Even if you didn't already know that Gary Friedman is the CEO of Restoration Hardware, a walk into his Napa Valley home might give it away.
The massive mansion called Eight Palms was fully renovated by the luxury furnishing company's design team, and it's easy to tell. Crisp lines, precise symmetry, and meticulous design details are found throughout — not to mention a very strict focus on neutral colors, like grey.
Now that Friedman has put it on the market for a whopping $10.5 million, it's a good time to get an inside look at the place. Let's take a tour.

The mansion is situated on a breathtaking property in St. Helena, in California's famous Napa Valley. Natural elements are thoughtfully showcased throughout the grounds, taking advantage of the environment.
These eight-foot black gates are complete with elegant brass hardware, and make for a dramatic entrance to the estate.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Friedman paid $5.9 million for the house in 2013. He initially planned on turning it into a private getaway for himself, but then decided to remodel and resell it. The whole process took two years to complete, and the results — like this majestic entry courtyard —are stunning.
