Jane Fonda recently announced on her blog that she is leaving Atlanta after 19 years and moving back to L.A. She says, “It has been my home and I have been very happy here. I came here with Ted Turner and when we separated, I stayed. It’s been 10 years since then. I built myself a loft that I truly thought would be my home till I died. I love it so.”
She says the decision to move to L.A. was difficult but necessary: “I decided it was time to be an actor again.” She already has several new movies coming out this year, and more in the works.
Fonda has been dating music producer Richard Perry, who also lives in L.A., and she cites him as one of her reasons for moving.
I love this fireplace wall with the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves:
Remember the fab house Fonda had as the wickedly hilarious Viola in Monster-in-Law? There was a lot of white in that decor, too, and it seemed to suit her. (You can see those pics here.)

This is strange for me to say, but I kind of like it. I’d need more color, but I love the open loft feel and that table is fabulous. LA seems a better fit for her.
I really like it, fresh, clean and airy! Very cool, and I love the art too, especially in the dining area.

The volume of the space is wonderful, though it seems to have some almost 80′s elements. But all that could be reworked…I didn’t know she was in some upcoming movies, good for her!! Janell

Saw all the photos of the loft on her blog – beautiful home but not my cup of tea. Her bed is interesting! So great that she blogs and even answers comments – I like her even more now. Fun looking at photos on her blog of her “workout” days.

It’s very pretty but not my style.

I like the space, but not loving all of the white. She needs some color in there!

Aw, man, she’s leaving Atlanta? I was about to call her up to do lunch or something.
I do like her space. It is so serene.

Love the windows and light and view…and the bookshelf/fireplace wall. The “womb” entry, not so much…

What a great space with interesting angles and spectacular view of the city. As someone else said, the decorating is not my cup of tea either. I find it rather stark and cold, but, wow, could I dress it up! Fun post. Thank you.

I love that table and chairs. I can just imagine sitting around it with a group of friends and having dinner. It seems perfect.

That loft is so fantastic, I would move in today if I could!! I can see why she would be sad to leave it, definitely.

I am SO not a contemporary kind of girl when it comes to decor, but for some reason I am in love with this loft! And I actually like the lack of color because it makes it feel calming and serene. I LOVE how she used just that touch of pink on the walls too … what a fabulous color!!!!
(Her telling us there was a mirror in the canopy of her bed … maybe a little TMI.)

Cool space, but not for me. It needs more color and design.
It looks like a shopping mall to me. A bit sterile and lacking warmth. I’m sure she’s sad to leave it, though.
I had no idea Jane Fonda had a blog. I also had no idea she loved white so much. I hope sunny California (never mind that it’s 61 degrees and overcast today) inspires her to bring a little more life into her new home! Jane, if you need some color consulting assistance, give me a call!

It’s not for me. It’s too office-y and cold.
Seems like a good place for a brainstorming business meeting but I wouldn’t want to live there and could never call it “home”.
A bit austere for me, but if I had oodles of money, I’d love it as a second or third place! I shall dream on…
I can’t stand the woman for her actions in the 70s. I can watch her movies if she is funny, and I like to see her get the wrong end of the stick in comedies such as Mother-in-Law. I don’t care where she lives.
Two words….airport terminal.

It doesn’t surprise me that she has such a cold frigid home…I really dislike pretty much everything about it.
I dont see the North Vietnamese flag anywhere?
