It still has a Bohemian vibe, but it's modern and clean.
- The light fixtures are actually like pieces of art.
Tommy and I have loved collecting art for a very long time.
So these light fixtures were not here when we moved in,
they are Giacometti and part of our love and adoration
for art in the 21st century.
This area right here serves us as our,
sometimes it's our family office,
sometimes it's our cocktail area.
I'd say it's all purpose.
We've-
- It's pretty cozy.
- It's pretty cozy, yeah. - We like the coziness of it.
But I like sitting here looking out at the water.
- This table, it is black lacker with faux ivory inlay.
And it is a piece that was inspired by a Spanish castle,
I believe.
- It's a modern classic again,
but it has a bit of a deco vibe.
If you look at the feet,
we love the fact that it's modern and classic.
[upbeat music]
- I really love this room.
It has a very sort of Moroccan vibe.
We have these beautiful Syrian tables here
and all these fabrics.
I love the mix of the fabrics and the colors.
These were all fabrics from Martin Lawrence Bullard.
I find this room just warm and welcoming.
And I feel like today comfort is true luxury.
We feel very, very blessed
and lucky to be able to enjoy such a gorgeous spot.
- But I love the touches of khaki and all of green piping.
It's a little safari-esque in my mind
and I love the French rope work on the stools.
But again, it's the mix of Syrian, Moroccan, French.
It really is a mix of modern and classic modern vintage.
I would say inspiration from different parts of the world.
And we are detail obsessed, so we're continually
looking at ways to improve our homes through detail.
[upbeat music]
- This is the dining room.
And what is really beautiful, I think
is that we have open space between our dining room
and living areas separated
by these beautiful coral stone columns.
And again, we did it light, modern, simple,
with a few collected pieces.
- I like the touches of bamboo also,
because it reminds me being in the tropics
and being able to live the indoor outdoor lifestyle
with a lot of plants.
The chairs are vintage 1940,
the wood on the chairs and the table
is bleached French Oak.
Again, light and bright.
- Again, I'd say that this is used duly
as a dining room and an office.
- This is our dining/conference room.
So if we have meetings, we actually sit here.
[upbeat music]
- This is our foyer, which is really the link
between all the rooms in the house.
We have the outdoors here to the left.
We have the dining room to our right,
our living room
and everyone has to cross here at some point.
I love that it's open and airy
and these beautiful coral stone columns
are such a gorgeous detail.
We had all these light fixtures
that were custom made for us in Spain.
And if you follow through here,
you can see that the stone leads upstairs
to the landing where we have those beautiful arch windows.
And it was quite dark, as Tommy said before
when we bought it and it was quite,
I would say overfurnished.
And when we took out all of that
and painted everything light colored,
I feel like all those beautiful details of the home
actually came out more.
- Living with this stone is for me, very traditional
because it's very Mediterranean,
but I'm obsessed with the columns and the detail.
[upbeat music]
So this is a gallery or hallway leading to other bedrooms,
also leading to the outdoor courtyard.
And this collection of photographs was originally
in the dining bar room of the Raleigh hotel in Miami
which we owned for a while.
- There's good ones. - All sorts
of different characters.
- Yeah, there's some really good ones.
It's fun.
- From Andy Warhol, to Jackie Kennedy, to Carl Lagerfeld.
A lot of very, I would say-
- Clark Gable?
- Iconic photographs.
[upbeat music]
- This is our indoor family room.
There are TVs behind the wooden cabinets over there.
I love this room.
It's a really cozy, warm, inviting room.
And I love all the books.
And we'd been known to watch a few football games in here.
[upbeat music]
This is our kitchen, which we decided to paint white.
Previously, this kitchen was all dark wood,
very dark wood, like a dark cherry wood.
- It was dark brown.
- Dark brown.
- And the countertops were butter scotch.
- We decided to make everything light and clean.
We pulled up the countertops and replaced the marble.
But other than that,
we really did not do that much in this kitchen.
It's incredible what one can do with a can white paint.
- [Tommy] And we changed the fixtures,
because they were like a bronzey gold
and we thought nickel would be much more appealing
and much more modern.
- Just white paint and new fixtures.
- Some tweaks.
- Little tweaks.
This is a great space because this is super convenient,
because the grill is just out here around the corner.
So it's literally backed up against the kitchen.
So you barely have to even move to go grill.
And we use it a lot.
[upbeat music]
So we move from the kitchen into
sort of the sitting, eating area.
And I love that these arches sort of separate the area,
but again, we're separated but open.
And blue and white, we love blue and white.
And so we-
- We like blue and white too.
- And we have this little bar area
which is kind of convenient for when my son
is eating cereal in the morning or just to hang out.
And I absolutely love this room.
It's so cozy again, fireplaces. I love my fireplaces.
- We like the mix of bamboo with the wicker,
with the [indistinct] wood.
When we have a family meal,
either lunches or I would say casual dinners,
we eat here and use the lazy Susan.
[upbeat music]
- So we have many outdoor spaces in this home
and many outdoor terraces.
This is our upstairs terrace.
And this is probably one of my favorites,
because again, we have this gorgeous fireplace,
which I love to put it on in the evening.
And we sometimes lie out here on this day bed
and have cocktails or just relax.
It's right off my principle bath.
And I love the Spanish tiles on the floor.
And I love the Quadra foils
that are along the banister here.
It also has just a stunning view out here.
And at nighttime, the sun sets right over there.
And when the lights come on,
it's just really, really stunning.
[upbeat music]
Okay, so now I'm gonna take you
in my absolute favorite, favorite part of the house.
This is what I call our outdoor family room.
And we spend most of our time out here.
- When we can sit out here, look at the water,
have a cocktail, have friends over
and basically dream about being on vacation,
because it seems like we're on vacation
when we're out here.
At night, the buildings twinkle,
the sunset is right here every night at 5:30, 6 o'clock,
but it's comfortable and relaxing.
That's the main thing.
My son and I took the jet skis up about a mile from here.
And we saw manatees
and they have like a migration of manatees.
And fortunately there are police boats around
slowing other boats and jet skis.
- Actually, I do think that there are a lot more things
in that water besides-
- Oh, we see things jumping out of the water all the time.
- Yeah, there is a lot more than the manatees.
I think there's some more nefarious creatures.
- And sometimes we see a fin.
- Actually, this is what the original ceilings
looked like throughout the home.
They were this color and-
- We thought outdoors
this would be good to leave the way it was.
- Yeah.
This is our really best place to have
a cocktail at around five o'clock and enjoy.
[couple laughing]
Sometimes 4:30 and enjoy the sunset.
[upbeat music]
This is our pool area.
- This was all grass all the way around.
So we decided to put the coral stone down
to give ourselves sort of a walkway and a patio.
- All the outdoor lighting was here
and they're all Spanish inspired.
And which I think works perfectly with the home,
because the home is a very Spanish style Mediterranean.
And so we were lucky that we did not have to go find these.
I actually really love all of the outdoor light fixtures.
And it's really like a beautiful, magical, romantic setting.
Have you swam in this pool yet?
- I haven't.
- I swam in it one time.
- Our son swims in it just about every day.
- Yeah. I think you need to get in.
- I like to be on top of the water.
Jet ski or boating.
[upbeat music]
- Hey AD, Thanks for stopping by.
Sorry, but we've gotta go right now.
- Wanna go paddle boarding?
- Let's do it.
- We're going paddle boarding.
Thank you.
