This look is my default setting - love it so much. I know many might find white walls a tad boring, but I have had them in every home for the past 32 years and never, ever tire of them. Thanks for sharing this - now I have a new place to shop for my beloved block prints! And, by the way, meant to mention how much I loved your block print tablecloth in another thread, mtn. That green & blue combo is gorgeous.

That is definitely one of my favorite HW houses. I've been aching for another and then you posted this charming home. I love all of it. I find myself attracted to the white which minimizes everything to show off the contrasts of warm wood, brass and touches of color. This one is beautifully done.

It's a look I enjoy in a room, but as a house, I need more color. Love the block prints, but they are most of the color -- I need some more to go with them. But I do love the white, wood, brass and marble. Throw in some more blues and color in the art and I could call it home. It feel like a refreshing place to visit. Throw in some more blues and color in the art and I could probably call it home. I would love to do the grass around the pool, but I don't think it would work here.

I could move in and not change a thing. I have white walls, slips, a mix of woods, touches of nature (even pressed botanicals), and it's all very peaceful to me. Thanks for sharing it--those HW videos are never on my radar.

I agree Lascatx. I love white but it needs a bit more color.

love the kitchen and bathrooms.

My (enclosed) porch remodeling construction is nearing an end and I'll be making paint and other decisions. My original plan was for white walls but I've been wavering a bit lately. This brings me back to my original aesthetic. I have a lot of color going on in the rest of the house and envisioned a calming space. Thank you for posting this lovely interior.

Very pretty. And SPECIAL! (Sorry, but she says ”special” about 400 times.)

Even if you hadn’t been the one to share this, Mtn, it would have made me think of you.

I wanted to love the kitchen, but I just didn’t. Felt like too many light fixtures to me, for one thing. I didn’t love the island (who’s going to sit at the side with no overhang?) or the table and benches. I think she could have done better there. I do like the cabinetry and the marble.

I am with lascatz; I need a little more color.

I watched this twice before commenting. It is PRETTY, but pretty like a frat boy or a corpse of a young beautiful model. With out any detritus it lacks a soul. I wonder if she had left her son’s equipment on the hooks instead of the unused, ie pretty, wicker totes and hats, if maybe I might have loved this house. It reads pretty in photos but it also feels very empty and lonely, to me. A pretty person without a personality is just pretty but a pretty person with humor, intelligence and especially a messy history is beautiful. To me this house is just pretty.

These are all of the same genre, watch w/o sound on 2x so these ladies do not drive your crazy. Some of the comments are really dumb. Interesting how many of these people have backgrounds from RL, J Crew, Kate Spade, etc

Love her gingham halter dress! Of note - a painted entry floor, YAY. The DR ceiling is worth looking at. Mary Maguire. I think that brand is jumping the shark. I should have bought it when I first saw it in 2010, and enjoyed it in peace for 15 years.

Similar vibe, slightly more hip take. Note to self - find vintage photo for Frame TV.

Very bothered by this chaise occluding the doorway

But these are not homeowners casually inviting you by. They are selling something, in all cases. So, their home is styled.

Essentially what you are saying is, the styling is bad. If should have been styled to appear more lived in. But even that would be styling. And it would not serve the business purpose of thevideo if it were visually discordant?

To me other houses tidied to perfection and styled for publication still have souls. Her’s seemed shell like. Even the family scenes seemed sad to me. I felt it was a lonely house not a home. Stepford wife or Amazon blogger is the vibe I felt here.

I like this style of house. Particularly at the beach. She mentions at the beginning that they just moved back in a month ago. I think it takes time for a house to get that lived in look.

Pretty house! Not my style but I do appreciate the look. The white slipcovers everywhere still throw me off— our dogs and kids and grandkids have made messes that defy bleach but it looks as though her dog is pretty well behaved — and of course everything is brand new, I think she said three weeks since the reno?

My main questions are about the bedrooms; where are their clothes? The displayed closets and couple of armoires are woefully insufficient for one adult, forget two 😳 And how do two adults function in that tiny bedroom? It looks like the garage under construction has a living or office/ studio space attached to it and I would put the guest room out there, taking the one in the main cottage to expand the MBR and put in a decent closet.

The dog actually jump up on everything.

I live in a 1920s house that to many would seem to lack storage. I think it is a blessing because it forces me to curtail my purchases. After hearing an NPR report on the evils of donated cloths and fast fashion my husband and I strived to fit all our clothes into two pax wardrobes (80x15 inches together) and one 60 x 24 inch wardrobe. My teen daughter struggles with this lofty goal but is only allowed to keep cloths fitting into her tiny reach in closet and tall dresser. I am ruthless on filtering out unneeded clothing and buy only after tossing out non fitting or ripped/stained items. Ski and sailing wear is kept in basement storage. So I liked her storage lol. I also wonder if this is just a summer house. On vacation I only bring a carryon of clothing lol.

To be fair, she did say that they were only in the house a couple of weeks and still settling in. The very tidy, just so aspect seemed about right in that context, and I love a cool white bedroom, have always been partial to white or mostly white kitchens, but I also love color. If I used block prints, I'd change some of them out to have color backgrounds, be a stripe or a solid - not all of a kind. But even in a "white" room. my art would have a lot mor color than her choices. The calmest thing I can think of in this house is a landscape - a lot more there than a leaf. So more color but also little less matchy-matchy. Sometimes that comes with time that you don't have with 2 weeks before a major photo/video shoot. I'll take her starting point and personalize it any day.

I liked the downstairs a lot. The one thing I would change is the island. I don't mind the furniture sytle (I actually like that a lot), but I would have made it wood to contrast with all the white.

The upstairs is too cramped for me, and as others have noted the lack of storage would drive me crazy. Also, a clear glass door on the primary bathroom? You could see the toilet in the video. No thank you.

To me it would be the perfect beach house that we visited on weekends/summers, but too small for a full time home even for just 3 people.

One other thing I don't like but seems to be very common is no hardscaping around the pool. I want a beautiful patio. I would have done the bluestone around the pool, the same as the new patio.

Thank you for sharing. I do enjoy these tours when I find the time to watch them.

Not everybody wants/needs tons of clothes. I have a 36" closet for hanging clothes and I had to add it after buying this house as each bedroom closet is only 18" deep x 48"! (my bedroom is now outfitted pull out baskets) I have a petite antique wardrobe with (added) shelves inside and a 36" desk used as a dresser. Shoes and coats and jackets are in the hall coat closet. No other clothes anywhere; A family of 4 lived in this house built in the 50's!
