i don't like featured walls and i don't
like white kitchens and i don't like
open concepts
there you go give me a room where i can
shut a door
hi i'm kirsten dunst welcome to my home
i'm jane holworth and i helped a little
bit
yeah right just a little
[Music]
i like old things
i like things that make me feel
things me it's a very emotional thing
and um jane has always understood that
part of me very well you know we started
to work together when i was 18 so i was
kind of her student in a way and she
introduced me to things that i didn't
even know existed i think we were always
been really similar in that we are
heartbroken and
relish beautiful things so if there's a
beautiful thing it doesn't matter the
age it doesn't matter the provenance
doesn't matter about whether it's
the most minute detail we can both get a
little teary-eyed and emotional and yeah
and and excited and so i think that's
where we're very similar yeah that's
where we did yeah do we go okay
that's the ship that has traveled was
that always a light it was always a
light fixture by the guests of paris and
it's really beautiful but what was
amazing about it is that some of them
are really really really over restored
and this one has shredded nails yeah
look a little like imperfect yeah yeah i
don't want to use the word sad but like
there is something more haunting about
certain things that aren't i love them
new and
you know
fixed and perfect and if she was glossy
and new it would just look pastiche and
the fact that she shows her age again is
just one of the classic moments we
bought that when you were doing more
antoinette and in my mind all i could
think of was the giant headpieces oh and
then i saw the film and you had one in
your i did and don't forget your mirror
because that's really special the mirror
was bought by my mom in a french flea
market and she has one in her house and
now i i have one yes as well so that is
a really special mirror and when i was
younger she used to tell me that i used
to dance in front of the mirror and say
that the people were like waltzing in
the mirror with me so there's probably
some
ghostly energy from it's very magical
my grandfather howard built ships he
also was an olympian before world war ii
broke out he was going to go to the
olympics for speed skating and bicycle
racing he was the fastest man on a bike
in america at one point
and when he didn't you know bike anymore
he built ships so he had to go to the
slowest sport yeah model making bottle
making sure oh my gosh and the long boat
is so interesting because we just kind
of levered it off the wall it looks like
it's just floating in air and i love
that
[Music]
ah you bought that for yourself i did i
bought this in new york this bathroom
door and it was in jackie o'nasa's
building in her apartment
and i put it in my new york apartment
and then i couldn't sell my new york
apartment with that door so yeah we took
it back home to california and now she
lives here and i was like we must frame
for the store but it also feels like it
was always here which i love yeah and
she lives she lived with jackie oh and
now she loves me
it seems perfectly apropos great
[Music]
this wallpaper is by lake august and i
just love it so much i just love that
old school like just cover the entire
entire room and wallpaper as opposed to
just like let's do one wall this is
almost as if
garbo moved into in with ronald reagan
and it has to be one part texas one part
glamour because the house is very like a
european ranch house to me a lot of it
is but i did have a pizza guy come to
the door and be like it smells like
texas out here i love that we wanted to
feel like a country road a country road
yeah yep and this played into all of
that narrative for your little man
because and also
i can tell him always that his fox is
when he's like i'm scared well he's not
really scared he just wants to sleep in
my bed but yeah
but that his foxes protect him and it's
fun because there's secret mice in there
too you know that you don't know yeah
there is what the fudge right right yeah
i didn't even know it took me about a
year before i know i was like oh my god
there's also little mice in here like
yeah waldo the mouse
we had almost completed the house and
jesse was like i have some furniture
it's over here can you go and pick it up
and bring it over and see if anything
works and i was a little horrified
because it was last minute not that any
of his furniture was bad but then i
unpacked that and i went oh my goodness
because again you come from such a
social family where i knew that the
nursery would be an epicenter for you
yes and that you could sit there and
read books read books and hang out with
the baby dennis calls it his living room
he doesn't even call it his bedroom he's
like you want to come to my living room
he says he doesn't call it his bedroom
[Music]
this cabinet was an old swedish it is
you know what it's it was in one of the
oldest castles in sweden that was one of
those ones where i was like please buy
this kirsten please trust me yeah
because you're like look at the other
side
and then look at this girl inside
because she's red so she's like almost
like a
like
yeah she's like the screen on the
outside and then she's like a little
harlot on the inside
i love that she's got so many good like
drawers and stuff in her like anything
secret or like random i'm always like
putting and you love her immediately but
she was not inexpensive because of her
provenance but you couldn't get your
hands on that now sometimes you gotta go
it's a really great investment you did
[Music]
the kitchen where do we sit today jane
brought over this tile in a bunch of
different colors there was a green there
was there was this ready brick olive
which i liked this burnt sugar i just
liked this because it reminds me of the
old like of old brick even though it's
not and it's cracked a little yeah so it
reflects light really interesting inside
that was the beginning of making a
darker kitchen which i love because well
you picked the hero that was the hero
hotel and a lot of people you have to
