    I thought his farm house was elegant and not the least bit pretentious due to all the French antiques. I'd totally live there. I love the fancy china & inexpensive McCoy vases & a chaise in the kitchen. My late Grandma had a couple of chairs & ottomans in her kitchen by the fireplace. Nice to have a cozy spot in your kitchen. Lastly, the beaver and turtle just make me smile from ear to ear. What a wonderful home for their family.

Also had a very good chuckle about the zebra finches. I adore him, grinning the whole way through this ( OH.MY.GOODNESS! the ensuite is just beautiful. ) I loved this home tour.

    This was one of the best home tours I’ve watched! I loved his wonderful, funny stories, such as the Zebra finches on Christmas Eve. I loved his attitude about comfort, about not being pretentious, or making anything be too precious. I loved his attitude about style, about filling a home with only things that you love. I loved his collections, and that he really uses them. I loved his bourbon voice and his bare feet. I absolutely could die for his bathroom, with that carved from Vermont stone trough style sink, and that outrageously beautiful metal bathtub. The home has beautiful moments all throughout. I even adored his Frenchie.
    Now, I must go pour myself a bourbon in a silver cup.
