Following the inexplicable success of Kim Kardashian’s guided tour of her fridge and pantry (seriously, people, it might be time to get a hobby), Kim has shared more pictures of her home.
The $60 million mansion, which Kanye describes as a “futuristic Belgian monastery”, featured in Architectural Digest‘s March ‘Star Power’ issue.
Kim thinks this is a dream come true, so she posted some of the pictures from the feature on Twitter.
People with more from Kim about why they decided to buy the house in the first place:
“We passed by this incredibly extravagant house while strolling through the neighborhood. I’d just had North, and we were doing a lot of walking so I could work off some of the baby fat,” Kim told AD of first spotting the home in 2013.
“I didn’t really know Kanye’s style at that point, but I thought the house was perfection. Kanye was less enthusiastic. He said, ‘It’s workable.’”
When was the last time you saw Kanye looking enthusiastic about anything? Well, it turns out Kim is the Kanye whisperer:
For Kanye, who Kim says is typically subdued, the lukewarm reception actually meant he was all in, she explains in an accompanying video interview.
The couple decided to purchase the house as a major overhaul project, turning the suburban “McMansion” — as they describe its pre-renovation state — into a space in which they could raise their growing family and feel at ease.
You have to have a lot of money to feel at ease in an all-white mansion when you have children under the age of four.
Let’s hear from Kanye, who took a break from thinking he’s the next messiah to talk about the house:
“The kids ride their scooters down the hallways and jump around on top of the low Axel tables, which they use as a kind of stage,” Kanye says. “This house may be a case study, but our vision for it was built around our family.”
“We’re not going to be fanatics,” Kim says.
Kanye agrees: “Everything we do is an art installation and a playroom.”
Cool.
The one exception to the all-white decor is North West’s bedroom which is all pink:
At least they don’t have to worry about the curtains clashing with the rug.
It’s tough being a celebrity.
To finish, here’s Architectural Digest’s video feature, showing Kim and Kanye taking an “illuminating personal design quiz”.
