"The space serves as a gathering spot and relaxation center for the busy entertainer, known to moviegoers as Auntie Suga from "Next Friday." TV fans have seen her in "Raising Whitley," a reality show about unexpectedly becoming a new mom through adoption, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and Amazon's "Forever," alongside "Saturday Night Live" alums Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen."
"A granite countertop, matching one in the kitchen, stretches from one end of the living room to the other and holds two dozen pictures of "family, and friends that are like family," said Whitley, who calls herself "50-something.""
""It's the hang-out spot," Whitley said, drawing back curtains to welcome the bit of natural light attempting to power through an otherwise gloomy day. "We can look outside ... and go outside. We watch movies. People are cooking. There's a little bar area people sit at. We do use the fireplace - hoping not to burn the TV.""
Actress and comedienne Kym Whitley considers her den/living room in her Tarzana Tudor-style home the epicenter of her life. The space features chocolate suede couches, a television mounted above a red-brick fireplace, and seamlessly connects to an open kitchen and bar area. A granite countertop displays two dozen family photos and pictures of close friends. Large windows and sliding-glass doors open to a patio where Whitley feeds visiting birds and squirrels. The room serves as a multipurpose sanctuary where Whitley, her 8-year-old son Joshua, and her 18-year-old poodle Milk gather to watch movies, cook, and relax together.
