Exterior of the pink Spanish/Southern Mediterranean-style mansion on Sunset Boulevard. It contained 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, dining room, bar, library, and wine-cellar. There was also a 3-bedroom staff suite and guest house on the property. The actress had the entire place -from the surrounding walls to the actual mansion they enclosed- painted baby pink and sprinkled with the powder of crushed sandstone.
The staircase of Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay's home was decorated with her magazine covers.

The indoor fountain near the window was equipped to circulate champagne. The lettering in the arabesque above the living room fireplace commemorated her marriage to Hargitay, who did much of the handiwork in the house. Her favored motif, hearts, was quilted into the purple sofas.
The savvy bombshell wrote to over 1,500 furniture and building suppliers asking for free samples to decorate her home in exchange for promotional appearances and bragging rights. She scored over $150,000 in goods for her $76,000 mansion. The price of an average house at the time was $7,000.

Hubby Mickey.
Jayne had Hollywood's first-ever Heart-shaped pool, complete with matching Jacuzzi. Mickey had "I Love You Jaynie" written on the bottom in gold-leaf mosaic.
Sadly, it was demolished in 2002.
