Inside Barry Dixon's Elway Hall

Barry Dixon invites us into Elway Hall, a 1907 Edwardian estate, located on nearly 300 acres of farmland in the heart of Virginia’s horse country. The interior designer feels more like a steward than an owner, and celebrates the stately home designed by famed architect H.H. Richardson. For Dixon, who epitomizes Southern hospitality, being a steward means sharing the house with family, friends, charities, the Warrenton Hunt, and now Schumacher! So giddy up and get ready to explore Elway Hall, where Dixon’s childhood spent abroad and the lush surrounding landscape infuse the estate with international charm.

Please please please a longer video with these two lovely people talking more about each room of their amazing home just filled with comfort and love....it ended far too soon

[@carollittle4056]

Stuff love it

[@mrgoldenboy1100]

YOU MEAN FILLED WITH CLUTTER AND DUST COLLECTORS.

[@Gweynn5]

I agree

[@carmenburnham1088]

How gorgeous. Wish this video was longer. This short one didn’t do it justice. So much to see in every room.

[@user-po3ko9yb5w]

Thank you for making it a NO Kill hunt, it meant I could watch and enjoy the tour of your lovely home 💌

[@witchescauldron]

I was the same ♡

[@monkeygraborange]

What really does one do with a dead fox?

[@witchescauldron]

@@monkeygraborange It's pretty gruesome...most of the time the fox is ripped in pieces, the tail is kept as a trophy and often used in initiation of new hunt members....

[@judybrock5360]

Agreed !

[@ANTIKIVIKI]

This is my favorite home, ever! I think they must be my brothers from another Mother!😂 Sorry, gotta go hit replay!!!

[@raffaellarabizzi129]

Such a timeless elegance, exquisite taste and relaxing comfort

[@WildWest144]

I can completely identify with the sentiment of the pea gravel drive. Wow! This home is beyond gorgeous, I love that its livable and collected. The ambiance wants you want to pack a suitcase and just go for a visit and out of all the homes I have viewed this one does my heart a lot of good. Yes, it looks like how a home should feel.

[@jamesallison4875]

Pea gravel!!! The best.

[@saramaybunnie1448]

Absolutely! Such a stunning and cosy HOME! Bravo!!! A truly beautiful aesthetic!!!

[@user-po3ko9yb5w]

Ohh and Dinah ( Washington) is simply Devine , both your 🐶 and the singer. Great name x

[@ginnyyount9127]

Well isn't this the most lovely welcome...warm and so very "non-museum" like...yet the exquisite collections capture your interest in the freshest way. How different and how wonderful. Well done!

[@ellaroberts1812]

Oh please!, go back and record only the kitchen, I need a full video of that romantic, cozy, warmth kitchen ❤

[@kerrinmenard2368]

I think this is one of the 3 most beautiful homes I have ever seen here. The choice of colours is amazing!!

[@heartofoak45]

I fully understand your closeness and affection for your home. My partner and I moved into our home 43 years ago as young men, I was 35 he was 26. We loved it and over the years added to it. My beloved passed away nearly three years ago after 47 years of being together, leaving me devastated, and I still am. My message is enjoy every day together along with your friends. God Bless.

[@samanthab1923]

Know what he means by that pea gravel crunch. My grandparents had a place in East Hampton. Always brings me back ❤

[@heathermcrobert9779]

Atmosphere just the way I would want my home to be!!! Thankyou!!!

[@monkeygraborange]

Good heavens! How many lifetimes did you live to amass such a breathtaking collection of beautiful things? I’m going to have to watch this 3 or 6 more times just to catch the details! Your home has the ambiance that Ralph Lauren has been trying ( and failing ) to capture for decades… collected, but not staged.

[@seagull5000]

I absolutely agree!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidcattin7006]

LOL! I don't think Ralph would disagree!

[@Cottonstatecountry]

I could spends hours just taking it all in. What a lovely curated home. Now THIS is my “cuppa” tea.

[@Mark-tr9ey]

“Quilted the house into place”. That says it all perfectly. My husband and I are now focusing in earnest on the interior of our 1883 shingle style house after years of construction. This was really helpful. Thanks for sharing!!

[@ranidenkaa2656]

Like a classic movie

[@jmburde656]

One of the few houses I’ve seen where everything is perfect! I was also excited to see the landscape of that lovely area because that is where my Father‘s family comes from dating back to the early 1700s

[@GinWren]

Devoted Instagram follower here, where we see little peeks of Elway Hall. What a thrill to see this expanded tour of your home. So many rooms! Each one is both yummy and spectacular. Thank you for sharing!

[@tiC12668]

Oh my goodness! I have to watch this home over and over again! That’s the true American classic home! Thanks for sharing!!!! It’s really eye opening!

[@jacklynnmjackson2383]

Wealthy Amerikkkan classic home. Only generational wealth can pull this off plus "connections".

[@patty2049]

Beautiful home

[@rustylane4234]

Beautiful!!!! Would love to see a whole hour on this tour.

[@doowopshopgal]

This is classy with a capital C

[@corey3151]

Perfection! I have coasters around our house but after watching this I'm removing them. He made a very good point.

[@alecbon6791]

It is very true what they said about having coasters around the house. I just don’t bother to force my guests to use them.

