Kristy Sarah Scott is finally giving her supporters the luxury details behind her dream home! Last August, after years of building the house from the ground up, she, Desmond Scott and their two kids moved in. Less than a year later, a cheating scandal and subsequent divorce, Kristy Sarah is still doing backflips in the lavish mansion while Desmond is whipping up compound butters in an apartment. Fast-forward to Friday (May 29). Architectural Digest gave Scott fans the inside scoop on the mega-home, from who built it to some of the pricey decorative elements in the space!

Kristy Sarah Didn’t Mention Desmond Scott In Home Feature
Kristy’s interview with Arch Digest started with her admitting that she never manifested building a home from scratch. Instead, she got the idea after touring multiple homes and falling in love with one, only for the offer to fall through later. She tapped Novi Home Builders for the construction and Nina Magon to help execute her “modern, soft and very calm” design of the inside. Years later, she’s surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows in a 7,000-square-foot home. Lots of windows were “a necessity,” she told AD.
On Instagram, Kristy Sarah shared photos AD published and captioned her post, “Years of ideating, creating, investing, taking risks, believing in myself, and building a business beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Today, AD featured a small piece of what this journey has made possible for my family, and I’m incredibly grateful. @archdigest.”
The former Mrs. Scott did not touch on how involved her ex-husband, Desmond Scott, was in bringing the three-year vision to life. However, previous social media content, has shown them walking through the home in its building process. As mentioned, he also appeared to have briefly lived in the home before their divorce earlier this year as he appeared in “move in day” content.
A Big Bag Was Spent On Decor
Kristy Sarah’s interior design includes uniform colors and tones throughout the open spaces. The living room, for example, features colors like off-white, beige, dark grey and pops of rust. But the decorative elements aren’t your budget-friendly IKEA and Wayfair finds! One of the couches pictured in her living room, an off-white bouclé, is valued at $14,760, per AD. A smaller sofa in the same space reportedly goes for $3,390. Her dining table? $1,299 at Crate & Barrel. Even her cocktail glasses are pricey. The home photoshoot by AD featured a set of four cocktail glasses valued at $135 and a teapot going for $109. Inside the home’s second office, there’s a $2,995 desk lamp.
For her sons Vance and Westin’s rooms, Kristy Sarah also ran her tab up! One of the rooms pictured in the article features a $440 throw pillow on the bed and a $699 West Elm floor rug. Vance and Westin were heavily involved in the final outcome of the rooms, Kristy said.
“When it came to their rooms, the boys had input on everything,” Kristy said. “I want them to feel free here.”
What Else Have Kristy & Desmond Been Up To?
The Houston mansion is far from Kristy’s only lavish living space! Last week, she also shared that she purchased an apartment in Miami, a goal “cross off of [her] bucket list.” Amid her divorce, the influencer has kept up with some of her chaotic trends while leaning into high-end collabs, and even poppin’ out for pleasure, like her recent yacht day with friends. In early May, she revealed that she’s been in therapy for a few weeks and that her therapist recommended a year of no dating. However, she joked about negotiating that down to 36.5 days.
“I’ve been really learning to get my butt out the house and do stuff. It’s like I went from 0 to 100. Cause I’m not even going out in Houston mostly. I am packing my bag and going across the country and hanging out,” Kristy said.
As said, Kristy kept her ex-husband out of her special feature. Still, in recent months, he’s done everything but back out of the spotlight! Amid the divorce, he’s been linked to at least two women publicly, Marissa Springer — his bar kissing buddy — and Dana Tran, the mother of Diddy’s youngest child. A few hours after Kristy posted about the Arch Digest feature, he teased a behind-the-scenes video of his recipe-filming day.
