I did a follow up video on celebrity house size AND which ones I really liked: ua-cam.com/video/vWyMJbAmArk/v-deo.html
The "we bought three barns made by the amish and then shipped over those barns for the wood" is a new level of unhinged
it's called salvaged wood....barns that are failing will be salvaged for the timber to be repurposed in new builds...look up Barnyard Builders as one source for how it's done.
@@AB-ol5uzI personally work with nearly all recycled materials; it’s usually free and has a story
Nobody should be buying anything from those animal abusers.
@@toecutterjones Amish people aren’t inherently abusive to animals; just like non Amish people it depends on if they are a shitty person
Amish do not protect their women enough from SA and often fell women in their community who experienced SA that in one way or another it’s their fault they were SA or if they become SA. If Amish men want to be good leaders, they should also be good protectors.
The mashup of people saying "Hi, AD" is brilliant. Each one comes off as more psychotic than the last and all of them seem high on their own farts.
The spooky music was a beautiful addition and made it all the more unhinged. Also... thank you for the "high on their own farts" part of your comment. Made me laugh so hard thinking of them wafting their farts and basking in their own ambience. 😂
i was about to say this hahahahaha
I'm German, and all I keep hearing is "Heidi!... Heidi!... Heidi!"
@@annamo9354I was thinking the same thing.... but I thought it was because my name is Heidi
Hahaha! I’m with you on that last sentence
😂 My mom's Sims houses always took up the entire lot - the poor sims were always peeing their pants and passing out on their way to the kitchen. They all lost their jobs because they could never make it to the door in time before the carpool took off. They were literally dying for a bag of chips. I'm always reminded of this on AD house tours of obnoxiously large houses.
Having your Sims die because the house is too big is such a power move. Much more than simply removing the swimming pool steps while they're having a swim.
That moment when you used the money cheat to make a giant house, run out of stuff to add hakfway through, invent a bunch of unnecesarry rooms just to fill the space and then notice you forgot to add the bathroom
@@sentosacoLol! She eventually learned the motherlode cheat, so her sims became incredibly wealth and deeply unhappy. For some time the vibe was very much: "let them eat cake (if they can get to the fridge before dying)"
I did this. Is your mom a millenial? Sims being miserable in huge houses is the way we feel better about not being able to buy our own 😂
I love this thread ❤
This is the investigative journalism my life has been missing. Thank you.
Really?
😂
I suspect the biggest lie in Open Door is the way so many celebrities pretend they were meticulously involved in the design of their homes. I'm sure a few of them were, but I'm also sure most of them had nothing to do with how their homes look or are furnished aside from picking the interior designer and signing the check.
Agreed. And there's too little continuity from room to room, such that each room resembles a showroom of the decorator's favorite item-combos tailored to room function, rather than part of a larger whole reflecting the residents' lifestyle. With the result that the homes appear barely lived in.
Q😊❤❤
Personally if I were ever in a position where AD were looking at my place, I'd have the craftsmen who actually did the work there with me so I could say things like "you like that custom stair handrail? THIS is the artist who did it!"
@@LA2047 100%! Many celebrities drop the name of 'their' interior designer, but that's like crediting a director for the entirety of a movie. Those artisans should be featured. Also, there should be a focus on actual homes in which people genuinely live.
@@PeachPlastic that might be hard for a lot of celebrities, since a lot of them have multiple homes but still manage to spend a huge chunk of their year in hotels because they travel so much to work and vacation. Their homes look like they aren't lived in because a lot of the time, they really aren't.
how many barns in wisconsin had to die for celebrity homes?
😂😂😂😂
has anyone checked if there's any left??
I can confirm that there are not a massive number of old barns remaining here 😂
I think that's good recycling, I mean they can afford to chop down a tree but they choose to reuse old wood
that line about the Amish barns honestly sounds like a skit
The best part of not having TikTok is that I get to hear UA-camr talk about things I had no idea existed for 20+ minutes. Great video, btw!
AD is also a UA-cam channel?
Knowing that Ashley tisdale is a house flipper adds an extra layer of info on her house tour where she said that she heard ad was coming and told her husband to go buy literally 400 books to fill their bookshelves because she didn’t want them to be empty for the video
I appreciated her honesty though.
The most bizarre AD Open Door video I've watched is the one where Naomi Campbell pretended to be giving a tour of her house in Kenya, when it was in fact a hotel she had no shares in and where she had only been staying in as a guest for a couple of weeks. Peak disingenuous AD feature haha.
I watched that and genuinely thought it was her home!
Wtf… I thought it was 😂 she literally was acting like she owned a place where her friends could chill at and escape. Kinda like how Richard Branson’s island is
Whaaaaat
@@meejay100 Yeah, it's a hotel called Lion in the Sun owned solely by Italian mogul Flavio Briatore. All the rooms can be booked on Trip Advisor, including "hers", and the prices are actually quite good. She was hired by the Kenyan government to promote tourism in Kenya so she was just there for a couple of months to do that, as documented by Business Daily Africa and other Kenyan publications. That was only her third trip to Kenya ever, she never moved there. It's funny that she thought noone would notice the room numbers, hydrogel stations, no smoking signs, breakfast buffés, hotel lobby etc. Or that noone who actually stayed there as hotel guests or reads African magazines would say anything lol.
