 But Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher spent even more time putting together their dream home than they did hitting all those life milestones.The 37-year-old actress and 43-year-old actor revealed in a cover story for Architectural Digest that they took five years to complete the project of their six-acre sustainable farmhouse property in Los Angeles. 

Many would be surprised to know that the two A-listers started out the huge undertaking like many DIYers by fleshing out their visions on independent Pinterest boards. Kunis explained: 'Building a house from the ground up is no small thing. This was either going to make us or break us.'They were happy to find out that not only did their design aesthetic align, they also both loved the work of architect Howard Backen of the Backen & Gillam Architects firm.Kutcher said: 'When we looked at each other’s boards, 90 percent of the images we selected were the same, and most of the houses we pinned were designed by Howard.'

Pinterest is an image sharing and social media service designed to enable saving and discovery of information on the internet by using images and video in the form of pinboards. The sprawling property features a main farmstyle house connected to a guesthouse/entertainment barn in addition to a barbeque pavilion. 

Of the choices made in regards to the residence, the Black Swan actress said: 'We wanted a home, not an estate.'Kutcher added: 'We wanted the house to look like an old barn, something that had been here for decades, that was then converted into a house. But it also had to feel modern and relevant.' 

The power couple also managed to get interior designer Vicky Charles of Charles & Co. who joined the project just after exiting her position as the global head of design for Soho House according to Architectural Digest.Kunis said: 'We were obsessed with Soho Farmhouse and other projects Vicky spearheaded. We loved the way she mixed fabrics, patterns, textures—really her whole aesthetic.'
