Lovely, charming, cozy and sweet! Traditional doesn’t have to be stuffy. Done right, it’s warm, welcoming, and inviting….this is definitely traditional done right!! Love, love, love it!

I agree with LeslySW, that dichotomy is key.

Wow. This is just gorgeous. I love how eclectic the furnishings are.

I think this line from the post really sums up this home:
“Although Tom’s a collector who likes to display his things, James’ more minimalist style has clearly been taken into consideration as well, and unburdened by the weight of unnecessary tchotchkes and dark, dreary colors, the couple’s traditional decor feels positively hip.”

That’s so spot-on it’s scary.

Great job!

pieces.

Great and you both should be very
proud.

I, too, loved everything about this charming little bungalow. Everything was so clean and fresh looking and the soft colors are great.

I can’t wait to come and spend the weekend in the guest room. Also want to know if the kids can come. This is a perfect weekend getaway.

Absolutely gorgeous. Every Single room. My favorite is the pink room. I love the way the chair goes with the wall print. Your creativity goes beyond my image of a perfect room. I bet that all future designs would go beyond expectatiions and uniqueness to all creations done by Tom. Never the same twice. I bow to both of you. Amazing.

Hi Tasha, I don’t do styling for Open House shoots, so this is all Tom and James.

Tate, great posting; Tom and James, equally great interior. Is Tom Ferguson’s work the vanguard of a new softer, gentler minimalism based on talent and creativity?
This isn’t a level of style that can be purchased in big box stores. Timeless would be a good adjective.
