I think one thing Homeworthy has illuminated for me, besides giving me a glimpse into beautiful homes of beautiful souls, is that I need to make more friends with people in their 50s and 60s. They’re so much more interesting than the people I’ve met who are my age. I think it’s the stories but also the authenticity that comes with age and feeling comfortable in your skin. Love it. Thank you!
Yes 🥰🥰🥰 I totally agree with you! I asked her to be my friend; surely she can teach a black girl 💖 how to grow beautiful flowers and plants, how to make that beautiful big bed reminds me of Goldilocks, I just want to go there n drink some porridge in her Chinese bowls n go upstairs n sleep 😴
Even people in their 70s are interesting.
I’m in that age bracket and honestly I think the boomer demographic IS interesting. This is the postwar generation, that saw huge cultural events. Moon landing, British Invasion with amazing music, Woodstock, Twiggy and 80’s Supermodels, and NewYork was in its heyday design wise. Times were good economically and people had money and brick and mortar stores were around to spend money. People went out and entertained. I wouldn’t want to be a young person these days, its a lot more challenging.
@@ron4501yes, we are.
@@lizhorton5333👏👏👏
The house is stunning. But let me also mention how cute that dress is on her and how great she looks. 🌷
I was thinking the same thing while watching!
I feel like it has to be Tory Burch or Kate Spade.
I loved her dress too and thought the same. I would love to know the designer to look for something similar, it’s so pretty.
Mrs Pardee is absolutely adorable. Her home is so elegant and grand, but her excitement to show us the details and tell us the stories behind each decision make it all seem approachable and charming. Her references to her mother warmed my heart. I bet her dinners and Christmas celebrations are out of this world! What a sweet lady and what an incredible home.
I would love for Homeworthy to show us her home at Christmas, if possible!
Enough about me..what do you think of me?
@@ashleymorgan77
Yes! Yes! A thousand times YES!
I agree. All so truly said.
@@michaeldonaher2851 If I recall her passion is for plants and flowers. If Madam Bettie were on a deserted island it struck me that she would make herself completely at home amidst the lush foliage.
If I had the opportunity to recreate an 18th Century French style home I would, in a heartbeat.
This Lady has been so gracious to bring us into her home and share tips about entertaining etc.
Will never forget the mustard yellow stone in the Kitchen. Bravo!!!
Some people have a way of communicating with charm and generosity of spirit. Something I'm feeling watching this.
It's a trick to make a home unapologetically formal which still has ease. I'm charmed by her love of her home.
Yes. And who would think that this place wasn't built a century or so ago. Hats off to bringing pedigree to the new.
We MUST see her stunning home at Christmastime! What a joyful, light filled place.
Exquisite, elegant and uncluttered. Bravo! Bettie's voice sounds a lot like Jane Fonda.
I am French and I feel like being in France in an 18the century home, Stunning house with a sole. No wonder with such a sophisticated and funny "maîtresse de maison". Bravo!!
She glides when she walks so enchantingly and casts a spell with mannerisms and movement. I had no real idea such people, places and things exist, like a fairy tale from another time. Made my struggles to overcome trauma and toxicity tolerable if not for the most blessed of moments. Thank you Homeworthy, the other kind comments that uplifted and inspired and all else that could provide this replenishing respite!
I like how her mother wanted her to take some of her belongings before she passed so she can see her enjoying it. The 18th century mirror Is absolutely gorgeous & I like how she decorated her kitchen with no upper cabinets & used her mothers armoire instead. I like how she said “just open two doors & everything is right there.” How clever! The library panels from her old church friends are so rich looking! The staircase from the architect does have a romantic feel! What a lovely lady, she sure does have a beautiful elegant style of decorating.
‘It’s magical…’ we are bless indeed to be invited into her world. The attention to details and her stories and thoughtfulness… just wonderful. Would love it if we can be invited when the place is deck out for Christmas.
Ms. Pardee is a fun and gracious lady. I love her home. I wouldn't have even realized that it was built in the 1990's. It looks as if it was part of the Gilded Age. Brava!