@@thirstaefortae5057 Yeah that actually really pissed me off. She totally played everyone (except for AD who obviously knew but still went along with it). She was hired to promote the hotel and local tourism, and instead pretended it was her home for her own clout. How are people going to book trips there if she does that and they don't know it's on Trip Advisor? She's such a fraud. Also the way she pretended to promote local artists when all the art on the wall was factory-made lol. She couldn't even do the local art scene a solid and place some actual art on the wall for the shooting. Sigh.
My boyfriend works for an independent bookstore in nyc. One of their clients is an interior designer who buys books by the foot for staging, and has said that many celebrities he stages for don’t have any books in their houses at all…
No doubt one of the staging books is "Tom Ford".
That's fucking stupid, and frankly an insult to literature and bookselling.
I read a satirical story about a guy who sold fake book shelves to rich people, specifically choosing each book to suit the image they want to give off to visitors and even adding fake signs of usage and - for extra charge - notes and highlighted sections to really make them seems intellectual and well read.
I kept thinking the story seems to be pretty close too reality, now I got confirmation
Indeed😂
Gasp nooo !
“When housing only becomes an asset it removes it from the living” great quote ❤❤❤
I used to live with a model sharehousing who was a minor TV personality for new music. A young women's magazine was doing a photo shoot of various women like this with a "whats in my room" single page spread. The thing was, she was actually super frugal and a long term thinker with her money so her room was small just with some second hand stuff. The photo shoot location ended up being borrowed from another house mate who had the loft which looked cooler and the magazine brought things like surfboards even though she could barely swim. Apart from the BS of it all, there was something sad about the fact that she was a successful young women in control of her life who could be a great role model for others, but the magazine just reduced her to mere artifice.
Wooooooow
The one lemon on a stack of plates killed me. I love the connections you made between all of them and their weird attempts to seem unique and down to earth. It's so interesting when they pretend they "collaborate" with the designers, "we" like they didn't just throw money at someone to design them a personality. The "special wood" was absolute comedy.
One Lemon 😁.She cracked me up..she was like and yea we are going to sit down and share "One Lemon"😩😒 The sarcasm 😂
Same. Literally lol’d 😂
Well, working with an interior designer is pretty collaborative I think. No doubt there are super rich people who just want to pay someone and have the job done. But most people want to give input on how their house should look. Being financially able to create your dreamhouse must be one of the best parts of wealth. The reason for hiring an interior designer is that they are educated on it and know how to tie specific wishes into an harmonious overall appearance. And I do think that you can tell things about the personalities of the celebs that work with AD based on their houses. Cara Delevingne‘s house wouldn’t fit the aesthetic of Kendall Jenner for example and vice versa.
In defense of “special wood”, I’ll say that I’ve met a number of non-wealthy people who have some kind of special wood object. Usually it’s a piece of furniture or a knickknack or some kind of heirloom-and not, say, a BATHTUB-but I think that’s pretty common in human psychology, at least in the west. The idea of heirloom or legacy materials fashioned into a possession seems to turn up a bit in myth as well. It gives a decent but otherwise somewhat unremarkable object a sense of history and, well, specialness.
But yes, buying three Amish barns just to strip the wood for a house you plan to flip is crass and pretty psychotic.
"Special wood" reclaimed from 100-year-old Amish barns is actually structurally stronger and somewhat priceless. You literally can't buy it new, unless you know someone with a +200-year-old forest - like the French did to source the beams for rebuilding the Notre-Dame.
That barn wood grew for maybe hundreds of years, growing stronger each year, tree ring by tree ring, then got turned into barns and maintained dry and free from pests for a century.
Modern "engineered lumber" is actually just glue and "wood products" - ranging from veneer made from actual wood such lumber will represent to straw.
It's as if the Big Bad Wolf designed the building code.
Lemons and limes are probably a cheap attempt at psychological manipulation of the audience - as it is something clearly instructed by the producers of the show.
You're supposed to see a lemon or lime and like a good Pavlov's dog, your mouth should water and you should associate that with hunger for the visuals being presented.
Salivate, associate, covet.
Sorta like how all those ads for "refreshing drinks" present them as cold and dripping with condensation. Mmmm... moist condensation...
What? You don't covet celebrity lifestyles and homes? But... Lemons. BAD DOG!
Too bad you didn't count the number of times they say that they're ''obsessed'' with something and that they love these ''amazing'' ''french doors'' lol
Whenever I hear “awesome” and “obsessed” I know I’m listening to an idiot With limited vocabulary range
So many people in UA-cam videos are obsessed with things. I know they’re using it more as slang than an actual obsession but it’s annoying, also, this X item elevates your style…sigh.
i am french and i dont even know what’s french windows
OCD gives me plenty of obsessions but they usually arent the fun kind 😂
@@ananalogguyinadigitalworld8382 mdr pareil, jusqu'à ce que je regarde leurs vidéos..
My level of impressed that you collected all of this data is beyond
I love a good spreadsheet, and I wasn't disappointed.
