Who is Olivia Snow and what is Mother's Daughter Design?
At some point, it's almost like too calm and it's too serene. And like, where's the proof of life? Totally. Is my question. It's like a museum. It is a museum. It feels like a gallery. I want to see proof of life. I'm like, where's the art on the wall? Right. Where's this? Where's the comfy, cozy? And everything's pristine. I mean, there's nothing on her countertops.
It's almost too simple that it doesn't feel livable. Yes.
Yeah. And I think in an ideal world, your house like feels like you. And I don't feel like it feels like Kim. It just I mean, maybe it does. She's just like always in like monochromatic or like I miss Kimmy with like the mirrored glass.
But like the personality is missing years ago. Yeah, I don't think there is as much personality to it. And I think for me, personality is what makes a home special and memorable. And I think, you know, Kim's home is obviously filled with like really nice, special things.
Right.
But I also feel like it's really duplicatable. Like, yeah, I think anyone could recreate that. You could just pick all cream, everything would get a pretty similar result. Yeah. Again, it's like proof of life. Like, show me that you live here. Yeah. Like, where's that? Totally.
Let's move on to a house that's decidedly more livable. OK, with many more details, much more to feast the eyes upon, which is the abode of the one and only Gwyneth Paltrow.
I mean, her real estate portfolio. I mean, we're talking about Montecito, right? We're talking about Montecito. But there's also the Hamptons. I mean, there's not a property I wouldn't take. And I don't know if I would ever leave. Do you know that we were up in the Hamptons? I was with Courtney. Lauren was there.
And we walked into like a wine store. And Blythe Danner, her mother, was buying. I didn't know this. I know I told you this. Oh, I was listening. Sounds all right. But anyway, we walk into this wine store. Blythe Danner is in there buying a bottle of wine. We're in, like, Amagansett. No, you never told me this.
