Today Architectural Digest is welcomed by Ray and Anna Romano to tour their serene desert home in La Quinta, California. The ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ star and his wife worked with AD100 powerhouse Nate Berkus to design a beautiful and comfortable home, perfect for hosting their expanding family as two of their four children prepare to get married. Moving away from the mid-century Americana styles you’d typically find around Palm Springs, Berkus took inspiration from Italian country homes, creating a more muted space with all the charm of the Italian countryside. Before letting Berkus and Anna take the reigns on design, Ray only had a few specific requests for his new desert oasis. “I wanted some kind of cozy feel to it. That’s all. I was very vague,” he says. “And I fell in love with a bunk bed room that we saw at the Ritz-Carlton in Sundance that my kids stayed in. And I said, ‘I want a room like that.’”

I love that his wife is just as witty as him.

The most beautiful thing shown in this video is their relationship!

Ray Romano has been one of my favourite comedians over the last 25 years. He is so effortlessly funny and seems like a humble guy.

Ray and Anna seem like nice, regular folks, even while showing us a house that few of us could ever afford.

Overall perfect. The couple. The jokes. The ambiance. The Design. The Location. Love him even more now 😂

Ray is proof that you can become very successful in Hollywood and still have a blessed life. Crucial is having a partner whose values you share.

Everything about this had me laughing- his love of bunk beds, his description of a perfect day, the talk of grandkids and the art that “looks like a smile.” I loved it.

I love it when people are wildly successful and yet still lovely, nice people. ♥️

Ray is so funny, and his Anna seems like the perfect partner for him. Love their vibe.

Maybe my favorite AD to date- being livable and lavish is hard to pull off. Bravo.

His "cozy" house being bigger than the house I see in my dreams is crazy 😢. He's a funny, unproblematic non controversial guy tho who deserves everything he has.

I actually met Ray in a restaurant 5 years ago. He was the same nice, funny, friendly guy you see here. Such a shock to see someone is truly genuine.

Great to see a Hollywood couple still married!

This is probably my favorite house I've seen on AD. Simple yet very beautiful and practical.
