absolutely gorgeous! definitely worthy of a magazine spread.

Love, LOVE this home. So much color and pattern. It's just lovely. One of my favorites, for sure.

Now THIS is what I call a house tour! Wonderful, love it.

No illusion, this is luxurious. I'm impressed by the styling everywhere.

You have a great eye! I adore your blue lamps and the yellow chair in your office. Well done!

It's so beautiful it hurts.

wow! i just learned a couple of things:
#1: i LOVE your living room rug and had no clue nate berkus had an hsn shop.
#2: lazy boy furniture for that fantastic arc lamp?! who would have guessed?!

great job mixing textures, colors and styles. it all looks lovely.

Oh, I remember the room with the chevron curtains from a Room for Color, I believe. The rest of the house is as amazing as that room -- or more so!

I love how budget-friendly this is! The hardwood floors might not be the best shade of wood, but honestly, they've done such a great job incorporating that into the rooms, I would spend money on upgrading something else first!

karate-chopped pillows... i'm trying so hard to get used to them. other than that, the house is BEAUTIFUL and I love those blue lamps with the ornate metal mirror behind them

I agree with PPs that you have a great eye for individual objects and lay out, but I wonder if less might be more here? There are almost too many goodies at this feast.

Pretty sure her husband's name is David, not Dan.

I've been following Joi on her blog Nuestra Vida Dulce for a while now but I still enjoyed this peak into parts of her house I haven't seen before (i.e., the bathroom!).

Anyone have any tips on how to make those DIY Chevron curtains? I don't think I can live without them after seeing their effect. Gorgeous!

Great job! This is so much closer to my taste than what is usually on AT, yet still accessible. I love the way you've brought some high-end design influences home in a way that is truly liveable and affordable. I am heartened and inspired!

I love boldness of this room! The paint color mixed with the bright colors and patterns is to die for!

Is this a 50's ranch? I love the yellow-y orange "honey oak" floors of the mid century ranches. Funny they don't like them. Lovely home!

where did you get that shower curtain? I have been looking for something similar!

Wow! This is one of the most inspiring house tours I've seen in a very long time. Beautiful home. Your love and passion for design shines through in every room.

You guys are def. much better at arranging furniture than I am! But, I have to say that I have those wood floors, and I absolutely love them and don't seem them as the challenge you do. I think maybe choosing wall colors that mimic the flooring is maybe the culprit here. I really think you'd be surprised if you brought in some more colorful hues!

one of my favs. love the neautral base and the funky but well thought out bursts of color and texture. have just renovated to have the base. slowly adding our own colors and textures..this post has given me a lot of ideas. thanks!

LOVE! Can't wait for warmer weather to paint my chair yellow, seems I'm seeing the yellow chairs everywhere. Awesome!

Love the pillows and linens, and the table in the living room with the green drawer :)

Beautiful colors used. Like the space but not crazy about how every surface is covered with tchotkes/book/vase vignettes.

Oh, there is so much pretty happening here. It's very refreshing to see such fun colors being used, since we LOVE our color in our casa, too.

I feel like I saw that living room on the Nate show. Am I imagining that?

Excelent!

scrumptious....

Great job! A lot of these pics are going into my inspiration folder!

I really love the texture on the pink floral pillows, where can I find those?

I've seen pictures of that living room on SaucyDwellings, and was wondering where the pics came from...awesome.

This is a charming home. I love how you mixed hollywood regency with modern and also cottage type of pieces. I love the use of all the different colors throughout.

There is a bit too much things on tabletops and on the walls for my taste but that comes from being allergy prone and living in a less urban area. I would spend my whole weekend dusting and wiping off dirt with all that stuff around. I'm totally jealous of many of your frames/mirrors/reclaimed pieces, if you ever had a garage sale, I'd drive away with my crv full of goodies.

Nice! Very stylish and comfortable looking at the same time.

so enjoyed this tour. i am scared to death of color...can she come to my place and help me out????

