HOUSE TOUR | A Charming and Cozy Virginia Home
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Interior Designer Maria Crosby Pollard brings us inside her quaint and cozy home in Alexandria, Virginia.
For more extraordinary home tours, visit our website: homeworthy.com/
Built in the 1830’s, Maria’s Colonial home emerges as a vibrant tapestry of color, patterns and textures. Her background in decorative painting and drawing brings a unique flair to each of her designs. Maria affectionately refers to her style as “Early Attic”, an amalgamation of inherited and patinaed decor that intermingles with modern sensibility. As you step inside, you'll encounter captivating Malachite wallpapers, antique textiles, and cherished mementos from her childhood abode. Enjoy!

Lovely lady and home. I love Alexandria and the history, but I found her very difficult to listen to for so long. But I'm sure she gave it her best.

I just couldn’t finish this due to the constant “um” and ring twirling.
She is so great at explaining how she solved issues while designing her home. I appreciate her expertise to turn not so great things like lack of light and low ceilings into positives so her family can live and enjoy the space. What a professional.
I love her “early attic” term. I really enjoyed hearing about her journey in design, and how family and friends have influenced what she uses in her home. Like her home, this designer seems very approachable, like someone I’d enjoy visiting with.
"Early attic" is working for that house. She has created such a beautiful home.
Homes are beautiful they are all designers! But they say Um 50 million times!!
I love your beautiful home. It is so cozy and welcoming.You have managed to make a home with all of your memories.I know I will watch this again to see what I missed.What a home full of beautiful treasures.
I love this. The eclectic mix of inherited treasures, old finds, and new pieces is wonderfully curated, but appears in no way fussy or "studied." It's not dissimilar to how I live, so I felt an immediate connection to her home. I also commend her for embracing a wide and varied color palette, which is so unfortunately rare these days. I especially loved their wonderful collection of art and that bold kitchen floor. Wow... and Bravo!
I used to live across the street at #216, we did the entire to the studs renovation in 2000. I had a design business in old town. Small world!
Its not boring! Its such a great use of color and bits and bobs without looking chaotic.. its fun! I love seeing all these homes. Theres always some inspiration to glean .
What a delightfully eclectic mix Maria has in her home. I love how she's pulled disparate, well loved pieces together into cohesively warm, unpretentious rooms.
Glad I watched till the end her warm and caring personality came out ,I think she truly loves what she does. She probably is used to her design being the center of attention not herself. Lovely home and host .
Eclectic and beautiful! It’s great that she includes the vintage and antiques and family pieces, even though she admits to lean towards modern. Lovely!
The dogs in this video are absolutely adorable! I love how they are sitting or sleeping in a different spot as the video goes on
The workarounds she's done in an imperfect but perfect-for-them house are ingenious.
My favorite episode so far!! Cozy home in a cozy neighborhood with cozy dogs. I love that they are allowed on the furniture. Love so much in this one!
I just want to give a big shout out to the camera people. You do an amazing job. Thank you for taking your time as you show and pan the camera around the homes and personal features of these wonderful homes.
At first glance I thought "too much hodge podge for my taste, but as the video progresses I saw treasures (rattan dog planter ❤), her use of green and orange is fantastically eye catching. Thank you to this lovely lady for allowing us into her warm and vibrant home.

loving the dachshunds especially, being owned by them myself. The house is much bigger than it initially looks.
This might be my favorite Homeworthy tour yet! I love how personal her home is and everything in it has a story and meaning to the homeowner. It looks like such a welcoming a comfortable home!

What a lovely home. Sounds like a lovely neighborhood as well. I like that it’s family friendly.
Your home is so pretty and comfortable looking, not showroom ‘don’t touch anything” stiff. Love it and love your sweet dogs, we had a black/tan miniature. My husband was a UPS driver and knew all his customers by name. Thank you for showing us your lovely home.
I think this is both my favorite home & host . She especially spoke to my goal of a home that is both organized & peaceful. Thank you for your hospitality.

I love the way Americans say they don’t have a lot of space🙆♀️to Brits& Europeans it’s big 🙄
@karis7649

I think it’s probably not actually very small for most Americans either (the wealthy and pretend wealthy may consider it small, but 1700sq. ft is avg for the US). Many of us are urban and most of us live paycheck to paycheck despite how we’re portrayed, we’re just all so different from one state to the next. Texans have great big cheap houses and Sanfranciscans have small expensive ones.

