I love seeing what interior designers do with their own space because it's often so colorful, eccentric, eclectic, and full of individualistic personality we don't see in these beige trendy spaces designed for clients. I can't say all of this is for me, but it goes together well and she's clearly passionate about what she loves and her own vision of her space.
@kyuu thank you for your reply! Maximalism, a lot of colour and pattern is certainly for the few, not the majority! Ironically I enjoy travelling to hotels that tend to me minimalist in design so I am able to experience another type of design I appreciate, but could not live in. We all can enjoy different design styles but ultimately select the one best for our own personalities.
She only mentions it briefly, but I think the trick really is to keep a cohesive palette through a smallish house. So much drama, but also very natural, repeated, balanced color choices. It's not a bright blue with a bright green... the blue is muted, though still bold enough to hold its own. It's not hot pink everywhere, but strategically placed. Absolutely beautiful example of how editing makes maximalism effective.
Yes exactly. When people who don’t yet have a good eye do color they don’t lighten or gray it down enough. You have to have all the colors in that paint mix. All her colors are rich but toned down. She knows how to mix. I would have painted the bathroom gray against white, same stunning pattern but tied into the marble herringbone tile more.
I cannot thank you enough for your insights about my designs and my home! Learning how to mix colour and pattern to have impact is an exercise that I find I need to practise constantly and has evolved over the years of designing. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!
Finally, a designer whose idea of color is not a couple of spotches of color on a white room! I have a career where I live in other people's houses that I can't paint, so when I bought my own home, I committed to painting my rooms. I live in color. I love color. I play with patterns and texture against the color. No one ever enters my home and says "this is too much color" I love what this designer has done with color. I love the patterns, the wall paper, the ceiling paint. It's stunning and warm and livable. Even the black bedroom is beautiful. She's done an awesome job making her home unique and expressive with color. I love the green family room. I love that she's mixed patterns on the upholstery and curtains and I love the green lampshades. I have two rooms in my house in bright greens. I find green to be a color I can live with for a long time without tiring of the color. My living room is lavender with a deep purple accent wall, layered with shades of purple furniture and pillows and art work which I have balanced with antiques and modern shapes.
I would love to see this channel incorporate more unique interiors like this. As much as I enjoy seeing a modern/tidy/newly renovated condo, the interior design is usually pretty similar. I love the colors and prints in this home!
This kind of colourful & whimsical sensibility is very English. Quintessence, which is a US-based design channel on UA-cam, features homes that are quirky and fun as well.
Yes, I love color, I keep seeing white walls and open concept with no personality and a brown couch and a few chairs and then a yellow pillow and calling it fun! Just horrible
@pammartin I am so pleased that you noted the Erin Rothstein painting above my fireplace! It is unexpected, fun and was meant to evoke a smile....a little quirky design humour. I love to keep it light and not be taken too seriously. Interiors are to be enjoyed and lived in, not to be sterile and looked at from a distance. Eye candy is fun!
DEAREST HOUSE & HOME , HELLO . YOU NAILED IT ! PERFECT ! I LOVE EVERYTHING . WELL DONE . THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH ME . WITH LOVE , PRAYERS , HUGS AND SWEET KISSES , FROM ME , AND MY FAMILY , " THE ROTHSCHILD'S . " FAREWELL MY LADY . 😊😍😘
agree! I've tried the white walls neutrals and I just hate it, everyone's tour on here looks like everything came from target, absolutely no color, charm..blah. That Joanna Gaines farmhouse style I can't stand either.
There's nothing wrong with white rooms as long as they're filled with colorful art objects, paintings, hand made rugs and iconic furniture. If your spaces are architecturally designed it's even better for showing them off.
@@christopherone1 baahaha that's funny my mom and aunts love Joanna Gaines style. O love white because its very glam but i do think people need just to spark it up a bit.
Love all the personality!!! I agree, people have become more comfortable with neutrals, which is beautiful .. but there's something so joyous about a room filled with colors!!
