A Designer's Enchanting Château in the Eastern Townships of Québec

Interior Designer Scott Yetman gives us a tour of his enchanting French country home named Fox Hill. Step into a rotunda entrance with 22-foot-high ceilings, black and white checkerboard floors and an ethereal mural that soars to the ceiling. Antique doors lead into the great room, where a dining room and living room overlook the beautiful Lac-Brome. Scott’s signature black and white palette can be seen throughout, such as in the moody bar area and expansive cook’s kitchen that features a walk-in fridge, charcoal BBQ, and two types of ovens. The laundry room gets a dose of color with yellow wallpaper designed by Kit Kemp in London.

I’m glad the home found someone who appreciated its quirkiness and history and renovated it in away that it brings it in the modern times without taking its soul away. 👏🏽🙌🏾

[@htown3728]

Its a very interesting home. Not my style though. The only think I liked was the green chair sitting behind the couches. But the builder def have grand imagination.

[@sunflower8035]

Agreed!

[@oyvey764]

WOW I love the modern take on the chateau. So happy to see a house that was so well built being loved and updated. So often now, we tear down and build new ... "disposable architecture" . The original owner had it well built and Scott saw the quality and had the vision to make it his own... Bravo!

[@UMVELINQANGI]

This house is stunning in all its idiosyncratic glory, very nicely appointed by the brilliant Mr. Yetman. Not at all the typical boring, cookie-cutter white box. Bravo!

[@cargogh]

It's never my business if a new owner absoulutely guts a house. But the story is more enjoyable when they can find respect for what's there, and make it theirs without major alterations. They always seem to love it more too. This seems to be that case. Boland's door, the pineapple, black stairs, and green carpet--the bomb!

[@AVA-MARIA]

I like his attitude of sometimes I’m little bit country and sometimes I’m a little bit rock and roll - don’t put me in a box!!

[@twistoffate4791]

Same reaction here.

[@JustCallMeJaph]

I love a dark, moody color palette.

[@britneydaniels6294]

It’s nice to hear how this designer has evolved. I’ve never heard that before. It’s very inspiring to see a designer move through life and it’s changes gracefully. He’s truly free to create. I love it!

[@brefranco2060]

This home is great but I am just so impressed by the owner's personality. He seems so down to earth and I love that he says "don't put me in a box" with regards to style

[@jennifergraham3752]

“Aunty Betty in the closet” 🤣. What a beautiful home.

[@risk5riskmks93]

I love his attitude. And plus, someone else who, like me, actually hung the tv at eye level when people are sitting.

[@LeticiaAGentil]

You've made an excellent point! Tvs should always be hung at eye level. I HATE to break my neck or to practically lay down to watch tvs that are hung to high! I hate that so much that I've refused to hang my TV and use it with the pedestal that comes with it

[@jacquiwmch]

Nobody puts Scott in the corner! Beautiful person, beautiful home. I'm in love.

[@lucyt4143]

The character on the white and blue lamps are "double happiness "👍🏻

[@toyaevette3155]

One of the most amazing homes I’ve ever seen! It’s the little things especially that kitchen! Walk in fridge and the bbq! I love the black and all the doors!

[@IGuess...]

THIS!!!! 💯 He ATE this house!

[@FGL902]

I SCREAMED at the cloakroom... the orange boxes + slow reveal of "Auntie Betty" just killed me. Love the thoughtful touches in the original architecture of the lined silver storage cabinet, drawer for flower arrangements, and fox details throughout. Beautiful Canadian art.

[@dianebaker5243]

Beautiful home loved listening to the master of the house sharing his story how he designed his home.thanks for sharing 👍🐰🐣

[@traceye.6428]

Scott, YOU’RE A GENIUS!! I do believe that Fox Hill was meant to be yours. I love every single thing you’ve done. EVERYTHING. What else can I say, to me, it’s perfect!!!

[@Dain75]

I don’t know why, but I feel like this person showing the house would make a wonderful best friend or close friend. His voice is calming, he speaks intelligently, he’s interesting, and he seems like someone I would be glad to know. The fact that he has great taste and a fun sense of humour are a bonus.

[@sacdigitaldesignweb]

This is one of my favorites. No muss no fuss. Everything makes sense. The underlying logics is so wonderful but rare to see here.

[@Peppermintytea]

What a fabulous design and personality! Adore all the black. Auntie Mame playing in the background is the cherry on top.

[@EpikAda]

This dude is absolutely hilarious, what an inspired home. I spit my water out when I saw the random portrait for the queen lol. Loved how he kept the character and added edge at the same time.