I grew up in 400 sq apartment 😅 now living in 1500 sq townhouse I feel privileged. I understand when people describe as tiny some really big estates: the more you have the more you want
Thank you so much for the beautiful tour of your home. It looks so cozy and comfortable. Love the mix of old and new, high and low.
I loved her home and the tour of her home and yard…I love hearing about people’s stories of family, work and experiences! Thank you for sharing all your cherished treasures. I like all your colors, wall paper, antiques, art and family heirlooms. I believe everyone should decorate their home the way they enjoy living, and not for approval of society. Your home is interesting and beautiful and I feel privileged to have been invited in to see it!
Your kitchen is so pretty. I wouldn't redo it.
Very beautiful and eclectic home.
This house is totally my vibe. Oh my goodness, I loved it so much… now I am going to watch it again. 🥰
Love the color schemes!!! Love the dogs too!!!
Lovely lady and lovely family house with a relaxed feel but beautiful aesthetic

I love her sense of history and how she values and implements it into her design; it feels fresh yet reminiscent of the past. And Olde Towne is beautiful.
It always amuses me what some people call art, I thought that thing over her fireplace was was done by a toddler.

What a lovely woman and a beautifully curated home. I used to live in Olde Towne Alexandria.
I loved this home!!!! A lot of maximalist and eclectic spaces that also involve interiors that are built over time - as opposed to just everything purchased at once while being colorful and maximalist - don’t have the sense of symmetry and balance that this space has. Its got elements of a layered English style but a little bit funkier and very American at the same time. This designer has a very good eye. Homeworthy please do shorts of this video as well. It’s worth it!
What a comfortable, charming, warm, creative and fun home. They've done a fabulous job. There are so many great ideas that are adaptable to any of our homes. Thanks for the tour! 💗
The tenor and aesthetics of the house match Maria's. Always nice (and interesting) to see internal stuff expressed pretty seamlessly externally. That's a vitally expressed and lived life. Keep enjoying, Maria. Thank you for the tour of this gentle, bright place, as well, meeting your beautiful pups.
I just love homeworthey chanel❤❤❤ from England xxxx
I ❤her home. It has such a warm and fun personality. Everywhere you look has something beautiful or interesting for your eyes to rest on while also being curated. Her dog is precious!
If im honest theres to much going on for me, but its very nicely kept and well loved .
I’m sure the host is now aware of her use of “filler” words. She was probably nervous and it’s a scary thing to invite the entire internet to view your home. She has a very unique and eclectic home. Very cozy and I got some great ideas. Absolutely love the chandelier in the living room and all the sweet puppies lounging around.

The “um” was incessant. The r constant ring twirling and ums were probably due to nervousness. It was tough to watch. Beautiful home nevertheless.
Growing up in Virginia,tour gave so many memories for me.I love the color in the home,so inviting.Will watch several times over to capture more ideas.Lovely design and so welcoming.
So many beautiful things but I fell in love with those panels flanking the fireplace in the living room. So cool and striking.
Absolutely gorgeous home with so many treasures. Those dogs were absolutely adorable as well.
Thank you for showing us your beautiful home!❤
She has good taste and her kids have good sense.
Not cookie cutter. Lovey.
I loved this video so much. It spoke to me because I, too, have a mix of inherited, sentimental pieces (the hutch my late mother went to housekeeping with, samplers made by my grandmother, and one very special one my cousin worked while undergoing chemo for breast cancer), antiques and reproductions. I have been wondering if my livable house is, perhaps, not spartan enough or “new” enough. Maria reminded me of the beauty of curating a home with a patina out of things that tell my story. Thank you for these wonderful videos of beautiful homes and the talented people who create them.
Orange is my favorite too. I came home with a signed art glass vase in orange one hour before your debut. 😎G seriously! Delicious.
I love her painting she did in college!!!❤
I enjoy this home tour because although it’s a large house when I think of most standard house, it’s a home that I can tell has pátina and lovingly furnitures and other items that are sentimental to her (husband, children). I’m thankful to her for sharing her home decoration to us all.

Absolutely beautiful home, with lovely use of colour, pattern, and mix of old and new things. But boy, this was a difficult watch! I wanted to hear what she had to say about the pieces and design choices so kept the sound on, and she also seems a really lovely person. I guess not everyone is great at speaking on camera but the speaking is kind of an important part of the tour 😬 Sorry to say @homeworthy

I live in Va, very close to Old Town and I've always wondered what the tiny houses (from the outside) might look inside. Just beautiful and very well designed. I've got a lot of ideas for when we move to a smaller space. Thank you!

I really don’t understand modern art. I really think I could recreate most. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I do like her collected look of her home.

I really LOLed at the dog pillows.The pillows are more active than the real dogs.
"early attic" i'm gonna use it ;)
