My Favorite Room: In actress Eliza Coupe's living room, something comfy this way comes

"Being from New England, we did not have houses like this. The whole Spanish, stucco style. We had colonial boxes, that's what I grew up with, so I'm very drawn to this."

"I like to feel like I'm in a blanket all the time, hence the millions of pillows."

"It's dorky-dork Elizabethan fest meets weird Renaissance Faire. We have the fire going and vegan cheese, grapes and kombucha, 'cause that's the type of people we are."

Eliza Coupe, known for starring in Hulu's "Future Man," hosts Shakespearean play readings in her Brentwood living room with fellow actors including co-star Derek Wilson. Her home features Spanish stucco architecture and ornate Baroque-inspired décor, contrasting with her New England upbringing of colonial homes. Coupe's affinity for old English aesthetics stems from her New Hampshire childhood and her mother's appreciation for antique items. She creates a cozy atmosphere filled with pillows and describes the readings as a blend of Elizabethan tradition and modern sensibilities, complete with vegan cheese, grapes, and kombucha. Her parents participated in a recent Macbeth reading where Coupe performed Lady Macbeth.