I’m showroom manager for a very high end antiques shop in NYC. whenever an interior designer has a shoot (especially for Architectural Digest) they will borrow or rent pieces from us for that shoot. There was one lower on the rung designer that borrowed so many pieces from us that when the magazine came out we were able to easily deduce that he lives in an empty apartment on 5th Av.
HAHA hilarious comment
That’s crazy! If this comment is real, I can’t imagine the level of self embarrassment when the filming is over and all rented furniture has to be returned. 😭
Was it for Andrew Rea (Binging with Babish) or David Harbour (stranger things)?
gosh what happens if people start seeing the same items crop up x times in different shoots
Also Ashley Tisdale says in her AD tour that their library was all empty shelves and she sent her husband to the bookstore to buy lots and lots of books. so random.
I believe it was a thrift book store though, so i suppose that makes it better
Why have a library if you don’t even read!?
reminds me of Gatsby...
@@hmfodenlmao rich people are weird. Anything for aesthetics lol
@@hmfodenwhat I wouldn’t give for a full room for my books! 😂 my books are spread throughout our house and my husband pressures me to go electronic because it takes up less space. I can’t concentrate as well reading on a screen.
But I’d also like to have the money to just go to the store and fill a room with books at the drop of a hat… can you imagine?!?! Every book you ever wanted or thought you might want to read?! 😮
“Give me a weeks notice, that library will be packed with books I’m interested in and organized like you wouldn’t believe.”
Remember the episode of MTV Cribs where they went to Redman's house and his blinds were broken, he had wall-to-wall carpet, a regular TV, piles of DVDs on the floor and his cousin passed out on the couch? How things have changed lol
He did an interview about that tour and how confused the MTV production team was when they arrived 😂 I love him for going against the flex culture so long ago. Iconic episode.
@@MsMizz1 I absolutely loved that episode! It was real and down to Earth. Iconic indeed.
What is the significance of carpet? I'm lost on that 😅
@@zainabzolita8436 Full wall-to-wall carpeting is too mundane for those featured in AD. Too "common".
@@zainabzolita8436 I think because wall-to-wall carpet is seen as dated (as in many houses had that in the 60s to 80s), so usually celebrities have houses with up-to-date appliances and decoration, and not something "out of fashion" as that kind of carpet.
Incredibly random, but Ariel Fulmer getting a waterfall marble countertop is hilarious given that she installed marble all over the Try Guys office when they first opened and the staff ruined it basically immediately because they didn't use coasters.
"I'll give them a pass for not featuring Antarctica yet"
You are more forgiving than me.
😂😂😂
Just a fun fact about marble countertops:
Marble is very porous and when it gets wet it will warp and discolor it will just soak up water oil and wine really quickly which not only stains but causes bacteria to get into the stone. It’s also a soft stone so it’s easily scratched and much less durable then granite.The reason people use it for countertops isn’t because it’s a good stone for counters but because it’s expensive. For it to be any way usable the marble needs to be treated with a sealer frequently so not only is installation and the stone expensive you also gotta have professionals treat the stone for it to last. Anyway don’t waste your time with a marble countertop just get a faux one if you really want that look
Granite lasts forever.
I’ve had a granite sink for the past 20 years and it’s still as good as new
@@amandak.4246 I find marble to be super ugly tbh. None of those marble kitchens and bathrooms are going to age well.
Seeing footage of Italian mountains cracked and decimated like a pile of old roof tiles so some jacka$$ can have a show-off bathroom and kitchen is quite sickening really
@@emmy8526 Hear hear
Great video! One thing you didn't cover is that AD videos tend to precede divorces. The celebs use the AD video as a literal open house to advertise their home ahead of a divorce. Would have been interesting to see what % of couples split up after their AD open house video.
😮
Ricky martin!
Which couples are you talking about
That's insane lol
Preclude is prevent. What you mean is they are preludes to divorce.
Also they need those vast open spaces to house their egos.
For me, Bretman has the most authentic one. We can see his house in his IG stories and how he uses his furnitures and why he chose a particular piece of art in his home. It's actually quite chaotic hahaha every room has its own personality.
Troye and Bretman may be 2 of my favorite celebrity homes
Fr.
Troye's house had a life in it...and like everyone else his bathroom caught my eye. As for Bretman if he ever invites me to his house I'm never leaving...I'll wash the dishes , do the laundry and do every single chore but please keep me.
I thought you wrote Batman 😭
8:57 "share one lemon" omg the dryness of that comment hahaahahahahahaa made me lol so hard
This is exactly the context I crave.
Same!!
context? don't you mean content?
Content with context?
This should be a massive genre of content on the internet. The world needs this. But she'll be deplatformed for being a conspiracy theorist before they deplatform all the disgusting liars in this world.
Context or Content?
So Robert Downey Jr. presented his home as cribs and changed the entire trajectory of the series.
