  • Hemme Custom cofounder Mandy Milks gave her home a family-friendly update with historic appeal. With the help of designer Mazen El-Abdallah, she created the perfect balance of traditional and contemporary elements. The kitchen exudes English charm with Carrara marble and Shaker cabinets, while the marble carries into the living room along with the olive green cabinet tone, which is color blocked with a wool sofa for continuity. Natural light floods in through the living room, which opens onto a private and cozy backyard lined with a lush wall of Juniper trees. Mandy’s luxurious bathroom is clad in beautiful black tile, a matching clawfoot tub with antique appeal and a jewel-like brass shower head. The home feels like a sanctuary with its muted palette of grey greens and blues along with soft, touchable textures on the furniture and drapery. Take a tour!

    They really did a good job at remodeling. It seems like they thought out the decisions that they made. Even the parts that they regretted she admitted it and explained why they wouldn't do it again. Which is something I appreciate. Sometimes people give the impression that remodeling and designing their homes went smoothly without any issues. And since they lived in the home while remodeling it I give them major props for that. I'm sure that wasn't easy.

  • @mapsman5513
    @mapsman5513 Před 2 lety +56

    What a charming, forthcoming designer. Thank you for sharing the good decisions and the not-so-good decisions. I love your home and that throw on the bed in your principal bedroom is the perfect addition to that room.

  • @laureneharrison8897
    @laureneharrison8897 Před 2 lety +56

    What a lovely home and I truly appreciate her honesty about bad decisions…and hiding the other tub legs!! 😄 This will help others as they navigate through renovations. Well done and beautiful draperies of course.

  • @JeanFB16
    @JeanFB16 Před 2 lety +29

    Thank you Ms Milks!! One of the best renovation/makeover videos I've seen. I love that this designer has shared the "real life" design process - what she loves, what she regrets, how she'd tweak things if she could, the thought process, the *honesty* that is so often missing from these types of videos. This was so informative - so many questions answered (e.g., things to think about with marble in kitchen and bath; sometimes going with all-dark color scheme doesn't work, etc, etc). More like this please!

  • @matthias8122
    @matthias8122 Před 2 lety +4

    Mad respect for her using Ikea furniture, especially for the kids’ room. That and that her kids’ room actually looks like a room for children.

  • @jackieclark817
    @jackieclark817 Před 2 lety +23

    Luv this casual, unfussy, wonderful approach! We need to see more of her work. As an adult, I want one of those cute little fort twin beds! 😊❤️

    What a lovely home! And YES, finally someone who agrees with me on the advantages of shower curtains over glass! It's so nice having a nice looking bathroom without having to squeegee after each shower and scrub at stubborn water stains every time you clean! You just throw it in the wash every now and then! And it's a great opportunity to bring softness and maybe colour/pattern into a space that tends to be full of hard surfaces! And also a great opportunity to be more daring or trendy, because it's way easier to replace than daring or trendy tile. 😄

    • @taraclarke2565
      @taraclarke2565 Před 2 lety +2

      I agree! So underrated and under used. Love a shower curtain.

    • @pbear49
      @pbear49 Před 2 lety +1

      Your not alone! Unless you have a maid, doing the bathroom cleaning glass doors are a pain. Curtains can not only make it more practical, but cozy as well.

    I often like the way that rooms look when Im watching home remodels/decorating videos. Not only do I LIKe this home though, I'd like to LIVE in it! I love and would be comfortable in every room here which is something I can't say about most home tour/remodels. Excellent!

  • @lorenwil
    @lorenwil Před 2 lety +8

    OMG! I'm so appreciative that you went back and revisited her stunning kitchen and she showed the rest of her house - wonderful tour! Her honest solutions with elevated style are something we can all relate to. Thank you!

    What a lovely remodel! Glad some circa 1800 details were restored. Since you love wallpaper, why not consider wallpapering the inside of the entry storage? Love the authenticy of this home.

  • @paulajf4205
    @paulajf4205 Před 2 lety +1

    I love every room of this renovation, it's hard to pick a favorite, but probably the master bedroom and main bath. You know once their kids get older, in a typical rich yuppie tradition, they're going to either add on or move on to bigger so each kid can have own room. The reality is, kids can survive and thrive in a shared sleeping space through hs, and in many lower income households & other countries, they do. Plus, it's better for the environment.

  • @prachiburadkar2090
    @prachiburadkar2090 Před 2 lety

    She is so honest about accepting her design mistakes. Houses do get dirty and lots of wear and tear happens over years of usage. So they can't pe speckless and magazine worthy all the time. She didn't hide anything and mislead others. Really admire her.

  • @TheRayjane
    @TheRayjane Před 2 lety +1

    Lovely home and reno. Looks so cosy, and I loove the use of green, diiferent shades of brown and natural materials. Also love the transitional look - lots of traditional pieces, with a hint of modern. SO well done, and truly timeless. I think the kitchen could have benefitted from some form of seating - like a small minimalistic peninsula that seats 2, so they can still let the light through. But overall, this is one of my favourite home tours. So pretty!

    I just bought a row house in Wilmington, the same thing happened to me. The back of the house was so bad, because they had covered up the damage with two by four and it was termite infested.
    So we had to redo the entire back of the house all two floors. Your house looks beautiful, taking notes.
