This is the best home tour yet! Her eye for design and subtle soothing colors is fantastic.

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

Wow, what a huge compliment! I am among so many wonderful homes and designers featured here and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comments.

[@user-ml7dn4rv6j]

Something about this home that is so utterly appealing. Also, Michele, it is a real talent knowing how to use vintage and thrifted pieces. I could probably buy all the same thing and never make them look so wonderful as you do. Presentation is everything .

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you love the vintage pieces.

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

This farmhouse-style home is a testament to how traditional design elements can be seamlessly integrated with contemporary comforts, offering a serene and stylish retreat in the heart of Texas. 😍

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

Thank you so much for the kind words and i'm so glad you enjoyed the tour!

[@Soulmidwife1111]

Love, love, LOVE all the vintage, shabby chic details!!! Such a cozy home with so much history-oh, my, the stories within all these pieces and collections. Enchanting & magical.

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

I am so glad you enjoyed the tour and thanks so much for watching!

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I am a subscriber of her Vintage Home Designs and just love her home and style aesthetic. Because of her I started collecting the thread and yarn balls and have them in a basket next to a rattan rocker . Just love the simple , textural element. Also filled my patio fireplace with terra cotta pots like her. Such unique ways of displaying items. I too, adore tablescapes and thrifting. Two of my favorite pastimes. The stool is such a study in the beauty of decay. Love it! The carriage doors make the space a one of a kind room. I will stop. as I could go on and on . There is nothing I do not love about this home.

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

Wow, this is so kind of you!! I am so glad you enjoy my blog and home tours, and I can't tell you how it warms my heart to hear that you find inspiration here.

Absolutely beautiful home. She has a great eye for design. I don’t understand the negative comment, especially when someone is opening up their home. She has fantastic style.

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

Thank you so much! I haven't even seen the negative comment, but I really appreciate you saying that.

[@BettsiLedesma]

At first, I thought I was not going to enjoy this home tour. I thought, "Aren't we done with farmhouse?", but Michele's home transcends trends and is absolutely beautiful! So cozy, inviting and interesting! I love how she shared her thought processes and even her "mistake" about the pantry door. And Michele, your outfit is so cute!!!

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

Thank you!! And I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour.

Oh, I certainly hope others feel that way here! They are always magical to me when I can bring friends and family together.

[@karenstanislaw8912]

Michele IS her environment, her environment is her. Love that. Some handsome instincts here. Definitely align with the "patina religion; " the more worn, imperfect - the richer. Bringing old doors into the home - dynamite. *Garage doors around the terrace - also dynamite.Thumbs up, Michele, and thank you for the tour.

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour!! Thank you for the kind words.

[@mouriefeeney1903]

What a great presentation of her first floor. This home had a welcome element that I adored. I don't dwell on negative and look for the ideas that suit me best. I found several things I loved and can take away for my own home. It's their home and it suits them...not us ~ Thank you to the hostess and Homeworthy.

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that and so glad you enjoyed the tour.

Michele's description of her home is enthralling; her pacing is great. Also her home is truly lovely.

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed the tour.

[@teresaward8464]

I always get so excited when I see her home tour! It’s very cozy & welcoming. Michele proves that farmhouse is still here & not going anywhere! Also she sticks to being yourself & not doing trends just because others are! Using worn old pieces keeps it so charming! This home is in my favorite top five!

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

That is so kind of you to say! I am so glad you enjoyed the tour and I really appreciate the kind words.

[@juliairwin4481]

Mine too. I really liked the presentation. Liked the way we flowed from one room to another room and the outdoor living space. Thank you for giving us a tour of your home.

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it.

[@ac1646]

Yes agree. I think it's a perfect demonstration that it the flair of the owner, rather than a particular 'fashion'; flair trumps trends! 😁😁

Beautiful home. Every space is casual and welcoming. This home is so inspiring. The homeowner explained her vision so well. She is so real and authentic. Loved that she remembered some of the prices she’s paid for her treasures. As she said her home is farmhouse, shabby chic, vintage, French and English country. It’s layered, it’s not like everyone else’s home. I’ll be rewatching this episode.

Love your home, Michelle! It is lovely and you have created a warm, cozy and inviting space, that speaks love and come on in and sit awhile. Your taste suits you well and LOVE the white and neutrals. 💕

[@barbb.7028]

I absolutely loved this tour and Michele's style. She has such an eye to find the right vintage items and a real gift to style them. I can see that her mom also has a creative talent. I appreciate the extra time she took to tell us about things that work for her and offer encouragement to make our homes a place that we love and not just what the trends are.

[@vintagehomedesigns4763]

I am so glad you enjoyed the tour and found inspiration here.

Thank you!

[@debrahayes3778]

At first glance I thought "Oh here we go again with Texas." However, the host is easy to listen to and explains her choices well. I really enjoyed her eye for thrifting and vintage finds Nothing is precious about her home. It has a lovely inviting floor plan and is very livable, which is ideal. Kudos! 🐞🌼

Interesting about the Texas comment. Curious what that means, but I am so glad you enjoyed the tour, and thanks so much for the kind words about my home.

This home is beautiful, highly functional, warm, welcoming, everything good. All-in farmhouse is not usually for me, but I love this home. And I like the homeowner a lot. There is something special about her and I’d love to sit at a table at one of her gatherings. Lastly, the open staircase! Gorgeous.

Enjoyed your tour and home. The clean neutral expansiveness of your style of decorating is lovely. How you reuse found objects is creative and interesting. I live in a cabin in the mountains that’s over 100 years old so my palate is primitive- quite opposite however, it’s a reminder of the value of consistency. Your home is beautiful! Congratulations on a job well done!