It was more Grey Gardens
Like he changed the trajectory of superhero movies... Robert Downey Jr. has a lot of power in our society, I mean... super impressive
I was just thinking that 😅
the tangent about the size of houses in the sims is so real. i remember building houses in the sims 2 as a kid and i always made them massive, filling the entire lot, with very little furniture. one particular house i remember building that made me stop trying to build them from scratch and instead just try to edit existing houses lol was a massive square block with three floors (the middle floor basically empty with only staircases) and a big all-blue bedroom with no windows that had a double bed on one wall and a small aquarium on the other
building in the sims 4 now as an adult always has me intentionally make rooms just a smidge smaller than they need to be because fighting the floorplan to place furniture the way you want is the most realistic touch i can add to my game lol
I had to pause the video just to say that I wholeheartedly appreciate your use of "bop to the top" while discussing Ashley Tisdale 😂
I liked watching RDJ fretting over his cats getting out, because it’s nice to know that even Iron Man is gonna end up doing that awkward little half-crouch half-run thing when he sees his cat beelining for an open door lol
i feel like maybe the reason so manny sell soon after is because some celebrities might not feel comfortable showing their entire home until they know they won’t be living there anymore
Very true
Makes sense.
Then why bother showing us their homes
Isnt it safety first
@@lindao.ezenwammadu7056 AD features jack up house value, so they get to sell theirs for a higher prize
It is to sell the house for higher price ,this is just an AD ,all of those are ads,some of the houses showing on show are not even their houses ,they are just promoting them
The funniest part about the bowls of only one fruit in so many places is that I would absolutely have a bowl of only citrus (6 limes, 24 lemons, 2 oranges ofc) literally all of the time if I could bc I love citrus, I love making lemonade and mojitos and all that jazz, but even I, lover of the lime, don't keep bowls of fruit out lmao
Being carni
I only have citrus in my bowls as I use to flavor water
My kids eat most the oranges lol
Small bowls, citrus doesn’t keep well outside of fridge!
Hmm it’s not strange in my family. We always keep a bowl of different fruit like pomegranate, bananas, apples. And because I love citrus in my food I keep lots of lemons and limes in my kitchen.
Growing up my mom stressed the importance of always having cheese bread and fruit available
@@nicofelie I live with a partner who can't eat raw produce, so if I flavor water, make lemonade, or just want to eat fruit then I'm the only one eating it. I used to keep a bowl more often, but it wasn't really working out because I didn't eat the amount I bought before it went bad
@@cass6020 fair enough, the last thing anyone wants is a bowl of rotting fruit lol! I’m not much of a fruit person to begin with but I go through enough lemons to always need some on hand hahaha! I guess I just wanted to mention my experience so that it doesn’t seem like it’s some fake kitchen decor item for everyone
the spreadsheet, the jokes, the pitch perfect socio economic commentary? i love this 🫶🏾
I feel like everyone always comments something along the lines of « wow finally a celebrity that actually looks like he lives in a real home, so unlike the other Hollywood stars’ who have perfectly staged homes » in every AD open door video
Yes! The comment sections on those videos are SO copy-paste 😆
So unique! Gorgeous style! Love the kitchen! You’re so creative!
Exactly what I had been saying! I was making fun of this same thing w/my friends. It's like, 'how can ea one be unique when everyone always complains about how ea one is so copycattish? These foolish hipster kids just copycat ea other to death and that is the death of our culture!
That kind of comment is only applicable to Redman's mtv cribs episode 😂
It's like the homeless chic designs of Balenciaga (?) The designers build in the "rustic" or "worn" aesthetic.
This is possibly the best video I have seen on you tube in a long time, maybe forever. You have a natural affinity for this which should be on tv. Well done!😊
Thank you for your "Hi AD," sacrifice, to remind us that shelter shouldn't be a commodity, but a human right
Anything another person has to provide for you isn't a right. You are saying you have "a right" to enslave other people and take their labor. NO YOU DO NOT.
@@yesterdayseyes okay you no longer have the right to clean water and sanitation or a fair trial then.
@@yesterdayseyesThat’s what taxes are for bucko~
@@yesterdayseyesum no. We have a right to free healthcare where I live and doctors and nurses don't consider themselves slaves. They choose that career and get paid for it.
Housing should be a right as well. Not free of course. Im trying to find a rental right now and its demoralising. There aren't enough places for the amount of people looking. Government needs to do something
@imaterf you clearly have no idea how the world already works If you think the money already being taken from you and being used on nothing but usless crap is going to be stolen from you. They are already stealing your labor, and using it on shit that's unnecessary and not helpful to the citizens
Something odd. I cleaned houses for years and the same ‘types’ had the same things. They never overlapped. So for instance several different cop houses had the same baseboards, and kitchen sinks, but only the cops...and other ‘types’ had other random similar things. But a teacher or banker never had what a cop had and vice versa. Its weird to me. I still wonder about it.
That's pretty interesting. Any other patterns that you noticed and would like to share?
Simulation
More patterns! Yes plz I love this subject
This is very interesting! I'm a firefighter and have noticed this exact thing in the houses of other firefighters and coworkers, but I've never had the forethought to look for these patterns in the homes of other professions. Using Excel is a personal form of pure torture so I'm not going to do it, but someone really should start a spreadsheet on this phenomenon as well! 😮
Oh this is interesting!
Never seen your channel before. Two minutes in and I’m sold.
I really enjoyed this video and thank you for opening the eyes of many. Some of us really need it to stop feeling miserable for not having money when seeing random fake videos as the ones you addressed.