She was so charming showing us her home, she’s proud yet so humble. What a beautiful soul ❤️ her home is breathtaking
Bettie Pardee is one of the most talented decorator/designers I've had the pleasure to watch. Her love of warm tones, details, and perfect proportions is stunning. Wow! What a treat to have her show her masterpiece.
Betty thank you for the beautiful tour. I enjoyed every minute. I love your China room.
😭g😁c😘c😘😁vc😘c😘
Perfect proportions?
I love how it shows how much she appreciates the beauty of her home and gardens ❤️
This has been my favourite home ever shown on homeworthy, infact on youtube, she is such a lovely elegant lady and her chateauesque style french home and gardens are so beautiful, all that was missing was a vinyard out back and you would think you were in the Loire Valley, so I think I will be watching this one quite afew more times as it is so breathtaking♥️🇫🇷🏰⚜️👍🏼
A delight. Her eye for asthetic and architectural harmony is very rare. There is a genuine love she embodies for her estate. Thank you for the lovely stories and the tour.
Lovely Lady, lovely home. She seems very down to earth.
I worked for Blackstone Catering in college and few summers after college, we did the first party at this house. It was just the house, she really had not started decorating...but the house was beautiful with all the colors and details. She was also a wonderful host to the crew.
Not surprised she treated everyone well!
She is really lovely lady.
Love Newport.
I love that you can't tell this house was built only 30 something years ago. It's beautiful 😍 Also, the unique wood floor layouts throughout the house is an amazing idea and execution. LOVE IT!!
Huuuauuuuu….. It is a dream house, so beautiful. Stunning.
And the garden…. I have no words…. I love plants, flowers.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
As I was watching Ms. Pardee giving us a tour of her amazing home, I kept catching glimpses of this fun, totally casual spirit as she lovingly pointed to this or that. Ms. Pardee has bridged seamlessly the ability to welcome with warmth and casualness into this grand home with all its treasures. I know that her Mama is watching with a smile each time the story of the mirror is told and gives this lovely place just that much more magic. Thank you for allowing us to tour this amazing place!
What a gracious woman! Ms.Pardee has every reason to be very proud of her beautifully considered and decorated home. In addition, her gardens are simply lush and beautiful as well. Thank you for a lovely tour as I sip my second cup of coffee on this drizzly Saturday morning! Cheers!
✨👏✨
Mrs. PARDEE is adorable and very interesting 😍. Thank 😊 you for sharing your beautiful home 🏡.
What really caught my eye was the beautiful bed linen.
For me is everything, love this house so much. Living here Like living in heaven I guess.
Her voice sounds like Jane Fondas 😍
Your Mother was right, the flow of the house and the uniqueness and personal touches in each room makes your tour so fun. Thanks for sharing!
I'm completely inspired by this beautiful and cozy French style. Normally a house this size wouldn't feel so cozy but it really is. Simply; stunning, elegant and homey all at once.
Finally a home built on quality and very good taste, nothing pretentious, elegant and subtle. Bravo Bettie!
If I could I’d give a million thumbs up! Such a warm, beautiful home. The gardens are amazing!
Every piece in her home deserves attention, yet nothing fights or competes. It is perfectly understated, perfectly dramatic, perfectly situated and thoughtfully arranged. Timeless and classic elegance without being the least bit fussy. And…The floors!! 💜💜. She is a joy to listen to and learn from! Honey colors and buttercreams…what could be better? ☺️☺️
Your home is exquisite! French Country is my favorite style of home! I could watch and listen to you for hours! Your sweet sense of softness is refreshing! Your not boastful.... just full of joy as you speak.! You are blessed to have all of this and you blessed me by letting me into your world of beauty! Thank you ! I just love your garden.... green and white is so calming!
One of the most beautiful homes I have seen in some time. The use of buttercream yellow is welcome change from all the ultra sterile white we have been forced to endure in recent years. The French and Italian furnishings are used sparingly which gives the home a light airy feel. My favorite room is the bedroom draped in buttercream bed hangings and white embroidered linens.
Were those bed hangings not utterly dreamy, big sigh!
What a jewel of a woman and fabulous home. So much thought went into it - her enthusiasm is wonderful. Please keep featuring places and people like her!
