PHOTOS: Inside Dolly Parton’s Hollywood Home

In May 2014, Dolly Parton put her West Hollywood home up for sale. When a real estate agent listed the house, she included pictures of Parton's still-furnished estate. This gave fans a sneak peek into the country singer's home life and sense of style.

The $1.4 million home--which was cheap for the area--included two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and one guest house. She decorated her house with a mixture of styles, from rustic farmhouse to retro to shabby chic. Take a look at Dolly Parton's unusual but beautiful Hollywood home.

A House Worthy Of Stars

Dolly Parton lived in a luxurious estate in West Hollywood's Norma Triangle. Not only does this area draw actors and musicians alike, but it also sells homes for an average of $2 million. It's no wonder that other stars such as Marilyn Monroe have also lived there.

Parton bought the home for $1.2 million in April 2007 under a trust. In 2014, she listed the mansion for $1.35 million. According to neighbors, Natalie Wood, the star of West Side Story, grew up in the home.

The country singer's house hosted two bedrooms and two baths. Spanning 1,091 square feet, the mansion sports a gorgeous red roof and spotless white walls. The estate is accented by its surrounding trees, many of which turn orange in autumn.

The home was built and designed in classic Americana fashion, and Parton extended this style to the inside. The outside includes a private patio, shady dining area, and a long pool to cool off in. Despite being lived in, it looks fancier than most Hollywood hotels.

The mansion is guarded by a fence with deep red accents. Tall shrubs shield the patio for privacy. Once you step through the gates, you're greeted with a colorful paradise. The green cacti beautifully contrast with the red and pink wall designs.

These photos from the listing were snapped before Parton moved out. Those pots, hanging plants, and decorations are all hers. All of them add a "tropical" feeling to the home, despite the desert cacti.

If you were to step into Dolly Parton's home, you'd realize that she's a fan of pink. Frilly cushions and blush-colored lampshades remind one of '50s decor. Instead of sticking with the dramatic white-and-red palette, Parton went for a lighthearted, home-y atmosphere.

The window frames and cabinets were left with their natural wood color. Although this design is often hard to pull off, Parton effectively matched the cabinets with a wooden tissue box and cabinet.

Parton's kitchen steps out of the chic rustic decor and into a more modern design. The pastel mint color reflects 1950s shabby chic home decor, and the wooden cabinets aesthetically connect the kitchen with the rest of the living room.

Parton's kitchen has a uniquely simple appearance compared to the rest of her home. She doesn't use the mint color anywhere else--at least not as the main color. You can see Parton's spice containers, fruit bowl, and Keurig in this kitchen.

Here's Where The Magic Happens

In the left-hand corner, you can see that the pink couch matches the other warm accents of the room. The wooden chair with floral cushions reflects rural southern homes. It's the perfect setup for the Queen of Country.

Parton's second bathroom is more subdued than the first. Rather than lining the walls with color, Parton chose colorful accents to brighten the room's cream walls. The most eye-catching is probably that vase of sunflowers on the counter.

On the wall, a wooden mini-cabinet holds up some delicate succulents. A large portrait of a desert landscape fills the other part of the wall. Parton seemed to love these desert-themed artworks, as they frequently line the walls of her home.

Parton often placed artwork outside as well as inside. A painting of a bird hangs above the outdoor cabinet, and a brass sun matches the one hanging above the home's entrance. One skinny tree peeks through the overhang to provide more shade.