I absolutely LOVED Dita von Teese's home. I mean, she is "guilty" of some of the things mentioned here (endless amounts of citrus fruits!), but my goodness, she has a crazy house. It's filled with treasures and color.
The actual house itself was quite modest in comparison to the other celebrities too which was nice
I liked her home too, it really reflected her as a person.
A taxidermist’s dream 😱
Dita herself is such a treasure 🙏🏻 I love her sm
Dita has always been surprisingly down to earth considering. She still uses L’Oreal foundation and dyes her own hair at home
As a researcher, this is super impressive! You did a full scale content analysis!!
EXACTLY! this was so good!!!!

I am absolutely obsessed with this video and I love your personality!!! The candid bluntness is so comical and I also love the dedication you put into this LOL
Please do this with the old MTV Cribs episodes! The comparisons and different trends would be interesting!
Cringe show chief
Most of those Mcmansions were just show houses, you could tell they were barely lived in.
I remember one episode where the model showed her Covergirl makeup she "couldn't live without" in the smallest drawer in her bathroom. She opened it and it was all brand new makeup. Like her assistant went out and bought it from Walgreens and dumped it in the drawer without unpackaging anything. She was a spokesperson at the time and I'm guessing she was contracted to promote it.
Kirsten Dunst was my favorite because her designer was heavily featured and gave so much context. I also loved how she and Jesse Plemons had such different aesthetic styles and they merged together so well.
That's crazy. Why would you allow someone with a vastly different style to your own, decorate your place. It's so artificial and you make it seem like they are showcasing their people skills. Ludicrous stuff.
I thought her decor was hideous tbh, so random and stuffy, it looked very "grandma" and mishmash.
@@l.m.d.4084 Yeah but she likes it and that's what counts since she has to live there and she actively collaborated with the designer. Too many places on AD look like a museum or display site and don't reflect real living.
Paltrow's place was pretty bad for that, I just cannot stand the pretentiousness. It's like she's allergic to anything mundane or on normal dimensions. Signs of actual occupation are too disruptive.
Also your comment might reflect your own boredom. Put another way, to what extent does AD require heavy statement pieces and drama? I think too often but that's JIMO.
@@deborahcurtis1385w
@@deborahcurtis1385Jesse Plemons is Kirsten Dunst's husband - not the name of the designer.
as someone who’s studying architecture, the sims references was really funny and every time i see one of these huge houses filled with stuff it makes me wonder if they even use their third living room or need all that space ~
As someone who previously owned a house large enough to have two proper indoor sitting areas, we did use both of them depending on the mood or the audience. But the balance was like 70/30 in favor of the room with a better view.
Yeah, they don't necessarily LIVE in all the rooms, but they do use them. My high school friend lived in a house with two living rooms. It also had a fancy dining room, but also a table in the kitchen. So they spent most of their practical, everyday time in the TV living room or at the kitchen table. But if they had lots of guests for dinner they used the dining room. Or if my friend's mom had clients over, they would sit in the nice living room, not in the TV living room where their son watched football and spilled chip crumbs everywhere lol. Do they actually need all those rooms? Probably not. But each one does have a use, even if it only gets used a handful of times per year.
Growing up we had two living rooms, one at the front of the house and another at the back and we only used the one at the back (wich we called the family room) because it was closer to the kitchen, had access to the balcony and had a fireplace, the living room closer to the front door was so neglected my dad nicknamed it "the cold room" because since we never went there we also never bothered to turn the heat on in there
Yes!
@@Reesispiecis GET OUT OF MY STORE JIM. ALWAYS STEALING MY REESISPIECIS.
Honestly the RDJ one is the only tour I've watched through completely, because he just felt like he was being real and authentic in a space that was actually his. And the cats. And also just a crazy house and how he presents it is 100% wonderful.
this was so good, so entertaining, and a seamless transition into the housing discussion! can’t wait to watch more!!
Jensen saying "so unnecessary" is what we were all thinking LOL
19:06 “and when housing is for entertainment or extremely lavish, you might think it’s not for everyone” and then she just kept going like she didn’t just wallop us across the face 😅. oh man what a powerful insight!
The Dakota Johnson one is my favorite cause everything she says could be a lie. That may not even be her house, considering how little she seemed to know about it, lol
Hasn't she moved into Chris Martin's gaff?
I just discovered your channel. Your spreadsheet and determination to watch over 100 AD videos earned my sub. Hopefully it earns you a hell of a lot more ❤
This video was a thing of beauty. Your humour is so on point. “The spreadsheet is both thorough and badly formatted”. This is perfect description of me
I loooove Troye sivan’s home, yes a home not just a house. The fact that he still lives there and shares space with his sister and has posted many snippets of him chilling in his house (on insta stories) and still loving little corners makes me belive he really likes his space.
Yup, Aussies are pretty laid back
His house was for sale a week after the video but was pulled of the market soon after
@@Robertsoerensen78 Interesting. I wonder why they chose not to sell
My house was in AD years ago. And certainly one of the factors in deciding whether to do it was the added value it brings. Wearing the "as seen in Arch Digest" label is a huge plus to the value of any house. I haven't sold my house, but, if I do, being in AD will be in the headline of the listing.
Can I ask what your house cost and what your job is?
@@JacyndaMinor Cost to build or value now?
