[@happycanadianguy]

This woman's design sense is beyond. Her understanding of colour is flawless. She, unlike so many "Interior designers" is an actual interior designer.

[@awake8806]

Yes!

[@deedled4879]

Agree

[@cjdflkj]

Except her sofas do not face the tv at all. She’s a good decorator, but I feel like some of the design isn’t very practical to comfort

[@AndreeaNastase]

“I don’t need a coat closet, I need a bar” 😂 love her energy

[@marygreen3529]

Love Ms. Collins! Loved her dress attire. She wasn’t dressed unrealistically- like a 1960’s wife about to have a dinner party. Love her sweet spirit reflected in her home. Love the way she honored the previous home owner. She seems like she’d be a great friend and staying at her home would be a grand treat!!

[@creativelady7]

Amen to all you say!

[@barbarathomas2471]

I’d like to know where she got that blazer.

[@itsjustmommyitsjustmommy1016]

Mary, you nailed it. She has a very sweet spirit indeed.

I am in heaven. This home is so inspiring. The pink sofa took my breath away. I love the mix of european,french,oriental and modern influences scattered throughout. I can't say enough about the use of armless chairs and sofas. In a small home it can maximize seating options. This is a testament to the fact if done correctly small homes can be inviting, cozy and even look and feel larger than they actually are. We need a book from this designer.

[@ap2179]

Love the dog faucet. Great idea! And very cool to cut out piece of flooring to place doormat INSIDE the floor so it's not a trip hazard. Genius ☺️

[@anjasteinbauer6957]

Yes, the dog corner is great.

[@chemokiki]

This woman is so cute and has such good energy I loved her walk-through. The epitome of Southern Charm!

[@crowquilltarot]

How delightful! Thank you for another great tour, and to Cynthia for inviting us all in. What a happy house; I will watch again and again.

[@keithharmis31]

I LOVE this woman and I LOVE her house!!! Best Homeworthy episode ever!!!

[@rashmichaudhary5180]

Rare moments when you get to see the deep Artistic side of the designer with her versatile scope and utility in her day-to-day life of decorating her own house. This house tour is a visual treat for me. A little drama of lights, colors and collection ✨

[@karenstanislaw8912]

Such a heart-centered, heart-directed hostess. Notice Cynthia's description of people and objects as having alot to do with quality of heart, good feeling, warmth, soulfulness.. I like her, and like her home ,which she describes as having had an embracing, positive energy upon first entering - so she does as well. I, too, had a golden retriever, and so can appreciate the depth and poignancy of that loss. Lovely, lovely place expressing interest, care, magnanimity - a vibrant, and grounded life. So much thanks.

[@twistoffate4791]

Well-stated. And my heart broke for her regarding the passing of her Golden Retriever as well. I have been through those losses myself, and they hurt like hell.

[@kimclarke5018]

This is the second time I’ve seen her home. It’s stunning and she is a delight. Laid back interior designer with phenomenal taste.

[@dbright566]

Absolutely gorgeous home! And absolutely gorgeous host. When she said she had been a designer for 37 years I couldn't believe it. She doesn't even look like she could be 37 years old.

[@kateoliviaireland9808]

Dog water station is genius !

[@susanstacy2493]

What a beautiful home! She seems like a very sweet and thoughtful person. She has some great pieces, but nothing feels "untouchable" as sometimes happens in a home. She's lucky that she was able to have a relationship with the previous owner and was able to purchase some great things. I'm so glad that she didn't gut the house and make it an open concept and paint everything gray! It's always nice to see homes that have personality. I enjoyed that she shared her thought process. How many people would have made such a small room like she did with the green one? This is one of my favorites that Homeworthy has shared. Thank you and thanks to Ms. Collins.

[@blancasanchez3536]

I love Homeworthy’s platform and Allison’s approach to the home tours. They allow the homeowners to narrate and show their lovely homes without too much interference from Allison. Unlike the the host of another home tour (the host Susanna talks too much and can be so distracting). Beautiful home and loved the homeowner’s down-to-earth personality, she was so thorough.