This is an amazing story. Just looking at the details and thinking about all the craftsmen, artists and artisans that worked on that house is mind boggling. That home was built, it did not exist, and it was done with such care and love that it is hard to believe there are people with the capacity to do something like that these days. I truly admire their dedication to a project. And she was so open and interesting. May you enjoy your home as much as she does hers!
It was an amazing stroke of good fortune that the Architect had set aside that wonderful staircase.
I am pretty sure that if I were given that staircase, I would move heaven and earth to build the right building around it. That staircase is just glorious.
Lovely. No dull grey anywhere!
Every one of these house tours has been exceptional. Many thanks for doing them.
Thank you for watching!
The love they built this home with shows. Such a beauty. Love all of the yellows that are so synonymous with provincial French design. It’s such a soothing and happy color that people are scared to use bc it’s bright but this shows that it works!
You can feel the love in each room of this home and the extraordinary gardens. The home is beautiful and functional without being fussy. Thank you for this highly enjoyable home tour! ❤
Beautiful home and I love her dress!
This was yet another wonderful home tour. Ms. Pardee is a lovely, gracious woman and her home is perfection.
She is simply delightful and so welcoming into her fascinating home! The home was built with pieces of other people that give it such memories and a warm hearth!
I may be adapting that chain with the David Austin roses idea…. That is brilliant!!!!
One of my favorite tours to date! I love how Homeworthy takes you to houses you may have otherwise only had the opportunity to see a photo or two. Such a treat! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!!
I agree with you 100%. I have never enjoyed another tour as much as I enjoyed this one. This was eye candy for me! So many beautifully decorated rooms. I loved the fabric that was in her mother’s attic. I was going through a thrift store not long ago & saw these glass squares, not knowing what they were, I put them back. I see now I passed up something I could have used to put my potted plants on. I also loved the chain of roses; such a whimsical idea. Thank you!
Her home is so beautiful yet functional and so welcoming. I love the hidden storage for the tables and chairs.
Beautiful and enchanted house, so elegant without being overwelming. And Lady Pardee is so lovely, a lady with great taste.
It is always a rare treasure to be hosted by the magnanimous spirit of Bettie Pardee's love-embodied spaces of harmonious presences, offering meaning and memory. Each relate to their preceding volumes while effortlessly predisposing new sentiments, and not unlike the undulating garden features. Breathtakingly sensitive and serene. Thank you for generously sharing this blessed sanctuary! x
I avidly devour this type of content, and I feel this may be my favourite house and garden combination of all time . Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with all of us !
Could not have said it better. I literally hopped on to make the comments you just made Jenni. This home is as approachable as she despite its haute couture kind of pedigree. Very gracious of her to invite us in for a visit.
what an elegant adorable lady! i could listen to her talk for hours. i really felt the love that went into this house. especially the story about the library paneling - - amazing!
This was a fantastic tour . She really is a gracious hostess.
What an elegant and beautiful home!
I have never seen one of these stately homes that I could easily move into but this home is gorgeous and so comfortable looking, I wouldn't change one single detail. Impeccable taste.❤️🥰😍❤️And Bettie is an absolute doll, her excitement is contagious!!!! xx
It's giving 'rich auntie' - love her energy!!
Thank you so much for the tour. You are gracious ,so down to earth and friendly. Thank you.
WOW- I love Miss Bettie's home. It is so warm and inviting. It's beyond lovey, and I adore all the little surprises she has like little treasures. I can only imagine what a dinner party or Christmas gathering would be like in her home. I especially LOVE her garden spaces. What an incredible place to just wander through. I do hope @Homeworthy does a revisit during the Christmas holiday. Thanks to Bettie for opening her home for all to enjoy. She seems like she'd be so much fun to know!
I was captivated by every moment of this video. Her home and how much joy it gives her. Love the beauty of the garden and the antiques Thank you for sharing your space and story. Beautiful.
I believe this might just be my absolute favorite tour. This home is not only beautiful, but clearly loved by it's gracious owner. I was taken by Mrs. Pardee's love and affection for her home and her delight in sharing it. I am off to find her books!!
