Ellen Pompeo Gives a House Tour of Her Home With Martyn Lawrence Bullard | Architectural Digest

Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo gives Architectural Digest a tour of her home with some insight from her interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. The house was built by Paul Williams who was hired by silent film star Antonio Moreno, Jr. Though Pompeo initially didn't like Bullard's idea of wood on the walls of the dining room, once she saw it in action, it became her favorite room. The kitchen was originally three rooms, created in the '20s, but now is "the heart of the home". The biggest challenges had the biggest payoff. The balcony is such a great feature. The yard was unusable but is now a full usable acre.

[@nataliebrooks6252]

She seems so down to earth for being one of the highest paid actresses in tv. Her home is big but it’s modest like the designer said, nobody is afraid to touch things in this house because it was too expensive. Everything in the house gets used. That’s awesome.

[@hannahoke9216]

How am I seeing this 6 years later...

[@carolz5090]

This designer is AMAZING. He did such a fantastic job in answering the call of those large, theatrical spaces without going over the top and garish. He used contemporary pieces without them seeming out of the place in a vintage home, which is damn hard to do. I love the bold, dark colors, I don’t have the courage to do that. The light fixtures are my favorite things. Is this the same guy that did her Hampton, NY home? That was naturally a very different vibe but I loved it, and suggested that AD do one of their Open Door videos there, I’ll have to find it again and see. Kudos to Ellen for working with this designer, and for having such an appreciation for good design and good taste herself.
