HOUSE TOUR | Inside a Birmingham Condo with Southern Charm

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

On today's episode of Homeworthy, we're in Birmingham, AL, visiting the home of interior designer Ellie Christopher. Inspired by her Southern upbringing, Ellie creates refined and sophisticated interiors in her so-called "cabinet of curiosities." She has a keen eye for the unusual and unexpected, and is drawn to quirky pieces which can be found throughout her completely reworked 1960s condo, which exudes a charming vibe with lively color. Enjoy!

    I love how she said as a young designer she wanted to use the luxury curtains and unfortunately she couldn’t afford it so she decided to buy linen curtains that was budget friendly and she added the curtain tape to trim them. If you are a young designer, most people can’t afford those luxury products and it’s okay to admit that. I feel like her humbleness is very important in knowing when to splurge on items and when it’s not affordable to not just get it on credit card debt.

The animal touches throughout her home provided nice surprises. Great ideas for drapes. She has such a keen sense of attention to those tiny detail touches. Thanks for the ideas for finishing touches. !

    Oh my goodness. I kept wanting to give this a thumbs up but I had already. She has an elegant touch and eye for mixing textiles in terms of feel, color, style, era, functionality. Her mixes of vintage and modern are not forced as I've seen in some of the other videos where the designers claim to enjoy mixing modern with vintage or antique. She actually does it elegantly. Her straight forward delivery and open personality are very charming.

I have collected many beautiful things over the years unfortunately I do not have the design knowledge to display and highlight that I have!! This was a great show and I will definitely remember your name.
