If that's how Stevie decorates her house, she has the most random framed movie posters in the world. Like. Ever.

Even if it's NOT Stevie's decorating, those are still weird.

What a beautiful home. I would love to have it. I think when Lindsey and Stevie first joined FM they moved into an apartment. When they got some real money, this was the house Stevie bought and lived in till around Tusk tour time. She sold it because it attracted to many hangers-on. Then she moved to a beach house in Santa Monica I believe.

Stevie Nicks' House For Sale: Fleetwood Mac Singer's Former Hollywood Hills Home Features 'Private Nude Pool' [VIDEO & PHOTOS]

By Beth Roeser | April 8, 2013 3:47 PM EDT


Stevie Nicks' former Hollywood Hills home is back on the market! Could this be the home of your Dreams? The 1920s Spanish-Moorish house on El Contento Drive has seen more than one famous resident: Vilma Banky, the legendary silent film star, once lived there. While the name might not ring as many bells in the mainstream as it used to, most will be more familiar with Steve Nicks, the rock legend and frontwoman of Fleetwood Mac who purchased the place in the late 1970s.

Stevie Nicks' former home was built in 1927 and features four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a guest apartment and office with a full kitchen and bath. The 3,538-square-foot home has tons of charm in the details, with hardwood and tile floors, French doors, lovely painted-beam ceilings, and arched windows and doorways. There's a clean, sunny, romantic feel to the house, and the kind of California Golden Age-appeal unique to these Spanish-style abodes built in 1920s and '30s Hollywood.

Stevie Nicks recorded numerous demos while she lived in this house, and that's not just according to Rumours. Sound engineer Tom Moncrieff confirmed this in a 2008 interview. "Stevie and I had a series of informal demo studios that we put together to record her songs," Moncreiff said.

"I think the first one was when she bought her first house after joining FM. It was in the Hollywood Hills, and we called it 'El Contento.' It had a separate apartment underneath where I lived, and we put a bunch of gear in there. Some important stuff came out of that place. I think that's where we did the 'Sara' demo."

She had sold the house 30 years ago.....

This is not even close to how Stevie decorates. I would guess those movie posters represent the work of whoever lives there. Maybe a screenwriter or something.

I swear I've seen a photo of Stevie taken in that bathroom, the tilework and the background look familiar but I couldn't find the photo today. Anyone else remember seeing it? God knows the woman never saw a bathroom mirror she could resist photographing as a backdrop. I found a lot of bathroom photos but not the one I was thinking of.

Thanks Fireflies. I don't have a copy of Bella Donna handy to check but while the beams seemed familiar something about it felt different.