Yes to color, passion and soulful living! I cannot bear sterile white, everything open but all so empty. Thank you for this - it's very inspiring! 🙏💜💖❄💖💜🙏
@@glgardener4972 Or those who are afraid of making a mistake...I totally LOVE all the color and pattern and mix of elements! There's nothing like being surrounded with colors and patterns and items you love- THAT is what makes a home for me.
@achotman thank you so much for your enthusiasm and appreciation!! Obviously I love colour and for my personal home, I knew I needed to be surrounded by patterns layered with colour. Love that you liked it too!
Check out the young British designers on UA-cam. Granny chic maximal. So British it never went away. Refreshing change from the zen scandi neutral current stuff which I think is waning a little.
I love the fact that she is not afraid to mix color and bold designs together. We see so much mono with white, gray and black, or dark brown. This is very lively & artistic.
Gosh, feel so many older homes have been ruined with the "open" concept. Recently purchase a home, went into so many house and just had to ask why? Finally found my 1940 home without one original wall taken down - YEAH
I also love walls and room separation. Allows you to have individual spaces, varying moods, vista from room to room, and space for art. And there's nothing like good bones and classic architecture.
Oh my goodness this is the best house tour I’ve seen in a long time!! Stunning from beginning to end. she is so fun charming, I love how her home is beautiful and one of a kind but also very homey and cozy.
Why are people so afraid of colour? Everything seems so samey samey with designs featured. Maximalism is not for everyone..i appreciate what she's done. Very bold, vibrant and wow. Definitely sensory impactful!!
People aren't afraid of color...they just like more muted tones like myself. I love color; I just prefer my home to be more peaceful and not have crazy colors, patterns and stuff everywhere. It makes me feel frazzled.
Because for me having to much sensory input is not a good thing and I prefer to be able to live in a calmer environment where I can have a healthier mind.. That's not a fear, or are you claiming to know better than my psychiatrist??
@@adhinaya8621 That's completely false. I am very creative. Just because someone prefers a particular aesthetic, doesn't mean they're not creative. Everyone's different. That was very insulting.
I love your sensibility in design and color. You are a women after my own heart. An inspiration to me. I am 76 and have been chided about how I decorate. That is until I hired an interior decorator well known in my community. Gary walked into my foyer , living room and dining room and said to me “you do not need me”. I felt so validated. Ten years ago we downsized to a smaller, but not small house. I made mistakes about what I wished I had brought with me, namely some heavy draperies, that I could have reworked and a favorite overstuffed swivel rocker. After ten years and 8 major surgeries to save my life an auto immune disease, I am ready to finish unpacking and make this wonderful house my home. Your use of color, fabrics is an inspiration to me. So glad I found your channel❣️
The brilliant use of color in this otherwise small house makes it feel larger, as does linking the rooms together with tones and patterns. I also love the unique stamp of this designers personality expressed throughout the house.
I could not love this home, the color(s), and the decor anymore! The way she put everything together, the fact that she had second thoughts about her choices, but the end results say “to thine own self be true” is the way we should all approach decorating our own homes. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
FINALLY! a designer after my own heart and a house full of personality. As a fellow interior designer who is also a maximalist, i loooooved everything u did here. irrelevant that some things r not for me, the fact that they r for u and your family is the whole point. the dining room ceiling is EPIC! the wallpaper in bathroom is mind blowing! your bedroom lamps r gorgeous and your personality shines everywhere. u r the first designer ive seen on any show that i would love to become friends with. best episode so far
An exquisitely decorated, stunningly beautiful masterpiece! I admire this designer’s fearless approach to colour and pattern - a creative genius at work!
This is so vibrant and fun, but still with design principles to keep it making sense and with a cohesive feel. It looks professional without being too stuffy or over designed. Great job! 👍
From one maximalist to another (and also a dish collector): Bravo, bravo, bravo.....and wow!!! I love your house. I live just across the water in the Great Lakes state and love color.
The colors are loud but not noisy. The space is filled but not crowded. There is diversity yet it has harmony. It is busy but not exhausting. Amazing! Tastefully put together!
