WANT YOUR SOFA. and i love how you've kept the kid stuff organized and still cute. i think you should give 2 of those eiffel base Eames chairs to me, though. 8 looks crowded.

omg. i love. one of my favorite house tours!

Love this. Especially the fantastic double fireplaces, the painted floor (which I rarely see here in the States), chartreuse with dark gray, and the spindle tiebacks.

I love the creativity of the red chorded lamp and the egg plant colored bathroom.

Love the bathroom mirror. If I ever have a larger bathroom (please, if there's a God ... ), I might very well hang my Venetian mirror there.

Their home entirely entices.

This is a beautiful home. We live in a Victorian property where we have also painted the floorboards white, so there is some great inspiration here. Where is the large white pendant light from in the hallway? We are looking for something similar.

I only dislike two things: the kitchen tap and the crate shleves. Just ugly!
But the rest of the house... Pure perfection.

very nice and wonderful color pallette

Thanks for all the nice comments about our home.

Wendy the hall lampshade is from habitat.

Once again, why, oh why can't we have John Lewis in the States??
What a wonderful space-- and your mad skillz with the window treatments knock my socks off. Care to give any tips? I've got a move coming up soon, with some odd-sized windows to cover. I'd love to be able to to this myself.
Actually, I think I'll just move into yours. There-- all done!

Just beautiful! Also one of my favorites. I'd be happy to do a house swap for a week or two or three! We're in NW Atlanta USA.

that was an absolute pleasure! enjoyed studying every picture. m

I have to admit that I don't like most of the furniture and the use of ugly brown carpet. The place itself is stunning but I think the rest is not my taste.

Lovely! Can you tell us what color Farrow & Ball paints are used in the master bedroom, both for the walls and for the trim? Thanks!

What an beautiful, calm, light filled house....Your collection of carefully grouped items are all very inspiring... Just wonderful.

All I can think is, "My God, a 5-bed house in Chiswick? That they could actually afford to renovate AND furnish? These guys are LOADED."

@Madame Suggia Exactly what I couldn't stop thinking either. Incredibly lovely nevertheless, very much a style I'd love to have if I'm ever able to pay off my unsurmountable student loans.

It's a lovely house -- in all respects but one.

The removal of the wall between the front and the rear parlours, in my opinion, creates a very awkward space. Two almost identical fireplaces side-by-side? That just doesn't work. It's a very common approach in renovating an older home, but I have to caution against it. Proportions become odd, and the room doesn't work spatially or functionally as well as it once did. If the desire was to let in light into the back room, a glass separation between the two would have been both functional and interesting.

5 bedroom house in chiswick - over it. they have tons of cash - over it. froyo - over it.

Can we know what the colour of the Farrow & Ball paint is in the Living Room and Entry...It's exactly what I'm looking for!

You have GREAT TASTE! I love the mixture of colors and old and new items. I love your sofa. Beautiful home.

@Wendy Wright : I have almost the same lampshade as the one in the hall, but got mine from Next only a couple weeks ago.

Love the house - was amazed at how many of the same design elements are in my house (painted risers on stairs, hall lamps, red-orange file cabinet, nearly same sofa) and so many lovely ideas and inspirations as well!

@DAVEBARNES: If I could flag your comment, I would've chosen #3!

Lovely home! I am particularly fond of the dining room and the three pendants over the table.
Freya is the most beautiful thing in the house :)

Sorry, I am underwhelmed by this house. It looks like cookie cutter scandi-style that appears in multiple european publications. Perhaps it looks fresh to the american eye, but if you look at european publications houses decorated like this are two a penny.

I am the only one who thinks this bleached-out scandi-look is getting rather old? Ditto with the straight vanilla mid-century look.

What a imperfectly perfect family home. I love the way you combine colors - brights with softer shades. I LOVE your bathroom mirror. I also love your comination of old and modern. What a beautiful, lucky little child to grow up here!

Cyberval, my American eyes kind of agree, but I don't think that's the point of this forum. This is someone's home, decorated personally by the homeowners, who are putting themselves out there to be judged, yes, but also to inspire people. This isn't a magazine about professional design that you paid for. Might I suggest Elle Decor for snobby comments like that?

I really liked the wooden boxes lined with colorful paper-- what a whimsical, flexible way to provide some catchall storage.

Amazing home! I love everything about it but especially the crate bookshelves lined with paper. And the light on the side table in the bedroom with the striped bedding. Care to give a tutorial(or maybe it's purchased)? That would be amazing.

You have given me many ideas that I love and would love to use in my own home. And you have a beautiful family....

High five METALAUREAN. U tell em, they are clearly "aspiring" design critics. Not sure they will ever get there tho.

I love Rachel,s home.

:)

Your daughter is super cute! I love her outfit and her tent. :)

@Madame Suggia - hahaha! exactly!

I used to live in Chiswick (renting). I love Chiswick. Now I live in Athens, Greece..

Lovely house though. and cute daughter!

Beautiful home. I especially like the colors you have blended together -purple, lime and leaf green. I like the vertical and horizontal grouped art in the dining room. The Conran throw is great.

@ Rose 123 - dress is from Zara

@Thatkins - I used a website with curtain and blind making instructions which were quite easy to follow.

A pelmet is always good to hide any uneven pleating you may have at the top of your curtains. I used quite inexpensive fabrics but just made sure they had a good weight to them.

@ElaneB - I would have to agree about the best thing in the house ;)

@metalLauren & Horta - thank you

@sarahJH - The lights were really simple. Basically I bought some red flex which I put a light fitting onto the end of (very easy to wire) and then wrapped the cord around some spare vintage bobbins I had picked up. The whole thing ended up in the glass bowls because I needed something to hold the bobbin and found these spare in my cupboard. I bought the cable from a UK business on ebay (they have lots of colours). Alternatively, if you want a fabric covered flex and live in the UK try 95% design. Just to warn you though their flex is a lot more expensive than the company I used and I think they only sell a set length whereas the ebay business can send you any length you need. Hope that helps.

@sarah in CT - need to check on bedroom paint colour. I have just leant my spare tin to a friend who is choosing colours for her home and cant remember the name.

@DMK1 - lounge is F&B bone white, Entrance is Dulux standard white

To everyone else who has been nice about our home and my family thank you

really like the detail of vintage suitcases as a tv stand

This house is truly a home. It looks comfortable, stylish & hip, functional...I love it!
One of the best home tours on this site!
