  • Today AD takes you to Manhattan’s Upper East Side to visit with the inimitable Shonda Rhimes for a tour of her posh new apartment. As the driving force behind a chain of hit series, most recently 'Bridgerton' and 'Inventing Anna', Rhimes is one of Hollywood’s most successful and inspiring creators. In designing her brand-new New York City apartment, Rhimes sought a space to write, create, and continue to build her successful Shondaland media empire - something she achieved with AD100 designer Michael S. Smith. The home is full of places where the single mother of three can decide to work (or daydream) as inspiration strikes. “I’m building an entire sort of universe in my mind, but I’m also trying to think of a series. It’s not just two hours, it’s not just 30 minutes; sometimes it’s 18 seasons. You really do need time and space to think about it.”
    'Inventing Anna' is available to stream now on Netflix. Season 2 of 'Bridgerton' debuts March 25th.

      Unoriginal and bought. Which is fine. Celebrities can buy anything they want.Thet have multiple homes in which they don't stay long. They buy, sell, they are not attached to their homes. Is it beautiful? Yes. But it's oh so perfect that it looks manufactured and without a soul. It shows that it is not her forever home.

    This made my heart quiver. Elegant taste. The choices tell me classy, seemingly formal, yet witty (the art). Also, the juxtaposition of muted, soft decor colors in the home of a woman who writes dialog for so many outspoken characters tell us Shonda is multi-dimensional. Like bold and soft know how to harmoniously coexist.

    Well, THAT was a generous tour. Well thought out, comfortable and cozy. I clicked on it because I guess I’m a fan (and read her book about saying yes 👍🏼 for a year). She has an outstanding art collection , ( now I’m going to be really into wallpaper ) and also loved how she had the lighting. The Murphy bed TV was a good thought as well (with its own bath 🛁) .