Great to see a home that's not following this ridiculous grey/white/black trend that everyone's into right now. Most fear color for the same reason they're afraid to feel. Color generates imagination, emotion, and life. The masses want to "fit in" so they choose neutral, lukewarm, middle of the road colors because it doesn't require them to make a firm decision or to be committed. Great job balancing those powerful colors!
I’ve saved this video to refer back to. Totally inspired by the space and the designer! The space is creative, functional for real life, and so many adoptable ideas. The designer is absolutely charming! I’d love to invite her over for dinner. Congratulations to H&H for breaking out of their white/gray/black/wood formula that they otherwise have been pushing down people’s throats. You’re maturing as a channel!
LOVE this! This is a home that has personality and feels truly lived in and I'm sure this home has hosted many fetes and I'm sure all of the objects have so many interesting stories behind them 👌 thanks for the inspiration
Although I would not decorate my home like this I’m so into this house. It’s the perfect case study of how to go full and colorful without overwhelming. It’s refreshing, vivid and unique. I really like it.
It looks rich. And, as a fan of black and white, I never would have gone with black--too dark for a small room. But hers looks nice.

I love not to see the kitchen from the front door, I love not to see the kitchen when I sit in the living room. Open concept is so hyped but after this pandemic, people need walls to filter out the house noise, so I am with you!
Yeah, who wants to be near the sights and sounds of a kitchen, not to mention the smells. I love defined rooms with a specific purpose. Unless a house is so big that it has a separate "wing" for an open kitchen/dining area, open concept usually doesn't work. I think it is something real estate people thought up to make a place look spacious.
If I'm being entirely honest, this home speaks to my soul right from the entryway monkeys on the wallpaper, down to the quirky painted bathroom and green entertainment room. Colour brings a home to life and even though it can be like a shock to the system in a sea of white, beige and bland minimalist modern homes, I think this is what I want in my home. I have somehow forgotten how much I used to love playing with colour. Growing up in high school, we moved a lot because my step-dad was a land developer and each room I had, my mom allowed me to decorate. I used to pick big, bold floral wallpaper patterns and bold paint colours to accent; then I would have a featured wall with wallpaper and paint the other walls above the chair moulding or wainscoting. It's so sad how much I had forgotten my love of colour.
Finally something different , i'm so tired of all open spaces , all white or pale interior , and barnyard doors. By the way what's the exact name of the violet-blu...ish color on the walls ? Anyone knows?
It is Jet Blue by Benjamin Moore in the living and dining room. In the hall way - it is Sporty Blue by Sherwin Williams.....and thank you for your kind words.x
I’m a kitchen bath designer. Lol those barn doors don’t give any sound proof privacy. When they put that in a master bath and your spouse trying to sleep. Flush away!
The blue and the red go so well together. The living room is very cozy. There is a lot of going on but is still in harmony and there is a lot of to admire. I love the lamps! Beautiful home!
Love, love, love the personality and color in this home!! For future videos...I'd love to see some diversity in the designers! Let's see some BIPOC designers and homeowners!
Joy, joy, joy ... would love to visit! It takes a lot of expertise, artistic sensibility and courage to design a space so cohesively in the maximalist style ... I just finished the video and am truly impressed.
I am so taken with the amplification of color in this home. There are still places for the eye to rest in this gorgeous home. The careful continuity’s between rooms is so beautifully curated. Love everything!
This house is amazing! It may be too much for some people to live with (including me), but it is bold, elegant and fun. A home should suit the people who live there, so clearly the designer and her family have a ton of personality. That this home was a labor of love shines through in every detail. Kudos!
I think I’m going to cry 😢 tears of absolute joy! No matter the struggle to scale back, color and pattern mixing gives me so much joy. Done properly, it will compare to having a well loved and seasoned wardrobe of items so fitted to your personality that new pieces fit in seemlessly. This is so cozy and yet enticing and vibrant. All I see is life happening here! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️💙🧡💙💚
Beautiful! I did the same with color in my California house 13 years ago. 2 years ago I “subdued” and I haven’t been happy since. I love this lady. I bet she has never told a lie. Awesome. 😘
The dining rm chair slipcovers were a stroke of genius! Great economical/uncommitted way to change it up when you want a different look or to lighten it up seasonally🙌🏼
I’ve been rethinking my home. It really doesn’t show much of my personality. This woman has reminded me to stay true to myself! I loved when she shared how she needed to phone a friend when she was thinking about painting her bedroom black. It turned out beautifully!
