You have to give it up to Architectural Digest for constantly finding the most creative and jaw-dropping Black celebrity homes and allowing us to live vicariously through them. Recently, Jimmy Butler granted Architectural Digest an inside scoop into his California mansion, and boy is it nothing like you’d expect!

Butler is known for his 14-year career in the NBA and his sometimes unconventional fashion statements. When he’s not on the court or guest starring in music videos, Jimmy “Buckets” is at his California dream oasis stocked with gorgeous decor and even his own coffee shop.

He first purchased his home in 2020, and since then, Butler alongside his interior designer have been putting in work to create the perfect home for the six-time NBA All-Star. Take a peek into what Butler wakes up to during the off season. In sunny California, you can never get bored!

Most people call it a foyer, but Butler says he just calls it “the beginning of a house.” To him, it’s the most “pointless” area of his home, but at least it looks nice, right?!

According to Butler, on karaoke nights, he’s in fact the best performer!

Butler told Architectural Digest he wanted his home to be “light.” So you’ll notice earth tones and shades of cream are a theme throughout his oasis.

The most impressive thing about Butler’s home is his ability to mix modern design style with everyday comfort. These bar stools are so cozy and these gorgeous chandeliers are perfect to tie in the contemporary feels of the kitchen.

In contrast to the rest of the house, Butler’s wine cellar is dark and almost sensual.

Butler jokes that he takes the credit for the interior design, but in truth, Tiffany Brooks is the mastermind behind the chic and uptempo vibes of most of the house.
