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!

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.

[@monkeybearmax]

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

[@turtlevincent10]

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

[@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 ❤

[@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.

[@Sobrien724]

I had to snicker that she mentioned about downsizing in the beginning but then mentioned about making a porch a bedroom and knocking out a wall to make the kitchen larger. I understand where’s she’s coming from but my family would be fine in the square footage of that home. It’s all subjective.

[@proverbs3150]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@hahayouarefunny]

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

[@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!

[@annhenry3135]

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

[@TGSHomeandGarden]

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

[@sumar207]

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

[@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.

[@dvinedzine]

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

[@waltonbone6038]

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

[@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.

[@2010lrain]

What a Gorgeous home ❤. I love the pattern and colours especially . It's also very comfortable and beautifully curated. There's not one room I dislike 😊

[@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.

[@NashBashy]

Love, love, love that cozy room - the one that she said she may go into to have drinks with friends later in the evening. So cozy & beautiful.

[@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.

[@Beautiful131313]

Exactly 💯

[@c.o3301]

That cat looks like a wise old man

[@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.

[@savorit3807]

What a cozy ,gorgeous abode❤

[@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 ~

[@debrahayes3778]

English Tudor, wow! Color, artwork, Chinoiserie, family heirlooms, wallpapers and a beautifully defined floor plan and gardens! Wow again! I love this home on so many levels along with the homeowner! What fun! This is one to watch again! 💖💖🌺🌺 Heartwarming!

[@Veronica705]

I love the way she has mixed and matched different patterns, colours and textures so well. Some very bold decisions. I wish people weren't afraid of color.

[@donnavorbach215]

This was the most exceptional home I have ever toured! Outstanding!,,,🎉🎉🎉

[@jimaalexander6021]

Perfection! A top 10 home tour for sure! I’ll watch over and over again. The green colors are incredible. Thank you for inviting us into your home.

[@nicolrim]

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

[@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.

[@lindadority1056]

their grandparents had excellent taste

[@rmonson5002]

They were Southern.

[@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!

[@ejohnson4321]

Southern Gentility at its best. What a delight to be guided throughout this beautiful home by such a graceful woman. The ease of her persona (jeans and espadrilles) makes the tour so relatable, and what a figure for a woman with two grown children. Kudos, Lady!

[@shayfisk-steinbronn1053]

Coming from an artist let me say well done! I adore color mostly i love the bravery to mix old and new and not to be affraid to collaborate all colors and patterns incorporating old books and cook books its simply so much fun to have fun and to be able to look around and absolutely love the spaces weve created!!! Without a doubt Homeworthy

[@kentuckyhome6637]

Love all the bold and beautiful wallpaper!! Color, pattern, style~a feast for the eyes!! WOW!

[@isabelledavies42]

This women is very passionate about her home. She has been so busy wallpapering and filling her home with so much treasures object. I love her house. It is a labour of love.

[@CharisseKenionYT]

I love how each room has its own look. Makes me feel like my Victorian home (divided rooms) can serve up many different moments. I love Gregg's attention to detail and colour combinations.

[@letitrejo9332]

Her Home is truly a Great Work of Art. Love 💚💚💚

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

I wanna highlight your not-so-large kitchen cause it showcases a more intimate and cozy living space. Your unique arts are also captivating. 🥰🥰

[@jennahaines9477]

This is my most favorite home ever, ever, ever!!!!!!!!!!! The design style is exactly what I want to have in my future home. I love every detail and the sophisticated use of color. As a resident of Atlanta myself, I always loved this style of home and aspire to have a home just like it. The art collection is magnificent. My Aunt + grandmother have similar design styles and I always felt like royalty in their homes. Love everything about this.

[@dwagnerful]

Gorgeous home. She is a maximalist master of pattern and color coordination! I like unique and highly detailed and curated homes... I could live in the space truly!

[@vjhreeves]

That orange color-drenched hall/alcove is fantastic!

[@jilltodd622]

Love this! Divided rooms are underrated, my open concept is difficult to decorate and I would love to live in an older home like this. Now I know how to pronounce chinoiserie with a southern accent 😄

[@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

[@debrahayes3778]

I hope you will find brightness in your life. 🙏

[@Michyhauser]

My favorite room is that side room with the Dark Green Paint and small sofa. That room feels safe and cozy ! I love it!

[@RedzJackz]

Always loved a Tudor style home

[@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!

[@carolynratliff1380]

I just love the wallpaper and all of the colors…….I want a dressing room just like yours…….I am so very jealous…….the lampshades are gorgeous…..hugs carolyn from Columbus GA

What a cozy and beautiful home. I love all the fabrics, trinkets, and art work that she has used. I think that I would be in the backyard all the time; it's so serene. As particular about her artwork that she is, I am surprised that she has not installed one of the slim television sets that look like artwork? 🤔

[@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.

[@Sobrien724]

@@TubeTorteExactly my thoughts. I enjoy these videos but I’m in a different position. I can’t buy a home for over a million a say let’s change everything. But I did enjoy seeing what she and her husband did to the house.
