A Whimsical Dublin Home Overlooking the Sea

We're in Dublin, Ireland, exploring the vibrant and art-filled home of Jenny Tomkin. Nestled by the sea, this historic 1840s residence was lovingly transformed into a bold expression of personal style and creativity.

Jenny has infused every corner of her family home with her signature layered aesthetic—blending modern and traditional art, floral textiles and colorful ceramics. Her ever-growing collection of artwork spills across both walls and floors, creating a home that feels curated yet lived-in.

The renovation was completed in stages, carefully preserving original features like elegant fireplaces, ornate stained glass, and intricate trim and cornices. For Jenny, decorating is deeply personal, drawing inspiration from her late sister. It’s not about filling a space, but surrounding yourself with pieces you truly love.
