The House
When Jessica and Kyle Tompane lucked into their dream location for a home — a property in Coronado, California, next door to their best friends — they set out to build a fantasy house to match.
As a designer, Jessica had done her fair share of dreaming. “I had all this pent-up energy, like, I want to use all the pretty things! ” she says. “With a brand-new house, we had the opportunity to make it uniquely us with lots of details.”
Topping her list: graphic tile, creative built-ins and wallpaper put up in unexpected ways. For furniture, she picked simple shapes and cozy textures, then went all in on ooh-where’d-you-get-that accessories, creating a welcoming place to hang out with their daughter and, of course, their nearby pals. In the Tompane house, it really is all about the small stuff. Above, Jessica and Kyle hang garland while German shepherd Turbo plays with Paisley, the couple's daughter.
