Today, AD is welcomed by SNL star Heidi Gardner to tour her midcentury home in Kansas City. When she’s not making us laugh on ‘Saturday Night Live’, Gardner leaves NYC behind, heading back to the Midwest for a slower pace of life. The actor and comedian moved into a midcentury-modern home that soon became a disco-era fantasy with the help of Tara Davis of Cicada Company and Brooklyn-based interior designer Madelynn Hudson. From terrazzo floors to a disco ball stove hood, Gardner’s home is full of fun finishes inspired by memories of her youth and her all-time favorite movie Boogie Nights. “Having a glamorous and gregarious mom and a fashion-forward dad, their whole lives were their prime—but in the ’70s they were especially killing it,” she says. “My dream was to make the house a sexy-chic time capsule.”