like say what do you think and you went
straight to it and i was like yes oh i
love it and then we found the tile as
the backsplash and that is 18th century
majolica but we just thought it looked
like a bandana yeah it had something
that had like significant history
i love the color of the bandana it also
reminds jesse of the bandanna on gus in
his favorite movie lonesome dove oh i
love that yeah but all these stories
feel so intertwined yeah don't forget
the popsicle stick lamp oh yeah that
lamp in the corner is made out of
popsicle sticks you'd call it art
right
yeah okay
[Music]
that's the challenge that was like one
of the biggest chairs i've ever
purchased well what's really funny about
that
yeah it's henningson it's his
prototypical chair he only did about 50
and there's a lot on the market so most
of them are not okay like not correct
we went down to this garage where he
kept all of his crazy moldy furniture
and i was like they're in you're like
where are we because it was kind of
crazy it was all pre hadn't been
upholstered and this was under a blanket
and i had been looking for one for years
just because i loved it and then you sat
down and i remember you almost went like
really serpentine
you crossed your leg and you went this
is the sexiest chair i've ever sat in
doing spiderman the first spiderman it
was the first time i like made like
money and you're like whoa what do you
do with this you know you buy a house
but you're too young to have a house and
i never cared about clothing or cars but
like art and furniture i knew i could
have forever and i also am home a lot
yeah so it's like to create a creative
space that makes you
inspired is cyclical kind of like with
your job kind of in a way too i think
you invested in yourself from a really
young age i mean you have some things
that you can't find now and i'm really
proud that you and i found them together
but also that they've lasted for as long
and and what has happened is exactly
what we promised ourselves which is buy
this you won't need it ever again
[Music]
this organ
jesse bought and it's possibly brian
wilson's organ but like
how do you know yeah well maybe brian
will see it and be like it was mine that
would be rap let's invite him
sitting in the um cedar soaking tub
looking up at the pine tree it feels
like you're on vacation in big sur it
doesn't it's and it's in a little nook
so it feels really precious and private
and this is where david gotcha is just
like brilliant because he segmented up
this property into like pastoral for the
kids and the pool is a little bit more
adult so like you can let the door open
and the stoop is out there when i grew
up in the valley i had a backyard that
had a little bit of an overgrown path in
the back and so it was really important
to me that there were nooks where it
felt like
not at all manicured where you could be
a kid and like walk around the backyard
and feel like you're getting lost in tom
sawyer or whatever like you know that
was very important to me to have that
kind of feeling for
my kids because la's a city and
you don't feel like you're in the city
you know i don't leave the house but you
don't feel like you're in the city the
the gate closes and it's so pastoral and
lovely and
i think that it really is successful and
that you feel like it's magical
[Music]
georgie girl georgie girl pamela weir
designed the georgie girls she was she's
a california girl she's uneducated
all i knew is that she was one of the
only woodworkers that was female and she
was considered to be like the
fashionista that was covered in sawdust
and so but this is not just a georgia
girl this was pamela's georgie girl when
they were looking for a home for her
we were really lucky and it's kind of
half
magical like little almost like an old
music box but more like it's got little
drawers as the cuffs and the head gloves
opening all the little drawers there's
always like you can't lose these drawers
so like take it and start to walk away
like put that drawer back i know it
would be sad
because it's because it's people as
jordan oh i know
[Music]
it is an old cowboy tab heather taylor
homes are really popular um
line of tablecloths line of tablecloths
thank you and
jane just takes them and turns them into
curtains and like i love that she turned
it into a shower curtain but the
funniest thing is you were moving in on
christmas day i don't know if you were
yeah i remember from new orleans from
work and you know this was the only
thing that was missing and so i took it
to all of my like please i have power
here let's get this done seamstresses
everyone was like no it's christmas eve
and my sisters who are stylists and as
you know they're like there's this one
lady and let's take it to her and we ran
in and i said i'll give you this much
money if you do it oh the condor

yeah and jane found the most fu like
porcelain california condor but like in
pale colors

like a
it's a it's a it makes me want to say
words i just can't say on a video it
made me feel that way too yeah so there
you go yeah there you go iridescent
condor soap dish yeah
[Music]
this light fixture we got it black on
cruise but i you're like it's giant it
was the first thing we bought for this
house because it was a giant spur and
you're like you have to have it and i
was like it's a cowboy spur like let me
put it in the house and i was like we
can never take that down yeah the
coolest i think i did bribe you i was
like don't believe it i'll buy it back
and you're like no you're fine get it it
it it was magnificent it was the start
of the collaboration for this household
yes the story was right a very emotional
house it is my manager eric whenever he
comes and he's like this just makes me
feel emotional it's a very emotional
house it is it is it's i think it has so
many layers and the layers go back a
long time for the house and for us and
for your furniture and for my family now
yes
it doesn't matter about time it just
matters about
beauty and maybe not so beautiful yeah
and i think that's all good together i
love it cocktail
well shaken
