Update: Amanda Peet explains Frankie’s nursery decor
Update: Added photo of Frankie and her room.
Originally posted November 29th: Although a framed poster of Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl might seem an odd choice for a baby’s nursery, for actress Amanda Peet, 35, it makes perfect sense. In the new issue of Domino, Amanda says that she and husband David Benioff chose the artwork while she was still pregnant with their daughter, Frances ‘Frankie’ Pen, 9-months.
When I was a kid, I got very scared at night, so I obsessed over how to make Frankie’s room cheerful.
I love the movie ‘Funny Girl.’[Barbra] Streisand’s character is so silly — a true original. When David and I were making New Year’s wishes, we said, ‘Please, God, make our baby silly.’
Frankie is the first child for the couple, who were married in 2006.

Does anyone know where I can find the little hoodie Amanda Peet’s daughter is wearing in this pic? Thanks!!!
Sarah’s note: It’s a sweater dress from the Gap.

I love that she wants a silly baby. That’s what I’m aiming for with my kids.

Is it just me or is that picture airbrushed way too much? Her baby almost doesn’t look real.
Sarah’s note: It is highly airbrushed — it’s for the Gap ad campaign.

Mary, the other print in Frankie’s room looks like something from french artist Henri Matisse – look it up on art.com!

Sorry Mary, it’s actually a vintage print by Georges Braque called Deux Oiseuax (two birds) and you can find it on art.com

I have two silly girls. I didn’t think to ask for them, but I got them nonetheless. I wouldn’t change them for the world.
They are such a cute family. Frankie has the most beautiful eyes.
