HOUSE TOUR | The Enchanting London Townhouse of Cook Book Author Skye McAlpine

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Renowned cook book author and Tavola founder Skye McAlpine brings us inside her divine Victorian home in the heart of Southwest London.
For more extraordinary home tours, visit our website: homeworthy.com/
When Skye first acquired this home, it lacked the original character one would hope to find in a Victorian house -- instead sporting a stark and contemporary aesthetic. However, Skye, with her keen eye for design, wasted no time infusing the space with a touch of magic, transforming it into a cheerful, vibrant and snug abode while preserving its remarkable structural features.
Skye’s formative years in Venice, Italy, have played a pivotal role in shaping her design philosophy and creative vision. Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a kitchen bathed in a dreamy custard hue - a space that Skye meticulously revamped to serve as a flexible space perfect for hosting gatherings and soirees. The interiors are adorned with exquisite hand-painted wallpapers, charming chintzy fabrics, and an array of vintage furnishings that collectively epitomize the timeless allure of classic English design. Enjoy!

    Why do people watch these videos and then rip apart the generous people who open their homes? If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say it. Kindergarten lessons. This is another lovely video, thanks Homeworthy! ❤

Here is a person who seems to just GET it, and it was so refreshing to have a host who LOVES everything in her home, not because someone else tells her it's valuable, but because she knows who she is and therefore, knows what she loves.

    Her copper mould collection has several pieces I snagged in the '80's as a newlywed. Sadly when my hubs died a few years back, I by necessity had to pare down to just necessities leaving my copper donated. I paused the video to savor those and the others that she rightly uses, cherishes, honors by their presence in her home.
