Feel like peeking inside Jensen's house?

I saw this from Jensen's Facebook post! I... don't like the house. But getting a peek into their lives is still fun, and I enjoy the pictures of the family (love Daneel's dress). There were bits of the house I liked. Just none that really go with any of the others. And I'm sorry... I object to JJ's room. That is just not a kid's room to me. It doesn't look comfortable or fun.

I totally agree with you about her room! It's lovely, but a kid's room?

Yeah, i thought it was funny that the story called her room “colorful.” It’s a white room with colorful bedding and a rug, but it’s a white room. I assume they emptied it for the photo shoot, though. It probably looks more like a kid’s room when it’s not magazine-ready.

Right? And the article said, IIRC, that JJ "helped pick the colors?" It sounds like SOME of the colors were her only part in that process, and I'm not saying you give major decisions that cost a lot of money over to a 5-year-old, but... yeah. Hopefully you're right, that it's more kid-friendly when not prepped for a photo shoot.

Thanks for the link, I've seen the pics but hadn't read the article. I'm envious of their space, their view and their turntable!

Their house is unbelievably beautiful, incredibly stylish and...kind of cold, in my opinion. The Padalecki's home, at least the one featured a few years ago in People or something, was beautiful, warm and very inviting and had a real Texas flavor to it. I get that photo shoots like this don't give you any flavor of use, but Jared's house looked like a place that kids could live in. :)

I prefer what I’ve seen of the Padalecki house too. And I thought Danneel’s comment that anything matching was horrible and “should be illegal” was kinda over the top. It’s enough to say “not my style;” you don’t have to insult other people’s choices.

Ah, I missed that comment from Danneel-- now it makes more sense that nothing in the house goes with anything else.

Man, but they have bad taste!

I liked how bright and airy it was but not a huge amount else - oh, the stained glass lamps were nice and the sort of thing that went in those kind of spaces. And it is an improvement on what was there when they moved in! But I wouldn't want to live in it with that decor myself.

I'm really curious about the fact that they brought almost nothing with them from their California place - I find that really weird. But I'm such a hoarder myself I find people who don't keep years and years worth of ephemera very strange.
