Actress Jennifer Carpenter's living room

There's a giddiness to this bachelorette pad; it's everywhere, from the Polaroid portraits of friends on the bedroom wall (Jennifer takes her camera to all of her red carpet events) to the eye-catching Tord Boontje barrel chairs that flank the backyard tepee ("I saw those in New York and immediately thought, 'They're perfect for Jennifer,'" Ariel says). But there's also a distinct sense that Jennifer learned a lot about design through her collaboration with Ariel. The actress not only knows what she likes now, but to go after it when she sees it: Pointing to a pile of rock-shaped pillows in the living room, Jennifer says, "Before, I would have seen those at the store and said, 'Those are cool,' and then gone straight for the sale rack."

In Jennifer's living room, an Ikea sofa, felt rock-shaped pillows, and a metallic stool by Ligne Roset provide plenty of seating. A framed game board from her childhood hangs above a photo of her latest obsession, Bob Dylan.
