This channel really inspires me to treasure the items I inherited from my aunt. I was so overwhelmed by her “old” stuff, but now I have a different attitude toward them.

[@lr50plus54]

Good for her! 4 rescue pets!

[@twistoffate4791]

I didn't realize Michelle had a cat until she got to the stone wall room. Love animals!!

[@suskelleykelley7241]

Your animals seem so happy!? Good for you to rescue them. Nice redoo. Home

[@olgak506]

what makes her unique is that she doesn't stick to one theme but actually has multiple collections of art that are spread out around the house, they don't repeat each other , they are all different , divided by rooms and walls, they surprise you , they keep you gazing and studying and reflecting ... Love !

[@laurapearson3370]

That sun room is crying out for plants

[@twistoffate4791]

Michelle is a kindred spirit. I like her & her husband's choice of home & the renovation, especially the kitchen with the showstopper oven, is beautiful. She is not the first video I have seen with a collection of "stranger portraits," which I find fascinating. She is like me in that she chooses items that speak to her whether anyone else gets her or not, and she loves her dogs, has a dog art section & loves to sit in the light of her sun porch. Then my stomach dropped. I caught sight of her panoramic black & white vintage photo wall & knew we had much more in common than before. "We are not ornate people," she said, and I believe that what she has to offer in style, design & decor is just plain perfection. Thank you for a most fabulous tour of a wonderful home!!!

Hey you got my grandma on your wall ,can I have her painting ,picture back? 🤣 jokes.

[@janetstear8906]

As an avid art lover and collector…bravo on your collection!!!

[@joannlesch9075]

Your animals are really fortunate. I love your kitchen! Beautiful cabinetry.

[@chelsea7229]

I absolutely loved her space. Thanks for a nice long video so it didn’t feel too rushed!

[@egarvey6403]

She had my attention with stranger art. No window treatments, crisp white baseboards and trim seem to keep it looking uncluttered. Maximalist interior design at its best. Love that she surrounds herself with items she loves. Most importantly the cats and dogs are well pampered and loved, cute how they followed her around during filming. Thank you for the longer video, liked seeing more details.

[@juliehowell8251]

Wow... The dining room! Love Love Love

[@jbedard]

She’s such an inspiration to me. I’m a Rhode Island gal and I love her tie to Newport

[@ebonylocks9234]

She's has an amazing home. The fact that she loves the art pictures of people she doesn't know, was a WOW for me.

[@craigslistposting8089]

this house is so much like a vintage store... like she said I love to collect.

[@HannaARTzink]

I love houses with artwork, good vibe, good light, devoid of pure clutter.

[@craftingwithcharm7665]

Love love love the cat portrait over the fireplace, the Built-in bookshelves, the oversized dog bed, her fur babies 🐕 🐈 the corner sink with the lighting above it, all of the chandeliers & wall sconces, the lavender chairs, The dog gallery wall, The can opener collection, the stirrup cups so cool, The little locks on the kitchen cabinets, Her quirky style of loving all those stranger portraits 🕵️‍♀️ I just love everything about her house & the way she decorated it. What a lovely lady oh can’t forget the hubby’s study that was cool love that he calls it his museum! 🧐🤭🤗

[@jennifer-threedogsinagarde8265]

Love the home and these longer videos that really look at all the little things that make the space.

[@georoldao5270]

Beautiful house , full of nice pieces, personal objects and memories….

[@hv1946FLUSA]

What a lovely home. I like that you are an interior decorator, but instead of loading your home with custom pieces that show off your $$$$, you have curated well with found objects and comfortable furniture so we put together. Plus, you mentioned your husband enough to really make the house your home, not a lab for your profession. Not to leave out how your pets are part of your family. I wish you could help me curated and place my things!! Thanks for a beautiful episode of Homeworthy. Very refreshing!

[@kimberleylibby1028]

She has so many fun collections like the artwork and bottle openers. There's lots of personality in her home and it has a fun vibe to it... it's probably one of my favourite house tours that I've watched on youtube!

[@kbs7583]

What a wonderful animal mom! Her love for her fur kids just warms my heart.

[@elpizarro7029]

😅 wow she is definitely a collector of everything!!! 🎉 Love how she decorated her entire home !!🏆

[@carolcalicott1464]

Totally identify with someone who surrounds herself with the items she loves!

[@Cenepk101]

Me too. When she ages, as I have, you wonder bringing in something new if this will be THE object that flips the house over ! 😂. She has more time, still. I love layers & layers.

I don't know when I've loved a home more!

[@marty1159]

Everything about this is great. The home, all the art, whimsical little things, antique pieces and the cats and dogs. It is all just absolutely beautiful and has a soothing homey feel to it. The way she speaks about her husband and admired his collections is so sweet too.

[@sunitashastry5270]

Really enjoyed this one. Old house, very artistically decorated. The owners personality is there everywhere. I loved the man cave - it appears her husband also has great taste and it is truly is a man’s room. Her style is sophisticated yet personality-driven which is an amazing combination.

[@graceaxisa4213]

I have a few photographic portraits of couples who I don't know. They are beautiful and, in many ways, I felt like I was rescuing them when I came across them at the trash and treasure market. Just think of all the gorgeous portraits that are abandoned and forgotten over the years! I love the painting of the strawberry tops. The colour palette and composition are quite sophisticated. This house tour was such a delight. This house has personality!

