Bright and Breezy

Actress Robbin Tuney’s home in the most recent InStyle is such a  great example of how a home can create a feeling. To me, the second I looked at this space I thought “happy”, “fun”, “easy going”.  Homes can certainly reflect a lot about the owner’s personality and demeanor (mine says “lazy”, “ADD” and “possibly bi-polar”).  I really am loving the abundance of light, carefully chosen modern pieces and small pops of bright color. Oh, and Robin’s fabulous vintage look with her dresses and hair- yes please!scan-4

  1. The chalkboard in the kitchen is so much fun! You’re right, this home is so light and airy!

  2. I love the first room. I also love blackboards. I have made so many framed blackboards for gifts. So bright!

    Loved seeing this in In Style! Such a contrast to the character she plays on TV!

    Love her aesthetic, thanks for posting this!

  5. I too love that her home is seemingly so against type to her Mentalist character, who’s inability to smile always bugs.

  6. I like the mix of color and modern furniture. And the chalkboard in the kitchen is a great idea, it helps with to do lists and would make baking a lot easier by being able to write out instructions and ingredients.

    Love the use of color, sometimes I wish I was more courageous with my color choices!

    And I love those pink and green ikat pillows — I think Calico Corners sells that fabric.

    is it just me or is robin tunney turning into zooey deschanel? or vice versa?
    love her house!

  9. I just looked at this article too. I love everything about her space! I especially enjoy how she (or her behind-the-scenes designer) manages to offset the modern with the vintage perfectly. It’s what I constantly strive for and never manage to accomplish. :(

    I just laughed out loud at your description of how your house reflects your personality and demeanor….lazy, ADD, possibly bi-polar….I think those are also what my home reflects. Sad, but funny, truth.

  11. That living room looks so cozy. Who ever knew wood paneling could be so chic? @Sami – totally with you on the Zooey Deschanel thing!

    Love this – also really love that blue and white pillow, but the link takes me to the arc lamp. :( Where can I find the pillow?

  13. I love this house and since I haven’t been here in a couple weeks, I’m not sure when you changed the look of your blog but it looks GREAT!

  18. Love the Missoni towells in her bathroom .

    Beautiful! I am so jealous of that amazing outdoor space!

  20. Cecilia says:

    That really is a great home! I have the InStyle sitting on my desk, must flip through it now…you’ve inspired me. xoxo

    Very cute ideas. I just painted my 3 year olds daughter “big girl” bed in that same exact ocean blue. It’s beautiful.

    I love the white chair. I actually saw one similar to that at HAUS furniture in Los Angeles, for a decent price at that.
