[door opens]
- Hey, AD!
- Well, hello.
[laughter]
- Welcome to our home. Come on in!
- Come in.
[upbeat music]
[camera clicks]
- We moved into this house two years ago.
This is kind of where we do a lot of our reading
and hanging with our friends and
- I nap on there pretty often.
- [Emmy] Yeah.
- [Daveed] On this yellow couch.
[laughter]
- And this is Luna's favorite room. This is Luna.
- Oh yeah, I don't know if you can see her.
- This is like the fuzziest rug, so, she's always in here.
If you can't find her, she's always in here somewhere.
[upbeat music]
- The way this is mostly gonna work is I'll probably
like throw in occasional details about things
but Emmy did this whole house
- That's not true, not true. That's not true!
- So I have very little, she's very kind about giving
me input but, like, it's perfect. I don't know,
it's so dope. But all of these baskets, for so much
of the last couple of years, Emmy would just come home
from somewhere with a handful of baskets. And then
a couple minutes later I'd see her up on a ladder
just rearranging all the ones she had there so that
she could then hang the new ones.
- Add more baskets to my basket collection.
I think now I've kind of run out of room.
So I think it's time for me to stop buying baskets
- We're done. Or we'll start another...
- I say that now and I'll come home with a basket tomorrow.
- This is funny also, and gross.
Photographs of yourself, kissing, in your living room.
- Just in case you didn't know whose house you were in.
Right when you walk in the front door,
this is who lives here.
- That's a fake fireplace. It's real, it turns on,
- It's not.
- it's gas. It just doesn't, it's not very good.
- We haven't really figured it out yet.
- Come see the rest of the house,
it's much more impressive.
[upbeat music]
- [Emmy] This is actually one of my favorite pieces
in the house. Um, this is actually an article that
was written by my Dad and he was nominated for a Pulitzer.
They've traveled the world with me in almost every apartment
that I've ever moved into. Greg Lampman, he's great.
I will let him talk about this.
This is his sanctuary, if you will.
- You really have to. So this was an incredible surprise.
Almost every house we looked at had some exposed
wine cellar.
- [Emmy] Yup.
- [Daveed] And we don't drink very much wine, so it
never made any sense but it was a cool space under
the stairs and I came home one day and Emmy had
converted it into this record room. Had all these
custom-built shelves and put up all of this
great artwork. I spend most of my time in here,
looking through all the things that I already
know I have just because I like looking at them.
And then eventually I'll pull something out
and play it, but it's the best.
[upbeat music]
- This is our lovely dining room. Fun fact, when we moved
into this house, before anything else had moved,
these chairs showed up. So for, really, for about
four days the only piece of furniture in this house
were these green chairs. So we ate on them,
we watched TV on them. We've only really eaten
in here...
- That was the last time we used these chairs
- That is not true!
- with all the rest... No! We had the Thanksgiving in here
- We ate here, well we had Thanksgiving dinner
our first Thanksgiving here and I think we fit
14 people around this table. For our Friends giving,
it was definitely a Friends giving.
Come on to the living room now.
[upbeat music]
- [Daveed] We do in fact, spend all our time here.
- [Emmy] Yes. This is...
- This is how you have to enter the couch.
- This is [laughter]
- I love this couch.
- [Emmy] This couch actually was a huge part
of making this living room feel lived in.
You know, I spent, and we both spent a lot of time
in New York and, you know, the concept of a couch
is wild. Uh, so I think we both wanted a couch
that 15 people could fit on and you could also
fall asleep on it and it was cozy and felt lived-in.
Um, so we definitely spend, you know, almost, especially
now these days, a lot of time on this couch.
My favorite part of this room though is this ottoman.
It actually is a custom ottoman that we had made from
a rug that his mother gave us when she came back from Peru.
We couldn't find a place for it in the house and then
we were trying to figure out the right fabric for
this ottoman and I told Mandy, our designer,
I was like, "Wait a minute, I have this rug that
Daveed's Mom gave us, would it be weird if
we tried to turn that into the ottoman?"
And so now it's, you know, it's like such a huge
centerpiece for this living room and I love it
so much and it just reminds me of her
every time we're in here. I love it.
