“Nicole de Vésian was a very famous French garden designer. She used literally four things when designing, that was it: natural linen, leather, wood, and stone. Everything she owned was in one of those materials. Sometimes it was old stone she found on the neighbor’s property and asked if she could have it. Sometimes it was linen from a curtain that was being used as a sofa cover. She understood patina and the simplicity of those four natural elements. That is really inspiring to me.”
The wallpaper [in the bedroom] makes you feel like you’re in a jungle. I put the scary Audubon print of the condor over the bed to offset the saccharine quality of the paper. The paper is feminine, and the condor is masculine—there’s duality.

A pocket door with textured pink glass slides open to connect the closet with the master bathroom. “I spend a lot of time here,” says Tyler. “I always take big bubble baths. I read in the tub. Watch movies in the tub.” Framed photos include one of her grandmother, etiquette expert Dorothea Johnson, and one of her mother—model, musician, and author Bebe Buell. Others are stills from the film Stealing Beauty, which stars Tyler. “These are of me dressed as my character Lucy’s mother,” explains Tyler. “I have a blonde, short wig on, and I’m in a dress, smoking a long cigarette. A woman from another time.” Tyler and her architect Ben Pentreath found this vintage chandelier on one of their many visits to the famed Alfie’s Antique Market in London.
