I restored all of the windows, doors, tons of wood problems &plaster and painted this house over a year and a half span of time, just before Ireland bought the house. She never lived in it for a single day–the mexican laborers who redid the plumbing, landscape and remodeled one side of the main house camped in it until it was done. Ireland lied to but it for a low price, saying it was for her and her boys to live in. She flipped it and raised the price almost 3 million dollars. She was not the owner for long. The real owner (name withheld) was an amazing artist and wonderful client. I know the character of the estate before Ireland “glitzed it up” –and it was sadly watered down and cosmo’ed.
I imagine Reese is very happy though, and will never miss the old world charm that Ireland bulldozed away in her quest to make a ton of $, and glorify herself further as a designer.

Late to the party but for my two cents, the home looks much better in the MLS pics than it did with Ireland’s decor in HB. I remember wanting to love it, because the house seemed so cool (”bohemian spanish” right?) but I just felt like it went way tooo ethnic with the ikat fabric, Spanish painting and other very psychedelic-Catholic objects. And that weird wicker furniture under that gorgeous tree? Just punctuated a negative.
Anyway, so I am so thankful to have seen the place with a clean slate… now I’m just trying to figure how you keep little kids from going into that big open fireplace…

[...] Hooked on Houses is the blog for you. Julia examines a place inside out, frugal or fantasy - like Reese Witherspoon’s $6.9 million country house - and takes you along for the ride. She also sneaks in posts on hallway photos, her lovely kids, [...]

Wasn’t this house listed in arch. dig. a couple of years ago? I could swear it was….even inquired about it while passing thru ojai. I recgnized the view down from the top of the staircase into the living room. If there are any similar ones available with a few acres, please let me know. I, too fell in love with the irregularity of it!

To me, the house is to black and white, no color. Is she afraid of color? Can she not afford a professional decorator? Doesn’t look like a celebrity home to me.