I love the Pickle too...makes me smile. The creativity of the bathroom wall is smashing...I'm always astounded when designers think of these things, it's good for me...then I can imitate! This is a boisterous house, full of vibrancy and life, it is spectacular...love it!
With all the individual tastes and style out there interior decor styles are endless......I just love Cynthia's individual style.... every room is a treasure.....
This home sings of the owners personality...joyful, warm and beautiful!!! 😍❤✨ I feel this style is perfect for these traditional homes...I mean people were colorful back then.
I love everything about this home. My family thinks I'm crazy because I have chosen to paint each room a different vibrant color. I am so glad I found this video. It is nice to know I am not alone!
How wonderful. So I am not crazy for loving color and mixed patterns. I admire the neatness of contemporary and neutrals, but I cannot live that way. I have tried but color always sneaks in. I cannot get away from the expansive feeling that bold color brings to rooms. I am now inspired to go for it in decorating my new apartment. Her home is by far the most interesting, beautiful and unexpected one I have seen on all of You Tube. It says happiness and we could all use that right about now. I love how she says we didn't grow up learning to paint in neutrals. Life was full of color fifty odd years ago, cars, homes, etc. were unique. The color Pickle, reminds me of a favorite dress I had as a kid. My favorite shade of green. I am going to go and paint my boring white and battered side table a deep red, without fear, and order curtains in a bright color. Inspired.
I enjoy rewatching this video because the colors and patterns are a joy to look at. I can’t imagining taking apart a chandelier to customize it or hand painting a room before a showing. This decorator is my hero. I wish I had her insight.
Holy Moly this was so good!!! I will be watching this over and over and over again. I live in a 1902 beautiful Victorian and am always working on keeping it 'relevant' but respect it's history and as I have pushed the envelope a bit it has transformed to a wonderful home that no longer looks outdated but rather a celebration of it's beauty. It took my husband a bit of time to agree but as he has seen the transformation he is completely on board. This designer is brilliant.
The owner has such a calm energy about her and yet her home screams revved mojo for days! I love it. I'm not a maximalist but I could live in this gorgeous, color-drenched house easily. It feels luxurious and decadent and naughty somehow. Just so much to take in and enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
My husband would absolutely love, adore and covet your choices of colors! I on the other hand am so afraid of color. Not everyone has this flair and gift for putting together a rooms with such elegance and beauty. Oh yeah, I forget the budget. 🙄 Beautiful!
I have finally met my match and bow to the master (mistress). I luv luv luv your colourful, personalized, gorgeous , one of a kind house. It is beautiful! And of course the black coloured bedroom is fabulous, the large flower painted on the wall is drop mouthed fantastic. Love how U kept the original architecture without unnecessary renovations and destroying walls and individual spaces . U R so proud of what you're done and U should be. Enjoy your home, I did!
I have saved this to watch over and over because of the color, especially the black bedroom. I am watching it while looking at Pinterest for “wallpaper on ceiling in dining room” and no kidding, this very dining room came up! That black bedroom is still my number one room that I love.
When I first bought my house 25 years ago I painted my entire living room including ceiling, cranberry! I loved it! My sofas were burgundy and I used a lot of pink around the room!
I really enjoy seeing how different people decorate their homes and I love some of the colors that she has used, and the space is quite cheerful. Honestly, though, this is a little much for me to actually live in. I like my spaces to be more serene and peaceful and I wouldn't want to clean all this stuff which would take me away from time with those I love and from my passions, but obviously it works for the owner/designer and her family, and that's what is important is to have personal spaces that work for us as individuals. I did like the idea of the simple dining chair slipcovers and may incorporate that idea as a simple way to change things up for holidays and different seasons.
I absolutely love your home, the decor is so beautiful! My brother chose grey. Everything in his home is grey on grey on grey. Can't tell him to do another colour. So to see your home it's such of breath of fresh air. I plan on incorporating more colour in my home. Wish me luck.
