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!

    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 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 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!

    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.