What it sounds like you did (correct me if I'm wrong) was to do this after-the-fact which is much diff than these celebs who do this knowingly and prepare ahead to be ostentatious hipsters trying to be relevant for the sake of being relevant - which is so ironically the opp of being cool for real. They do things w/out a real focus and purpose and only consider the appearance/ aesthetics of things, the money and the popularity of it - all hipster crap behavior.
If you have a cool and truly 'lived-in' house that is a home and not a showroom instead but that it ALSO looks like a showroom as added benefit to your real life circumstances, good on you. Ppl fail to see these lifestyles should be seen as the added-on bonuses later, the ice-cream on the side, NOT the main purpose for having these things. We live in such an upside-down Matrix where ppl fail to know their priorities but how can we know our priorities unless we know our values first?
It makes sense that a child lives this way b/c you don't know your values yet as you're not evolved to adult stage yet BUT these adult celebs stay stuck in an arrested development - hence their perpetual state of emotional immaturity and therefore, deep ignorance. Then you add a hipster's peer pressure and a perverted & toxic power struggle w/ your handlers to the mix, and you have a recipe for ultimate disaster!
@@kaitlynkarol4600 I loved the architect's work for years and was pleased when he agreed to do my house. My goal was to commission a great piece of architecture. Working with him, we created one of the finest examples of his work. I am extremely proud of that. Later, it appeared in AD and I was happy because it meant it was a good house. Any benefit from being AD came later.
A relevant story is that someone else commissioned a house by my architect because they knew that most of his houses are in AD. When, for some reason, the house was not included, they were furious. Apparently, they chose my architect with the intent of getting their house in the magazine. Pretty weird.

Can you tell me what made you choose to build it instead of buy one (the more I think about it the more I want to build a place) and what the cost was to build vs the value then/now and how you were able to ensure that you got everything done well and the way you wanted?
“When housing is seen as only an asset it’s removed from the living”
I literally "laughed out loud" when you called Lance Armstrong the "Shifty bracelet salesman"!!😂
As someone who’s been a casual watcher of this series (has probably only seen like 10 of these?) this was really eye opening! No one asked but my personal fav is Liv Tyler’s NY home ❤
I loved her house and I couldn’t get over how she showed off lord of the rings figurines in the crawl space attic. No one else did anything nearly as personal
Yes her wallpaper was to die to for!
I just watched and she was so charming! You could tell how much she loved her house and her magnolia tree.
Yes, I really loved hers too!
Yess! My fave too!
This is HILARIOUS and subtle and everything! Love it!
You’re deadpan delivery is hilarious. 😂 I don’t even know what this channel is but I’m gonna need to sub.
As for these celebrities… man, every place feels so impersonal. People love my home because other than being tidy, it says something about me (travels, interests, etc) and isn’t totally curated (no matchy matchy sets of anything). Any of those homes look like a fancy anonymous Airbnb.
Great video! Your comment at the end about homes as shelter vs. entertainment really hits home. I live in "cottage country" year round, i.e. every house around me is someone's second home, while it is my primary residence. In the middle of a massive housing crisis, I live in vast swathe of empty homes owned by air b&b renters and relatively affluent people who can afford a second home for entertainment. When I chat with my neighbours, they are often surprised I have no other home. All these beautiful little homes with space for animals and a garden, all being used for entertainment a few weekends a year.
That's just sad..
Eh, whatever. It's not like they pulled a hit/run on the cat or anything. Or actually killed a person, like a handful of celebs.
Feels so unfair…they could at least rent those houses, I don’t know :/
The dissonance living there must be intense.
@@IrisGlowingBlue It's extremely nice 40 weeks of the year, totally quiet, animals everywhere. Then the cottagers come, make noise, cut down some trees, litter everywhere, and head home. The people who live here full time are much more interested in the health of the land and community.
I once worked in a luxury interior designer kitchen showroom and there were fruit bowls with lemons, limes, dragonfruit, and artichoke 💀
Chloe didn't even dignify the basket of huge yams that were out.
Lol
Just started this video, first time watching the channel and at marker 2:14 i said, this is gonna be effin great! You’re cadence is so interesting and relaxing. Im in the love with the journalist UA-camrs just exposing the crap of celebs, pop culture and media. Im here for it!🎉
I love that you’ve done this vid!
You had me at "all mindless fun must be interrogated."
That hideous table made from wood from Venice piers ("there's only, like, 10 of these in the world!") made me roll my eyes so hard they're still hurting.
I love this channel, BTW. UA-cam randomly directed me to the video about Steve Jobs' house and now I'm basically bingeing my way through. 😊
Yeah, it's very ugly unfortunately, they couldn't have find nicer wood 😅
I was like, yeah there's only 10 of them....cause they're butt ugly 😖
One of the few moments I feel pride for my people is when we manage to sell ugly shite to rich americans, making them believe it's some incredibly rare and beautiful item.
Re-packaging trash to sell to dumbass rich people is an italian speciality lol
yeah thank fucking god there are only 10 of those💀
No, the only way these pricks will pony up is if you tell them it's very rare or unique. They don't care if it's actually a vulgar, meaningless piece of shit. I mean, look at the "art" they buy.
