Actor Courteney Cox's Malibu home was recently featured in Elle Decor magazine
and I practically drooled on the pages, of course the stupendous view of the Pacific
ocean didn't help my situation!
Having spent many a frustrated day at her beach home in Malibu and in plain view
of the paparazzi and fans, she was itching to get away from curious eyes and headed
for the hills. Can't say I blame her!
Above this sitting area is right off the kitchen. Crisp white with warm grey's is the mostly neutral palette of the Malibu residence.
In the sitting area, the overhead lamp is huge and vintage to boot!
Oddball, tongue in cheek artwork poking fun at the Pink Panther Detective Clouseau.
Paintings by Harland Miller.
All white kitchen with flagstaff flooring, and what a sight! Those glossy
Caesarstone counter tops are my huge envy.
Caesarstone counter tops are my huge envy.
Flagstone flooring also adorns the pool room, the artwork is by Arsen Roj.
The pool table and metal floor lamp are also custom made.
Love the overhead lighting!
In the 'tennis house' - vintage leather chair, and a poured-concrete floor. If you're wondering
"what is a tennis-house?", as I did, it is a building set near the tennis courts to allow for
refreshments and respite from the game.
The master bedroom above, has sweeping view of the Pacific as well (not shown), sleek lined custom made bed is flanked by selenite bedside tables.
In the master bedroom’s sitting area a custom-made daybed.
The bathroom above (it took me a while to figure that out!), boasts a long trough sink.
The chair and ottoman , upholstered in blue-grey velvet is paired with a muted rug.
The artwork was completed by Courteney's father, when he was in high school.
The outdoor fireplace, teak and steel laval rock fire pit, is added feature.
A round concrete table from Cox’s previous home is paired appropriately with immoveable concrete stools from Lebanon.
My favourite seating area - with bean bag lounger. If you've never sat in a bean bag chair
(where have you been?) you have no idea what you've been missing!

Who needs a 'room' with a view, when you have this in your backyard?
The room becomes superfluous.

Dinner Al Fresco, anyone?