[upbeat music]
- Are you ready?
- I believe in you?
- This is my, 'cause it's my, I can actually
take credit for this contribution to the house.
- One hundred percent.
- This wallpaper is the one decision I made. So,
[laughter]
- [Daveed] This is actually designed by, uh,
Matt Ritchie and Jorma Taccone of The Lonely Island,
who's a fellow Berkeley High School graduate.
It's got just a whole bunch of inside baseball
references to the Bay Area. Mac Dre, E-40, Dennis Richmond.
My favorite one is Dennis Richmond, who was
a News Anchor. Local Channel 2 News Anchor.
You really have to be essentially my age
and from the Bay Area to know who that is.
It's a deep cut.
Alice Waters is on there, Too $hort is on there,
Joe Montana is on there. It's a super Bay-specific
wallpaper. And it also apparently looks good in
a powder room.
- [Emmy] Everybody that comes to our house,
at one point or another, uses this room and so every
time, every single person comes out and says
'Yo, that wallpaper.' I'm like, it was him.
- Everybody likes it.
[upbeat music]
- One of the biggest projects and kind of one
of the only rooms that we renovated in the home.
There was a very different kitchen here originally
and the reason we never eat in the dining room
is because everybody ends up here. And it was
kind of the one room of the house that I didn't love.
It was all white. It was all marble. And it had, like,
upper cabinets and we took all those down and had these
amazing brass shelves installed and we painted
the lowers green. But I think the end result is
amazing and it's such a focal point of the house
artistically, but I also think just everybody
walks straight in the front door and into this room
and pulls out a chair and sits down and we sit here
for hours. We did the other night. But yeah, this is
one hundred percent the heart of this home,
just fits in perfectly now.
- It's close to the bar also, which is important.
- Oh yeah, we did make a bar, this used to be a desk.
- [Daveed] Bar proximity.
- [Emmy] That we didn't use, so we turned it
into a bar, which we use a lot.
[upbeat music]
- Let's go upstairs! Oh! I forgot about this.
[Laughter]
- You, this is all you.
- [Daveed] This is a big old punch card clock
from, like, the late nineteenth century, I think,
but then Emmy's brilliant idea was...
- Yes. This is, um, so we didn't know what to put here
so I found actual punch cards and now, when we
have friends come to visit, they sign a punch card
and it's just an amazing reminder we've got
amazing friends and family and just so grateful
for them.
- Before you go upstairs, just take a look in here
right quick. This was Emmy's quarantine project.
This is not wallpaper, she spent several days on a ladder,
hand painting each of these little black hash marks
- I mean, I had the time
[laughter]
- She did. I thought it was crazy until it was done
and now I think it's totally beautiful.
We also spend a ton of time here. I've been.
- Yeah.
- It's actually such a functional room, I do
so much writing in here.
- This is actually one of my favorite features of
the house, is the runner on these stairs.
We decided to get a bunch of rugs and have them all
fused together to make one long runner that's, like,
totally unique to us and different and also the stairs
are the first thing you see when you walk
in the front door, so it just kind of introduces
us and our style to you.
- Sets a tone.
- You can't miss it.
[laughter]
- [Emmy] Can't miss it. And these are recycled coffee
bags. There's a lot of conversations about what we were
going to do on this wall because it's so huge
and it is, you know, there's just a lot of open space.
And we ran through a ton of ideas and couldn't really
figure out what to do and then I was in London
and I was at a flea market with a friend
and there was a vendor who only sold coffee bags.
And they were all, you know, obviously they're all
different and unique and it's like a huge part of this
front entrance and I just, I love it so much.
And the funny story is, after I came back, we went to
our local coffee shop to get coffee and I,
we needed one more. I bought five, but it wasn't enough.
So I asked the girl, I was like "Hey, do you guys happen
to have any coffee bags in the back?"
And she was like, "Oh! Let me go check."
And she ran in the back and brought out this one
and opened it up and right on the front
it said, "Oakland."
- [Daveed] That was a little bit of magic,
finding an Oakland coffee bag,
- Yeah.
