I’ve never featured a house tour of my own home on styleNorth because I think there are enough pics of our space on the site in miscellaneous postings. But I was happy to take part in The Love List’s on-going feature about bloggers’ homes. Talented Florida-based designer and blogger Jessica Condatoré (Poppyseed Design) brims with the infectious enthusiasm of youth and that spirit shines through on her site. She’s also been lucky to attract some really splendid house tours! Kyle Shuneman’s Hollywood Hills house is a stunner (above left, photo by Joe Schmelzer) and I feel a real sense of sympatico with Kristen Grove (above right) who manages to shop on the cheap and still turn out gorgeous rooms. Other bloggers who have thrown open their doors include the divine Mrs. Blandings, Easy and Elegant Life’s Chris and Elements of Style’s Erin Gates. Thanks for the props Jessica!
This is a vignette from our living room that I’ve never shown before (recognize the orange flokati?). Mike calls it “hyper composed” but we love it anyway. The chairs are turned toward the table which is why they look skewed.

Chris,
This is a true house tour and what a treat!! I like the American homes you linked to but the one that really has the “wow factor” for me is the vignette from your own living room. I love the composition, the colours and the very sophisticated mix in style from the Chippendale style chairs to the cushions (are they re-cycled kimono silks?) the brackets and the branch. The lamp is also very cool.
MORE PLEASE!!
