    I have watched many Homeworthy videos and this is by far, in my humble opinion, the very best. No fluff here just down to earth and the hostess did not bore the viewers with every little thing in a room. She hit the high spots and I wanted the video to continue on when it was over. I will be watching again and again to take it all in. I know the entire home was not filmed but would have loved to see the rest. Her color and mix is wonderful...her style is her. Thank you Homeworthy ~

    One of the best of Homeworthy!
    So special to see a host/hostess actually pat and show affection to their pet(s) while giving a tour of their wonderful home. She was incredibly interesting and sweet!

    The hostess seems genuine and sweet, and I appreciate that she opened her lovely home for us. She explained the history of the house and her family’s history with this house very well. Thank you.

    The designer who owns this house is the most interesting host Homeworthy has had. I love her home and I love how she described everything.

    Georgian colonials are some of my favorite types of homes, and this home did not disappoint. What I particularly love is how cozy the rooms feel despite the large size of the overall house. You never feel like you are in the home of someone whose kids are grown. No wonder her children would rather stay at home for Christmas instead of travel. I would too😊

    Her gentle petting the adorable doggo 🐕 just told volumes about her sweet and kind nature…and her home reflects her acceptance of various cultures and her adaptable and caring attitude towards life 🏡💝

    This home was lovely and so was the hostess. Her warmth was so evident in her continued interaction with the family dog but also in the way she spoke of including all her parents and grandparents collections. Her appreciation of incorporating the cultures of her travels in paintings, fabrics and more personal collections was all evident in the furnishings and wallpapers which added layers of warmth. Loved it, loved the hostess, loved the dog!

  • @staceykeeling5842

    This made me feel at home, having grown up nearby and having lived in Newton Center and Brookline as a young adult. I love that Elizabeth incorporated so many elements of her family's world travels in her decor. Too many homes today have a cookie cutter sameness devoid of personal touches. This was the perfect mix of sophistication, homeyness, and unique art.

  • @soniatriana9091
    @soniatriana9091 11 місяців тому +20

    I totally agree with all the awesome comments on how enjoyable it was to listen to such a genuine, honest, humble & thankful woman share her thoughts on what her home & its contents mean to her & her family!! What a fascinating background she has, plus her appreciation of all her world travels has definitely resulted in a beautifully woven story of her family’s history!! Absolutely great episode👍🏻🤗🙌🏻👏🏻!!

    I'm a Boston-area native (Medford) and remember that when I was 13 my dentist lived in Chestnut Hill. I wondered whether Elizabeth Benedict was a designer from the start considering how well done the house is. It's not easy to put a lot of color and pattern together and make it look attractive and not too busy. I can't do it. I love the kitchen and the sunroom most of all. I'd have my coffee in the sunroom every morning if I lived there. Merry Christmas!

    I love the way Elizabeth incorporates so many family elements into her home. There are things everywhere and it all comes together so well. This was such an inspiration to me because I have so many things that I love, and have always thought it made my home seem cluttered if I displayed everything all at the same time. I will be changing that! What a warm and wonderful home. Thank you for the revelation!!

    It doesn’t get better than this !! I remember seeing the host’s decoupage lamp in a home decor shop in the 1980s and trying to decide where it would fit in my house .
    I adore all her passed down collections. Every thing was interesting and one of a kind . Her decor brings one home at Christmas, no trends , no themes , just lovely memories.

    Such a lovely, interesting home! She is definitely beloved by her dog😉🙂 I thought it was funny when she shared how her children didn’t want to travel on Christmas and preferred to be at home. We offered our children a trip for Christmas years ago. We were going to update passports and it would be a surprise destination....the response was shocking....a resounding “no way”......one of our sons said “ no way you’d probably just take us to museums anyway!😂

    Just a lovely home in every way and reflects a life well lived and well travelled! Just to mention: a center hall table does not have to be round. It can be a table that is long, oval but proportional to the hall itself. Just a thought ! I, too, have preserved boxwood and it always looks fabulous --- really low maintenance! Enjoy the holidays and thanks, Elizabeth!

I love a home filled with things from the past and things that are treasured throughout a life well lived. These are my favorite homes when they are filled with these little touches that all have a story. I love a maximal decor where everything is not “new” it’s collected and there are treasures everywhere with unique stories. Thank you for sharing your home I bet your kids love being there and your family just loves getting cozy with you and every room is used when your kiddos are there. Such a blessing its what I am working towards as well :)Merry Christmas

    We had the stained concrete floor ground and polished, and half the house painted. 14’6” cathedral ceiling for an open room for 5 living areas. I must have been having a nutty day. I chose Maxfield Parish for inspiration and chose a blue ceiling and pink walls. I am a maximalist and it is exhausting to move everything for painting or the floor! Everything is in the bins we bought and I am slowly curating what I want. I am releasing hats and wreaths from the house.
