She was nothing but a drug addict, what ashame to have so much talent and all gone to waste. And I guarentee she never donated any money for the poor or sick.
I loved Whitney! Not only was she a superstar, but she was also a kind person. It’s just so sad that she fell into the trap of drugs…as so many celebrities do once they accumulate so much wealth that enables them to buy virtually anything they desire. One day when I have the money to purchase and maintain it…I will buy this home in memory of Whitney…may she rest in peace.❤
Driving past 18 years ago I noticed a dumpster full of old double raised panel door, knocked on the door, The contractor said, yes the doors are being, "thrown out ".."take them, it's a shame they're being wasted". I went to the local truck rental got a truck and the contractor gladly helped load the doors, so he could fill it with old windows....all perfectly good, but I had what I needed a truck load doors.. The house he did over was better before he Ralphed it...which is always too much..to nouveau. and just too much of a display room or window of merch on 5th ave.
Wow! Thank you very much for sharing this unique piece of info with us! It's really insane how the rich hurry to replace too many good things in their newly bought properties. But at least, in this situation - one man's trash is another man's treasure ;)
She definitely had good taste! Though it saddens me to know how dysfunctional and unhealthy her life in that place eventually became, she certainly earned, and deserved, a beautiful home like that. I just wish she'd had a better time living there! She was a stunning and super-talented lady who is much missed to this day. 💔 R.I.P Nippy.
Haha, that's an interesting look on it :) Yep, it really reminds of the late 80s \early 90s style. The house really stands out, that's why we chose to tell about it.
The exterior of the house is beautiful, however, the vines will eventually ruin it. As for the interior of the home, ery nice but I've seen better examples of his work.
Her father did not manage her wealth well, her house was heavily mortgaged and she had to sell it under market price late when she has financial difficulties late years !
Not my style, but the grounds are beautiful... Cissy stated, John Houston on Whitneys behalf, toured the property and placed the bid on the house. Cissy stated this was a flashy house, more Johns style...not Whitney's.
A mix of French and English traditional furniture , lovely pieces but nothing really new. The whole look is « more is more » and seriously lacks creativity . It’s surprising that America hasn’t developed its own furniture style it still relies on Europe for luxurious furnishings.
I have always loved the deep rich colors in Ralph Lauren inspired interiors. I am all about layering and using what I have. Editing is the key. I like pairing items that tell a story and create a mood. Pairs help bring symmetry to a heavily accessorized room. Otherwise it becomes chaotic with nowhere for your eyes to rest. I always recommend buying pairs of furniture,lamps and accessories. By placing them grouped around a central object you create both a focal point and instant symmetry. Ralph Lauren is wonderful but Charles Faudree was a master of this. He could fill a room with furniture,objects and multiple patterns and yet his interiors were calm and inviting. My favorite designer.
The problem with all these expertly organized, immaculately chic spaces is that nobody actually wants to be in them. Especially straight men. If you're looking for the guests and wondering why they're indifferent to your pristine pairs of things on the sideboard - you'll find them in the garden. By the way these photographs are well and truly out of date.
