Actress Jennifer Carpenter's Home Makeover
O, The Oprah Magazine  |  From the Summer 2008 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine
Actress Jennifer Carpenter's dining room


All of the major pieces of furniture throughout the house—a white Saarinen dining table and Panton chairs, Ikea's white Stockholm sofa, a woven-rope West Elm bed—are neutral. "That way," Ariel explains, "the backbone of the design will work for years, even if Jennifer decides to switch her house up a bit."

Natural light pours into the dining room by day; at night, Jennifer flips on Marc Sadler's Twiggy floor lamp. A laminate-topped Eero Saarinen table and plastic Verner Panton chairs sit on a cowhide needlepoint rug from Dransfield and Ross; the oil painting is Tree by John Brown.