I am more of a minimalist, but I loved the crazy colour and pattern and of course her enthusiasm for her home is infectious. That lamp over the dinning room was stunning 😍😍😍😍. And I am a sucker for anything blue ❤️. It's an amazing home 👏👏👏👏
I absolutely loved your home. I’m always putting comment on different videos where they are void of colour. A home without colour to me is like a garden without flowers. Colour helps us grow into vibrant humans. Most of my friends tell me they’re frightened to use colours, but as you say it might only take a pot of paint to get one going. Thank you for sharing. Xx
Finally,beautiful color and imagination!! So tired of white and grey. Many houses all look the same. Just love what she has done....true artist. Joan H.
Thank god, finally a house that is not all white with only 2 pieces of furniture in it.
And a Tom Ford book....🤣😂

Color generates imagination, emotion, and life. The masses want to "fit in" so they choose neutral, lukewarm, middle of the road colors because it doesn't require them to make a firm decision or to be committed. Great job balancing those powerful colors!
She is fabulous! Colors and her sofas are so cozy and full of life!
I’ve saved this video to refer back to. Totally inspired by the space and the designer! The space is creative, functional for real life, and so many adoptable ideas. The designer is absolutely charming! I’d love to invite her over for dinner. Congratulations to H&H for breaking out of their white/gray/black/wood formula that they otherwise have been pushing down people’s throats. You’re maturing as a channel!
LOVE this! This is a home that has personality and feels truly lived in and I'm sure this home has hosted many fetes and I'm sure all of the objects have so many interesting stories behind them 👌 thanks for the inspiration
I can visualize (and almost hear) all the happy dinner parties that have been shared in the dining room.
Although I would not decorate my home like this I’m so into this house. It’s the perfect case study of how to go full and colorful without overwhelming. It’s refreshing, vivid and unique. I really like it.
Same!!! I love that I would not do my house quite like this but I enjoy seeing this so MUCH.
"Nobody falls between the cracks here!" ...love it
I love the black bedroom and the hand painted bathroom wall!
It looks rich. And, as a fan of black and white, I never would have gone with black--too dark for a small room. But hers looks nice.
I love not to see the kitchen from the front door, I love not to see the kitchen when I sit in the living room. Open concept is so hyped but after this pandemic, people need walls to filter out the house noise, so I am with you!
Well said.
Yeah, who wants to be near the sights and sounds of a kitchen, not to mention the smells. I love defined rooms with a specific purpose. Unless a house is so big that it has a separate "wing" for an open kitchen/dining area, open concept usually doesn't work. I think it is something real estate people thought up to make a place look spacious.
If I'm being entirely honest, this home speaks to my soul right from the entryway monkeys on the wallpaper, down to the quirky painted bathroom and green entertainment room. Colour brings a home to life and even though it can be like a shock to the system in a sea of white, beige and bland minimalist modern homes, I think this is what I want in my home. I have somehow forgotten how much I used to love playing with colour. Growing up in high school, we moved a lot because my step-dad was a land developer and each room I had, my mom allowed me to decorate. I used to pick big, bold floral wallpaper patterns and bold paint colours to accent; then I would have a featured wall with wallpaper and paint the other walls above the chair moulding or wainscoting. It's so sad how much I had forgotten my love of colour.
Finally something different , i'm so tired of all open spaces , all white or pale interior , and barnyard doors. By the way what's the exact name of the violet-blu...ish color on the walls ? Anyone knows?
It is Jet Blue by Benjamin Moore in the living and dining room. In the hall way - it is Sporty Blue by Sherwin Williams.....and thank you for your kind words.x
I’m a kitchen bath designer. Lol those barn doors don’t give any sound proof privacy. When they put that in a master bath and your spouse trying to sleep. Flush away!
@@pavana2810 we operate on the colour principle: if it's yellow, be mellow; if it's brown, send it down.
@@nellyh6349 At first I thought you were talking about paint colors! 😂😂
Oh I hate barn doors
WOW! I absolutely love it!! So much to look at and so much color. I think it is perfection.
