While maybe not be a household name to some, writer Ryan Murphy has brought us some of the most entertaining, twisted, inventive and hilarious television to date respectively, namely
Glee, Nip/Tuck, American Horror Story and
The New Normal. And his house in Los Angeles is pretty spectacular too.
The Hollywood Reporter recently featured his Spanish Colonial manse that serves as an inspiration for his new hit NBC show
The New Normal. A self-confessed aficionado of 20s and 30s Monterey Spanish furniture, his collection is sympatico in the home that also boasts Diane Keaton as a former owner. And the synchronicities don't stop there -
Normal is filmed in a 1927 Spanish Colonial house in Bel Air once owned and lovingly restored by Diane Keaton. Designed by production designer Tony Fanning and set decorator Bryan Venegas (of
Brothers and Sisters fame), the pair had to duplicate Monterey furnishings due to their scarcity.

A Keaton interior is known for its whimsy and Murphy's home faithfully carries on the tradition. His personal collection of photographs include black and whites of the sixties film
The Graduate, Tom Hanks sporting a pumpkin head and a young Barack Obama (the Glee creator even hosted a fund-raising party there for the President). Working with LA designer Cliff Fong, they "created eclectic interiors mixing ranch-inspired, period-correct furniture, contemporary art and photography and American Horror Story- worthy objects. Well said Hollywood Reporter. For a tour of his home, go
