I think one thing Homeworthy has illuminated for me, besides giving me a glimpse into beautiful homes of beautiful souls, is that I need to make more friends with people in their 50s and 60s. They’re so much more interesting than the people I’ve met who are my age. I think it’s the stories but also the authenticity that comes with age and feeling comfortable in your skin. Love it. Thank you!
Yes 🥰🥰🥰 I totally agree with you! I asked her to be my friend; surely she can teach a black girl 💖 how to grow beautiful flowers and plants, how to make that beautiful big bed reminds me of Goldilocks, I just want to go there n drink some porridge in her Chinese bowls n go upstairs n sleep 😴
Even people in their 70s are interesting.
I’m in that age bracket and honestly I think the boomer demographic IS interesting. This is the postwar generation, that saw huge cultural events. Moon landing, British Invasion with amazing music, Woodstock, Twiggy and 80’s Supermodels, and NewYork was in its heyday design wise. Times were good economically and people had money and brick and mortar stores were around to spend money. People went out and entertained. I wouldn’t want to be a young person these days, its a lot more challenging.
@@ron4501yes, we are.
@@lizhorton5333👏👏👏
Mrs Pardee is absolutely adorable. Her home is so elegant and grand, but her excitement to show us the details and tell us the stories behind each decision make it all seem approachable and charming. Her references to her mother warmed my heart. I bet her dinners and Christmas celebrations are out of this world! What a sweet lady and what an incredible home.
I would love for Homeworthy to show us her home at Christmas, if possible!
Enough about me..what do you think of me?
@@ashleymorgan77
Yes! Yes! A thousand times YES!
I agree. All so truly said.
@@michaeldonaher2851 If I recall her passion is for plants and flowers. If Madam Bettie were on a deserted island it struck me that she would make herself completely at home amidst the lush foliage.
If I had the opportunity to recreate an 18th Century French style home I would, in a heartbeat.
This Lady has been so gracious to bring us into her home and share tips about entertaining etc.
Will never forget the mustard yellow stone in the Kitchen. Bravo!!!
The house is stunning. But let me also mention how cute that dress is on her and how great she looks. 🌷
I was thinking the same thing while watching!
I feel like it has to be Tory Burch or Kate Spade.
I loved her dress too and thought the same. I would love to know the designer to look for something similar, it’s so pretty.
It's a trick to make a home unapologetically formal which still has ease. I'm charmed by her love of her home.
Yes. And who would think that this place wasn't built a century or so ago. Hats off to bringing pedigree to the new.
I am French and I feel like being in France in an 18the century home, Stunning house with a sole. No wonder with such a sophisticated and funny "maîtresse de maison". Bravo!!
I worked for Blackstone Catering in college and few summers after college, we did the first party at this house. It was just the house, she really had not started decorating...but the house was beautiful with all the colors and details. She was also a wonderful host to the crew.
Not surprised she treated everyone well!
She is really lovely lady.
Love Newport.
We MUST see her stunning home at Christmastime! What a joyful, light filled place.
She glides when she walks so enchantingly and casts a spell with mannerisms and movement. I had no real idea such people, places and things exist, like a fairy tale from another time. Made my struggles to overcome trauma and toxicity tolerable if not for the most blessed of moments. Thank you Homeworthy, the other kind comments that uplifted and inspired and all else that could provide this replenishing respite!
Ms. Pardee is a fun and gracious lady. I love her home. I wouldn't have even realized that it was built in the 1990's. It looks as if it was part of the Gilded Age. Brava!
Bettie Pardee is one of the most talented decorator/designers I've had the pleasure to watch. Her love of warm tones, details, and perfect proportions is stunning. Wow! What a treat to have her show her masterpiece.
Betty thank you for the beautiful tour. I enjoyed every minute. I love your China room.
😭g😁c😘c😘😁vc😘c😘
Perfect proportions?
‘It’s magical…’ we are bless indeed to be invited into her world. The attention to details and her stories and thoughtfulness… just wonderful. Would love it if we can be invited when the place is deck out for Christmas.
