AND THIS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IS AN ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST WORTHY TOUR. What an absolute breath of fresh air this was. Might not be everyone’s style but true design lovers can fully appreciate the attention to detail and how true they stayed to the bones of the house while still bringing it into the 21st century. IN LOVE. Pls no more white empty basketball player mansions that have been staged just for the show

[@lourdesrecchi]

Exactly!!!👏

[@MehnazTabassumW]

Can’t agree more! Loved every bit of it and how happy, proud, emotional and grateful she seems!

[@pammass2570]

yes! a breath of fresh air!

i think she probably has the coolest taste i have ever seen. her interior designers did an amazing job

[@rebeccab2446]

The architects are the real heros here!

[@zoea6953]

Finally, an AD house tour with a real sense of personalised taste and associated design to that taste. Her space is a clear representation of her and it is imaginative, creative and showcases design details like no other AD tour.

[@alittlebitofjessica]

Every comment section under every AD Tour video has this comment 😑

[@vi2e]

No way she spent more than two hours in that house. This villa is probably for sale and she is just presenting it. All those shoes are brand new and unworn. There are three "personalized" objects scattered around he house. This is nothing but a well done commercial.

[@LC-fx2lo]

It's SO nice to see a celebrity show this much love for their hometown! There is nothing pretentious or fake about her. I love it! NYC and LA aren't the only places in the US worth living.

haha same here. girl is living her best life. as someone who grow up with toxic family, it always kind of sting to see someone so loved by their parents, but at the same time im happy for her. parental love is the biggest flex.

[@fairfight9857]

Who would not be happy & grateful to live in such a luxurious & fancy house 😂

[@virginia9509]

I love the way she talks about her parents. It looks like they set the foundation for her to be confident and stylish. Great house.

the disco hood?????? i am in shock and awe - perhaps the coolest thing i've seen on this channel!

[@sofiejacobi]

i feel robbed that they failed to show what it looks like at night

[@wondering1912]

If someone actually cooks in that kitchen, I feel bad for whomever has to clean the thousands of crevices in that mirrored hood. Clearly she either has a very hardworking housekeeper or her mom is not the only one who doesn't cook.

[@laurenstarnes54]

As a Kansas City resident, this tour makes me so happy! I love Heidi’s style and how she spotlighted several local artists and businesses!

[@colortura]

This house is an 11 out of 10. Being a music lover, get as many of your dad's records as possible. Nothing like a great vinyl collection.

[@johnsilva9139]

She said he had 10,000 albums! He must have done nothing but buy records. And I guess he numbered them all in the order that he bought them.

I have that exact print (9:07) in our downstairs bathroom. It's called, "wishin" and it was purchased by my mom at the Plaza art fair in the mid '70's. When she died I inherited the print. Mine is 15/100.

[@efrengonzalez8605]

That is super cool! It's very striking

[@Liz-bt3vn]

When this video came into my KZbin, I clicked to watch assuming that this is another SNL sketch. Felt scammed that this isn't SNL but now I'm hooked. Also, now I see another side of Heidi which make me love her even more. She's not only super talented, but has this humble-girl-next-door vibe and has amazing taste. And now I know that she's another cat lady!!! What's not to love?!

[@SaltwaterMom3]

I love that she made it into something that soothes her soul. It’s not for everyone, but I can appreciate the thought she has put into it and that she created something to enjoy with her family and friends. They did a great job with the entire design!

this is the midcentury modern house of my dreams! this is my favorite AD tour so far.

I had no idea who she was, but holy moly does she have taste! This is how you do a modernized Mid Century! So much detail. Props to the designers

[@dresqueda]

This Kansas City house is one of several in a particular neighborhood with what was called "California modern". I know exactly where this house is located, because my parents had nearly the same house in this particular neighborhood just down the street. This is a great update on the basic layout of these homes. Well Done!!!

I haven't finished watching yet but her house is very cool and I love the midcentury styling, she did a great job.

After a few decades off, I started watching SNL again last season. It’s better than ever, and Heidi is definitely my favorite cast member. That “all you can eat burger” sketch was wild! She’s so funny and INCREDIBLY beautiful!

[@Chloe.zyxwvu]

Wow SNL cast members often said the show didn’t pay well, but viewed their time as an exchange to get exposure, experience, and learn the art of performance on a legendary stage. Idk but this stunning house says SNL pays very well, in every respect. Incredible.

[@exxymusic]

this place is AMAZING!!! Blown away, such a creative masterpiece. haven't seen anything like this before and I adore it.

[@IvanKosta-dv5mw]

At first I didn’t like it much because it seemed too brown and beige, but I love Heidi so I kept watching her tour of the features and I perked up with the burgundy flowers, the rock fireplace, the fiber cabinets and marble sink counter…and especially the disco hood ! Why didn’t she show it at night ? The open space design really drew me in.❤ And after watching several times I just noticed the burgundy rug !!!!
