Back in early 2017, Jessica Alba purchased a Los Angeles mansion for $10 million.
When speaking toRealtor.com, the listing agent described the house as “elegant yet comfortable.”
But that doesn’t even begin to illustrate this mansion.
The nearly 9,000-square-foot house features seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms on a 1.85-acre property.
Oh, and there’s also a detached guest house.
Spoiler: it’s changed alot.
Here’s what the inside and outside of Jessica Alba’s home looks like today.
Was Jessica Alba’s home a fixer upper?
Nevertheless, Alba was interested in purchasing the property as it was.
“I thought, I have an imagination and I know what I want.
Alba looked to Pinterest for ideas on how to redecorate the space and later turned to her famous friends.
I mean, there were literally no walls!”
One of the most extensive changes made in Jessica Alba’s home is actually evident immediately upon stepping inside.
And that’s just what they did.
Asthe original listing photosdemonstrate, the previous staircase featured traditional banisters and the flooring was a white-and-black checkered tile.
The renovated foyer is much more modern.
Additionally, Alba made sure the home would be “kid-friendly.”
Yes, you’ve got the option to even peep a baby gate and slipcovered sofas.
This is perhaps most evident in the living room.
You’d get one stunning space, that’s for sure.
No home is complete without at least a few pictures of your family, right?
However, the view was obviously perfect as it was.
In fact, part ofthe 18-month renovationincluded accentuating those killer canyon views.
So, we just opened it right up."
After perusing Pinterest, Alba assembled her ideas into a plan.
“I love natural materials.
I love butcher block islands,” the actress revealed.
“Just putting together my dream of what would be the kitchen and this is it.”
The mom of three also decided to replace the appliances after finding the perfect range online.
“I’ve been dreaming about a stove like this my whole life,” she admitted.
Same, girl, same.
In the decades that followed, though, their popularity started to wane.
Jessica Alba’s Californian mansion wasbuilt in 2005, and, unsurprisingly, it featured a breakfast nook.
While Alba could’ve opted to repurpose the space, she wouldn’t have dared to remove it.
For her family, it’s also proved incredibly useful.
“I love a hand-me-down,” the actress added.
It was in this backyard that Alba threwher husband Cash Warren’s 40th birthday party.
Since then, Alba has decided to no longer hold those kinds of parties in the outdoor space.
“He’s in his 40s now, so he can do other stuff!”
she joked toArchitectural Digest.
“This is our dream house!”
The previous owners incorporated slipcovered chairs as has Alba.
Nevertheless, the actress has done so in a much more modern and relaxed way.
The chairs even fold up when not in use.
Unlike the previous owners, Alba paired her slipcovered chairs with a much larger eating space.
“It’s nice because we have this big wooden table,” she toldArchitectural Digest.
“We like to have big family dinners.”
The dining room also features two vintage sideboards that Alba revealed had been painted to better suit the space.
Yep, even the utilities are a work of art.
Alba even beautified a typically utilitarian space: the laundry room.
One wall-to-wall shelf is lined withAlba’s The Honest Company cleaning products.
“Two washers, two dryers,” Alba’s daughter Haven pointed out during the tour.
“It’s a whole situation,” her mom sighed in reply.
Alba also found ways to save money in this space.
She decided against Italian limestone and got flooring from Lowe’s Home Improvement instead.
The large jute rug, blush walls, and white furniture make for a serene bedroom.
Her room at the new house, though, is more grown up.
“This is my room,” Alba’s oldest daughter toldArchitectural Digest.
“I really like it because I get privacy in it.”
She clarified, saying, “Not all the time.”
Honor showed off her gray upholstered bed, which she said she’s supposed to make each morning.
Like Haven’s room, Honor’s bedroom also leads out to a balcony albeit a much larger one.
Haven accompanied her older sister, sitting on the outdoor settee as Honor showed off the balcony swing.
We areallkinds of jealous.
And, like his sisters' rooms, his room in mom Jessica Alba’s house did not disappoint.
Alba went with a monochromatic, black and white theme for her son’s bedroom.
Although not a giant space,the nurseryfeatures a large toy shelf sectioned into smaller cubbies.
The one thing that is not accessible in Hayes' room, though, is his changing table.
Instead of keeping it in the bedroom, she relocated the changing table to the ensuite bathroom.
Jessica Alba’s home features a calming master suite
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren havearemarkablemaster suite.
The large bedroom is painted in a serene gray-blue shade interestingly named Mole’s Breath by Farrow & Ball.
The bedroom also features a sitting area that was originally home to a fireplace.
Alba replaced it with glass doors leading to a balcony.
Off the other side of the bedroom is ahugemaster bathroom with all the bells and whistles.
“And so that way it’s nice and cozy and warm.
“Um, yes, c’mon.
Jessica Alba’s home is a dream.
