James Van Der Beek and his wife Kimberly are finally settling into the home they’ve always dreamed of … just in time to hunker down there with their five boys amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“We never certainly had the time to focus on designing the house properly before. We merely hindered having adolescents and driving, ” James, 43, told archdigest.com. “Our home was a crazy jumble of segments from different places we’d lived in before, all commingling, but not very happily; I called it the Island of Misfit Furniture.”

The couple partnered up with decorator Tammy Price to create a cozy and kid-friendly residence where both parents and children — Olivia, 9, Joshua, 8, Annabel, 6, Emilia, 4, and Gwendolyn, 22 months — “wouldve been” instant at home.

“We were exhilarated Tammy wanted to work with us, ” Kimberly told the outlet. “The first thing we told her was that we needed furniture that have been able to move from room to room, indoors to out. When you’ve got five kids, and usually a houseful of friends hanging out, flexible is imperative.”

“Happily, the house has huge bones and magnanimous seats for outdoor living, so there was a lot to work with, ” Price explained.

The 1930 s Spanish Colonial-style home in Beverly Hills volunteers an tasteful and clean-living seek. But the nearly all white and neutral furniture conceals a family-friendly secret.

“We also worked a good deal of outdoor textiles to make sure everything is durable. You can scavenge the majority of members of it with soap and ocean, which is a big plus for their own families with little kids, ” says Price who preserved things visually interesting with lots of different compositions — “Kilim-covered pillows, sheepskin upholstery, flokati rugs.”

Other kid-focussed features include a puddle, teepees, lounging furniture, and a poolside daybed that James designed and built himself, which he announced his own “personal triumph.”

“The overall impression is tranquil and welcoming, but there’s still plenty of enormous intensity now, ” James added.

Being at home during the pandemic has given the family an opportunity to find their favorite brand-new blots and features.

“We took one office and plastered the floor in mattresses and pillows. It’s the ideal place to read books and watch movies, ” Kimberly explained.

Their children’s playroom has also supplied ample gap for the kids to spend time.

“That’s where the boys have pillow battles and put in their doll depots. When they have homework, we just say,’ Go to the tepee! ’ It’s perfect, ” James said.
