HOUSE TOUR | The Enchanting London Townhouse of Cook Book Author Skye McAlpine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2023
- Renowned cook book author and Tavola founder Skye McAlpine brings us inside her divine Victorian home in the heart of Southwest London.

When Skye first acquired this home, it lacked the original character one would hope to find in a Victorian house -- instead sporting a stark and contemporary aesthetic. However, Skye, with her keen eye for design, wasted no time infusing the space with a touch of magic, transforming it into a cheerful, vibrant and snug abode while preserving its remarkable structural features.
Skye’s formative years in Venice, Italy, have played a pivotal role in shaping her design philosophy and creative vision. Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a kitchen bathed in a dreamy custard hue - a space that Skye meticulously revamped to serve as a flexible space perfect for hosting gatherings and soirees. The interiors are adorned with exquisite hand-painted wallpapers, charming chintzy fabrics, and an array of vintage furnishings that collectively epitomize the timeless allure of classic English design. Enjoy!

Why do people watch these videos and then rip apart the generous people who open their homes? If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say it. Kindergarten lessons. This is another lovely video, thanks Homeworthy! ❤
Well we are adults and we leave our opinion! And if I'm not 🤪I thought that's what the comments are for! If you don't like others opinions stop reading the comments are just keep it moving! Grown people lessons!😁
Tbh I can’t see any in this section, but understand the gist👍
Have you actually read the comments, though? They all seem gushingly positive to me😊
@@MegInBritain yes and you are right, focusing on the positive is best!
Sweet and sour comments. Like the Chinese dish. I think everybody can air their opinion. That's why comment section is about.
I may have seen episodes where I loved the home more than this, but I have never seen one where I fell more in love with the owner. She is so grounded, talented, and delightful! Here is a person who seems to just GET it, and it was so refreshing to have a host who LOVES everything in her home, not because someone else tells her it's valuable, but because she knows who she is and therefore, knows what she loves.
beautifully said
What a lovely episode, especially when the guest speaks from the soul, rather than naming and showing off belongings, as seen often!
Yes, I noticed this too. I'm put off when it is constant name dropping = £££ spent rather than simply loving the item.
She's amazing. This is wonderful 💯! The house is cozy.." I love clutter"... Ice cream colors, buttercream yellow.. so sweet and utterly charming.. love a home.. not cold and sterile... So good!
Skye has nothing to prove in terms of possessions, nor in terms of social status, being the heiress to her Baronet father’s enormous industrialists fortune she could buy and sell us all. So she doesn’t need to boast. Beautiful house.
Her website is to die for! Pricey for most of us Yanks but golly her Bryony Rose Plates may have to be my Christmas present. From somebody.... 😅
What a lovely video. I’m not sure what I found more delightful: the home or the owner. She is the kind of person anyone would love to have as a friend. Her home is a true reflection of her personality and her creativity. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of her home. 💞
She’s a very calming down to earth spirit- no pretenses - I really liked her because I felt like she was was grounded and welcoming - beautiful home- thank you for having us!
I just love her and her family welcoming home. She is just as charming as everything around her. I could listen to her talk all day.
I am always re-watching this, it's inspiring and comforting in equal measure. Love Skye and her beautiful books x
This is a video that I will watch over and over again. This is a house of sooooo much interest. I dislike watching perfect neat interior deco. It bores me so much, but this house is on another level. Thank you homeworthy.

