"It's an intimate room, not huge, but you can just come in and flop down and get cozy. It's a living room that gets used, as opposed to one that you just walk by. There's a little bit of everything. Harry built the house, and there's stuff from his mother and father, beautiful paintings that his family passed down generation to generation."
"The whole house took a big hit during the earthquake in 1994 and had to be redone. A wall came down - you can see a crack starting where it was. There are places on the floor - which is old stone from Italy - where you can see it too. But no major renovations since then."
"The fashion line is based on an idea of cozy, comfy, California chic, and our house is very much that. It's eclectic flea-market-meets-great-long-lasting-quality."
Lisa Rinna's living room serves as the emotional core of her Italian villa-style home shared with husband Harry Hamlin and their two daughters. The L-shaped space blends into the family and dining rooms, filled with light and personal touches accumulated over 25-30 years of residence. The room features inherited artwork passed down through Harry's family, including a painting of his great-grandfather's horse found in Europe, alongside items from his parents. The home sustained earthquake damage in 1994, visible in cracks on the stone floor and walls, but has remained largely unchanged since repairs. Rinna describes the space as eclectic and cozy, reflecting her California chic design philosophy that emphasizes comfort and quality over formality.
