      I grew up in a home full of antiques as both my parents and grandparents were antique dealers. Typically, the hard services (tables etc) were antiques. Upholstered pieces where new or at the least re-upholstered. That's something I've stuck with. While my parents home was "colonial" (think 1960's Ethan Allen) and my grandparents did Victorian, I've found a happy place with traditional shapes in muted colors, "Persian" rugs, and a mix of contemporary and antique art. I made the decision to use a nice white paint on all the trim, moldings, and cabinetry. My husband has built a lot of cabinetry from my designs, plus we've added baseboard, crown, door and window trim. This house had only builder basic baseboard, when we bought it. Going too far into a Colonial or Modern colonial would'n't fit this house (Colorado), but I think it's coming along nicely. It's fun to see more traditional styles coming back around and warmer colors again!!

      I have a small Cape Cod style home built in the ‘70s with cheap materials and low ceilings. We did a gut reno in 1990s that added wood floors, painted woodwork, low Colonial and Shaker style elements. iIn New England, this never went out of style. I have to say, though, small kitchens and bathrooms are design challenges. Most often renovations start with “knock out a wall,” or, “borrow” space from this room or that closet. I would love to look at creative solutions that work with the small, quirky spaces we have.

That’s when you can definitely put an expiration date on their “new improved, modern” decor.

    My mother's style was Colonial and my Grandmother's was English Country. And visiting Europe when I was 19 and seeing Ireland and Scotland and England, France, Germany and Italy, the architecture and the homes all made their mark on my young heart. I began collecting in my 20s and never gave up my dream, even though all throughout the 90s and 2000's I was "out of style". People practically paid you to take their antique furniture in the 80s and 90's. Now decor has come full circle and we are back to basics and comforting cozy traditional style.

    I have to giggle a little at, “new colonial” style. This is American history, and has stayed the course for all these years, 247 as of this past 4th of July. Most homes in the Eastern part of the US and into the Midwest and South, enjoy this historic architecture, from Georgian grand to Saltbox simple, with variations based on weather (Florida). I have decorated this way throughout my married life, collecting the furnishings that define this gracious style. Mount Vernon, Williamsburg, Monticello, and other historic locations are national treasures. This style is not appreciated as one moves west, toward California. I recently met a designer who moved from west to east, to our city in NC. She complained about the colonial style of the homes here. She was frustrated by her recent clients rejection of her very modern suggestions. I had to share the historic nature of Colonial with her. Her comment was, “Nobody in the rest of the country is doing this.” This style of architecture and design will endure because it represents the history of our Independence. It is very American, always beautiful and very gracious. Thank you for talking about this, Lisa.

      In California, there is Spanish/Mexican colonial architecture, so we don’t necessarily “need” English colonial. It’s part of the heritage of the Southwest, in some places since the late 1500’s. The history is not as known in the rest of the US (for example, vineyards/grapes and cattle/sheep ranching were brought from Mexico, as well as the architecture.) We are just as proud of it as Easterners are of their architecture.

    My wife and I have been slowly working on this style in our house since our marriage 18 years ago. It's been challenging for us because we live in a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas, and the stores that carry the right merchandise are more to the eastern part of the country. And many times, the style has been modernized. So finding quality, traditional, Colonial Williamsburg type, pieces is quite a scavenger hunt. And because it's now such a niche market, it can really drive up the price. But it's doable; it's just more work and more money than one might initially expect.

    I love my 1800 sq foot traditional Georgian colonial, and Lisa your advice is perfect as alway. A colonial can be so flexible, and I lean towards simplicity, as in the Shaker style decor. Shaker style decor is I think one of the unique American treasures since it combines both the traditional colonial ,but also the uniquely elegant Shaker simplicity. Shaker is a style that looks modern, because it is so simple. But it also uses so much wood so it looks warm, while still being simple and modern. I live in Connecticut, and I am always surprised at how Shaker decor is not known in other parts of America. Shaker kitchen cabinet doors are popular around the country. But there are many other Shaker decor pieces that are not as well known, that are absolute treasures, because they look simple. . That Shaker classic hymn also applies to Shaker decor..."Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free..." .

