As a born and raised Angeleno, Este Haim has never strayed too far from home. While growing up in San Fernando Valley, she and her sisters, Danielle and Alana (who comprise the award-winning band HAIM), lived in a midcentury house. Ive been obsessed with fashion since I was probably in elementary school, but when it comes to home decor, it was never really something that my mom and dad were into, she says from a hotel room in London. Im not the best when it comes to that stuff, even though my grandma was an interior designer. I wish that it matriculated down to me, but it did not. It definitely matriculated down to Danielle, she has a really, really keen eye. My eye is not as keen as hers, so I knew once I bought my house that I was going to need some help.When the band isnt headlining tours across the globe (a forthcoming album is on the way as evidenced by the release of their new single Relationships), Este maintains her peace of mind from the comfort of Silverlake, where she finally bought a house around two years ago. When I come home from tour, it is the nicest feeling to have a really comfy and cozy place for me to relax in, she explains. As a touring musician, when you open the door to your house, you just want to feel like every fiber of your being is relaxed and you can let go of everything youve been carrying from tour.Ive been following [Lulu & Georgia] for almost 10 years now, so Ive always just been a fan from the sidelines, Este Haim says. They eventually reached out to me and I was fully fangirling, I was like, I love you guys. I love everything you do. I love all your collaborations. One thing led to another and I was like, Oh, wait, pop quiz, guess what? I just bought a house, I need your help.Photo courtesy of Lulu and GeorgiaAfter getting settled in with her fianc, Este had her sights set on Lulu and Georgia to furnish their humble abodeshe had already been following the brand for about a decade after repeat encounters in the homes of friends. When I first moved in, I was also traveling and touring so I had basically a mattress, an IKEA lamp, and a hot plate, Este recalls. I had a stretch of time when we were hunkering down to make the record and I could sit with the lovely gals at Lulu and Georgia... We mapped everything out over the course of a couple weeks.Not only is the musician officially a first-time homeowner, but this house also marks the first place Este has ever lived with a long-term partner. (Thankfully, he has a good eye for design, so she can leave most of the sartorial choices to him.) Im mostly particular about my plants, I try to be as good of a plant mom as I possibly can, she admits. The fun part for me now is bringing as much foliage into the house as possible and still being able to collect things along the way. Being in London, Im going to try and do a little bit of home decor shopping, but hes pretty particular and Im still learning how to live with a boy. Its an interesting process, who knew? I love my independence, so we are in a trial and error situation as we progress in me being affianced, figuring it out, but were great.
