Designer Leanne Ford's Latest Project Is Unlike Anything She's Ever Done I HB
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- What does a renowned designer, HGTV star, and vintage architecture lover do when given the opportunity to make over a home with no clients, no TV crew, and an unusual amount of free time? Leanne Ford dove right into this journey last spring when she decided to flip a house in her beloved hometown of Pittsburgh.
Lucky for us-and you!-Ford brought House Beautiful along to film the whole thing. Eight months, thousands of paint swatches, and a few, er, unexpected hurdles (like, removing an entire second floor) later, she's ready to unveil her charming update of a classic Sears, Roebuck & Co. bungalow.

This IS different, but great to see Leanne staying true to herself with those crisp whites, warm tones and gorgeous textures! Warm, elevated, casual luxury, the only designer I know who can make white look so warm and "livable" 😃LOVE it! From South Africa with love 🇿🇦😇
I have ALWAYS loved Leanne Fords work! Glad to see her doing what she does best...again! Just charming and very liveable!! She knows her stuff. The house is gorgeous 😍
You my favorite designer, you are so inspiring, i love everything you done
Leanne nailed the design. Her style is funky, boho, vintage, farmhouse, glam and most of all comfortable. The kitchen is incredible. The use of the white washed countertops and that hand made backsplash tile is amazing. Her home is light and bright, warm and beyond stunning.
My goodness, those kitchen counter tops are SOOOOO… beautiful 😍 great job as always. The mix of styles is all blended so well 🧘🏻♀️
Fallen in love with this home, ticks all my boxes, 👏👏👏
Brilliant all the way through. Particularly love how you made the headboard longer than the bed and included the side tables/lamps all in one tableau. Never seen that before. I would have put the curving sofa on the dining room side and angled it; the chairs near the windows to more invite in the outside. one chair probably would snug nicely into the corner to the right of the fireplace...with the other set in accordingly. Congratulations.
Such a fun happy house , love it !
Light & lovely & liveable.
I love your work❤beautiful
I love Leanne’s joy for her projects , she inspires and I’m glad to see a designer celebrating her roots and bringing old things into new life. Leanne has not let her style become dictated by trends , she just does what makes her happy and lets her creative flow.
I have the same mirror that she shows above her fireplace. I’ve tried to sell it many times and can’t get ride of it! I guess I should keep it now
L0L…the mirror is the only nice thing in that living room.
Lovely house
👏👏👏💯♥️♥️♥️
The only thing I liked is the basement. You should have respected the style of the house so it wouldn’t punch you back.
Your so amazing 😉
I love Leanne she is a breath of fresh air!!! Different? Of course!!!!. And she works great with her brother. Her personality shines within each house she does even if the house is not hers. I miss her shows. I miss her, because of the house she is for each person.
Looks great for a photo shoot but not very livable. Way too much white for my taste and not enough places for books or a cup of coffee.
I think it looks fantastic. Warm, cozy, and unique. I am so tired of seeing cookie-cutter renovations.
Boy, does she give me Diane Keaton vibes..........
I'm sad that I'm only allowed to add ONE like - there should be a LOVE-LOVE-LOVE button too! Fantastic, thanks for sharing!
Love, love. Im obsessed with Leanne’s design style. Cant wait for their TV show to start again. 🥰 i hope it does
This is a stunning home with history and warmth plus it’s a more realistic size than all these 6,000 sq ft builder-grade homes with zero soul or design we see all over social media. Let’s normalize “smaller” homes!
Still doesn’t look at a livable space, too much white for kids plus no TV that is not realistic, haha!
Hello Leslie how are you doing
So doubling a budget is not realistic??
I like it all cept the boucle chairs and couch don’t go with the era of the house/decor. Should be in a more modern house. Don’t force it, if you want that style furniture buy a house that suits it.
This is gorgeous, but not digging the curvy furniture, doesn't suit the space at all. Also, love listening to you, but ditch the awful competing "music"
This young woman reminds me of Diane Keaton. Cute home
I adore those tiles, sounds like she did them herself. Would love to see a tutorial on that project. I have wondered if I could make "stones" out of paper mache or plaster and do a faux finish on them to simulate the stone walls or backsplashes she often does. It's those natural organic textures that give me the shivers/goosebumps! Love her style!!
Not the typical IG cookie cutter home. LOVE 🤗💕
Love love love The Fords; she totally gets how to live in your home. xx When are you and Steve coming back on the UK screen xxxx?
Such a triumph Leanne! Love it!
Why didn't we get to see the back room on the first floor?!?! When she asked if we wanted to go upstairs, I said NOT YET! LOL. What a wonderful transformation!
Love the tile!
Beautiful. Give it one month with people wearing jeans, sitting on the white seating, and you have dye rubbing onto the fabric.
You know Leanne can do no wrong! LOL Waiting on the next house she does.
The two kid-size chairs pulled up to the coffee table in the basement...."adorable" is the only term that fits!
Hello Spain para cuando más episodios 2022-23 y hacer reformas en Europa?
Tus reformas son hermosas el blanco es también mi color favorito y tus decoraciones son fabulosas...me recuerdan mucho el estilo Griego España Ibiza y Mallorca...
Leanne please come back to a show! I want your visions back on TV!
I love how she's able to use so much white without it feeling sterile. I normally don't like all white because it doesn't feel homey to me but this, wow!
i feel weird to criticize but all the charm was lost...the kitchen is tiny, everything is just too disjointed to me and everything is creamy white. maybe it is considered serene but to me, boring and monotonous. neither does it feel "plush". i did loooove the backsplash but that was the only element
I’m a Ford fan but this lacked depth and creativity. It looks many projects Leanne’s done before sans second floor removal. The level of effort to achieve this outcome was actually very disappointing and predictable.