[@kamakauli]

I just love this guy! He’s so fabulous and there is something so damn attractive about his vibe ❤️

[@JL-hw5hu]

Yes 🤭

[@sunflower8035]

This designer is fabulous! Loveeeeeee everything he created. And what a fun personality “Little Country Little Rock n Roll” 🎶🎶. Boy did he bring back memories Donnie & Marie

[@sunflower8035]

I just love Scott!! “Aunt Betty” “Guess what Scott did” 😂. He’s the perfect human for FoxHill 🦊

[@kimberleymansfield1099]

The MOST FABULOUS house EVER shown, either on your channel or in the pages of the magazine, HANDS DOWN!!!!! I feel like I was let inside to wander a most secret and magical miniature castle. What a rare treat. Thank you!

[@lindakilson-adeyemi2623]

I'm totally with you on this one!

[@kint5ugee]

I love the mixing of traditional and modern. So well done

[@rcwstudio]

WOW- Perfection in every aspect- my dream home- just stunning in every way! OBSESSED

[@krazychilel]

This house is amazing even the old pictures I would live in that house

[@sophial.6633]

This is my all time favorite house. I have watched this video a million times and I’m still in awe of how beautifully daring it is. To me it is absolutely perfect.

[@AMan-sf2uz]

I like this house. It has character. Unlike many houses where they just put all the trendy elements there with no soul.

[@tmz85]

I’m just gobsmacked at how much I love this home, although I’m a very urban/city kind of person. His brilliant decoration beautifully enhances everything about this country house without pigeon holding it. Well done. AD needs to feature this place in its magazine.

[@JL-hw5hu]

Agree!!

[@soniadeebee6391]

I love Scott - "don't put baby in the corner" ! I think this might be the best house I've ever seen. EVER. The art, the paint colour, the furnishings.... Just that right balance of old and new. Gorgeous.

[@debzeb6899]

This is one of my favourite homes.

[@bernicevanwinkle1769]

I love this designer!!! Such an INCREDIBLE space!! AND I love his SASS! He's right! Don't you dare put baby in the corner!! LOL!

[@JacyOnTheFly]

Auntie Mame on the telly! ❤

[@rubychew6535]

Beautifully designed by using black and white as its focal point. The yellow and green wallpaper is beautiful.

[@elizabethheatley22]

Love Scott’s irreverent approach to design in this beautiful house while respecting it’s beautiful architecture. Hope that makes sense. It’s very obvious he loves his home but has chosen to show it by bringing in contemporary design that adds new and fresh life to the architecture. Would love to see if he has taken that same approach to the grounds/garden. Perhaps H&H can feature that when spring/summer finally arrives. Just a beautiful home!

[@cynthiaryan6391]

What a wonderful tour! I am the same way as a Designer-Don't put me in a box!!! Love all the juxtaposition! Love the bar and everything else-I think you and I could be good pals! Bravo on the house and the presentation!! Oh let's not forget that wall paper with the house and the fox! Divine!

[@trang8735]

This man's personality is everything! 🥰

[@g.aloysie8439]

the art in this house!!!! wow, just wow, especially the big painting of a woman in the entrance and the queens picture, I absolutely love it

[@cliffordl.4022]

Fabulous! Great taste, yet unpretentious. Love it. Love him.

[@timeandplace4114]

Adore the three part primary bath. Yes, yes, you respected the original beauty and uniqueness; then you made it even better and you. Thank you House & Home , and& Scott

[@cd2659]

I love that you put the dog bed in front of the fireplace. That tells us a lot about who you are.

[@heathermcrobert9779]

I would definitely live there. It has a comfortable homey feeling with splashes of opulence and uniqueness.

[@lucycastroval8390]

Wow. So impressive. Well done, Scott. Loved taking a tour with you. Talented and funny 😁 Don't you dare put Scott in a box!

[@ginafriend1690]

Such a great mix of vintage modern. Rooms to set whichever mood your in! 🙌 Fabulous home.

[@banditsmia9650]

I stayed glued through this whole video. Love this stunning house. Wish we got to go up the green stairs to see what was up there. I love the before shots, it showed just how much they changed.

[@maxinef6654]

The layout of his house is very interesting. A lot of secret doors and places.

[@richardgraham5598]

never at a loss for words, I was speechless from the entrance and then the adjoining hall. I am in awe of your prolific use of black 🏆

[@sophial.6633]

Oh my goodness I love this gentleman! He has a wonderful energy and he has such a great eye for things. His home is perfect.