She was so charming showing us her home, she’s proud yet so humble. What a beautiful soul ❤️ her home is breathtaking
I like how her mother wanted her to take some of her belongings before she passed so she can see her enjoying it. The 18th century mirror Is absolutely gorgeous & I like how she decorated her kitchen with no upper cabinets & used her mothers armoire instead. I like how she said “just open two doors & everything is right there.” How clever! The library panels from her old church friends are so rich looking! The staircase from the architect does have a romantic feel! What a lovely lady, she sure does have a beautiful elegant style of decorating.
What a gracious woman! Ms.Pardee has every reason to be very proud of her beautifully considered and decorated home. In addition, her gardens are simply lush and beautiful as well. Thank you for a lovely tour as I sip my second cup of coffee on this drizzly Saturday morning! Cheers!
✨👏✨
Mrs. PARDEE is adorable and very interesting 😍. Thank 😊 you for sharing your beautiful home 🏡.
This has been my favourite home ever shown on homeworthy, infact on youtube, she is such a lovely elegant lady and her chateauesque style french home and gardens are so beautiful, all that was missing was a vinyard out back and you would think you were in the Loire Valley, so I think I will be watching this one quite afew more times as it is so breathtaking♥️🇫🇷🏰⚜️👍🏼
Exquisite, elegant and uncluttered. Bravo! Bettie's voice sounds a lot like Jane Fonda.
Some people have a way of communicating with charm and generosity of spirit. Something I'm feeling watching this.
You can feel the love in each room of this home and the extraordinary gardens. The home is beautiful and functional without being fussy. Thank you for this highly enjoyable home tour! ❤
I love how it shows how much she appreciates the beauty of her home and gardens ❤️
I love that you can't tell this house was built only 30 something years ago. It's beautiful 😍 Also, the unique wood floor layouts throughout the house is an amazing idea and execution. LOVE IT!!
A delight. Her eye for asthetic and architectural harmony is very rare. There is a genuine love she embodies for her estate. Thank you for the lovely stories and the tour.
As I was watching Ms. Pardee giving us a tour of her amazing home, I kept catching glimpses of this fun, totally casual spirit as she lovingly pointed to this or that. Ms. Pardee has bridged seamlessly the ability to welcome with warmth and casualness into this grand home with all its treasures. I know that her Mama is watching with a smile each time the story of the mirror is told and gives this lovely place just that much more magic. Thank you for allowing us to tour this amazing place!
If I could I’d give a million thumbs up! Such a warm, beautiful home. The gardens are amazing!
I'm completely inspired by this beautiful and cozy French style. Normally a house this size wouldn't feel so cozy but it really is. Simply; stunning, elegant and homey all at once.
One of the most beautiful homes I have seen in some time. The use of buttercream yellow is welcome change from all the ultra sterile white we have been forced to endure in recent years. The French and Italian furnishings are used sparingly which gives the home a light airy feel. My favorite room is the bedroom draped in buttercream bed hangings and white embroidered linens.
Were those bed hangings not utterly dreamy, big sigh!
This is an amazing story. Just looking at the details and thinking about all the craftsmen, artists and artisans that worked on that house is mind boggling. That home was built, it did not exist, and it was done with such care and love that it is hard to believe there are people with the capacity to do something like that these days. I truly admire their dedication to a project. And she was so open and interesting. May you enjoy your home as much as she does hers!
It was an amazing stroke of good fortune that the Architect had set aside that wonderful staircase.
I am pretty sure that if I were given that staircase, I would move heaven and earth to build the right building around it. That staircase is just glorious.
Huuuauuuuu….. It is a dream house, so beautiful. Stunning.
And the garden…. I have no words…. I love plants, flowers.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
What a jewel of a woman and fabulous home. So much thought went into it - her enthusiasm is wonderful. Please keep featuring places and people like her!
Finally a home built on quality and very good taste, nothing pretentious, elegant and subtle. Bravo Bettie!