Completely charming and unpretentious. So glad they reinstated the vintage character of the home. I would love to live there.
“The greatest privilege in the world is to make someone a birthday cake”, I loved hearing this precious saying! Your home & consideration of others is too Lovely! Thankyou for this more in depth tour & beautiful overview of how important cooking can be in bringing people together! 🤗💕
Oh & that basket of embroidery! 😍
She is wonderful. I love the chair in her kitchen, and I love her dining table, and I love her style and how she reflects that in her home in simple details. ie: painting the inside of her kitchen drawers.
Absolutely love this. If she turned a horrid minimalist space into this, then perhaps there is hope for a return to coziness.
As someone who enjoys cooking, her kitchen is something I envy. Just gorgeous. Clever too, to turn the need for storage into wall art with the copper moulds. Also, if I had a bathroom like that, I would never leave the house :)
Not even for groceries 😂😂😂
I absolutely loved this episode. She is charming and down to earth. She also shares my addiction to plates. Her home seems like such a charming place, just like her.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of their absolutely fantastic home. I loved everything. So much character and charm. Skye is a very talented woman who appears to be quite comfortable speaking about their home.
Loved the kitchen/dining room. So fresh, practical and inviting. Yellow is a perfect colour for the kitchen in the UK. I was just thinking that there isn't enough cottage style interiors in Homeworthy and this popped up. I'm always excited to see homes from the UK.
She has such a peaceful, kind spirit. Her home is a reflection of that. This was beautiful💞👌🏾
My absolute favourite house tour yet! ADORE her style 💓
This is my favorite episode to date! I was absolutely entranced watching it. Such an inspiring home and human. Thank you Skye for sharing your incredible home with us. I would love to see more episodes just like this one. Thank you Homeworthy!
I adore her love of color, clutter, and the fact that she orders from Abe Books, one of my favorite go to establishments for antique books! ❤
I’m in love with this home and the hostess is absolutely charming.
Who wouldn’t love to be invited for a meal?! 😁. So cozy and inviting would make it difficult to leave a dinner party. I especially love your choices in wallpaper. Adds so much to the rooms. Absolutely delightful home.
Skye's home strikes a perfect balance between form and function and envelops you like a warm hug! Her loving spirit shines throughout. Her home is definitely in the top three that Homeworthy has showcased. Kudos!❤️👍
The floral wallpaper in the bedroom reminds me of the 90s & home alone in the best way!
I have seen Skye's home before on house and garden. Love her style and this beautiful home. The kitchen is a dream 💛✨️
Why hasnt this amazing woman got a tv cooking series - the condiments “languishing” in the fridge - love it
I cried for joy seeing this serene yet highly livable home - perfection! P.S. - love her name - Skye - says it all & I LOVE that every aspect of her life includes Love - may the world take notice of what love is - simply surrounding yourself with joy and then giving that joy to others -
First of all, I LOVE your personality! Love your style and the sentiment behind everything you do 😊. I can tell you have a very genuine heart. And of course your home reflects that. Thank you for being the sunshine in this otherwise dreary morning in my rural home here in the states. It was the most enjoyable morning sharing it with you.
A very beautiful, soothing, cozy and peaceful home. What a kind and gentle woman.
One of your best tours!!!
You should film her house in Venice!!!!!
Lovely home, and thank you for inviting me to your home.
42:53 OMG to the copper bathtub! Glorious!!!
That WAS an enchanting home! Thank you for sharing.
Fornasetti vintage are multi thousands, she has lovely style and taste . ❤ the vintage painting of boys is the best . Food made with love tastes so much better , true fact , vibrational. What an amazing life Skye has had . I love all shades of yellow and I’m a designer, my favourite colour .
I love it when people love yellow 💛
She certainly is talented, love her flatware. Her house is extremely welcoming, and I don't think you could say anything nicer, about someone's house. It's also a very beautiful house.
What a warm and welcoming person. Her taste and decor speaks volumes of her experiences, exquisite taste and family influences.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this episode. She is such an amazing host - was such a pleasure to watch. I am in awe. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. 🙏
What a fabulous home. So cozy and welcoming and beautifully styled. Can tell Skye is a very genuine person. I love her personality and her beautiful English accent
Such a warm and beautiful home. The hostess is absolutely charming!
YES To Yellow And YES To Pink! I just love this home every corner every inch every floor top and bottom drapes and table sinks and plates, even fabric of the sofa and fabric on the walls ~ I Love It All! ❤
Oh wow!I love your home and everything in it ,what a joy♥️
Most impressed!! Excellent decor!! Love your huge book collection!!
Love her! Great episode! Would love to see sky’s home in Venice!! Pink and yellow are my faves too!! That tub, the Delft tile & marble fireplace with tiny village above, and oh that kitty jello mold!
💞😽💝😽💞
Yes, I 2nd that about Skye’s home in Venice would be a real treat to see.
You can ! And it’s a super treat as it shows it at Christmas time . Look it up on you tubes House & Garden Inside Skye McAlpine’s Venetian apartment .. you will love it , it’s my go to video to pick me up if I m under the weather .. there are more videos of her house in you tube , she is well known in the U.K. so her home has been featured a few time ? Enjoy !!
Most beautiful home and beautiful lady!
Very beautiful! Her home reminds me so much of Liv Tyler’s NYC home featured on AD Open Door!
Loved this home, usually I do not like so many flowers. This is gorgeous, I could live there.
I loved her home. I wish more parts of it was covered in the tour
Such a beautiful, romantic and happy home. It certainly suits her sweet spirit. Thank you so much for the tour!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. You have inspired me! I have clutter neatly around me most of the time and being a visual person creativity is encouraged. Loved the boys in the bathtub!
The “Massive” china cabinet is so beautiful❣️
What a joyful home! I’m obsessed with the yellow kitchen, it’s such a happy space 🌻🌙✨.
Thank you for this wonderful tour! I think I need one of her cookbooks, having met her here and her sharing her perspectives on life and love of it.
What a beautiful home. with a capital H. Thanks for this.
I'm not sure what I enjoyed more: the house or the lovely hostess.💛 Both delightful, authentic, and brimming with joie de vivre. So much personality in the house, wonderful details and stories. One of my favorite videos.
love the video and the LENGTH! Can we get a 45 min video on her place in Venice!!
I was happy to see her put some charm back into the house. I love old houses and I hate to see them stripped of all their character. For some reason, everyone I see from the UK always wants everything " modern." They have beautiful old buildings and want to make them ordinary and new.
Finally a HOME.. and NOT a Show Room ❤️🙏❤️
Skye seems so lovely and has the most beautiful and warm home. Thanks for sharing.
I could listen to her all day
Nice to see the Italian inspiration in her life and work❤
I have been a fan of yours for years. I love your house in Venice as well. I am so greatful that you going through your kitchen in detail. I wish I can buy some of your plates in South Africa. Your colour scheme is so bright and uplifting. Things that I like in your kitchen are :kitchen doors, mug hooks, shades of yellow and your wooden table on wheels.

