Hi AD, I'm Amber Valletta.
Come on in.
[lively music]
This is the living room.
My most favorite things in this room are
these Frattini vintage chairs.
They're actually the first thing I bought
for the house.
These chairs set the tone for this living room
and they are so comfortable.
I love these chairs.
So believe it or not,
everybody thinks California is always sunny
and 80 degrees, but it is not.
It is cold and chilly
and we turn this fireplace on a lot.
I love these sconces.
They're vintage Murano Glass from the '50s.
These are like, oh, I love these sconces.
This cool blobby walnut table came from Europe.
We liked the fact that it was like weird shape
that added an element to break up all of the,
kind of, strong straight lines in the room.
This sectional is really cool.
It has these cool leather straps.
We're here a lot with the dogs, hanging out.
Sometimes I just sit here early morning
and look out at the yard and the pool.
I love it.
[lively music]
This is the dining room
and initially, we wanted a different table.
We wanted to find something vintage
but it was really hard to find something
that worked in this room.
We also wanted to try a round table.
The chairs are vintage Wegner.
These walls are super cool.
They're fluted and all the walls
in the house are natural clay,
so there's no paint.
It's all clay and natural dyes
but these have a little bit of like,
sand in them, so they were thicker
so that they could make the fluting.
We designed this house
with my best friend, Ross Cassidy.
He is an extremely talented interior designer.
We love doing things like going to garden stores
and buying little plants.
He's come all the way to Paris
when I've been there working
and we've gone to the flea market and had a blast.
That's where we found a majority of our lights
and furniture and general inspiration.
I just think we're a really great team.
This light, it was recovered
from a Paris apartment, which I love.
I'm sure this light fixture saw lots
of cool parties.
And more plants.
More beautiful, weird little plants.
[lively music]
And here's the kitchen
and here's Teddy, my fiance.
Hey! Hi honey.
The kitchen is one of our favorite rooms.
Teddy's really the better chef
out of the two of us.
We only do French dishes here, so,
[both laugh]
we can do Pot-au-feu,
we can do Boeuf bourguignon,
we can do the all French classic.
[Amber] One of the cool things about this kitchen is
that this island was made higher to match-
My size. Yeah.
I'm 6'5,
but I always think a little higher furniture,
like island, it make the room more powerful.
[Amber] This table is from France.
It's an old farm door.
And like you can see as well,
here you have the staple,
which is a nice detail.
but one of two the detail is this door
from the, yes, this is important.
Open this and you close it. No.
I dunno why it's- It's pretty much like
you closing the store, right?
[Teddy laughs]
He likes to close these.
And I like to close this,
like this is like, give a little message.
Do not touch. [both laughing]
So that's the kitchen.
Do you wanna show them your favorite room in the house?
Yes, of course. Let's check it out.
[both laughing] [lively music]
So we are down in the basement of our house
and it actually is supposed to feel like a cave
or a wine cellar.
And this is probably your favorite room.
We're in the gym. It is my favorite room.
This is my little area where I'm doing hair.
This is from Japan.
I think you should be,
sit in it. Oh, should I be in it?
Okay. Okay. Yeah, I think so.
You completely like lay down to do your shampoo.
I don't get this treatment very often.
This is for his clients, not me.
We use the gym pretty much daily.
Bella, she uses the treadmill when we're working out
so she can get some extra exercise.
She also goes to the park,
but she loves getting on the treadmill
and doing her workout while we do our workout.
That's our basement. Let me show you the rest of the house.
[lively music]
I'm letting you into my primary suite,
which is my most private space, my bedroom.
I love this space for a few different reasons.
I love the vaulted ceilings.
I love the peaceful vibe in here.
I look out and all I see are trees and mountains.
I love this beautiful plant and my crystals.
I just love the fact that it feels calming.
I just wanted this house
and the space to feel really relaxing
and peaceful and comfortable.
Comfortable is key.
