  • On today's episode of Homeworthy, we're in Boston visiting the home of Whitney Talsma, the founder and lead designer of Oliver James Interiors. Whitney and her family live in a charming 1814 federal-style farmhouse that boasts incredible historic charm and beautiful gardens. She has made an effort to add her own personal design touches while celebrating the original details of the home. Whitney loves hunting for vintage furniture and decor at antique shows and flea markets, blending these pieces with newer items for a lived-in look with stories to tell. Enjoy!

    One of my all time favorite larger homes on Homeworthy. So nice to see a mix of old and new, high end and low. Lovely art, so nice that she names the artists and shows appreciation for their talent. And how nice that the prior owner had such good taste too. After this video, I would think she'll get a lot of new business as a designer, especially for children's rooms, they are adorable.

    This home is exquisite,and this designer couldn’t be more kind and gracious. I follow her on Instagram, and admire all of her interiors; but seeing this Homeworthy tour makes me love it even more. Her taste in patterns just does it for me, and the artwork is the chefs kiss in every room. I will be watching this again, so that I can truly pay observer all the beautiful details. Whitney, you are amazing; thank you for sharing 🥰

    • @lesfleurs9781
      @lesfleurs9781 Před 12 dny +1

      Thought the same thing. The home is beautiful, but the alcohol cart. I don’t like it all for the reasons you mentioned and also I think it’s just too cluttered looking. I don’t know what is this trend nowadays of having a liquor station in a home.

    • @charleyscott2163
      @charleyscott2163 Před 7 dny

      I grew up with a bar cart that was fully stocked and used whenever my parents entertained. It is not a new phenomenon, but rather a revival of the bar cart. I'm a 60 year old grandmother, never had a drinking problem, neither did my parents. Maybe it's making it a forbidden fruit that creates temptation?😉

    I am very confused: why do you need to store your shoes in the dining room? Other than that, i think a bit less decorating with same style art and flowers would allow the house to shine more. For example, why put anything on the lovely trellis wallpaper in your bedroom? The small bathroom, your daughter's room and your garden are lovely!!

    • @WhitneyTalsma
      @WhitneyTalsma Před 12 dny

      This room is also the main entry used every day so there needed to be a spot to hide away the shoes. Otherwise, you're right, it wouldn't make any sense!