I was hoping you'd mention the limes. I use limes in various recipes & the other week I just bought a bag because they were on sale. When I unpacked my groceries, I thought should I put them in a bowl like all the celebrities in their aesthetic house videos😂
I only leave out 2 at a time. They go bad.
I do have other fruit out for the kids tho
@@YeshuaKingMessiahWhen I buy more than I need, I wash and slice them, then freeze!
Perfect frozen for gin & tonic, or thaw for juice! 💚
I'm wondering if it's some kind of spellwork tbh
This video was so refreshing! I really missed content like this. New subscriber here
"Share this one Lemon" had me choking on the floor. I was gagged.
The limes. I……. I am so deeply confused about Dakota’s love/hate/affection/possible deadly allergy. I never watched a single other AD celeb home tour because I just don’t need that sort of chaos in my brain but since you’re going to walk us through it, I will be there.
I hope it satisfies your curiousity without having to watch 24 hours of these
They all seemed to throw shade at the citrus styling😂
I added all those clips to my Dakota Johnson compilation video. She’s talked about the limes in like 4 interviews. She’s so fucking iconic.
They were just staged. Not that confusing
@@YellowSub0 - A silly copycat hipster is far from being 'iconic'...wow, you kids have no clue what words are, what they mean and how to use them do you??
Your dry humor is my absolute favorite.
Your irreverent quiet humor with that dash of irony is just . ....its everything.
You’re videos are so intelligent and funny! I’m hooked. Thanks
This is the first video of Kendra’s that I have ever watched. And let me tell you. This. was. Gold. It hits every note that I didn’t know I needed. I swear to god the strangest niche I didn’t know I was part of.
Same here
This was literally my main gripe during architecture school.
Those "rock star" buildings that were literally just to flex and had zero value in terms of quality of life.
Same with houses of nobility, especially royal families. Enormous palaces with equally enormous parks and gardens, just to show off. Of course, some of it was used for numerous guests and their servants, but most was empty.
like the modern fancy houses today. i would be depressed if i lived in one of those black sleek modern homes. fancy dark depressing caves.
@@webiorg6147 Most of royal grand houses were used to store their immense haul of wealth in terms of art, sculpture and stolen artefacts.
Carlos Slim, the Mexican billionaire who owns New York's biggest mansion (Duke-Semans Mansion) worth a wooping 80 million DOES NOT live there...
Slim who was ranked as the richest person in the world by Forbes from 2010 to 2013,
surprised a journalist in an interview because Slim lived in a normal small home, not a huge mansion, despite his immense wealth.
Slim explained to the journalist that he finds large mansions impractical. He mentioned, "Those big, huge houses don't allow you to be close to your family. If you're in one room, you're extremely far from your kids' room and the kitchen and etc. You don't get to spend a lot of time close to each other, and you have to walk a lot."
He continued, "I prefer smaller places where the entire family can spend time close together, with rooms that are nearby. Where you can see each other and hear each other. Those enormous mansions are so far apart from each other that it's not practical."
As someone who has and might never live in a place like this when he said that I started to think about it, imagine it, and I'm glad you repeated it....
I've always wondered how people actually can enjoy those enormous houses.... it seems for many it's more to show and make wealth than actually live.
This is so great. Next, please do common themes in Homeworthy videos. I’ll get you started-the Bingo card should have: 1. Layer pattern and color. 2. Not afraid of pattern. 3. Animal print is a neutral. 4. Not a museum. I have pets and/or children. 5. Something quirky, unpredictable. 6. Curated collections.
TEXTURE!!!
And “we bought this house during Covid”
Referring to Lance Armstrong as the "Shifty Bracelet Salesman" fucking killed me. Had to pause to cackle
Kendra I rarely get to see this kind of videos, I’m concerned that I’m hooked on a genre of videos that doesn’t have many of the same analytic content as this one! You hit a spot where the very best of your architectural elements can easily find a deeper meaning in personality analysis rather than just walls and furnishings put together! I’m hooked on your intellectual capabilities, and your ability to see everything our eyes can’t comprehend at first glance!! I’m begging you to please take the time to make more videos like this one!!!! Thanks a lot!!
The real question from one Simmer to another, clearly, is how many of us have watched these and then built them in architecture games? I appreciate you watching all of these to share with us. Pretty groovy project.
13:34 Yesss! I love how you fast-forwarded through The Sims bit, which is how many of us play it- in "fast-forward". 😂
i just know the sims audience is down for a 3x speed situation
Jensen Ackles saying the oven is "so unnecessary 🙄" is such a mood. Really shows he doesn't want to do this but has to to keep up the pretenses
Why does he need to keep up the pretenses? He doesn’t have to.
I love watching Open Door. but the one quote that gets me every time is "one of my favorite bathrooms in the house" and they say that so often!!
I did love karen Gillan's because it seemed like it was a normal size, and the decor felt very unhinged haunted Scottish home which felt right for her.
It was the Babish episode that got me. That's when I knew it wasn't just celebrity superficiality but actually fake, and I was no longer interested. Watching AD is like choosing to watch a commercial for a home you don't want anyway.