[@EveD123]

Suzanna talks way too damn much for such short videos

[@FreckledGemini]

This is a truly beautiful place. It’s just yummy! Her eye for color is obviously a talent as well as a honed skill. She’s fabulous. She seems so very down to earth and relatable. Super refreshing. 😊✌🏼

[@carmel-wayfinder5401]

Totally agree with you to me she is a real natural designer

[@neweverymorningmercy3491]

That sofa in the entry is the most beautiful sofa I have ever seen, makes me feel happy and really sets the tone for all who enter. She has soul that works beautifully with the house's soul! So many great ideas, love the framed paper dolls! Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful home and all the thought process behind it.

[@michellepereira2328]

What a beautiful home. My favorite room was the small green tv room. That color is great and the detail on the ceiling and that pendant are perfect.

[@mittens4kittens435]

I love the circular sofa and want the pink sofa! I love her personal style and how she is gracious to the previous owners of the home instead of putting down their style.

[@gailmiller6333]

Lucia Olson Agree. I really love how she was very gracious concerning the previous owners without callously putting down their style. Very, very refreshing. Her home, although not quite my style, is beautiful.

[@kimtaff1932]

@@gailmiller6333 I noticed that too! Well done.

[@adamgottschalk1907]

Love her, love the house!!! Both are just delightful!!! I personally love color so this was a feast for my eyes!!! Thank you so much to Cynthia and Homeworthy for giving us a tour!!❣💕❣

[@elle6952]

I didn't think I would like this tour since it's not my style, but I really enjoyed it. The designer is so warm and inviting, I loved how went for a cozy feel over a "bigger in Texas" vibe. The pink room and green room are amazing.

[@thoughts3897]

I agree. I love seeing places that are "not my style" but it looks so interesting--as she said in the video --personal. That's what is always inviting to me. Someone is sharing their story. That is what a home should be.

[@1TigerJo]

@@thoughts3897 Except it was a lot I didn't need to see...but she's sweet, lots of sentiment and down to earth. Just couldn't handle the interior mix of choices, but I do love the bookcase with the bed in front of it - and the windows she added and the sentiment of things she found.

[@thoughts3897]

@@1TigerJo Not my style either, but so much better to see homes with personality rather than same old, same old. No one can say that this is "same old."

[@1TigerJo]

@@thoughts3897 yeah, I don't like samo, samo either - but, I still want to like the choices - they just are so off for me that it didn't work.

[@VousEtre]

Good call on keeping those bookshelves in the bedroom. Love all the details in her home. Very tasteful. Very inspiring.

[@michaelwimbish7766]

Uber elegant use of color and whimsy. Her talent for perfectly meshing color and pattern is inspiring.

[@patriciasalem3606]

Alison, you are really hitting it out of the park with the home tours these last couple of weeks! Another beautiful inspiration! I love the mix of Chinoiserie, English antiques, and a little bit of Palm Beach Regency style. The colors were abundant without being overwhelming. Every room was a little jewel. Cynthia, I'm so sorry about the loss of your dog, and I hope you find a new companion soon.

[@AnhVu-mn5lz]

Delightful woman with a generous spirit who designed a beautiful home for actual living and enjoyment.

[@heatherharmon2679]

Her house and her sweet personality have been my favorite so far! 🥰

[@beatrizgray5975]

Dallas is definitely a true player in the design world. Cynthia Collins is amazing! Please do a tour of Leslie Jenkins next. I feel like they both have made a huge impact on the way we decorate in Dallas. Great tour!

[@sineadkellyartist]

Home reflects her warm personality- some wonderful choices in art and fabrics 👏👏

[@angelaberni8873]

I particularly loved how gracious she was when talking about the previous owners. Beautiful home and a lovely lady.

[@Monica.Corrie]

This by far, has been my most favorite house tour I’ve seen. A feast for the eyes is an absolute understatement! I am joyously inspired by this incredible home and designer!

[@suecox2308]

Delightful. One of the homes I feel I could move into without changing a thing.

[@gailboots1072]

The house is lovely and quite interesting with all the different patterns and styles that seem to work together. She has such a loving soul. To get emotional about our pows. I too wore a pow bracelet. Great tour!

[@raffaellarabizzi129]

Green and blue together 😀best choice

[@victoriaeaton7298]

What a delight! I feel like I spent the morning with a friend. Her home was beautiful and so was she. I hope she gets a new puppy soon. I would've like to see how a dog is able to be in and out of such a beautiful space. My husband wants one and I wrestle with the decision.

