Ha! I follow him on instagram but didn’t know his real name.

This is my house too. It’s pretty much the anti-HGTV approach to decorating. It takes a lot of time, can be expensive, and is never really “done.” Etsy, 1stdibs, Chairish, and Craigslist are my primary sources. Lots of Instagram accounts selling vintage furniture and art these days too. Everything else was either handed down or found at random antique stores (hard to find the time for this with little kids though). Etsy is amazing for getting access to trade-only fabrics for throw pillows and drapes and cushions.

You betches are just obsessed with HGTV! What are you going to do when there's an HGTV show that looks just like your house??

I would so take this style over the "country kitch" style our Boomer parents are into. I guess the good news is that we can easily avoid inheriting a bunch more crap for our house as I have no space for milk jugs, butter churns, rag dolls, or rooster-themed anything.

Have you seen real English Country decor though? If there's too much of anything, it's clutter.

Ugh, I cringe just looking at all the clutter. There's no way to keep all that stuff clean. I love the Nancy Meyers look, but not that.

Yeah I am surprised by all the people equating Nancy Meyers = Boomer 90s and English country house clutter.

Her sets are carefully curated and edited. It's not just a thrown together mish mash of junk. And no hiderous roosters or signs that say "eat"

Pp here. I never said I didn’t like some of what they’re doing on HGTV. I just meant that this style/approach is not accomplished quickly or by ordering from large retailers. It takes time and almost never looks new. Vintage rugs and antique furniture will never look perfect or new. The people who would have a hard time with stained/etched marble countertops would have a hard time with this style.

Gorgeous homes, so much to see and study....ok, going down the rabbit hole, see you all in 90 minutes

I’ve been admiring them for years. They’re thoroughly amazing.

I mean one man's junk...look i don't think anyone here is putting "eat" signs in the same category we are talking about. That's joanna gaines farmhouse, not what we are discussing at all I would think. As for Nancy Meyers houses, of course Somethings Gotta Give is the most high end and curated. The Vermont house in baby boom had some homey clutter in the kitchen. These houses range in how cluttered they are, I love rita konig, she does full on English Country, the real deal. It's very full but I wouldn't dare call it junk. She has a lot, but it's all interesting and cozy. You can do this style lighter, the architects cited above had some pretty streamlined designs. Some people like to live with a lot of stuff, if displayed well it often works even if I woukd not do it that way. I love parties at houses like that, I have several friends with a lot of collections, they all are fun hosts. Always an abundance of food and booze too 😋 They are consistent.
