"Visiting Elizabeth Taylor's Bel Air Estate\nFriends and family remember Elizabeth Taylor--and how she created a home filled with soft colors, Impressionist paintings, and personal photographs as a retreat from a whirlwind life spent in the public eye\nElizabeth Taylor\u2014wearing a custom-made Moroccan caftan that was a gift from publisher Malcolm Forbes\u2014photographed at her Bel Air estate in 1997. She redecorated the house in 2010 in collaboration with interior designer Waldo Fernandez.\nIn the living room, Holland &amp;amp; Sherry linen dresses the chairs, the curtains are a Le Gracieux print, and the table in the foreground is by Emile Gall\u00E9.\nPaintings in the room include a large landscape by Camille Pissarro and, above it, a smaller one by Vincent van Gogh. A mohair velvet from Thomas Lavin covers the sofas; the flowers are by David Jones.\nA Frans Hals portrait, David Hockney print, and Andy Warhol Liz silkscreen (a gift from the artist) are displayed in a corner of the living room. Her daughter Liza Todd Tivey sculpted the bronze horses, and the chaise longues are upholstered in a Rogers &amp;amp; Goffigon fabric.\nThe chairs in the Trophy Room are upholstered in a Larsen linen.\nFamily photos, a wealth of humanitarian awards, and Oscars are displayed throughout the room.\nBronze candleholders are displayed on the dining table.\nAt a desk that belonged to Taylor's father is a chair upholstered in a Scalamandr\u00E9 velvet; the Tiffany-style lamp was made by Taylor's son Christopher Wilding. The painting by Marcel Vert\u00E8s commemorates the birth of Liza, Taylor and Mike Todd's daughter.\nSchumacher wallpaper lines the master bedroom, and the bed is dressed in Pratesi linens; Taylor painted the deer scene as a teenager.\nPortraits of Taylor's parents at her bedside.\nA Bennison floral covers chairs in the master bedroom; the table is by Emile Gall\u00E9.\nA factice of Taylor's White Diamonds perfume sparkles beneath paintings by her mother, top, and No\u00EBl Coward.\nA Kravet embroidered-silk wall covering sheathes her dressing room; the sketches are Irene Sharaff costume designs for the 1968 Burton-Taylor film Doctor Faustus.\nTaylor's dressing table.\nFanciful tiles give the master bath a gardenlike air.\nThe climbing rose \u2018C\u00E9cile Br\u00FCnner' is trained over an arbor; the property was landscaped by Campion Walker Garden Design. Pink cestrum and gold breath of heaven are planted around the bench; \u2018Elizabeth Taylor,' a shocking-pink hybrid tea rose introduced in 1985, flourishes nearby.\nA teak table and chairs are sheltered in a thicket of giant-timber bamboo.\nRed and white snapdragons, pink-flowered abutilon, and spotted dead nettle give the effect of a colorful English herbaceous border.\nA grass path leads to the tree-shaded koi pond.\nNephew Christopher Taylor tiled the pool and designed the distinctive shell-shaped fountain; the chair cushions are made of a Sunbrella fabric."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