[@sandramalone3522]

Love the entry way. From a dead space, she created a functional area.

[@myworldininteriordesign3445]

Cynthia, you got me when you said you don’t need a closet but you need a bar 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Homeworthy thanks so much for doing this video. I first toured this house through the Potted Boxwood page but I love the fact this is a full screen so it can be truly appreciated. But don’t get me wrong, I love @thepottedboxwood ❤️ Please, Homeworthy, if you ever want to entertain Delaware, I would love to have you here in our #slowerlowerdelaware

[@k.h.walker2378]

My favourite thing was the mobile of notes from supportive friends. What a great inspirational touch!

[@ruralangwin]

I was thinking 'here we go another matron in a house dress.' Surprise how fresh and fun!

[@ArielWilliams1493]

So inspirational! So beautiful! So thought out! Could go on and on. I’m sat here taking notes! A true design genius.

[@judithclark2823]

This is such a calming, colorful, charming home that Cynthia has created. I love the colors and patterns and textiles in the fabrics that she’s used. That area for her soon to be new pet is sheer genius with the water tap! Last but not least, all those windows making the home light and bright, feeling alive and fresh is just sublime. Thank you for this tour.

Me encantó esta casa y creo que la Sra tiene muy buena vibra. Felicidades disfrute su hermosa residencia!

[@epluribusunum1460]

If I had dreamed up that wallpapered vent, I would consider it indeed a work of art, and I’d use it in any promotional materials I would create, as an example of my aesthetic and my creativity, and of my experienced and trusted master craftsman’s work. Just look what you bring to a project!

[@makemepaper9749]

Wow! What an inspirational house. Love all the colour and pattern. Such amazing taste. Fabulous!

[@tyxeri48]

Regardless of whether I like the objects or the furniture or her specific choices, I really like the house. It's personal, it's whimsical, it's inviting, and has the right amount of stuff for the size of the space. It doesn't feel claustrophobic and overloaded, unlike the previous two homes. Oh, and also, no dead animals on the walls!

[@Jason-by4ji]

I absolutely 💯 love the decor, this lady is so talented, and such a genuine host.

[@morticiagomez6166]

Thank you for this, Homeworthy! It was a Feast for the eyes!!

[@thepatriotess4279]

What a nice person, she could be a snob but isn’t. Love her style. She is very creative. I like how she kept some things from previous owner, I loved how pleasing to the eye every room is, the cozy green room and pink bedroom, and 3 bed bedroom, and the kitchen, love. Another thing that stood out was the paint, wallpaper, and wall finishes. Whoever did all the work, so beautifully done. I wish I could afford to have her do my whole house.

[@pman2916]

I wish she mentioned where she got her gorgeous light shades in the lounge. Those are very impressive. Stunning home!!

[@abacus299]

Beautiful home. My favourite room is the jewel green TV snug. Makes me rethink small spaces. How lovely that she has included some of the previous owner's treasures. Hope the thoughtful dog area gets a lucky resident. Some great tours and inspiring homeowners lately. 🙏🙏

Loved all of her wallpaper choices. Oh, and the kitchen is perfection! Cynthia is a true designer with serious talent, and she seems like a total sweetheart too. If I lived in Texas, I'd give her carte blanche to do my house!

this house is cool! Colorful, functional and elegant without being fussy or pretentious! And excellent art. Love!!

[@divasmother9372]

We have a very contemporary home. Glass, stainless, neutral decor. It is a small townhome so I feared using a lot of colour and heavily patterned fabrics. Our previous home was very traditional, antiques, French country. It was far more fun, as I see with this home. It is beautifully curated. Exquisitely done. Now I want to go back! Brava.

I think I also saw this home tour on The Potted Boxwood. But it was worth seeing again.

I will definitely have to watch this video again because there is so much to take in. Ms. Collins was such a down-to-earth host, not ostentatious at all. She seems like she would be a sweet person to know and have as a neighbor and girlfriend. 💙💜💚🖤💗

You're a heartfelt designer. Your gift for designing was bestowed to you from Heaven. The ability to design and bring beauty to the lives and homes of others, is second to the gift of joy that God has given you to leave & to bestow within each home you are assigned to bless. You're a special soul. I hope you know this.