What really caught my eye was the beautiful bed linen.
For me is everything, love this house so much. Living here Like living in heaven I guess.
Every piece in her home deserves attention, yet nothing fights or competes. It is perfectly understated, perfectly dramatic, perfectly situated and thoughtfully arranged. Timeless and classic elegance without being the least bit fussy. And…The floors!! 💜💜. She is a joy to listen to and learn from! Honey colors and buttercreams…what could be better? ☺️☺️
Your Mother was right, the flow of the house and the uniqueness and personal touches in each room makes your tour so fun. Thanks for sharing!
Her voice sounds like Jane Fondas 😍
Lovely Lady, lovely home. She seems very down to earth.
Your home is exquisite! French Country is my favorite style of home! I could watch and listen to you for hours! Your sweet sense of softness is refreshing! Your not boastful.... just full of joy as you speak.! You are blessed to have all of this and you blessed me by letting me into your world of beauty! Thank you ! I just love your garden.... green and white is so calming!
One of my favorite tours to date! I love how Homeworthy takes you to houses you may have otherwise only had the opportunity to see a photo or two. Such a treat! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!!
I agree with you 100%. I have never enjoyed another tour as much as I enjoyed this one. This was eye candy for me! So many beautifully decorated rooms. I loved the fabric that was in her mother’s attic. I was going through a thrift store not long ago & saw these glass squares, not knowing what they were, I put them back. I see now I passed up something I could have used to put my potted plants on. I also loved the chain of roses; such a whimsical idea. Thank you!
Every one of these house tours has been exceptional. Many thanks for doing them.
Thank you for watching!
WOW- I love Miss Bettie's home. It is so warm and inviting. It's beyond lovey, and I adore all the little surprises she has like little treasures. I can only imagine what a dinner party or Christmas gathering would be like in her home. I especially LOVE her garden spaces. What an incredible place to just wander through. I do hope @Homeworthy does a revisit during the Christmas holiday. Thanks to Bettie for opening her home for all to enjoy. She seems like she'd be so much fun to know!
I've got both her books and would LOVE her to do more because the style of HER houses and the houses in the books are far more appealing than the new build concrete and glass monstrosities that seem to congest Los Angeles (and Australia, for that matter). Beautiful architectural detail, classic craftsmanship and historically accurate style done with intelligence and flair (without looking vulgar and McMansion) are my great loves and increasingly rare to find. When people buy old properties and absolutely molest the interior, making them look like Hungarian dental clinics or lobbies of Medispas in Cheshire, I could quite literally weep. Furthermore, discussing the grotesque danger of developers and designers constantly catering to the dubious aesthetic 'tastes' of stinking rich criminal foreigners and other new money brutes from certain parts of the world is a long and juicy conversation, best conducted over a long lunch and a bottle of wine-- not a UA-cam comment section ;). I'll take Hamish Bowles over Kim Kardashian any day. I'm off to peruse Ms Bearden Pardee's website now. Thanks Homeworthy fo another really good video.
Perfectly said my feelings exactly!!
Hungarian Dental Clinics..... Laughing out loud.
Thoroughly enjoying your wit!
