Casa La Vista - $3.5 million home (Puerto, Vallarta, Mexico) – Living Large
Located on the sun-kissed shores of Mexico’s Pacific coast, this dream home is truly one-of-a-kind. The furnishings are casually elegant in neutral colors accented by bright, vivid, typically Mexican colors. It took a year and a half to make all the furniture and find the decorative pieces throughout Mexico. The living room’s hinged, frameless, Italian tempered glass doors offer 180-degree views that stretch from the mountains to Mismaloya Beach all the way to the city. The home even has a touch of old Hollywood and pays homage to some moviemaking bigwigs.

Old Westbury Gardens – Great Estate
This palatial mansion was built by financier John Phipps for his shipping heiress wife Margarita Grace. Their children had the biggest back yard we’ve ever seen – 160 acres of sprawling lawns, formal gardens, and tree-lined paths. The estate has been a popular movie location since Alfred Hitchcock first featured it in his 1959 film North By Northwest starring Cary Grant. Other movies shot here include Wolf starring Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer, Cruel Intentions starring Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, and The Age of Innocence starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder

The Portobello Hotel – Celebrity Hideaway
Located in London’s trendy Notting Hill district, the Portobello Hotel has been hosting movie stars, supermodels, and rock stars for 31 years. Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, Van Morrison, the Spice Girls, U2, Johnny Depp, Kate Moss, Jack Nicholson, and Francis Ford Coppola have all enjoyed the quirky and charmingly unique hotel. Known as the original eccentric outsider, the Portobello’s offbeat décor definitely makes it stand out. The rooms are unusual, imaginative and as legendary as the guests who have stayed there.

Heather Tom – Ethan Allen Makeover
For the last 12 years, Emmy winner Heather Tom has starred as Victoria Newman on the daytime drama The Young and The Restless. Off screen, she shares a lovely 1920’s home with her boyfriend James. Heather’s career is on track but her lackluster den needed a creative boost. Heather has 4 dogs so Ethan Allen designer Diane Kolesar’s mission was to make the room fabulous AND pet friendly.
