I could have watched an hour of these two ladies talking design. Gorgeous home.

[@blackirisvtg143]

agreed! a show and especially a retail shop to visit!

[@josephinebrevig8748]

Dear House & Garden….you need to consider longer videos sometimes. I know this is content marketing for your magazines. What a treat it would be to have a 30 minute home tour. Absolutely loved this video and these delightful sisters 😊❤

[@janetanderson495]

When little girl twins get to decorate a whole apartment, not just their bedroom. 💖

[@thompsonsmith000]

Hello dear 🖐 How are doing today?

[@Ayt-uo2me]

What a happy home filled with memories and curated in such a lovely way. The girls are also such great storytellers. I can't believe they're not twins in this life too!

[@geemo4284]

So refreshing to see colour, humour and lightness of touch in an interior design video. I love to see something that doesn’t look ‘designed’, but is obviously created with flair and creativity.

[@anttoronto3202]

What was everybody thinking with minimalism? This is beautiful!!

[@sdmsdm7926]

If I were the Landlord of this property, I would be more than honored to have these designers as my tenants....they seem happy to be living there, and have done such a great job making it their home....just so vibrant and lovely!

[@annishilcock4587]

Wonderful prints and pictures, the unnabashed personal taste, not the curated taste of the latest trendy stylist is so refreshing and inspiring! Lovely home, thanks for inviting us to visit.

[@michellepress4172]

Another wonderful video. I love that this house is a rental and the women have loved it and put a stamp on it like they own it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cooperwesley1536]

I love to see a well-designed home that is obviously used and lived in. I could tell that every single item in that house was carefully chosen and acquired... and yet nothing is particularly precious. We should all take a lesson from these two lovely ladies.

[@batubop651]

Beautifully curated home! Lovely to see the strong influence of their mother’s style, but with their own whimsical and fun spin on it. Perfectly matches their free-spirited personalities, what a wonderful relationship they have!

[@brendaguerin5423]

I was lost in their stories, time went so fast. I wanted more!!!💝💝💝

[@noreenalexander3836]

what a beautiful and cheerful home, and not a brown leather sofa in sight! Well done ladies!

[@mabelsto.domingo1824]

Beautiful home. Full of character. I am drawn to these kind of houses where you get to know what the owners are like.

[@sunitashastry5270]

What a cheerful place. I love the way they have used material and florals designed by their family. Truly a place it’s so much color and pattern - I could see myself living there. It’s true one can even decorate e rental to suit one’s taste- few of us do that though! We wait till we buy houses to really put our stamp on them. Lovely video!

[@annolsen4943]

This is a beautiful home. Just stunning, but there is a lot here that one can copy even on a budget. I think I am going to even do similar curtains between the doorway in our living room/kitchen. Her mother had blue opaline glass in her apartment in New York: but you can still find beautiful blue Bristol glass that is the same effect but less expensive. Another thing people can do is to learn straight seam sewing. I sew a lot for my home. I have had an unusual situation happen where I inherited six grandchildren--full siblings. We are living chic by jowl in a small cottage. I have a raincoat yellow living room full of lovely things.: just like their sunny room. I sew my own slip covers and do upholstery---we have a home with two Airedales, but I have outwitted those lumbering creatures by making washable slipcovers out of beautiful fabrics. So, when everyone plops down, I know I can wash them eventually. It doesn't look exactly like this---yet has the same vibe. My granddaughter painted a wall of de Gournay style birds and vines on her little sister's bedroom. I work hard to create an environment just like these two cool gals. I love videos like this as they are such a source of inspiration. These girls inherited their mother's taste, but they also have their own sensibilities. I wish they had a show they talk so well together. Once upon a time, world of interiors had an interview with their mother of her lovely apartment in New York---the apartment heard around the world. I can't find the video online, but I remember it so well. The stills of their mother's apartment are available to see online if you type in Carolina Irving New York. Well done House and Garden for posting this beautiful video.

[@AnnaMaledonPictureBookAuthor]

I live in Scotland, so they have a bit more light, I have to be surrounded by colour - it's an antidode to the luck of light. My kitchen is white and black, but when you open my dish cupboard, the dishes are super colourful.

[@narayaninag9836]

Charming.

[@rachelrudi8958]

okay but are we not talking about the living room ottoman coffee table? where do i find one like that?!

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Oh this is GLORIOUS. What a stunning home, a proper home. These two have a fantastic eye between them. I loved this. What made me laugh was seeing that green dining room and remembering an episode of a TV show called 'Country House Rescue' or something like that, where a so-called expert (ie; a self-important blowhard) chided the owners for painting their grand dining room a similar green to what Olympia and Ariadne painted theirs. She said, 'oh no, nooooo, you NEVER paint a dining room green, it's a no-no. It makes food look terrible and the guest's skin look sickly. There's a reason this is not the done thing'. She said something like that so haughtily, so rudely with such finality. Of course, since then I've been hypervigilant about spotting green dining rooms and much to my amusement, have clocked many an elegant green-walled dining room, well into the double digits now-- all in homes of extremely erudite, stylish, highly cultured and historically well informed people. I love these 'experts' and their strident dogma!😂🟢🟢🟢

Hello dear 🖐 How are you doing today ?

[@assel4225]

I am so surprised to hear “Almaty” as the name of the fabric!!! Actually I leave in Almaty. It's a beautiful city in Kazakhstan, Central Asia. I wonder did your parents ever visit Almaty, did your mother buy the fabric here or designed it by herself being inspired by the city? You have beautiful house! Thank you for the interview!

[@missmurrydesign7115]

Hey guys, I know nothing about the market and I'm looking to invest, any help? As well who can I reach out to?

[@StevenProctor-xr6pp]

stock market rally run is gone, but I'm not sure if equities will swiftly recover, keep falling, or fluctuate in a narrow range for a few weeks, or if things will quickly get worse. I'm under pressure to increase my $300k reserve.

[@JethroChayton]

Making touch with financial advisors like Julio Castillo he can assist you restructure your portfolio, would be a very creative option. Personal financial management will be crucial to navigating the next difficult times.

[@Tallulahdoris]

I agree with you! With his help, I diversified my 450k portfolio among different markets. During this bearish market period, I was able to produce a net profit of little over $1 million from high dividend yield stocks, ETFs and equity. However, the reality is that you cannot do it without a tried-and-true trading coach like Julio Castillo

[@admin....1727]

He's awesome he has managed my investment so well and my weekly returns are mind blowing. Could someone kindly leave his details here?

What's wrong with being born rich? Unless you're rich yourself and showing off a bit. You can most certainly have a lovely home without being rich.

@@milkshake3350no one said there was anything wrong with it. they just said it’s nice

[@milkshake3350]

@fayla8127 You're possibly right but it seems an odd thing to say. Why bring being rich into it, it's about design.

[@legroom4575]

​@@milkshake3350because you'd have to be rich to afford that kind of house and many of the objects in it!

Beautiful home but why the need to blur out the vase? Conservative censorship contrasting too harshly with a home breathing free art.