@@pamd1861 I wonder if this is something you agree with also:
In Australia the giant McMansions bloat out to take up almost all of the available land so you're lucky if you get a view of a fence/next door neighbour sitting on their pooper out of every window and a strip of grass as an afterthought. Maybe a little sitting area and if you're lucky, a ghastly looking lap pool that looks like an out door sunken bath right up against the back fence. (The real estate literature will refer to this as a 'luxurious outdoor swimming pool': racehorses get better training facilities). These clinical looking, soulless little prison exercise yards incarcerating a motley assortment of potted topiary trees and a row of tragically municipal looking Agapanthus are utterly out of balance with the enormous suburban "family" house looming over them like a giant faux stucco-fronted prison guard bellowing 'ten more years boys, keep it clean' and the whole thing looks sad. You need grounds, room to breathe and even stand back and appreciate. Nothing works together with these aesthetically dopey and financially ambitious projects. They're going for the Beverly Hills-Holmby Hills vibe but missing the key element: GORGEOUS LUSH LANDSCAPED GROUNDS and beautiful frontage! These gorgeous architecturally driven family homes work best when they have landscaped grounds around them not stuffed on top of each other with nothing but glorified courtyards as land. I mean, you're in the leafy green burbs of Melbourne/Sydney so why make it look like a row of bloated fancy council houses in Wolverhampton?! Trees! Grass! Gardens! Lawn! Pool entertaining area! These congested, greedy architectural proposals make me laugh to think that so many developers out there (and buyers, clearly) enjoy big white Belle Epoque mansions stuffed into tiny plots of land. Where's the intelligently designed situation within the landscape?? Gross. I'd never pay 9 million bucks for a giant Haussman inspired house in Toorak if it means I'm able to reach out of every window and punch that crappy bloody wooden fence.
CiganyWeaver and her periwinklebluespacecaravan Girl... Stop... I can’t... 🤣
OMG, as an Aussie (Perth) I can soooo relate. I live in a mid-60s home on a massive block in an inner suburb (well with the urban sprawl now considered inner), I love my yard, and over the years an increasing amount of bird life does too as we have TREES and plants and flowers. Everytime a home is sold in this area, house is demolished and the blocks are subdivided and 2 homes are built that go right to the back fence, little courtyard and maybe a couple of metres at the front. Jammed together. Then you see the new developments, small blocks and 2 story McMansions, double garage (but while 2 cars can fit, they can’t open their car doors, so 1 side is their junk and the second car in the driveway!!!!). Soulless, devoid of life and personality, rows and rows of roof as far as the eye can see as there is nowhere for an actual tree in groud except for council plantings on the verge IF there is enough space. Aweful and hurts my heart to be honest. Love your humour btw.
The love they built this home with shows. Such a beauty. Love all of the yellows that are so synonymous with provincial French design. It’s such a soothing and happy color that people are scared to use bc it’s bright but this shows that it works!
It is always a rare treasure to be hosted by the magnanimous spirit of Bettie Pardee's love-embodied spaces of harmonious presences, offering meaning and memory. Each relate to their preceding volumes while effortlessly predisposing new sentiments, and not unlike the undulating garden features. Breathtakingly sensitive and serene. Thank you for generously sharing this blessed sanctuary! x
This was yet another wonderful home tour. Ms. Pardee is a lovely, gracious woman and her home is perfection.
I may be adapting that chain with the David Austin roses idea…. That is brilliant!!!!
I avidly devour this type of content, and I feel this may be my favourite house and garden combination of all time . Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with all of us !
She is simply delightful and so welcoming into her fascinating home! The home was built with pieces of other people that give it such memories and a warm hearth!
Her home is so beautiful yet functional and so welcoming. I love the hidden storage for the tables and chairs.
Lovely. No dull grey anywhere!
Beautiful and enchanted house, so elegant without being overwelming. And Lady Pardee is so lovely, a lady with great taste.
Beautiful home and I love her dress!
Could not have said it better. I literally hopped on to make the comments you just made Jenni. This home is as approachable as she despite its haute couture kind of pedigree. Very gracious of her to invite us in for a visit.
I truly enjoyed this tour! Every piece and detail is perfectly curated. I'm stunned to learn this is a newer build! It looks as if its been there for forever. So beautiful, so lovely, well done!
I have never seen one of these stately homes that I could easily move into but this home is gorgeous and so comfortable looking, I wouldn't change one single detail. Impeccable taste.❤️🥰😍❤️And Bettie is an absolute doll, her excitement is contagious!!!! xx
what an elegant adorable lady! i could listen to her talk for hours. i really felt the love that went into this house. especially the story about the library paneling - - amazing!
Thank you so much for the tour. You are gracious ,so down to earth and friendly. Thank you.
This was a fantastic tour . She really is a gracious hostess.