Lots of excellent excellent things. Also am interested in the shower curtain, not that it's the standout or anything, just most attainable. XD

Again: your TV is your biggest indulgence??? You are my hero for saying that! :OOO

i was amazed as i clicked through the photos, as i wasn't too impressed with the thumbnails provided on the house tour page. holy smokes! this is to die for. your taste is so inspirational... moving off the couch and into the craft room! bravo! ciao! and a big, fat "WOW!"

do you have the DIY instructions for the chevron curtains?

yep. you need to quit your day job. you're too good at this to do anything else :D

This is a really fun house to peek into. I get the feeling that the 'luxury' is a new direction that you have taken. When I see the tour, I am getting all kinds of styles flying at me from all over. Granny, retro, regency. . . A little bit of everything and it WORKS. I don't know how you did it, but keep it up! I love seeing such a unique blend of styles.

OMG I LOVE THIS! Its almost as if dove into my brain, fished out my exact vision of what I'm TRYING to do to my house right now, and then actually did it... way better than I ever could. I will be referencing this post for quite some time now, awesome inspiration!

Yes, please share where you got those pink/fuschia floral pillows. They are wonderful!!

This is hands down one of the nicest places presented at AT. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic. It goes to show that good taste is good taste - you can't create it and you can't supress it and it can bloom most anywhere and on any budget. And you guys have an Eewok!! No fair!

this is one of my favorite house tours. great use of color, perfect styling! you really made it your own.

Love love love love!
It's awesome! I'm definitely bookmarking it!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! My absolute favorite house tour that has been posted on Apartment Therapy. I love that the spaces feel whimsical but provide a sense of calm due to the repeated symmetry. Great job Joi, truly an inspiration!

LOVE THIS

I'm impressed by the mix of color and pattern and stuff you have without going too far. Great work! I may borrow the idea of having ceiling roses as wall art.

WOW. definitely my favorite house tour ever. this house is brilliant.

Oh wow, you really do have a knack for decorating! Could you share the source of your duvet cover in the master bedroom?

Holy Moly! I am blown away by all of the kind comments! Thanks so much to everyone. You guys know how to put a smile on this girl's face!

I have a blog:

http://daveandjoi.blogspot.com

if anyone wants to see more! Thanks to Dabney and Ann for being such fun and laid back photographers!

@Jen-The duvet is actually the Target knock-off version of the West Elm bedding.

@ilovermont and @lepidoptery-The shower curtain is a recent purchase from Kohl's.

PERFECT! This is just darling! I love it!

Could you tell me the source of the leopard runner in the hallway? I just love it (and your entire house!) so much!

oooooh, i follow her blog and was so excited to see this pop up. recognized her home immediately.

it's more colorful than my personal style, but it sure does put a huge smile on my face!

Its an amazing house. lovely colors..!

I LOVE this home tour! Definitely one of the best on AT. I love so much about it, particularly all the color, patterns, art, and mix of styles.

Ditto RachelQ! Joi, go ahead and quit your day job. You've got a gift, girl!

This is my DREAM home. Joi, can we be like BFFs? Seriously, I love this:)

OK...now that is the most creative use of ceiling medallions I have ever seen...hanging them flat as wall art is pure genius.

The rest of the home ain't too shabby either!

Been following Joi for awhile - she slays me with her awesome selection of vintage dressers, beautiful colors, and ability to put LOTS of eye-candy items into her house without looking cluttered. I LOVE IT ALL!

This is adorable. Great job and on a budget, too!

Yes. The colors are to die for.

Just lovely.

i love all your vintage pieces!

I'm sorry to say I am just not feeling this one. I love the grey paint and I really like the kitchen but the rest of the place just seems filled with unrelated "stuff". It's all too busy and doesn't seem to have any cohesiveness at all.
I also think the silver ottomans are about the ugliest I've ever seen.
Sorry AT but I give this one a miss.

sometimes too much is just... too much. on the other hand, the shih tzu is adorable.....

i'm with you, bzb - this one's a miss.

It makes me smile :) !!

Gorgeous! Everything is so well combined. Beautiful colors and patterns.

Stunning! Each room is beautiful :)
The colors are amazing and makes me smile too.