[@evaboldt653]

Why remove your coasters? They protect your valuable furniture. No need to "force" anyone to do anything. Some people burp at the table...you can't force them not to. Some people will put a wet glass on a mahogany table and leave a ring. Putting coasters on your valuable furniture gives your guests the chance to respect your hospitality and home if they choose to.

[@davidkull9479]

I put coasters out to protect my wood surfaces. I have friends that have no concept of how to care for things, and I’m not about to give them freedom to ruin my furniture just because they don’t know how to live with nice things. It’s not being inhospitable, it’s being cautious and careful of the things I’ve worked hard for.

[@hayeslong2277]

Barry and Will’s incredible generosity in sharing their home with numerous community events is beyond gracious. The biggest takeaway from the decor is the ultimate and thoughtful layering of color, texture and the stories the pieces tell. The mixture of antiques and everyday items truly makes this grand house a welcoming home.

[@davidcattin7006]

Every frame is a perfect vignette! I had to pause it every few seconds to take everything in. Needs to be turned into a coffee table book!

[@christyluckett439]

Love love this Beautiful home had to look at it 3times so Beautiful.

[@Lotuslovable]

gosh every angle is an oil painting! inside and out ... have never seen interiors like that!

[@seagull5000]

This is the most beautiful house I have EVER seen!!! I've taken screenshots of every bit of this video. Honestly, do you know you have done an amazing job? This is a true masterpiece of a home!! Even far from that I see two kind, really nice people!! The comments about the no kill hunt and smoking speak volumes and we all know how the devil hides in the details, though in this case, the angel! Bless you, gentlemen!!!

[@darlenechandler2403]

Beautiful home and car too. Such a pretty home.

[@samanthafarmer892]

An incredible, beautiful home! So much to take in, I have to watch it again. Really love this one - it fills me with joy and inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

[@blackorchid0000]

Protect all these old houses at all cost, the quality and craftmanship of these houses are not easily reproduced much these days!

[@rebeccafrancis8227]

Absolutely gorgeous home!! I love everything about it!!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@dilshaddealwis6543]

Simply exquisite. Love every bit of this dream home. Timeless and tasteful. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Lovely house. Thank you for the video.

[@user-ml7dn4rv6j]

Have followed Barry Dixon for 11 years. Have followed and watched uncounted videos on design and decor. Barry is and always will be in the stratosphere for me. I cannot get enough of his genius from the heft of a small piece of fabric to the bigger pieces and their grand presentation....he is the greatest. His bedrooms are particlularly appealing to me. So gorgeous in his use of comfort and beautiful style that lend to the magic of sleep.

[@myhappynest6125]

Barry Dixon at his finest. Room after room is simply stunning in the most comfortable and elegant way possible. Thank you so much for sharing 😍

[@Zoe.TheBody360]

This house is just so comforting and inspiring.....it's one of my favourites....the backdrop of the virginia mountains is so majestic too.

[@proudmganda1159]

I love love love ❤️ woooo this is so beautiful, I need to watch it 3-4 times. Thanks for sharing xxx

[@annenyman678]

Such a gorgeous home! I wouldn’t change a thing.

[@writebrobp]

Wow - simply a feast for the eyes and senses, what a beautiful home!

[@stephenwilliams944]

Pure class, two great gentlemen showing their beautiful tasteful home for us to see. No pretentious waffle, just interesting commentary. Their fox terrier is a delight. Thank you for the video.

[@darlenechandler2403]

Lovely home, so lovely with the cream and yellow, gold and accents of the reddish colours, gorgeous and I love their car too. What a lovely couple.

[@dyinteriors]

Love your house! Congratulations! You both made a good job!

[@user-zs8jl2ed3v]

Gorgeous, love !

[@carolyncross9950]

Usually preferring modern architecture, I didn't want to like this, I really didn't but oh my gosh, I do! A bit too frilly and busy for my sensibilities,to be honest, but it feels so warm and inviting and liveable, and the owners have such a great attitude to the property that I found myself loving it in spite of myself ❤

[@benjaminfrazier1745]

Beautiful home and property 💕

[@fransirahome]

Really beautiful home, love the interior so gorgeous!

[@Katsem]

Incredible home.

[@Maliceless100]

Barry's take on coasters is a glimpse at the future's prevailing sense of hospitality _(and sort of revolutionary; )._

[@waltonbone6038]

REALLY NICE AND DONE WELL.

[@kateforsyth1133]

Masterclass in design

[@BukeAladag]

[@bernadettehooper4318]

Fabulous

[@savorit3807]

Gorgeous ❤

[@barbaradobson9298]

Almost had to stop watching when I saw the hunters & hounds. I care for a feral cat colony and a mother fox and her kits came a calling when they discovered the daily cat food. The thought of hunting these beautiful animals sickens me but then Mr. Dixon said the magic words… “ no kill hunt” and I was able to proceed and view his magnificent home and property.

[@glendalafont1561]

What a home.

[@heredith]

it has such a positve energie!

[@ElleB6386]

Love you both and Dinah too.❤

[@wdgbirmingham2]

I'm about to Google and find out, but for right now: WHO is Barry Dixon? This house is so beautifully decorated I feel like I'm dreaming! 😍

[@yolandasilverio1205]

Absolutely stunning! I wish I could cook a great meal for both of you in your lovely kitchen.
