Fresh Prince, Indeed
I knew Will & Jada had it going on. But I had no idea they lived in the Garden of Eden. Have you seen this spread in Architectural Digest? See that gazebo in the final photo? Will says the right answers just "come to him" out there. Talk about a private oasis. I am absolutely swooning over their living room, though. Architectural goodness courtesy of Stephen Samuelson only adds to the incredible view the room affords. I could lose myself in this space for hours. It is, as Jada says, "earthy and organic" but it oozes modern sophistication. All I can say is that hard work has paid off for one of the biggest self-made men in Hollywood. This 25,000 square foot home is a testament to the power of a dream, goals and a persistent, urgent need to be the very best you can be. Fresh indeed.
I so loved this space. While it is huge, they didn't just build the space to be as big and flashy as possible, but to have some really special spaces and personality.

You nailed it Jamie. Not ostentatious in the least. A very warm, natural space that looked easy to call home. Stunning natural surroundings!

I love the fact that while it's 25,000 sq. ft, there's no cold museum feel to it. It's got a rich and homey vibe with the mellow colors and textures. It's grand alright but there's a warmth there too. Finding that balance is an art in itself.