It's giving 'rich auntie' - love her energy!!
I was captivated by every moment of this video. Her home and how much joy it gives her. Love the beauty of the garden and the antiques Thank you for sharing your space and story. Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your VERY beautiful home with us. It is VERY hard to get this style right but, Mrs. Pardee has done it. I love seeing homes where the owners are home proud. It doesn't have to be in a wealthy area. Being home proud can be in a one bedroom apartment. It doesn't take a lot of money either. Pick out what YOU like, NOT what you think others will be impressed by.
This channel is simply the best. Seeing people share their home is really wonderful. I just subscribed. ❤️
I believe this might just be my absolute favorite tour. This home is not only beautiful, but clearly loved by it's gracious owner. I was taken by Mrs. Pardee's love and affection for her home and her delight in sharing it. I am off to find her books!!
Everything in this home is just stunning ! Every detail is just filled with fund memories. This beautiful home looks like I’ve seen in France. I really do love this home as a antique collector . You and your family are truly blessed to live in a dream home.🙌🏽
My absolute favorite home here so far!! Love every detail! The kitchen so warm and the gardens,. Swooning...thanks for sharing this☺️
WOW! This is the most stylish and beautifully designed private house and garden that I've ever seen! Everything is having a story and designed with so much love and intention! It creates an harmonious and elegant environment pleasing to the eye and the soul! Mrs Pardee is the centerpiece in this artistic and tasteful creation! Such a pleasure to watch! Thank you for sharing, it is very inspirational!
What an example of living your affinities, interests - the things that root and nourish - pretty much without interruption or compromise. Fascinating.
I absolutely LOVE watching her excitement showing her treasures, her finds, and how much she loves and enjoys the fruits of her imagination 💕
Such a warm, beautiful and inviting home. The grand tour made me feel as if I was standing right next to our gracious host. Every single detail so intricately and methodically thought out and executed upon with love and precision. Thank you for sharing your home with us! I also await the tour of a whimsical dinner party! ❤️
I always enjoy a home tour but I especially enjoy it when the owner truly "lives" in the home and is connected to the furnishings and architecture like Mrs. Pardee obviously is. I especially appreciated her antidotes about her mother. A beautiful gracious home for a beautiful gracious lady!
What an elegant and beautiful home!
What a lovely lady! I absolutely love her gorgeous home and garden and like that she stays true to her design style! Thank you for allowing us to tour her home!🌷
What a beautiful home and a beautifully charming woman. I hope you feature her again
Hello 👋 how’re you doing?
What a treat! This just "popped" up in my feed. Drinking coffee and enjoying every minute. Thank you for a wonderful start to the day.
This is the ideal life. Such an elegant taste.
I enjoy hearing her speak as much as I enjoy looking at her home. She is so eloquent and calm. No "uhm", "like", upspeak or vocal fry that seems to be the norm now.
If this beautiful property and garden didn't charm me then the hostess certainly did. I love a well thought out and planned house. Form and function both, that's rare. Thank you 🦚🦚🦚
The storytelling homeworthy has been engaging in gets better every time. Bravo to the production every time its a hit.
Thank you so much!
My favorite tour so far. She is so personable and ehthusiastic...love her and her house!
An utterly enriching experience. Thank you Mrs Bearden Pardee for your generosity!
This was your best video by far! Please continue to produce work of this length and depth. So often I feel left wanting more when the videos only average fifteen minutes. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to beautiful living.
Hello Mrs Pardee, I'm an English lady here in France, I don't quite have the same money or house as yours but I'm definately making it a homely comfortable place for myself and my dog Arna.....thank you for opening your wonderful home, I know what my largest room can be now, a library 😀
She is absolutely lovely & I would just LOVE to talk decor with her all day! 🥰
Thank you, Mrs. Pardee, for such a gracious tour of you lovely home and gardens. I was absolutely mesmerized!
We have been subscribers since the inception of this channel and I can state unequivocally this has been our favourite segment.
Thank you!!
