Ashley Tisdale says she made her husband buy '400 books' for empty bookshelves before video shoot
- Ashley Tisdale revealed she asked her husband to buy "400 books" to fill empty bookshelves.
- She wanted the space to look fully decorated ahead of her Architectural Digest house tour.
Ashley Tisdale revealed that she went to great lengths to make sure her home looked polished ahead of being featured on Architectural Digest's Open Door series, where celebs show off their homes.
The "High School Musical" actress revealed that prior to the camera crew arriving, she asked her husband, Christopher French, to go to a bookstore and buy hundreds of books to fill the empty bookshelves.
"These bookshelves, I have to be honest, actually did not have books in them a couple days ago," she admitted. "I had my husband go to a bookstore and I was like, 'You need to get 400 books.'"
"Obviously my husband was like, 'We should be collecting books over time and putting them in the shelves.' And I was like, 'No, no, no, no, not when AD comes'," she joked.
Tisdale explained that after moving into her new home while seven months pregnant at the peak of the pandemic, she singlehandedly furnished the house.
"I pretty much designed this whole house through Instagram," explained Tisdale. "We weren't really going to stores and stuff, and we weren't going out. I was pregnant, so I was being super safe."
Tisdale is a budding design pro, even launching her own interior design company called Frenshe Interiors last year.
According to the company's website, Michael Tisdale, the actress' father is a contractor and has helped her with home renovation projects.
