Anna Kendrick lands Ellen DeGeneres as her interior decorator
Actress Anna Kendrick has landed some star help to decorate her new home - comedienne and passionate interior designer Ellen Degeneres has offered to take charge of the project.
The Twilight star recently moved into a new property in Los Angeles, but she's struggled to find the time to focus on her decor needs and moaned to DeGeneres about the difficulties she has been experiencing when she appeared on the funnywoman's talk show on Wednesday (09May12).
She explained, "I just moved in a week ago... Right now I have a
mattress on the floor and just suitcases, well, cardboard boxes
along the wall...
"When you move into a new house it's like every day you discover,
'Oh, this faucet is leaky' or 'This light's out' and it's my
responsibility now. It's terrifying."
Kendrick admits she has no idea where to start when it comes to
decorating her home, but she hopes to model her place on DeGeneres'
Beverly Hills property, which was featured in trade paper
Architectural Digest last November (11).
She told the TV presenter, "I don't really know what I'm doing, but
I'm trying to learn. I'm sort of buying design magazines and stuff
and I have your Architectural Digest on my vision board. Your house
is on my vision board. Is this creepy, or flattering?"
DeGeneres was delighted to hear Kendrick is using her home as
inspiration and when the actress jokingly asked if she'd like to do
her house, the comedienne jumped at the chance, insisting, "I would
love to. I really would... If that's your vision, I will do your
house."
She added, "It's flattering, because it's my passion, I really love
doing houses. I love decorating and I love buying houses."
