Let’s talk about Lara Spencer. You know her from Good Morning America, but did you know she has a flair for home decor? Recently, the talented host gave her fans an exclusive peek into her Connecticut home, and let me tell you, it’s absolutely breathtaking. In a recent Instagram post, Lara shared a heartwarming photo that not only showcased her stunning home but also gave us a glimpse into her everyday life with her husband, Rick McVey.
A Glimpse into Everyday Life
In the picture shared on Instagram Stories on September 24, we see a more relaxed side of Lara Spencer. At 55, she’s as vibrant as ever. The photo captures her husband Rick, who’s 65, lounging on a cozy couch with their beloved pups. Rick, who she’s been married to since 2018, looks completely at ease, his feet propped up on the plush seat. It’s moments like these that remind us of the simple joys of life, surrounded by loved ones and furry friends.
The Real Dog Whisperer
Lara captioned the photo, “The real dog whisperer,” a playful nod to her husband’s undeniable charm with their dogs. You can see just how content the dogs are, sprawled out on the couch, enjoying the company of their human. The couch, adorned with elegant white and black decorative pillows, is a testament to Lara’s impeccable taste in decor. It’s not just about comfort; it’s about creating a space that tells a story.

Art and Ambiance
As you take in the scene, you can’t help but notice the unique abstract artwork displayed on the walls in sleek white frames. The large windows, framed by soft gray curtains, allow natural light to flood the room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The gray hue of the sofa perfectly complements the overall palette, tying the whole look together. It’s clear that Lara has put thought and care into every detail.
At the heart of the room sits a wooden coffee table, centered on a beautiful blueish-gray area rug. It’s not just a design piece; it’s a hub of activity. Magazines and local newspapers are scattered across the table, hinting at the couple’s shared love for reading and staying informed. This little detail adds a personal touch, making the space feel lived-in and authentic.
Lara’s Expertise in Design
It’s no surprise that Lara knows her way around a room. After all, she’s hosted Flea Market Flip on HGTV and Antiques Roadshow. Her experience shines through in every corner of her home. She also played a pivotal role in A Very Brady Renovation, where she recreated the iconic Brady home. Speaking to House Beautiful in 2019, Lara called it a “dream project.”
“I grew up watching The Brady Bunch and I love all of that vintage design,” she explained. “When they asked me to be a part of it, and specifically to be in charge of creating the vibe in the rooms with all the vintage accessories, I just thought it was a perfect fit.”
Her attention to detail was unmatched. “We were so specific and so detailed that I would get really excited about things that might not normally thrill an antique lover or flea market hunter,” she added. “But when you’re trying to recreate an iconic home, like the Brady Bunch house, finding those tiny details was like finding the Holy Grail.”
A New Chapter in Life
Life has been changing for Lara lately. She recently bid farewell to her kids, Duff and Katharine, as they headed off to college. She shares them with her ex-husband David Haffenreffer, from her marriage from 2000 to 2015. In an emotional Instagram post, Lara wrote, “College drop off complete for these two—now a senior and a sophomore!! Love you guys.”

Of course, saying goodbye wasn’t easy. In a follow-up post, she shared her feelings about the experience. “It was hard to say goodbye to my baby at college drop off, then stressful to have my flight canceled with no other flights available for the night… BUT if we moms have to be stranded, there’s no place we would rather do it. Thanks Nashville for always delivering,” she wrote, alongside photos with her friends.
