Inside the Charming Country Bungalow Dolly Parton Used to Call Home
Welcome to West Hollywood
Dolly Parton used to live in this compact and almost compound-like cottage in West Hollywood. The extensively fenced and gated property was listed at 1091 square feet, and has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. For an A list celeb, that’s pretty petite!
The “Coat of Many Colors” singer purchased this cute bungalow in 2007 for the cool price of $1.2 million. Hey – it is Hollywood after all. When listed some years later, the entertainer was asking for $1.4 million. Good investment!
Through the Grand Entrance
In order to enter Dolly Parton’s former West Hollywood bungalow, guests would pass through a private garden area towards this arch. The home has several unique details, including this beautiful bronze sun above the entryway.
Turquoise lamps hang on either side of the house’s front entrance, giving the whole area a playful desert vibe. The multiple plants and colorful pots reveal the warmth and friendliness of the singer’s home, which continues throughout each room. For some it might be cluttered, but for us, it’s utterly charming.
Kick Off Your Cowboy Boots
We’re obsessed with the shabby chic vibe of Dolly Parton’s country style bungalow. Yes, the property may be moments away from the Sunset Strip, but inside it’s all about cozy kitsch and kicking back. This room pops with light wooden window shutters, a soft pink couch, and a smattering of mismatched pillows.
Dolly Parton has never subscribed to the idea that less is more, so it’s no surprise that her home features lots of embroidery, like this striking printed armchair.
As Eclectic as the Queen of Country
This sitting room area is slightly more formal than the previous room but maintains Dolly’s shabby chic tastes. This room also features wooden floors, though the rug in this room is much more intricately patterned.
Of course, it’s hard to ignore the amount of distressed furniture in this room. The upright cabinet and coffee table both look purposely worse for wear, while the gold and red bureau adds a retro flair. It’s certainly eclectic, but what else would we expect?
Hand-Painted Floral Details
We’ve already seen various beautiful details throughout Dolly Parton’s house, and there’s more where that came from. When the “Joshua” singer moved into the property, she remodeled it and hired an artist to hand-paint dainty floral details on the living room and kitchen tiles.
These extra touches add yet more warmth to the comfy property. We don’t know about you, but we’d rather have hand-painted floral tiles than a sterile and characterless McMansion any day.
