Elephant saddle and toilet disco: 10 weird things in the homes of stars

Sometimes in the apartments and country estates of celebrities you can find quite unexpected things.

Model Gigi Hadid recently boasted on Instagram about the result of almost 12 months of work on the arrangement of the apartment bought for $ 5,8 million in Manhattan. Her works did not go unnoticed – well-known designers were even slightly “hung up” from such a riot of colors in the interior.

“It’s like a cafeteria in a college dormitory of 2002,” the BoredPanda portal quotes the famous American designer Keith Raft. – This is such a bold choice that it commands respect. Imagine, Gigi is offered a choice of white or black cabinets, and she says: “No, I want colorful pasta.” She may be a genius. “

In addition to colorful pasta in the kitchen design, attention is drawn to unpaired skis and a giant yellow handle in the living room, a multi-colored sofa, fancy coloring prints and billiard balls in a basket in the kitchen. Personally, we would shudder with fright when faced with a writing instrument of this size, but Gigi apparently likes everything, and she feels quite comfortable in such an environment, since she decided to show off her design achievements.

Nevertheless, some of the household items in his home are truly impressive. According to the Dni.ru portal, which asked famous designers to evaluate the furnishings in Mikhailov’s house, the cost of Stas Mikhailov’s bed is about 2,3 million rubles, a desk costs 1,1 million, a coffee table – 840 thousand, and a sofa in the living room – about 3,5 million rubles.

Anastasia Denisova: bar counter from the pub

“When I began to live separately, I deliberately designed an apartment with the expectation that I would constantly change, buy, rearrange something,” says the actress. – The other day we celebrated my birthday, and the theme of the party was based on the contrast of opposites. I was a brasserie princess! Sheer pink mi mi and brutal male pub! When I saw a long wooden bar counter in The Stag’s Head Pub, I finally realized that I absolutely need a bar counter at home, if not so large, to receive guests and feel in a relaxed and carefree atmosphere! “

Anna Peskova: rare samovar

“Our living room is combined with the kitchen, here I am mainly the owner,” the actress told the correspondents of the Antenna-Telesem magazine. – I love to cook, just yesterday I made pilaf for two families: my sister and dad came to visit. For myself, a small cup of tea is enough for breakfast, but for my husband we specially bought a samovar at a flea market, he likes to arrange real tea parties. This thing turned out to be a rarity. We restored the samovar, washed it, cleaned it. It is made of brass, manufactured by the Batashev brothers, and was made in 1912. It is melted with logs, which Dima skillfully splits into small chips, and this is how the real ritual of tea drinking begins.

Anastasia Volochkova: Bath with the Mouse King

The ballerina’s house is generally full of all sorts of unusual gizmos: a ottoman in the shape of a pig, a mirror elephant, and much more. But the main thing is the bath, which Anastasia adores.

“When I visited the town of Tarusa near Moscow, the owner of the local bath complex said: ‘Nastya, let me give you a bath,” Volochkova recalls. – Why not? The masters came to me and did everything with such a soul! Knowing that the first ballet I saw as a child was The Nutcracker, they built me ​​an author’s bathhouse with the Mouse King, the Nutcracker and ballerinas who were made from my photographs! “

Alexey Glyzin: autograph above the porch

“The inscription“ A. Glyzin “above the porch and in the kitchen was made by the builders as a surprise, first asking for my autograph,” the singer explained, conducting a tour of his country house for the correspondents of the Antenna-Telesem magazine. – I recommend everyone to live not in concrete, but in wood. In such houses, insomnia disappears, pressure is restored. Someone took air measurements at my place: they say, like in the Swiss Alps. “

Vika Tsyganova: beaded icons

The three-story mansion of the singer and her husband Vadim Tsyganov, located near Zelenograd, according to polls by design and interior magazines, is among the ten best houses in Russia.

“Icons embroidered with beads are hung on the walls throughout the house,” Vadim said in an interview with the Antenna-Telesem magazine. – 15 years ago a girl Olya from our village came to me and said: “Let’s sell my icons”. I looked at her work and gasped. And Olya: “For me icons are a miracle, when I don’t work on them, I’m covered with psoriasis, and as soon as I sit down to work, I’m healed.” So Olya began to work with us, and now you can see her icons everywhere. We presented St. George the Victorious in the Donetsk region, and then brought the same one to Syria and there we learned that St. George the Victorious, it turns out, was from this country. “

Gluk’oZa: new technologies even in the toilet

The singer never let the press into her Moscow apartment, but made an exception for Antenna-Telesem. An unusual piece of furniture that she has, with the naked eye and cannot be noticed. But he is there.

“I love music, and therefore it is everywhere in the apartment. Sorry, but even in the toilet. Once in connection with this, a funny story happened: my grandma pressed a button by accident, and the music did not turn on anywhere except in the restroom. He calls and complains: “No matter how I go in, there is swotting, well, the neighbors have cleared up, now I’ll give them.” She reported to the control room, then to the guard, everyone ran to her together with the manager of the house. We went around the neighbors, conducted a whole investigation, but everything is quiet! In the end, they went to the toilet, and the disco is there. This is how my modern technologies have led everyone to a dead end, ”said Natalya Chistyakova-Ionova.

Irina Turchinskaya: golden fish

The coach of the “Weighted People” project on STS moved from a big house, and then from an apartment in a new building to a cozy stalinka, because she realized: for happiness, she and her daughter Ksenia (Vladimir Turchinsky, athlete and TV presenter, Irina’s husband, passed away in 2009 ) don’t need a lot of space.

“I was the first to let the fish into my new home,” recalls Irina. – Before ordering any finishing materials, I went to take a closer look at what was happening on the market. I go to a salon where chandeliers are sold, I see a figurine of a fish and I understand that it should live with me. I don’t know why, but she just shocked me. I say: “Sell”. They answer me: “This is not a product, but a piece of furniture.” It turned out that the fish belonged to the owner of the store. They called the owner, I said that later I would buy all the lamps from her. They sold the fish, but I didn’t buy anything else. But the most interesting thing started later. I was introduced to the designer Maria. I tell her about my apartment, tell her that I need lamps, we agree that I will send photos of the interiors. I took pictures, I am sending a frame with a fireplace, on which there is a fish. Maria calls back and says: “So you are that crazy girl who took the fish from my desk!” And she loved it very much and gave it away, assuming that a potential client would return to her later. And I, it turns out, returned. “

Natasha Barbier: Elephant Saddle Table

“There is nothing deliberately expensive in the apartment,” says the TV presenter, who has made many “perfect repairs” in the homes of celebrities. – The buffet was made not by Italian, but by Belarusian masters. The coffee table in the living room is not an antique, but a real elephant saddle. Truth! A friend once brought it from India. She and her husband vacated the shed and wanted to throw it away, and I took it and came up with a table. It is interesting and comfortable, only very heavy. But six children can jump on it at the same time if they want to. “
