Whole House Tour - Casually Elegant
I’ve been wanting to get a reasonably complete tour of my home posted for a while now, and it seems like now is the perfect time...
We’re about to move to a new house and once we are settled, the next few months should be filled with all kinds of renovation and decorating projects, hopefully leading to a brand new house tour post later in the year. My overall aesthetic will not be changing much, as it’s pretty well defined after all these years, but many components will be new, both large and small. If I had to nail down a description of my style, I think I’d call it European inspired traditional, focused very much on refined patina. I strive for casual elegance and lean very much toward French country, borrowing from English manor, as well. No doubt Europeans would find it decidedly American, but the influences to me are undeniable. I would love to hear from you, in comments or email, to know if you would define my style the same way as I think of it. I welcome questions and would be happy to share source information. Sit back and enjoy the Designthusiasm Casual Elegance House Tour!

I am absolutely blown away! I have toured countless homes and I have never seen anything as beautiful as this home! I've seen so many elegant "neutral/white" homes that I just loved, but your home is so full of color that I felt my heart just come alive....it's just outstanding design and you really summed it up when you used the words "casual elegance". Though your home is heavy on class and elegance, it's not stuffy and cold, hinting that we shouldn't really touch anything or relax. That is quite a fine line to balance and you've done a stellar job! Just love how effortlessly all your colors and textures merge together into a look that is so unique! Lots of french country in everything, but I'm still leaning towards a casual elegance look that is all your own.....you're amazing!
