HOUSE TOUR | A Georgia Cottage Bursting with Color

Gallerist Gregg Irby brings us inside her beautiful English Tudor-style cottage in Atlanta, Georgia.
For more extraordinary home tours, visit our website: homeworthy.com/
Gregg unexpectedly fell in love with her dream home and transformed it into a masterpiece that seamlessly blends Southern charm with artistic elegance. From the moment she set foot in this charming 1930’s cottage, she knew it was something special - leading her to put in an offer on the very same afternoon of her first visit.
Though a renovation project, the home boasted great bones that Gregg saw nothing but potential in. Steeped in family history, the decor of the home holds a special place in Gregg's heart, featuring treasures passed down from her great grandmother. As we traverse through the rooms, you'll discover a seamless fusion of heritage and modernity, where every piece of furniture and art tells a unique story. Gregg’s love for chinoiserie is evident in every corner, adding a touch of timeless sophistication to the aesthetic. It's a celebration of art and culture, a reflection of her journey from growing up in South Carolina, where she witnessed her artist mother bring canvases to life. Today, as an art gallery owner representing talents from the US and beyond, Gregg's home is a living canvas itself-an embodiment of her keen eye for color, appreciation for intricate wallpaper, and an unbridled passion for art. Enjoy!

[@TGSHomeandGarden]

she has such a eclectic yet well curated home. Her color choices were great!

[@janebishop5885]

Can't believe all these different colors and patterns and all the stuff work so well together. But I must add that beautiful kitchen is big enough for anyone.

[@cessiahc]

Homeworthy homes are the best homes. As for this Georgia Cottage home, it's not only bursting with color & wallpaper, its got class, & soul. I can feel the joy she feels as she showed us around. Her beautiful smile lit up every room & story. I would live in this home, even though it's not my style. And all the wallpaper is perfect. I am much more minimalistic, you did so well with everything in your home, that's its so pleasing, refreshing, & wonderful. Bravo. Standing ovation. I will watch again. Saving this one.

Exquisite home.

Fantastic home!! Very much enjoyed the tour she gave & all the info she shared. One of the best this year!

This is one of my favorite home tours ever! Every inch of this home is unique and beautiful! Thank you for sharing this gorgeous home with us! ❤

[@Beautiful131313]

Agree 💯💜💜💜

[@TheChristineLindsay]

Love, love, love, your classic but fun style. I'm the same, I love artwork and things passed down from my grandparents, etc.

[@vintagegal541]

I agree with Gregg. I like homes that have divided rooms. You can decorate differently in each room. I'm not a fan of the open concept. I don't want anyone to see me dirty dishes in the sink! I love, love, love her style and I like the statement that she made that she loves what she loves and doesn't have a certain design concept. Rock on!

[@Rebelliousrefinement]

Agreed! I have a 1920s cottage and the prior people opened up a wall in my living room to my kitchen and it drives me nuts seeing my mess in the kitchen from the living room when I’m just trying to chill!🤣🤣

[@vintagegal541]

@@Rebelliousrefinement A kindred spirit!

[@sandysmom100]

Me too . My parents have a home like that . Our home is like that .

[@vintagegal541]

@@sandysmom100 Who knew that the open concept wasn't loved by all? I used to watch Fixer Upper when it first was on HGTV until I realized the Joanna and Chip knocked down walls and all of her designs looked alike. Neutral, no color, no character.

[@deboramccallum3987]

I do too, i especially like different places to go and little nooks and crannies. Each room exudes a different style. To each her own.

[@raelevy]

This is one of my fav videos! I’ve watched it over & over @nd am so inspired! I agree…never too much wallpaper!

[@debjanibhowmick5870]

What a spectacular home, colors and chinaseri deco.

[@ninakerstetter579]

Why oh why today are so many young people anti wallpaper? I love your use of it ! It defines your rooms, personalizes them and pleases the eye. I thoroughly enjoyed your tour. Your home is charming & inviting. ❤️

[@dragonflyviz6546]

I absolutely love your style! Thank you for sharing your home with us all. What a joy to hear all of the history behind the elements of you home.

