Mandy Moore Looking Towards Rebuilding After Losing Home to L.A. Fires
Actress and singer Mandy Moore, who tragically lost her home in Altadena, California to the Eaton Fire in January, is now focusing on rebuilding. In a heartfelt Instagram Stories post that has since expired, Moore, 40, shared a post by her interior designer, Sarah Sherman Samuel, showcasing photos of the guest house kitchen that was once part of her home. Moore and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, had been in the process of renovating their property when the fire struck. Fellow designer Emily Farnham revealed on Instagram that the kitchen had been completed just the previous December.
In the post, Samuel expressed sadness over the loss of the guest house kitchen at their #moorespanishrevival project, which she described as a fun design concept. She shared that they only had a few unstyled iPhone snaps of the kitchen from a final visit before the fire, which did not fully capture its essence. Despite the devastation, Samuel expressed gratitude that Moore and Goldsmith have already made plans to rebuild. Moore also shared her sentiments, expressing how much she misses their home in Altadena and stating that she is looking forward to rebuilding version 2.0 with her design team.
Although Moore had previously shared that the main part of the house miraculously remained standing after the fire, she revealed on February 11th that the contents of the home were almost entirely lost due to its proximity to the flames. She shared with her followers that almost everything, possibly even the walls, would need to be disposed of. Moore acknowledged that they would be away from the property for a significant period as the cleanup and rebuilding process commences.
Reflecting on their journey with the Altadena home since discovering it in the summer of 2020, Moore lamented that they were on the verge of completing all renovations when the fire struck. Despite the setback, Moore remains resilient and hopeful for the future. She expressed gratitude for the support and plans to work with her team to rebuild and create a new version of their beloved home.
As the community rallies around those affected by the L.A. fires, Moore’s story serves as a reminder of resilience and strength in the face of adversity. The support from her design team and the determination to rebuild highlight the spirit of unity and hope in times of hardship. The journey towards rebuilding may be challenging, but Moore’s positive outlook and determination to move forward stand as a beacon of inspiration for many facing similar struggles.
In the midst of loss and devastation, Mandy Moore’s story is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to persevere and rebuild. Her journey serves as a reminder of the importance of resilience, hope, and community support in overcoming challenges. As Moore looks towards the future with a plan to rebuild, her story continues to inspire others to find strength in the face of adversity.