Lovely woman, great tour and lovely home! It's nice to see someone live in such treasures yet still make it homey!
THE TWO THINGS I LIKED BEST IN YOUR LOVELY HOME ARE THE SOFT OVAL ROOMS AND YOUR FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS. THEY REMIND ME OF THE 1980S WHEN PEOPLE WERE SO CREATIVE WITH THE FLORA SOMEHOW FLORIST HAVE LOST THAT AND ALL WE GET ARE WADS OF FLOWERS. THANK YOU FOR SHARING
What a delight to enjoy early this morning! Le Notre would have give her a stamp of approval. Thank you for sharing your magical home. I would be pleased to move in tomorrow ❤️🇫🇷🥂❤️
Candy 🤣🤣 let me know when you move in girl I will be right behind you 👏🏾 this is beautiful
@@tiffanycurtis4794 There is plenty of room for all of us 😂❤️😂
You didn't just build a home, you built a masterpiece! I love a good console table too. Good choice on the painted screen. I believe Donna Karan said that, if you find something you love, but don't know what you'd do with it, buy it anyway, it will find a place. The table storage is ingenious! The serendipitous finds of the upper class are clearly different than those of the lower. LOL! Best regards from Indiana! If you ever come this way, please stop by and visit my modest Queen Anne.
What an elegant hostess, who understands how to create living spaces for a glamorous life.
It's like you are in a beautiful dream, thank you Mrs. Pardee for inviting us in!
I love her beyond words. I want her to narrate everything I’m reading. She’s so beautiful. Seeing the world through her eyes needs to be experienced by every living being.
Loved watching this video. Loved hearing the history of this beautiful lady's home and all the magnificent antiques around each fabulous rooms. 👍🥰
What a special woman and with a special house. That her mom gifted her items when she was alive made me cry. I just lost my elegant and sparky mother a month ago. She was quite a collector; 35 years ago when I set up my first house my mother wanted me to choose 3 things from her home. She laughed and said anything was fair game except the car! So I choose a library table, a bent wood mirror and her most used cookbook published in 1957. 💛 loved this video and the similarity to our mothers.
Wonderful comment. I am so very sorry for the recent passing of your dear mother. My own dear mother is very much like her, too. I understand. It gives me such great joy to see my mother here in her. Blessings to you at this time.
One of the most beautiful, elegantly designed homes I have ever seen, and the owner is gracious, and delightful.
Quel bonheur ! This home is so well thought out, refined without being stuffy, it's just paradise. Mrs. Pardee is absolutely delightful and generous in letting us tour her home this way. Un grand merci !
Such a wonderful tour. I've always loved a French home and garden. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! Bettie is so endearing. Thank you for the tour.
I love this woman, she is like a great loving grandma to me, just by listening to her. If only she's my grandma 😊❤️ Her house is exactly how my impossible dream home looks like.
Thank you for this video. Its a beautiful heritage house, well preserved and maintained. This place would be perfect venue for reunions and special occasion celebrations. God bless you all.
I absolutely love this lady! What a dreamy home.❤️
What an absolute delight to tour such a beautiful home with such a lovely homeowner … I grew up in Mystic, CT and Newport has always been so special to me. I know every inch of the Cliff Walk and Bellevue Avenue. How incredible to see a more private home. While watching the video, I have purchased a copy of Private Newport and I am so excited to receive it. I was literally speaking with my husband this morning about the possibility of living in Newport at some point. What an absolute dream. Thank you for this amazing tour and inspiration. I will be watching it several more times. Coming home next month and I will be on the Cliff Walk, that’s for sure! Thank you for bringing my home and heart to me …
So glad you enjoyed it, Bonnie!
She is darling! And so is her home…absolutely stunning🌸❤️
What a charismatic woman this is beautiful from the inside out from the natural sunlight to the way the light shine’s on her pretty dress I enjoy watching this channel so much 👏🏾😄❤️👏🏾
Thank you!!
A lovely lady showing her lovely home! Delightful to watch.