[@beckywitt4325]

What is brand of lamp referred to in the kitchen

[@rmonson5002]

I would like to know too....

[@maceyh4063]

Oka. It’s a lovely brand 😍

[@1badbowtie327]

Very nice video and beautiful house. As a fellow youtuber but with cars, you really need to avoid the word "UM". We call it a filler word and used when you are unsure what to say. You had 10 "um"s within 15 seconds and was par for the video. It's honestly hard to focus on the house once you are aware of the "ums". That was the only issue with the video.

[@emilylabo7053]

She sure loves her possessions she has said it about 100 times in this video ugh.

[@monkeybearmax]

She did an amazing job with all the color and wallpaper and art. Pretty genius actually!

[@francineh.7825]

I absolutely love this home!! The art, wallpaper, all the unique items just make this home so visually pleasing and interesting. I actually really love that the kitchen is not huge.

[@turtlevincent10]

I'm drooling over her colors, fabrics, textures, and especially her art.

[@suzieq2493]

I'm confused...why downsize only to make a bigger kitchens and convert a porch to a bedroom?

[@robinseay3486]

Ideas/plans Change!😉

[@vjhreeves]

OMG She is gutting that gorgeous kitchen just to make it bigger?!

[@TubeTorte]

Apparently money is no object, though I could have sworn she said they wanted to downsize. which is why they bought the smaller house.

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

Yep and its pretty🤦🏾‍♀️

[@meganschaeffer]

I worked for Gregg briefly when I moved to Atlanta 8 years ago - she’s a fabulous, smart business owner! Loved seeing her home ❤

[@proverbs3150]

I was surprised she would give up a covered porch in the South for another bedroom. There’s nothing like a southern porch!

[@hahayouarefunny]

Love the different palettes for different rooms! Makes each space feel special.

[@annhenry3135]

I rarely really love homes you showcase but this home is gorgeous and inspirational.

[@waltonbone6038]

Really beautiful in every way possible. Love English Tudors. Great job

[@dollymadeson3963]

Perfection. Very few American homeowners are skilled at mixing old and new. Gregg knows exactly what to do and has a great eye for interior design and art. Best home I have seen on Homeworthy!!👏👏👏

[@MizJilly]

This is what I love about this channel - almost every video, I'm saying it's the best video they've done. All these homeowners are amazingly creative.

[@buddhahoo1]

So adore this. Beautiful and personalized and it shows, "I love what I love".

[@ctalcantara1700]

Each of her items has a story and a memory, this is what makes a house a home.

[@pamkelley7227]

As a professional interior designer I must say this is an extremely well done home. She is delightful as is their home. Everything about this house appears to be decorated for the family and not necessarily for any current trend. Every detail, from the family heirlooms to the lampshades is so well thought out and even with all of the colors and patterns the home is not overwhelming, it is curated to perfection!

[@frankvaden772]

Hey! Go back and show us the porch with all the pretty lattice that we can just glimpse from the living room! I really do want to see that. Your house is amazing and so much fun. Thanks for having us in for a glimpse!

[@claudiamann7111]

A beautiful home which looks cozy and comfortable. The wallpaper is just incredible. Atlanta is such a wonderful city with so many possibilities of things to do. Thank you so much for sharing your stunning home with us.

[@nicolrim]

What a lovely home! I adore all the patterns, textures, wallpaper and collection of pieces from your travels!

[@dvinedzine]

This is breath-taking, every nook and cranny has a beautiful, interesting vignette.

[@mattkisner7287]

I can't believe they didn't tour the sun room with trellis walls and marble checkerboard floor! My favorite room can only be seen in the background. LOL. Beautiful home.

[@sumar207]

This woman has a very adventurous sense of style! Loveliness everywhere you look!

[@Rebecca-rf8cc]

Her kitchen is a perfect size, no idea why she feels the need to make it bigger! She keeps saying it is a small house, there is no storage, and yet this house looks huge to me. How much is too much? Don't know, but I do admire her use of color.

