I love how you enjoy and showcase all of your family's heritage. Everything has an amazing story and holds so many memories for you and that is truly what a home should do. Love it all and always love seeing how you change things up. Thanks so much for joining the tour, I loved it.

Hands down Anita, you and Jenni (Rain on a Tin Roof blog) have the most unique, fun and creative homes on the Spring Tour! Its a breath of fresh air to see two homes that are not a carbon copy or cookie cutter of every one else's home. I love how you both incorporate things you collect and love in your style and are not afraid of color.

Being a 60s/70s child, I didn't always appreciate mid-century modern style but in the last 3 years I have fell in love with it again. My most prized possession is the 60s mid-century modern sunburst clock that hung in my late grandparents home and their hi-fi record player.Replies-

Thank you so much Teresa!! Yes, I felt the same for sure and find myself now looking for things I was not into in the past. I guess everything comes around again, but with a new twist. Wow, I'd love to have one of those clocks!! I can imagine you really do treasure those things so much too:-)

This is my first visit to your blog and what a wonderful find! I can't really find the exact words to express how happy this place makes me feel. Your use of color is fabulous. You have wonderful treasures from your family history but your touch makes it all a work of art. Thank you so much for letting us take a tour.

Oh my goodness!! I LOVE what you've done!! I, too, am a North Carolina girl and my house is full of color, as well. I have a very broad, eclectic, mix of styles, including leopard carpet on my front stairs!! We are in the Jamestown/High Point area. Let me know if you ever venture this way, I'd love to meet up!! Do you come to Furniture Market in April or October?

After seeing so many white/neutral interiors for spring it was so refreshing to see your home so full of color and energy. It was a feast for the eyes and inspiring. Your colors and blending of style are fabulous and it is one of my favorite homes on the tour!

My favorite things in your home remain the same: I love the Chinese ancestor prints. Yes, those things from the 70s look really familiar, like the hanging tulip lamp. I am from VA and like to keep sentimental things too.

Tell me how you hung the drapes from the ceiling as a room divider.Replies-

Thank you so much! I actually just put up hooks that you can screw in and used the rings that you squeeze to open and close -- the cheap ones:-)

Anita, I'm always amazed and in awe of how you put together vivid color and pattern, not to mention so many ethnic styles of decorating. You're a pro! always beautiful and exciting seeing what you're doing. I loved hearing about the history of your family and property!

I love visiting your house. Everything fits together so wonderfully well. The patterns, colors, and textures are so eye catching. I love all the pottery, the prints, the paintings, the various collections you display. You have quite an eye for mixing things together.

I love your style Anita. It is so cheerful and full of color. There is so much neutral now in decorating, which is nice but I still love to use pops of color in my own home.

Thank you! I've always used color, and lots of it though, so maybe you're confusing me with someone else? Glad to have you back!!

I just found you today by chance. Everything is absolutely beautiful! I love that you use old things and breathe new life into them. It is so refreshing to see that you don't get all new stuff and do away with character pieces. I love that you don't have sponsors and unlike so many bloggers get extravagant new items that ordinary people could not afford. Kudos to you!!!. Love, love everything. The lights over your dining room table are gorgeous, as well as the mirror in your bedroom. Everything is just over the top and the color and vibrancy is amazing. thumbs up for sure

your home is always so fun to visit- so much to see! the yellow touches are great for the season and bring in some cheer, and that peacock chair vignette is my FAVE!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Cassie! I think that's my fav as well, and I want to get more of that look in other places:-)
DeleteThe touches of yellow are pure spring perfection. Everything feels so fresh.
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura! I'm really crushing on yellow these days and hope to add more:-)
