My Favorite Room: Maura Tierney finds a simple serenity in Venice
"It's very sparse, really very simple. There's so much of the outside that comes inside the house. There are nice, pretty, big trees - I live on the canal, and not everyone has trees in front of their house. It's less about how the room is decorated and more that you can see the trees, the canal and the bridge."
"There's some art in there that I like a lot, some taxidermy - two squirrels talking to each other in a little diorama, a little baby chick. There's a Julian Schnabel painting that's really beautiful, and I never get tired of looking at it. And a Heather Barron multimedia piece that's very calm, pretty, feminine that juxtaposes well with the other stuff, which is rather masculine."
"I just respond to what I love. Sometimes it's taxidermy, and sometimes it's Julian Schnabel."
Maura Tierney, known for roles in "ER," "NewsRadio," and "The Affair," maintains a Venice home as her Southern California retreat despite spending more time in New York for theater and television work. Her living room features a wall of glass doors designed by Emily Kovner Architectural that opens to a canal-facing patio, with modernist furniture selected by designer Michael Angelo Stuno. The space emphasizes simplicity and natural views of trees, the canal, and bridge rather than elaborate decoration. Tierney has curated the room with personal art pieces including taxidermy specimens, a Julian Schnabel painting, and a Heather Barron multimedia piece that balances masculine and feminine aesthetics. She sources unique items from Los Angeles flea markets, which she finds more abundant than those in New York.