The blue and the red go so well together. The living room is very cozy. There is a lot of going on but is still in harmony and there is a lot of to admire. I love the lamps! Beautiful home!
Love, love, love the personality and color in this home!!
For future videos...I'd love to see some diversity in the designers! Let's see some BIPOC designers and homeowners!
Joy, joy, joy ... would love to visit! It takes a lot of expertise, artistic sensibility and courage to design a space so cohesively in the maximalist style ... I just finished the video and am truly impressed.
I am so taken with the amplification of color in this home. There are still places for the eye to rest in this gorgeous home. The careful continuity’s between rooms is so beautifully curated. Love everything!
This house is amazing! It may be too much for some people to live with (including me), but it is bold, elegant and fun. A home should suit the people who live there, so clearly the designer and her family have a ton of personality. That this home was a labor of love shines through in every detail. Kudos!
I think I’m going to cry 😢 tears of absolute joy! No matter the struggle to scale back, color and pattern mixing gives me so much joy. Done properly, it will compare to having a well loved and seasoned wardrobe of items so fitted to your personality that new pieces fit in seemlessly. This is so cozy and yet enticing and vibrant. All I see is life happening here! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️💙🧡💙💚
Beautiful! I did the same with color in my California house 13 years ago. 2 years ago I “subdued” and I haven’t been happy since. I love this lady. I bet she has never told a lie. Awesome. 😘
Omg, how refreshing! I love her maximalist approach! That- ladies and gentlemen is courage in design! Greige begone!
“I love the more is more is more”👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💖💖💖
The dining rm chair slipcovers were a stroke of genius! Great economical/uncommitted way to change it up when you want a different look or to lighten it up seasonally🙌🏼
Her style feels like a bold new shabby chic with all that pattern that I just want to dive into! I LOVE IT!
Finally! Someone, and a designer to boot, who doesn’t want an open floor plan!!! Love it.
I’ve been rethinking my home. It really doesn’t show much of my personality. This woman has reminded me to stay true to myself! I loved when she shared how she needed to phone a friend when she was thinking about painting her bedroom black. It turned out beautifully!
Kudos to her!! This house would stress my wife out to no end! 😆 But there are parts of it I would love to live in.
I love the Pickle too...makes me smile. The creativity of the bathroom wall is smashing...I'm always astounded when designers think of these things, it's good for me...then I can imitate! This is a boisterous house, full of vibrancy and life, it is spectacular...love it!
With all the individual tastes and style out there interior decor styles are endless......I just love Cynthia's individual style.... every room is a treasure.....
So fun! Definitely a memorable and comfortable looking home.
This designer is speaking my language!!!! Yes to color! Yes to pattern and texture! Yes to PERSONALITY!!!!!
Fabulous. I think you should feel at home and love your home. She obviously does both.
This home sings of the owners personality...joyful, warm and beautiful!!! 😍❤✨ I feel this style is perfect for these traditional homes...I mean people were colorful back then.
I love everything about this home. My family thinks I'm crazy because I have chosen to paint each room a different vibrant color. I am so glad I found this video. It is nice to know I am not alone!
The Master Bedroom to me, is the BEST decorated room! While I love colors, some of the rooms can overwhelm people; I enjoy a calm, but colorful space.
How wonderful. So I am not crazy for loving color and mixed patterns. I admire the neatness of contemporary and neutrals, but I cannot live that way. I have tried but color always sneaks in. I cannot get away from the expansive feeling that bold color brings to rooms. I am now inspired to go for it in decorating my new apartment.
Her home is by far the most interesting, beautiful and unexpected one I have seen on all of You Tube. It says happiness and we could all use that right about now. I love how she says we didn't grow up learning to paint in neutrals. Life was full of color fifty odd years ago, cars, homes, etc. were unique. The color Pickle, reminds me of a favorite dress I had as a kid. My favorite shade of green.
I am going to go and paint my boring white and battered side table a deep red, without fear, and order curtains in a bright color. Inspired.