I hate that he revealed that kinda thing, and sort of ruined the magic. But we all know they hide all their mess and it comes out again as soon as the cameras leave
@@jj-if6it It's not that they hide their mess, it's that there are people who litterally come and rearrange their entire house/change the furnitures/stage everything just for a video which isn't even genuine while it pretends to be
It’s probably a good push to actually get your home set up. It’s easy to put off when you first move in somewhere !
I didn’t know I needed this video. Amazing. Thank you.
It's one of these days when a recommended video ends up being a total gem. :)
I got really into a Christmasy mood when you started listing all the things. "5 Stripper poles, 4 Christmas episodes, 2 Wine Promotions, 3 Candle closets, 4 pieces by James Turell, Oooooneeee faaake Ruth Asaaaawaaaaa"
Absolutely brilliant comment!
Quite unexpectadly you made me cry tears of merriment!
Thank you for that!

THANK YOU for calling out the studios for their threat to let this strike drag on until us writers lose our homes!
Yes! I’m so happy they pointed that out!! I’ve known about the strike and how writers aren’t being paid livable wages but I had no idea *how* extremely intentional the harm the higher ups are doing to them
This is why you gotta seek out other streams of income and also be an indie writer. I am a screenwriter myself - have lots of scripts that I plan on being produced but w/ YT and other ways of making & selling movies, we gotta get away from the evil tyrants who run H-wood. That's why it's all about to blow up. They never let me in b/c I wouldn't lay on their casting couches or join their secret societies so they booted my 'outsider' butt to the curb but I love the outlier rep I have. It's a badge of honor.
Just curious, what kind of scripts do you write? Have you written anything we would know? Best of luck and blessing to you in this horrible time! :)
It's a strike. It is all about who gives in first. Writers want to financially hurt the studios...but they have deeper pockets. Besides AI can write a script just as well. Most of the movies made nowadays are just copies af a few themes: "big city girl goes back to her rural hometown, meets a down to earth guy, ends up with him", or "ex special forces has his daughter kidnapped to force him into doing something, takes revenge", " Policeman suspected of a murder, has only 24 hours to prove his innocence", "Man meets a petty stranger who turns out to be a psychopath" come a dime a dozen. There are no original scripts. I'd say Let AI write the scripts. and maybe, just maybe, the really good script writers who really bring something new will emerge.
@@Ed19601 Welp, the writers won. Also, you should maybe consider watching some better movies. There are literally millions out there, all written by humans.
@@glitterkittyindustries7562 Yes I know they won. I would happily watch some better movies, but they are hardly there. The few that are there might have been written by those writers I referred to in my comment. The rest can easily be replaced by AI
I hopped over here from Lena Norms’ weekly shoutout and omg this is the niche I want and you do it so well!!!!
"it could start a friendship or a fistfight- I don't really care which." Fiiiiiine you got me, subscribed 😂😂😂
Celebrity houses are like some type of weird liminal space where there is only marble and citrus fruit, no one uses the kitchen or living room, and not one photo of a human family member can be found. Like they are houses, for sure, but surely they cannot feel like a home. Strange
They are referred to as "show homes". I sold luxury appliances and many who can afford luxury brands (Subzero/Wolf, Viking, Miele, and others) tend to eat out almost all the time or have a 2nd "dirty kitchen" that's not shown in these videos.
People who have nothing on their countertops (super modern kitchens) except a few pieces of fruit for example, don't use their kitchen or have kids.
This is absolutely fabulous, and now I'm feeling like I have to invest in some bird sculptures to give my guest friends and put limes all over my counters.
giving all my friends tiny snail sculptures to thank them for coming to visit
8:56 that was so funny, like she didn't buy the lemons in time so she used the only one she had left in the fridge 😅
First video I’ve watched of yours. You are hilarious! Immediately subscribed
watching ALL of them is insane omg... you are architecture's strongest soldier...
The ominous Halloween soundtrack at the beginning was fantastic!
I feared it was too long, so this comment means a lot
That was such a unique and fascinating piece I will for sure be following for more content you rock!
at the start of the video i felt scared for you because you seemed genuinely unwell but further into the video i realised that your work was necessary... thank you
Instantly subscribed!
The research: A++
The humour: A++++++
The vibes: A+++++++++
one of my fav channels is actually never too small. I actually very much enjoy seeing other people living comfortably in their small spaces, or changing the layout in a way that makes sense with their lifestyles. those are more enjoyable for me because it gives me ideas for my own tiny, crummy apartment. rather than a forced sense of envy from big ultra lush mansions from celebes.
Thanks, I'll look into it, I myself living in a relatively small house (800 sq ft).
I think you'd love the channel Dear Modern
Omg same!! I love never too small, always so satisfying to watch
Go to a 3rd World Country to see crumminess. You have access to stuff they don't. 1St Worlders compare themselves to Bill Gates but it funn'y howe they act like they think they are better and don't consider people from the the 3rd World. Go walk around the projects.
Yes! I also really love HGTV handmade home tours. Talk about the absolute opposite of this. They are lovely (not famous people, but homes that are noteworthy due to artistic choices and efforts)
This is so meticulously done, the research, the insight, and the perspective. Thanks for such a great content. You are a genius.
you are so awesome. This is my first video of yours and I love your delivery