[@philiplong7390]

Not only a wonderful home with really great pieces. Michelle comes across as a really nice person. Love her rescued animals. Lots of interior designers come across as not very nice people however you just know she would be wonderful to work with. Best wishes from London.

[@nomado3650]

Love your dogs and cats. ❤️ They look and behave as they’ve been utterly loved by you! 👏💕

[@robinduke3184]

I am so happy that I found this channel. I love the homes you show and how you allow the owners to tell their stories. Love Love Love this channel.

[@lusitannia]

It took me a minute to put my finger on why her home looked so unique and stunning, yet pulled together. She doesn't use window treatments! I also noticed in most of her portfolio, when she does a treatment, it's usually a roman shade. I wonder if she commented on this or why she makes that design choice? Either way, it gives a very architectural feel to have the windows be bare. Very interesting home. Lovely decor, great art and it feels so lived in and homey!

[@rosecolouredglasses]

Good catch! Although I think not having curtains is impractical for temperature regulation (and energy saving) esp in an old house

[@tommypsue]

Looks crisp by day (with fine windows) but hellish by night--windows become black mirrors, and the feeling of being seen twice: by potential outsiders, and yourself, while trying to look out?--no thanks! Drawing curtains closed, cocooning, is too much a pleasure to deny for the sake of an architectural vibe (in my unhumble opinion).

[@swisschalet1658]

@@tommypsue I agree. While I LOVE to see the architectural elements of great windows visible, I also love the look of a beautiful, voluptuous fabric curtain pooling onto the floor, or the structured look of a fabric covered valence...and the options for pattern are nearly endless. And having no privacy...not an option. I live in the woods entirely secluded, with no neighbors...yet I don't want to look at a black abyss at night.

[@UltimoDogLover]

A lot of contemporary housing does this. Especially if views are great. I like unobtrusive blinds the best that aren't noticeable when drawn. She has those in some of the windows. Window treatments are functional.

[@UltimoDogLover]

@@swisschalet1658 You can get wonderful blinds that are unobtrusive and unnoticeable when not drawn. She does have that in some of the windows.

[@BrokeDadProductions]

This is a beautiful and comfortable home. The styling is terrific and the collections are interesting. Kudos.

[@elizabethallen4353]

Absolutely love. She makes it look effortless.

[@AD-yk7mf]

[@michellecherie419]

I'm also very into stranger art!! I feel like it's rescuing them by giving these people another chance to shine 💙

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

The doggies and kitty are beautiful❤️ I enjoyed watching this 😀

[@elizabethheatley22]

Love this home! Definitely the English aesthetic which is my favourite! Curated, loved pieces that make a home.

[@karenstanislaw8912]

Over and over again I'm loving the power of these home visits as borometer/pause points of lives lived and led. The humanity is eternally fascinating. Best to this lovely young couple - continued collecting, tender and meaningful engagement. Thank you.

[@shireenriazikermani1894]

Wow! At first I was like, 46 minutes?!! But I loved every one of those minutes and could watch more. Stunning and love the backstories!

[@AnthonyL1983]

Beautiful home! Thank you for not knocking out all the walls of that beautiful old house. Having individual rooms is a wonderful thing!

[@deewilkerson2994]

Such respect for others by hanging portraits of unknown people. Visiting their home would never be boring! Love it!💕

[@user-ei1qj2pz8e]

Love her use of humor in the art and wallpaper!

[@sophiamagkouta3665]

The sun room is amazing!!!

[@cooperwesley1536]

As with most Homeworthy home tours, this one is both unique and fantastic. It's so refreshing to see people express themselves with color, eclecticism, whimsy, and individual style. If I were in need of a designer, Michelle would be on my shortlist... primarily because she understands that every home needs to be an authentic reflection of the owner's personality. No white-on-cream-on-grey boxes for her... and none for me, either. Many thanks!

[@tommypsue]

I love her style.

I enjoy these home tours so much. I’m so interested in seeing all the unique ways individuals decorate. It may not be my personal style but I appreciate so much how people express themselves in their home in such unique ways. I’m always intrigued. This was very enjoyable for me.

[@melindaferreira9879]

Great style. Love her individuality and humor in her decor.

Great tour and I love that it is filled with her and her husband's things, that is part of creating a home...many times decorators lose that direction and worry about following trends...

Lovely home and gorgeous fur babies ♥️🇬🇧

[@judithclark2823]

I feel a sense of kindred connection to this designer in her choice of gallery wall collections, especially the “stranger portrait art” she has grouped together and of course the vintage portraits of other peoples families. I love that quirky vibe! I could relate to this tour in such a personal way.

[@kelhen1983]

Amazing before and after!

[@chilloutlounge007]

frankly... i love it !! cheers!

[@tinamcivor2996]

[@nadiacoffey2609]

The living room is amazing. I love that she takes something that hasn’t seen love in a while and incorporates it. My desk I use for sewing is like that. It was filthy, I think it was in a basement or a garage. The top is a heavy heavy marble. I cleaned it just with soap and water and it’s an amazing desk. It looks a little beat up but I would never re finish or paint it. It’s perfect.

[@awake8806]

I love this home! I just checked out her beautiful portfolio and she is amazing with colors.

Thank you for the videos. Always excited to see the next video. Michelle is incredible skillful ID. She just know how to display all her antiques, vintage and cured items and you absolutely don’t see her house like just a collection of drift things but a unique beautiful artistically decorated house. She is authentic and it’s reflex it on her house. And bonus, she so naturally welcomes her husband’s decor ideas, ha!