    I love this kind of period content! I searched high and low in my area for a georgian and finally found a fixer upper (it was all modern inside), and is a challenge to design so it doesn't feel "museum"

    I’ve always been a huge fan of Federal style (i.e. “colonial”) buildings, and live in a very colonial style house. It’s so convincing that visitors think it’s from the early 1800s, even though it was built in the early 2000s (giving us the bonus of modern day systems). Regardless of the trends, I will always love colonial style and a more traditional decor to go along with it - with small touches of modern to make it interesting and less precious. My decor decisions were guided by the rooms in Colonial Williamsburg. I had NO IDEA that I was being trendy, I just know what I like! 😊

    This is my style and has been since farmhouse. I love “primitive” colonial. Colors that work are black, brown and white with shades of these throughout. Makes the holiday colors pop ❤

    When we moved into our new build (with 3 young kids) 4 years ago I said, “I can see everyone! I can hear everyone!” And I loved our open layout. Now my kids are older and I say,” I can see everyone! I can hear everyone!” And I see the advantage to having a house with rooms rather than a living room, dining room, kitchen combo.

    I can't pick a lane so I do both. More formal in my dining room, husbands study/office/foyer/main bedroom. Our family room, kitchen and guest bedrooms more English/French country. We bought out Cape Code last October and have renovated it. Painted the exterior brick White Dove with functional raised panel shutters in Tricorn Black with shutter dogs. Just love the classic look. I've never been a trendy person. I love classic homes, cars and clothes.

    This is my style-English Country in particular. I’m an avid thrifter and most of my furniture is vintage/secondhand, so I’m easily able to achieve this look. I also like mixing design styles by going very traditional for the majority of my interior-but using more contemporary/modern artwork.

    So happy to hear this. I have always loved Federal style. Lots of moldings. Every house I’ve owned I’ve added chair rail & crown moldings. I added chair rail to my dining room maybe 3 years ago & my sister in law told me. “It’s out of style & dates my house”. I believe this is a classic style which really never goes out of style. Love your thoughts.

    The old houses in Massachusetts get this style very well.
    Most of the woods and panelling are wood stained with a natural wood color. But the grand houses you'll find panelling in gray or the same blue that we see in the video.

    I had no idea that colonial remains the most common home style in the U.S. They also had small windows to retain heat or cool, depending upon the season. People were somewhat smaller and the rooms stayed smaller to fit the folks and retain whatever heat from the fireplace or wood-burning stove was meant to accommodate that room. Gorgeous examples of the architecture types and the rooms that were built using less glass and shorter spans of wooden support. I like the painted moldings. I adored the room with the burgundy chaise longue on the bedroom inside wall near the fireplace, which looked comfortable for sleeping if someone who shared that bedroom was ill and needed to rest nearer the fire and building warmth. I am loving the soft colors, which make a color statement but embrace so much else around them in the room. So helpful.

    Colonial is simple, sophisticated, amd elegant. Truly timeless! I can't believe what passes for homes these days - both on the cheap end and luxury end - in my mind all architecture should learn from history and just replicate the beauty from the past!

      Not typically into this style, but I love that green room at 3:39! (Unsurprisingly, haha.) I feel like this is something I’d love and appreciate in someone else’s home, but maybe something I wouldn’t integrate into my own space.

    I have a colonial style house and looked everywhere for inspiration to design the interior but could not find any so I have been going down the cottage core path but had some vintage and antique early American style furniture. So glad there is now s colonial chic style to draw off of and THANKS for explaining it so well.

    I started in the antiques business 40 years ago then got into architecture by selling real estate and I STILL learn new things like why window panes were divided and small and I always thought the salt box was a New England invention. I am delighted to see the beautiful style we grew up with being addressed in a modern way. What is interesting is that the (2nd period, meaning Victorian and 1910sh era reproductions) antiques that furnished these colonial homes have come down in value so much because people went whole hog for mid century modern etc years ago that those with a sharp eye can pick up appropriate furniture for this style at very good prices…and it’s all real wood, not cheaply made imports! Thank you for bringing this gracious, historic style back to public attention, it’s so refreshing ❤
    Can I plead for a video on how to turn the leisure suit, disco era, 70’s ranch into an entirely different classical style?