What an example of living your affinities, interests - the things that root and nourish - pretty much without interruption or compromise. Fascinating.
I absolutely LOVE watching her excitement showing her treasures, her finds, and how much she loves and enjoys the fruits of her imagination 💕
This is the ideal life. Such an elegant taste.
My absolute favorite home here so far!! Love every detail! The kitchen so warm and the gardens,. Swooning...thanks for sharing this☺️
Everything in this home is just stunning ! Every detail is just filled with fund memories. This beautiful home looks like I’ve seen in France. I really do love this home as a antique collector . You and your family are truly blessed to live in a dream home.🙌🏽
I've got both her books and would LOVE her to do more because the style of HER houses and the houses in the books are far more appealing than the new build concrete and glass monstrosities that seem to congest Los Angeles (and Australia, for that matter). Beautiful architectural detail, classic craftsmanship and historically accurate style done with intelligence and flair (without looking vulgar and McMansion) are my great loves and increasingly rare to find. When people buy old properties and absolutely molest the interior, making them look like Hungarian dental clinics or lobbies of Medispas in Cheshire, I could quite literally weep. Furthermore, discussing the grotesque danger of developers and designers constantly catering to the dubious aesthetic 'tastes' of stinking rich criminal foreigners and other new money brutes from certain parts of the world is a long and juicy conversation, best conducted over a long lunch and a bottle of wine-- not a RUclips comment section ;). I'll take Hamish Bowles over Kim Kardashian any day. I'm off to peruse Ms Bearden Pardee's website now. Thanks Homeworthy fo another really good video.
Perfectly said my feelings exactly!!
Hungarian Dental Clinics..... Laughing out loud.
Thoroughly enjoying your wit!
@@pamd1861 I wonder if this is something you agree with also:
In Australia the giant McMansions bloat out to take up almost all of the available land so you're lucky if you get a view of a fence/next door neighbour sitting on their pooper out of every window and a strip of grass as an afterthought. Maybe a little sitting area and if you're lucky, a ghastly looking lap pool that looks like an out door sunken bath right up against the back fence. (The real estate literature will refer to this as a 'luxurious outdoor swimming pool': racehorses get better training facilities). These clinical looking, soulless little prison exercise yards incarcerating a motley assortment of potted topiary trees and a row of tragically municipal looking Agapanthus are utterly out of balance with the enormous suburban "family" house looming over them like a giant faux stucco-fronted prison guard bellowing 'ten more years boys, keep it clean' and the whole thing looks sad. You need grounds, room to breathe and even stand back and appreciate. Nothing works together with these aesthetically dopey and financially ambitious projects. They're going for the Beverly Hills-Holmby Hills vibe but missing the key element: GORGEOUS LUSH LANDSCAPED GROUNDS and beautiful frontage! These gorgeous architecturally driven family homes work best when they have landscaped grounds around them not stuffed on top of each other with nothing but glorified courtyards as land. I mean, you're in the leafy green burbs of Melbourne/Sydney so why make it look like a row of bloated fancy council houses in Wolverhampton?! Trees! Grass! Gardens! Lawn! Pool entertaining area! These congested, greedy architectural proposals make me laugh to think that so many developers out there (and buyers, clearly) enjoy big white Belle Epoque mansions stuffed into tiny plots of land. Where's the intelligently designed situation within the landscape?? Gross. I'd never pay 9 million bucks for a giant Haussman inspired house in Toorak if it means I'm able to reach out of every window and punch that crappy bloody wooden fence.
CiganyWeaver and her periwinklebluespacecaravan Girl... Stop... I can’t... 🤣
OMG, as an Aussie (Perth) I can soooo relate. I live in a mid-60s home on a massive block in an inner suburb (well with the urban sprawl now considered inner), I love my yard, and over the years an increasing amount of bird life does too as we have TREES and plants and flowers. Everytime a home is sold in this area, house is demolished and the blocks are subdivided and 2 homes are built that go right to the back fence, little courtyard and maybe a couple of metres at the front. Jammed together. Then you see the new developments, small blocks and 2 story McMansions, double garage (but while 2 cars can fit, they can’t open their car doors, so 1 side is their junk and the second car in the driveway!!!!). Soulless, devoid of life and personality, rows and rows of roof as far as the eye can see as there is nowhere for an actual tree in groud except for council plantings on the verge IF there is enough space. Aweful and hurts my heart to be honest. Love your humour btw.