My goodness, what a special home for her family. The cheery colors, warmth of her kitchen and cozy ambience is delightful. Thank you for sharing your home and love of cooking/baking.
Love, love, love the house. Sky is absolutely sweet and charming❤
Beautiful home. Love the kitchen and her tableware.
omg...that stove !!! awesome !
I love the yellow frig and the red library. Her home looks lived in.

Skype is so charming, beautiful house with beautiful collections!
The desk in the primary bedroom with the orange color is beautiful. The big chair in the kitchen beside the window is also a standout element.
I love her home is sou beautiful , simple ,casual ,cozy, warm and gorgeous . I love her kitchen sou much , and her decor style to , her home is my inspiration decor style I love . Thank you Home Worthy for this video❤❤❤❤❤
I love the stove. I’ve never seen a home with such a large and beautiful. I like it that her kitchen looks as though really use it and not just for show and tell. I identify with this nice lady in many aspects. Thus, I live in a very small apartment in a city in the west . Thank you for sharing lovely home. Blessings.
Her copper mould collection has several pieces I snagged in the '80's as a newlywed. Sadly when my hubs died a few years back, I by necessity had to pare down to just necessities leaving my copper donated. I paused the video to savor those and the others that she rightly uses, cherishes, honors by their presence in her home.
I was tickled by your love of yellow and pink. I think the children's book "Yellow & Pink" by William Steig is perfect for you and your boys. By the way, the stacked-plate cookie jar is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your passions.
She won me over when she said “I love clutter”, “ I like having things I love around me”
I love this woman
Gorgeous
Favorite!!! Thanks so much for this one!!! Love it.
Your home is warm, cozy, and beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful lady and beautiful home. Feels full of love and kindness.
Lovely home and lady.
At parts, i found myself fast forwarding to get on with the viewing of the Home as it tended to drag in places. I don't need ro know about every plate or trinket.
I wouldve liked to see more of the home? The Guest room, bathroom, guest loo, maybe the garden ?
Lovely lady ❤️ Your home is so. homely and cozy .A labor of love
What’s not to love? Absolutely delightful ❤
Love these homes, the stories behind such creative peoples lives are always a treat to watch They are a big inspiration for those aspiring creatives ,who want to be creative book writers, photo stylists and self publishers.
Thank you 'homeworthy' . for such episodes with stories behind the home designs and the owners interests , they add a lot of depth and character to the home tours . My heart lies in such arty places😍😍😍
What a happy place‼️
What a beautiful home !!! 😍😍🏠❤

One of my favorites that I have watched more times that I can count.
Wonderful house and welcoming person... Thank you for sharing. Love from Brazil...❤
I love how you truly love all of your items, and how there is a story of some memory. Sometimes i dont get that from many on this channel. ❤
I love Skye's home. It is so lovely. Thankyou for this video. I have seen another one that wasn't as in depth.
I’ve said this a dozen times, but this is my favorite episode.
Love it. This is me. I could move in tomorrow and wouldn’t need to change a thing.
loved this episode!
Beautiful!
What a beautiful home! Unashamedly eclectic and individually styled to create a welcoming home. LOVE the colour co-ordinated books. Although I did have to turn off the sound and put on the subtitles as this lady has such a grating vocal fry I couldn't have watched it otherwise.
