Inside Ellen Pompeo’s Midcentury Malibu Beach House | Open Door | Architectural Digest
Today Architectural Digest is welcomed to Malibu by _Grey’s Anatomy_ star Ellen Pompeo for a tour of her inviting mid-century beach house. Pompeo first went to scope out the property several years earlier, when the house was originally up for sale and _Grey’s_ was still in its infancy. “I knew I couldn’t afford it, but I didn’t tell anyone that,” she confesses. When the house came back on the market in 2013, she seized the second chance. As her fans know, Pompeo is a bona fide interior-design enthusiast whose past renovations include a modern barn in Sag Harbor and her main residence, a 1920s Mediterranean-style villa in Los Angeles. The addition of her Malibu home has only added fuel to the fire. “I am entering a very exciting phase of my life, if I do say so myself.” *Kitchen* (Similar) Flint Grey Marble Bowl https://fave.co/3EIH6Hk (Similar) Etsy Set of 3 Bread Boards https://fave.co/3FmGEAh (Similar) Serene Spaces Apothecary Jars https://amzn.to/3ENJ7SD (Similar) Modern Petal Backless Leather Counter Stool https://fave.co/3EPwBBY (Similar) Diem Tumbler (Set of 4) https://fave.co/3GWyTlr (Similar) Crisp Matte Black Dinner Plate https://fave.co/3FcQ2pN CB2 Trap Pitcher https://fave.co/3VDUJP2 *Kids Bedroom* (Similar) Purple Moroccan Rug https://fave.co/3FdB17l (Similar) Geometric Grasscloth Wallpaper https://fave.co/3FdB4A3 (Similar) Lovesac Bean Bag https://fave.co/3VzxPYW Backgammon by Suzi Kondi https://fave.co/3icmI9R *Bedroom* (Similar) Ace Canopy Bed https://fave.co/3ilS4Ll (Similar) Borrego Small Round Ottoman https://fave.co/3ELupvr (Similar) Montaigne Bedside Chest https://fave.co/3VDV2ta (Similar) Black Match Striker https://fave.co/3GW7eRG Blackman Cruz Workshop Vertebrae Table Lamp https://fave.co/3VkT6Ws Lawrence of La Brea Area Rug https://fave.co/3F8pwNl *Guest House* (Similar) A Particular Kind of Heaven Print https://fave.co/3gJRs1B (Similar) Yasuni Midnight Wallpaper https://fave.co/3Vmd0Rc (Similar) Ashe Upholstered Bed https://fave.co/3EPxbzE (Similar) Tonga Pillowcase Cover Black Triangle https://fave.co/3H0FCuK (Similar) Samoa Aegean Grasscloth Wallpaper https://fave.co/3AXK9u9 *Dining Room* (Similar) Santa Rosa Plank Dining Table https://fave.co/3AUzy34 Gino Sarfatti Dining Chandelier https://fave.co/3VBQ7IZ (Similar) Fishbone Cactus, Zig Zag Epiphyllum https://fave.co/3VEdEZM (Similar) Basket Burnt Rattan Large Planter https://fave.co/3VnW9xd Mario Bellini Leather Chairs Set of 4 https://fave.co/3isxCs4 *Living Room* Surf Tribe by Stephan Vanfleteren https://amzn.to/3OOStSF (Similar) Farmhouse Beads 58in Wood Bead Garland with Tassels https://amzn.to/3OM0wQ6 De Sede DS-85 Daybed and Lounge Chair in Cognac Leather, 1960s https://fave.co/3UqSAoU Sanchez Upholstered Pouf https://fave.co/3UcMtEx (Similar) 4-Piece Gold Standing Fireplace Set https://fave.co/3Udxh9X (Similar) Chandigarh Style Small Wooden Stool https://fave.co/3VDB7ud (Similar) Seminyak Grey Indoor Outdoor Cement Planter https://fave.co/3Vb0R1f (Similar) Pottery Barn Green Moroccan Handcrafted Recycled Drinking Glasses https://fave.co/3OMxVu0 When you buy something through our retail links, we earn an affiliate commission.