[@carolefreeman2544]

Fox Hill is a beautiful home with great personality! ❤🇨🇦

[@hsmd4533]

What a character! The owner is the star of this video. I love this guy (and the house).

[@diannecoyne993]

Great home and you did a wonderful job in your re-hab. I'm not a jealous person but that kitchen is beyond wonderful... the silver cabinet, all the stoves and cooktops, your several china and crystal cupboards, oh my goodness! Your flower spot! And that Green Carpet! Wow oh wow, oh. I'm going to cry.

[@france4me117]

Absolument magnifique! J'aime tout simplement le fait que cet architecte d'intérieur a gardé l'intégrité du bâtiment et a travaillé autour de lui. Absolument amoureux :)

Gobsmacked!!! What an incredible house!!!

[@wissalmchalabi5498]

I like when he said "Don't put me in a box " .

[@michelemurphy3541]

Came back around because this house is so delicious. If you ever ever decide you must sell…my dream has been to move *(back) to Quebec and I am obsessed with your design and in my dreams…would love to live with the foxes, by a lake, in this exquisite beauty. A dreamy dream. Beautiful work .

[@michelemurphy3541]

Ps. If you ever need an attendant | maid | chef | gardener…I would love to apply.

[@Emma-py8km]

You did an amazing job. I loooooove what you did with the stairs. Congratulations

[@ellap8231]

I love this house and how designer transformed it. Love his style so much. So livable!

[@lorrygeewhizzbang9521]

Lovely mix of traditional and modern.

[@bernicevanwinkle1769]

STUNNING!!!!!!!! I love Scott so much!!!!!!!

[@Laura_G]

The architecture is lovely. The palette is bleak with the exception of the utility area with that buttery yellow wallpaper. But to each their own.

[@sladjanasimic5486]

Unique home and that's exactly what I love about it. Memorable for sure. 👍👍👍

[@michelemurphy3541]

Delish. I come here to browse through this beautiful home every couple months. I love it so much. The fox are perfection.

[@paulapeeler3157]

LOVE IT!... Absolutely loved the pops of green...

[@bevbossio7083]

This is amazing!! It might sound crazy, but I have to agree ... I believe this was definitely meant to be yours ... it's so inspirational.

[@Lizwindsor]

OMG. I love this home! 🙏

[@LeticiaAGentil]

My bedroom is painted black and Dante, my 4 years old son, room is painted navy blue. Because my son is stylish he decided I should paint the entire house black including, of course, his bedroom. He woul LOVE this house and its paintings because he loves everything that is spooky. I love this incredible house! Please show more of Scott's work!

[@MzShonuff123]

It makes it cozy

[@LeticiaAGentil]

@@MzShonuff123 it's true! I find my black bedroom extremely cozy! Especially when we close the blackout curtains to sleep and it becomes super dark inside

[@sophien5416]

I love love LOVE this home! So much attention to detail and appreciation for curation of objects. No one ought to put Scott in a box! Lol

[@sableann4255]

love the black paint!!! looks amazing

[@annekeller7828]

Amazing

[@ReFFigueiredo3]

I loved everything about your house. The house had so many cool features already when you bought it, and you made everything looks better after the renovation. I mean, updating and giving it a more 2022 look, but keeping the house soul! Incredible house!

[@julieschaff5141]

Wow! Incredible house, just wonderful! The black is beautiful, nicely done I’m jealous.

[@rneustel388]

I adore this home, especially all the 🦊

[@OhJanney]

Wow, that kitchen is amazing!!! That house is amazing! Those windows are amazing!

[@sladjanasimic5486]

I don't like black color at all, but when is used on such tasteful and skilled way I love it. Beautiful!

[@cindybennett9923]

Foxhill is lucky to have Scott, and Scott is lucky to have Foxhill! Love his attitude about designing with all kinds of styles...his Donny and Marie comment made me smile. Though not my style, I can admire his choices and feel the love he's put into his home.

[@victoriaalgra3675]

I love it! I’m loving throwing the TV up on the wall no matter! It’s how we live! Bravo to you’re dedicated design and to those black and White floors 🕶🎩♟🎬

[@debzeb6899]

I have olive green carpet in my hallway and lounge and it’s been my plan to rip it up but now I’m appreciating it!

[@Gilded_angel]

I found this home super interesting and cozy. He’s a very smart designer. I wished he and I were friends, lol. I love his energy.