- Can you tell Oakland's an important factor
in my life?
[laughter]
[upbeat music]
- [Emmy] Welcome to our designated press room.
[laughter]
- If you have seen either of us in an interview,
in the past two months, it has been in this room.
This was supposed to be an accent wall wallpaper
and, clearly that wasn't enough for me and so
we did the whole room.
This is actually Barbara's room.
This is Daveed's Mom's room.
- Yeah, yeah, my Mom calls this her room, in fact
every time it has showed up on TV in the last couple
of months, she's been like you're in my room again.
[laughter]
- It's the perfect size for her. It's the perfect size.
This is our other guest room. We call this the blue room.
Has a very beachy, soothing feel to it.
A lot of friends have stayed in this room.
This room has kind of been home for a lot of our friends
and I think, you know, that's why we bought this house
and have made it so homey. And also the macrame,
not to like boast, but the macrame over the bed,
I made.
[laughter]
- [Daveed] It's another Emmy Raver original.
- [Emmy] Uh, you know, 'cause we got time, so.
[laughter]
- I like a craft, what can I say?
[laughter]
[upbeat music]
- [Daveed] Moving on.
- [Emmy] Now, our room!
- This is where it all goes down,
you know what I'm saying.
[laughter]
- Shut up!
- This is where it all happens,
- Okay, he's no longer allowed to be part of this tour,
get out.
- I mean that she goes to sleep and
I eat cookies on the floor.
- Yes! I go to bed at a sensible hour, nine.
And then he stays up until three in the morning
eating cookies.
- But I learned to do it on the floor,
so I don't leave evidence in the bed.
- I know every day that he's been mousing about
in the middle of the night. Every day.
This is our amazing bed that I completely
fell in love with. The first time in my life
I've ever had a King bed, but I think obviously
our favorite part of this room is that the Obamas
sitting on sandwiches is the art that we have chosen
for our bedside tables. Because, why wouldn't you
want the Obamas sitting on sandwiches?
Check out celebrities on sandwiches on Instagram
and you could have your very own Barack
sitting on a tuna melt.
This is actually another outtake from, um,
Joanna DeGeneres' photo shoot that she did of us
that's downstairs as well. Um, she was like
"I love that you didn't like any of the actual
photos I took and only wanted the outtakes."
[laughter]
I think that's 'cause we can't take ourselves seriously
so I love that photo. It makes me really happy.
- These chairs are pretty new too. We love that they
are all different. You don't, sort of, know what
you're gonna get when you order them. They just ship.
- No two are the same and so I was hoping they were
going to be very, very different and they are.
And they're also so cozy.
And this is a good reading moment.
This is, I think, also where he may or may not
snack while I'm asleep, maybe.
[laughter]
- It's possible.
[upbeat music]
- Welcome to the backyard.
[laughter]
Did you miss us?
- It's his favorite spot.
- This is a long trip from upstairs.
- It's his and Luna's favorite spot.
- [Daveed] This is mostly where I am.
I'm only wearing clothes because you're here,
generally speaking, I'm just in my bathing suit,
floating around in the water.
- Straight out of bed into his swim trunks, into the pool.
We spend so much time out here.
The little breakfast nooky moment, suntanning,
that's actually a perfect spot for naps,
is the cabana over there. Um, you can find
Daveed over there at least once a day.
- Pretty often.
- Just, I'm just pointing out all of his napping spots
I think that's pretty much what he does in this house.
- It's a little bit, I nap. I nap a lot.
- He naps a lot.
This actually was a project we took on with Mandy as well.
This entire backyard used to be grass
and it just was a space that we didn't really use.
Uh, and so we kind of wanted to create an oasis
and kind of a way to use the entire space
and so we decided to build this deck
and an amazing fire pit that we are at constantly
and I don't think you're suppose to make marshmallows
on a fire pit, but we do.
- Turns out it works.
[upbeat music]
- AD!
- I gotta take another nap, you've taken up enough of my
very busy schedule. I gotta go lie down.
- Thank you, guys, have a good day!
- Bye. Say bye, Luna.
- Bye.