This home is absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
I enjoy rewatching this video because the colors and patterns are a joy to look at. I can’t imagining taking apart a chandelier to customize it or hand painting a room before a showing. This decorator is my hero. I wish I had her insight.
Oh...! COLOUR! So joyful. When the world seems to be awash with griege it is wonderful to see life and personality. A real home. Fabulous!
Dramatic, super-cozy, playful! That pink-red, living room ceiling is really jarring though.
Yea the pink-red ceiling is quite anxiety inducing and claustrophobic
Holy Moly this was so good!!! I will be watching this over and over and over again. I live in a 1902 beautiful Victorian and am always working on keeping it 'relevant' but respect it's history and as I have pushed the envelope a bit it has transformed to a wonderful home that no longer looks outdated but rather a celebration of it's beauty. It took my husband a bit of time to agree but as he has seen the transformation he is completely on board. This designer is brilliant.
This woman is phenomenal! I love her work! Go Cynthia, Go!
The owner has such a calm energy about her and yet her home screams revved mojo for days! I love it. I'm not a maximalist but I could live in this gorgeous, color-drenched house easily. It feels luxurious and decadent and naughty somehow. Just so much to take in and enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
Personally, I lean more towards the minimalist style... but, I love how true she is to her own style and takes risks. Good on you 👍🏻
Cynthia Ferguson is wonderfully bold and full of joy and her work is All that as well...working with her must be a rejuvenating experience.
My husband would absolutely love, adore and covet your choices of colors! I on the other hand am so afraid of color. Not everyone has this flair and gift for putting together a rooms with such elegance and beauty. Oh yeah, I forget the budget. 🙄 Beautiful!
LOVE your use of color -- good for you! Bold, fun, invigorating, distinctive, memorable -- beats the hell out of white, beige, and grey! Kudos!
I have finally met my match and bow to the master (mistress). I luv luv luv your colourful, personalized, gorgeous , one of a kind house. It is beautiful! And of course the black coloured bedroom is fabulous, the large flower painted on the wall is drop mouthed fantastic. Love how U kept the original architecture without unnecessary renovations and destroying walls and individual spaces . U R so proud of what you're done and U should be. Enjoy your home, I did!
WONDERFUL TO FIND SOMEONE THAT LIKE MYSELF DOES NOT NEED OPEN CONCEPT. THIS HOME IS JUST BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!.
I have saved this to watch over and over because of the color, especially the black bedroom. I am watching it while looking at Pinterest for “wallpaper on ceiling in dining room” and no kidding, this very dining room came up! That black bedroom is still my number one room that I love.
When I first bought my house 25 years ago I painted my entire living room including ceiling, cranberry! I loved it! My sofas were burgundy and I used a lot of pink around the room!
I really enjoy seeing how different people decorate their homes and I love some of the colors that she has used, and the space is quite cheerful. Honestly, though, this is a little much for me to actually live in. I like my spaces to be more serene and peaceful and I wouldn't want to clean all this stuff which would take me away from time with those I love and from my passions, but obviously it works for the owner/designer and her family, and that's what is important is to have personal spaces that work for us as individuals. I did like the idea of the simple dining chair slipcovers and may incorporate that idea as a simple way to change things up for holidays and different seasons.
I absolutely love your home, the decor is so beautiful! My brother chose grey. Everything in his home is grey on grey on grey. Can't tell him to do another colour. So to see your home it's such of breath of fresh air. I plan on incorporating more colour in my home. Wish me luck.
I am more of a minimalist, but I loved the crazy colour and pattern and of course her enthusiasm for her home is infectious. That lamp over the dinning room was stunning 😍😍😍😍. And I am a sucker for anything blue ❤️. It's an amazing home 👏👏👏👏
I absolutely loved your home. I’m always putting comment on different videos where they are void of colour. A home without colour to me is like a garden without flowers. Colour helps us grow into vibrant humans. Most of my friends tell me they’re frightened to use colours, but as you say it might only take a pot of paint to get one going. Thank you for sharing. Xx
Stunning! Love her use of colour and bold choices.
Finally,beautiful color and imagination!! So tired of white and grey. Many houses all look the same. Just love what she has done....true artist. Joan H.