One of the beautiful things too,
I think about this room is this very large silk carpet.
It's like you wanna roll around in it.
It brings so much warmth in the room.
These beautiful chairs I got in France,
they're vintage from the '50s
and I just love this, it's gorgeous.
It's handmade and it's all ceramic
and it's incredibly heavy.
Be very careful at night
because you can scar yourself hitting it,
which I did recently.
[lively music]
Now we're in the primary bathroom.
It is very important, I think, to have two spaces.
When you live with someone.
If you're lucky enough to have the room,
you can have two sinks and we have two showers.
The shower is huge.
We can have a party in here
and we do occasionally wash the dog in here,
but that's rare.
Usually she goes out.
So yeah, both Teddy and I can shower at the same time
if we're in a hurry.
You can do lunges, you know, stretch in the morning.
It's like it's big.
So the light fixture above me is also really beautiful.
We didn't find this light fixture.
Rob Diaz, the designer of the overall structure
of the house, put this in.
I love the soft, round, bubbly feel of that one.
Also, it looks like tits,
I mean, it looks like a woman's body
and it mirrors the shape of the tub.
The rounded, rounded bits, rounded bits, rounded bits.
I absolutely love the floors,
but I'm not gonna lie, they're kind of cold.
And I do need a carpet in here.
Ross, I need a carpet in here.
[lively music]
So welcome to our closet.
Teddy and I share a closet
except the big side is my side.
And that little alcove over there is his.
So I have a lot of amazing pieces
that I've collected over the years.
Some of them have been gifts from designers
and some of them I bought vintage,
'cause I love vintage.
So this was from, gosh,
I think this is only like two or three months ago,
and I went with Saint Laurent
and this is a Saint Laurent piece by Anthony Vaccarello.
So I wore this crazy sexy body suit
and this big fluffy green neon feathered coat.
[lively music]
This incredible Prada piece,
skirt and top is from the mid '90s.
I wore this actually in a campaign shop by Glen Luchford.
So beautiful and it's totally an iconic campaign.
I love men's suits and I love tuxedos.
I just think they're super classic.
And I have this incredible handmade bespoke Tom Ford tuxedo
that he made for me for a gift
for doing his very first fashion show in New York.
And here's my name. This suit is super sexy.
Love this tuxedo.
[lively music]
We are in our office. I spend a lot of time in here.
Okay, this is another one of my favorite rooms.
I love my house.
This also has fluted walls,
which we wanted to carry that theme through the house.
This desk table we found here in LA.
It's vintage, but what I really love about it,
and I think why we just thought it was so cool
and unique was the shape.
Because no one has like, you know, a place
of greater importance in a shape like this.
Now you do have a better view if you're on
that side looking out, but there's no head of the table.
These chairs are new and they're super cozy.
Great when you're sitting at the computer for hours.
This light came from Paris, it's vintage.
We just thought this glass was like incredible.
This was found at auction
and it is, honestly, it was shocking that we found a piece
that fit this room perfectly that had all the cabinet space
for like the fax machine, not the fax machine.
It's like 1990, sorry, for the printer.
And then this wall.
It's one of the few places in the house
that we just kind of layered artwork and photography.
This was for the Versace campaign that I shot
with Richard Avedon in the '90s.
Only special pieces get put up on the wall.
[lively music]
Come see my, my personal favorite
is my meditation room slash library.
This is where I spend every morning.
I sit here in the middle and I put on my app
and I do my meditation here.
Some really cool stuff in here.
This is an original Richard Avedon book called,
Observations, that he signed.
These are vintage Hermes, little ashtrays
that I've had since I was like 20.
This was my invitation
to the Alaia Couture show last summer.
They said, Bring your invitation with you.
So we all took our chairs and watched the show
and I took my chair with me because it's so cool.
[lively music]
All right, AD, that was really fun. But I gotta go.
I got, I got things to do, you know, people to see. Bye.
[door clicks open] I told you to leave.
