It all started when the pop culture icon, Pamela Anderson — who rose to fame by playing CJ Parker in Baywatch and was the epitome of high-octane glamour in the 90s — moved from a beach house in California to a coastal farmhouse in Canada. The plot twist? The seven-acre property in Ladysmith on Vancouver Island was actually the childhood home she bought from her grandparents over 30 years ago, and she's since renovated it with a traditional aesthetic.

Fully embracing her homemaker era, Pamela has now collaborated with Olive Ateliers — an LA-based lifestyle brand and experiential retailer — on her first-ever furniture and decor collection called The Sentimentalist. Launched on April 8, the designs — which comprise 40 indoor-outdoor pieces inspired by quiet rituals, rooted in nostalgia, and designed for effortless living — range from loungers and reading chairs to loveseats and side tables, plus a lamp, baskets, and even a pillow. There’s a focus on natural materials — think rattan and teak — while upholstery comes in classic ivory-and-blue stripes. Yes, it's as classic and timeless as its muse.

“I grew up by the sea, and I remember our tiny cabin on the dock where the wood turned silver from years of salt and weather,” recalls Pamela. “I’ve always been drawn to things that age and soften, while the best pieces become part of your rituals. This collection feels like home to me. It’s unpretentious and a little French. It’s meant to be used, worn in and lived with.”

Shop the Look in the UK

While devastatingly, you can’t shop The Sentimentalist from the UK, you can still get inspired by the collection with similarly effortless pieces. To help, I've sourced a few pieces designed for indoor-outdoor living that you can shop below — think on-trend but timeless rattan, curves, and neutrals.

Not quite sure how to fully embrace Pamela's cozy, traditional style in your own home? It's possible to make it work in a more modern way; it's just about layering and providing enough visual contrast so it feels authentic, rather than a pastiche.
