My Mom’s Style

In my last blog post, I gave an introduction of my mom and dad’s house, the story of how we came to buy it, and shared some photos of the exterior. Today, I’m taking you on a photo tour of the interior, all styled by my mom, Phoebe.

For as long as I can remember, my mom has had a natural eye for interior design. She’s collected antiques her whole adult life, and has a knack for putting together a room that looks perfectly curated, collected, yet never cluttered. She’s had no formal design training, but has always had an innate sense of style. She’s truly gifted! Her early American style has been such a big influence on me, and I’ve gleaned so much knowledge about decorating from her over the years. You can bet I will be studying these photos when it’s my turn to style and decorate this house. I have big shoes to fill, that’s for sure!

  1. Both of the houses are so beautiful! Can’t wait to see how you will decorate it! I am wondering about the door architraves, how were they made? Two different mouldings? I can’t figure it out. All the best!

  10. Your mother’s sense of style is amazing, but having seen your before and after pictures of your home you’re no slouch! You may feel you have big shoes to fill, but I’ve no doubt you will fill them like Cinderella-perfectly! CanNOT wait! 👍🤎🐝

  11. Do you know how many times of taken screenshots of your mom’s home for inspo? I think I have so many of these saved. She truly has a gift. I’m all in for this house swap to see what you both decide to do.
    I think it would be hard to think outside of the box with what she has previously done because it is just stunning, but you’ve got the same gift.

  15. Your mom has such a beautiful and peaceful eye about her. You too have that same incredible eye Megan. I’m eager to watch it all evolve. I keep going back to (stories) of your daughter in your moms tub and how much she loved it… that’s what home is all about…. memories past and new memories yet to be created. How sweet it all is!