Me encanta,la sencillez,......y lo buena decoradora que es.....
Beautiful transformation! Whoever buys this house will get a treasure.
Beautiful home, design and decor.
♥️♥️♥️
LOVE the Warm Coziness, especially the curved couches, chairs and fireplace.
This is beautiful, but I have no idea how they could make this financially work in Pittsburgh. It seems like all the cost to renovate this home and add a second floor are probably way more than the home is worth
I enjoy seeing what she does with rooms. That way I know what not to do. I am not a fan of all white, I like some earthy real wood should bring in warmth into any room.
Ich mag sie einfach nicht.Kommt sehr unsympathisch rüber.
Die Sendezeit könnte besser genutzt werden ,z.B.mit Jesse und Tina ,Ken und Anita - beide Paare vermisse ich sehr!
Is Steve still working with you LeAnn?
Leanne is dream queen of cream. When your profile is a caramel cream queen.
any thoughts on a curtain color with these beige walls?
Beautiful. Never seen a basement that I wanted to spend time in until now.
I appreciated some small choices made that were present in the images taken but that weren't discuss in the comprehensibly short video. The use of the small chairs is an appropriate play of scales that also acts as a design accent and makes the whole project more warm and curated. The spaces are well thought as a whole and also in relation to each other which is not always the case for other designers. Congratulation.
Beautiful designed! Love everything!
No one does it better.
no handrail on the staircase up the walls.......not to code.
No colour. No window coverings = no privacy. Not enough counter space in the kitchen. Nothing on the walls. Ugh Cold and sterile.
hi.. i just painted my living room walls a bone white,, what color curtains do you think would do well?
Where are you guys in House Beautiful???
Garden style living is a real gem, and adds beautiful and warm touches, to any home!!
Leanne never disappoints
Incredible in so many ways! Fresh yet vintage and classic. Magic! (Except the dead brown hydrangeas all over the kitchen symbolize death. No dried flowers, such bad fang shui :) The white bright lightness of this project is amazing.
Eres la mejor desde Bilbao🥰
Beautiful as always!
My fav interior designer....
beautiful warm coziness, especially the chairs and fireplace, curved couches
found her couch on Crate and Barrell. It's $2,300, so I'll be looking for the knock-off. But this renovation is outstanding.
U are the best of all, watch u program here in Spain, u are the one that I can watch 2, 3 and more times. Dkiss repits all the time it's shows, but I can watch yours bunch of times and I always looove them.
U are the best 💓
I see why the show was cancelled
This is sooooo beautiful ❤❤❤
Definitely intrigued by the floors, the countertop, and the Surecrete idea. And I would for sure do a "wetroom" bath. The separate but double sinks and vintage doors work for me. I really don't picture the kids hanging out in that basement. And it's hard to belief that peaked tower couldn't be saved.
Since her show ended I completely forgot about how much I loved her decorating. Her interaction with her brother was so fun & they make a great team. Leanne, you are amazing, so talented & I could watch your videos forever. Happy to subscribe & look forward to more beautiful decorating.
Where are the handrails for this steep staircase, did I miss it?? Every staircase should have handrail(s) for safety.
I love this home and Leanne's decorating! So warm and inviting! I love it so well I am decorating this way! Keep the decorating coming! Thank you for sharing!
Maravilhosa!!!!
Leanne I love your style , black and white amazing love to see you working
Leanne is the best in my opinion. Never overdone. Always soulful and cosy. Not one of her design is the same. She rocks. ❤
Love Leanne and the way she designs!
Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this. 😀🙌🙌🙌
I love her rooms and vintage industrial fixtures mixed with modern but always imagine adding more color and wood tones.
The art piece in the cozy room is exactly what I’ve been seeking. Any idea where it’s from or the artist?
I would've bought that house unseen too, knowing Leanne was designing it!!
Leanne você é a melhor !!! Amo seu estilo ...completamente diferente de tudo ! Moderno e elegante !
Love Leanne!!!
Gorgeous ,but i was viewing to see how one incorporates a tv into a space. I didn’t see a tv or where one could sit?
I love it!!
❤❤❤❤
I love her style. She’s so fun. I love their show on hgtv. Hope they come back.
Whatever character that could have been put back into this historical home is NOWHERE to be seen. It looks identical to be the thousand cookie-cutter houses in my new-build neighborhood. I initially thought the furniture came from IKEA and Target, wasn’t surprised to hear it’s all from C&B. My girl needs to get off of Instagram, it’s really messing with her style intuition.
EDIT: the basement was everything I wanted in a Ford house… See those walls= *character*!
To my eyes, this home is loaded with character.To each their own...
Well she has a collaboration with C&B... so there's that. ;). Oh, and agreed. I see nothing historic about the interior of this home at all. I really used to love Leanne's style, but this house just felt like a revamp of Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic ....the later years....
❣
I just got Pella windows. Love them.
Sooo glad to see you here!! We need a video everyday!!!👏👏👏👏
Gorgeous!!! Absolutely Gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing. Would you be open to share the brand, kind, and colors of the white paints?
She says a couple of times that they are Behr paints. One is Crisp Linen and I can’t remember the other one but she says it when she’s talking about the living room.
El espejo está horrible
Everything is horrible I'll never let this woman do my house
Amazing. So cozy. Love it. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Behr Crisp Linen
