Take an in-depth look at the Martha's Vineyard estate of actress Meg Ryan, who alongside designer Marsha Russell renovated and decorated a vintage home to highlight the quality of light pouring in from her pristine grounds.

Meg used loads of white paint, billowy gray draperies, soft furnishings, and era-appropriate light fixtures to create a relaxing space, a foil to her bubbly Hollywood persona. She chose an open floorplan that exposes the true structure of the house. This approach was taken only after Meg lived there for a year to learn about how the place really gets used - great advice for any homeowner.