I love this tour! I think it's gorgeous, and the pops of color are great against the neutrals. I love the plates on the wall in the kitchen, too!

I love everything about your house!!! What great style.

HOLY SHIT!!!! (Pardon my French) BUT I'M FROM HIGHLAND, IL!!!!! I almost pissed myself when I saw this! I'm a long time AT reader and was drawn in by the Chevron curtains. When I saw Highland, IL I shrieked! Its a super small town not far outside of St. Louis. I moved to Philadelphia a couple of years ago but its great to see such a beauty in my podunk hometown! Great job Joi and David! Way to represent!

wow~! i wanna be everything!! its mystyle that's all set. and lovely puppy is just perfect!!

I love this tour! Gorgeous!

To everyone asking about the Chevron curtains, I'm not sure if there is a tutorial on Joi's blog, but I thought I'd share some links. I did some of a similar scale for my house (only I used a super dark blue, BM's Gentleman's Gray, instead of black and I LOVE them). I did a loose DIY entry on my blog here but I found the project originally here (I just used a larger stripe).

OK, Joi did a tutorial too, but the links above have information in case you want to do the painter's tape.

Really fun and livable! I love the personality of the whole space. But please throw out that Lauren Conrad book. Ick. :)

Wow! I think I remember this home - did we see it in a sneak peak? I'm glad to see all of it. While not my style, your layering of colors and patterns is astonishing and fresh.

I think you should try out for Design Star at HGTV, I believe they are taking applicants now. Don't be intimidated, there is always room for the self-taught.

Great job.

One of best tours I have ever seen on AT.
Loving it all to death.

Love the use of color. And for what it's worth, my name is Joi and I named my dog Scout!

Where are the curtains in the living room from?

@JJ-Wow! I love that. : )

@Azstar-They are Pottery Barn but I bought them off of eBay.

@Robertspeg-Thanks so much. DesignStar would be a dream! : )

I love..love.. LOVE this post! It's very inspiring. Question: Where did you purchase (if you did) your dinning table chairs?! I haven been going crazy looking for the perfect chairs to match my own table... these are them!!! Please..PLEASE, respond!! Thank you..

I love this!! I love seeing houses with similar styles to my own...this is fabulous!

Joi, I bet you feel relieved and somewhat vindicated by all of the positive comments. I think Crispyfry must either be on holiday, or on medication. You'll know what I mean!

I do like most of you choices but I'm curious why it is only me that thinks the painted chevron curtains look odd with the sun shinning through them. The black paint looks a little patchy. Just wondering if it is that noticeable in real life.

I mean shining, not shinning, and your not you. Please AT allow commentors to revise their comments so we don't sound so stupid.

Very Nice! I love the lamps..the whole house...just cute and cozy!

unique and beautiful! the pillows are the only thing in the whole house that i didn't care for. other than that, amazing! especially love the blue lamps and that gorgeous mirror behind them!

I might be alone in saying this...but... individually, I like each of the pieces in the chevron curtain room, but I'm not sure about them all together.

The TV room is FANTASTIC. It seems a little more grounded while still keeping the comfortably mismatched look. Love the art piece on the wall.

i love the rug in the office. can you tell me the make of it? thanks!

I'm a little late getting here, so you may never see this, but... Joi, don't quit your day job!!! Your home is so beautiful, fun and creative, and I'm sure that creativity goes into your teaching. (And as a fellow teacher, I'm dying to see your classroom.... :) )

and the ceiling medallions as wall art? Absolute genius. I was just looking at some beautiful, inexpensive ones the other day and sighing b/c I have no fancy lighting (and can't afford it anyways). Thanks for showing a different way to use them!

Beautiful space! Nice work. I love all the collections of pieces and don't think it's cluttered (but I like "stuff"). My only pet peeve is that the lamps cover up the artwork and the TV covers up the medallions:)

So cool! I just love it.

There are some lovely things in this home; I like the living room in particular, and I think the kitchen is very nicely done.
But that den/office in the lead picture is the interior design version of a fashion victim. Like, Ab Fab level fashion victim.