[@dianafromaustralia3244]

Chinoiserie is pronounced - SHIN WA ZAH REE! 🙀🙀

[@shonabeggs4640]

😂 That had me screaming at my screen, if you love it, at least learn to say it.

[@londondaze]

Bonjour! The correct pronunciation of chinoiserie in French is Chin wa se ree. Your pronunciation is American. Although is perfectly fine to use either one. Prends soin de toi.

[@kgalvin7503]

Shin - wa - Zuh - ree. It’s a French word and should be pronounced as the French do.

[@44alwaysrightjlp]

@@kgalvin7503 Didn't allthe "ums" drive you crazy though. They did me, but it was a short drive. LOL

[@vjhreeves]

THANK YOU!! I cannot figure out how someone who knows so much about interior design and art doesn't know the correct pronunciation.

[@mouriefeeney1903]

Love, love...all the color and wallpaper. It takes a lot sometimes to make a house a home and I feel this home owner has achieved this with childhood memories of items from parents and grandparents. Very charming and well mannered pets. Thank you for the tour of your home and thank you Homeworthy...this one is worthy ~

[@yolandasilverio1205]

Thia home is lovely. You should reach out to Garrow Kedigian from New York/Paris he loves colors and has a lovely home too.

[@maurawhelan3530]

I have to agree with her husband…there’s a lot going on…everywhere.

[@TubeTorte]

It fascinates me when women mention their children or husbands aren't crazy about something but the wives clearly overrule them. Her son said he didn't want art work in his room. Because he didn't complain that she went ahead and covered his walls with it she assumes he likes it. That's quite an assumption.

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

@@TubeTorte because with some women, not all it’s all about them married with children or not I caught that too

[@rmonson5002]

@@TubeTorte In her defense, I'd do the same thing probably. I have no children so I can't say for sure, but my mom was definitely the decision maker when it came to the decor of our family home but dad never complained and my brothers did their own thing in their rooms with black light posters and mom was fine with it. But it was the 70's so ...yeah... black light posters were cool. Still are IMHO. Ha!

[@Apricot90]

Life is not fair.... I work for all my life, 33 now, no family, no partner, no good community or friends, living in a shit hole even tho I have multiple degrees... I tried so hard, all my glow ups and education, for what? Just for watching others live their lives fully and me standing on the side lines alone.. She has room after room after room stuffed with detailed nice fabrics and furniture and she has a beautiful family. I only have a chronic illness and a tray with patterned origami paper.

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

Stop putting yourself down that’s number one and get out there and mingle more little bit and probably find someone to spend time with stop selling your self short just because she has all this does not mean she’s happy money does not buy happiness and remember some people are homeless don’t have even a shit hole to call home to so remember the little things because it could be worse. happy thanksgiving

Why gut a perfectly beautiful kitchen, it looks to be in great shape?? 😢

[@rmonson5002]

It's not big enough.

[@KateSullivan-yk6nh]

I loved this home tour and the homeowner. Everything felt genuine and true to her, not something she felt she "should" have in her home. What impressed me the most was how she was able to make it feel so lived in and decorated in the same amount of time that I have lived in my home, and I am nowhere near where she is in terms of renovations, window treatments, etc.!! Beautiful and impressive.

[@roxannegordon6162]

I love color, wallpaper and art. My own words echo hers. I have art on my walls; art I created with acrylics I painted. I also have quilts I made years ago. I have wallpaper around my house also with color and patterns I like. It's different designs and color from room to room. I'm in the process of looking at paper for the foyer for a pop of color and to separate the space from the living area. She did great with her foyer that is about the size of mine. Hope mine turns out as well. Good job!

[@gladysperez8156]

I love Mrs. Gregg Irving home design decoration prevention because she is relax, each room is a gallery full of beautiful motifs. It’s great to have the spaces to be able to place the items you like, love, and treasure. This video I’m sure is a treasure to learn about not just home decoration but about fine arts, fabric, and wall painting, family heirlooms,& the soul of a home. ( I love that she says “I sit here when my husband cook. & and that unity, trust and love). I enjoyed and thank Homeworthy!