WOW! This is the most stylish and beautifully designed private house and garden that I've ever seen! Everything is having a story and designed with so much love and intention! It creates an harmonious and elegant environment pleasing to the eye and the soul! Mrs Pardee is the centerpiece in this artistic and tasteful creation! Such a pleasure to watch! Thank you for sharing, it is very inspirational!
I always enjoy a home tour but I especially enjoy it when the owner truly "lives" in the home and is connected to the furnishings and architecture like Mrs. Pardee obviously is. I especially appreciated her antidotes about her mother. A beautiful gracious home for a beautiful gracious lady!
What a beautiful home and a beautifully charming woman. I hope you feature her again
Hello 👋 how’re you doing?
My favorite tour so far. She is so personable and ehthusiastic...love her and her house!
What a lovely lady! I absolutely love her gorgeous home and garden and like that she stays true to her design style! Thank you for allowing us to tour her home!🌷
She is absolutely lovely & I would just LOVE to talk decor with her all day! 🥰
Such a warm, beautiful and inviting home. The grand tour made me feel as if I was standing right next to our gracious host. Every single detail so intricately and methodically thought out and executed upon with love and precision. Thank you for sharing your home with us! I also await the tour of a whimsical dinner party! ❤️
If this beautiful property and garden didn't charm me then the hostess certainly did. I love a well thought out and planned house. Form and function both, that's rare. Thank you 🦚🦚🦚
Thank you for sharing your VERY beautiful home with us. It is VERY hard to get this style right but, Mrs. Pardee has done it. I love seeing homes where the owners are home proud. It doesn't have to be in a wealthy area. Being home proud can be in a one bedroom apartment. It doesn't take a lot of money either. Pick out what YOU like, NOT what you think others will be impressed by.
This channel is simply the best. Seeing people share their home is really wonderful. I just subscribed. ❤️
An utterly enriching experience. Thank you Mrs Bearden Pardee for your generosity!
What a treat! This just "popped" up in my feed. Drinking coffee and enjoying every minute. Thank you for a wonderful start to the day.
Thank you, Mrs. Pardee, for such a gracious tour of you lovely home and gardens. I was absolutely mesmerized!
The storytelling homeworthy has been engaging in gets better every time. Bravo to the production every time its a hit.
Thank you so much!
I love her beyond words. I want her to narrate everything I’m reading. She’s so beautiful. Seeing the world through her eyes needs to be experienced by every living being.
Lovely woman, great tour and lovely home! It's nice to see someone live in such treasures yet still make it homey!
Hello Mrs Pardee, I'm an English lady here in France, I don't quite have the same money or house as yours but I'm definately making it a homely comfortable place for myself and my dog Arna.....thank you for opening your wonderful home, I know what my largest room can be now, a library 😀
I truly enjoyed this tour! Every piece and detail is perfectly curated. I'm stunned to learn this is a newer build! It looks as if its been there for forever. So beautiful, so lovely, well done!
Quel bonheur ! This home is so well thought out, refined without being stuffy, it's just paradise. Mrs. Pardee is absolutely delightful and generous in letting us tour her home this way. Un grand merci !
I enjoy hearing her speak as much as I enjoy looking at her home. She is so eloquent and calm. No "uhm", "like", upspeak or vocal fry that seems to be the norm now.
THE TWO THINGS I LIKED BEST IN YOUR LOVELY HOME ARE THE SOFT OVAL ROOMS AND YOUR FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS. THEY REMIND ME OF THE 1980S WHEN PEOPLE WERE SO CREATIVE WITH THE FLORA SOMEHOW FLORIST HAVE LOST THAT AND ALL WE GET ARE WADS OF FLOWERS. THANK YOU FOR SHARING
One of the most beautiful, elegantly designed homes I have ever seen, and the owner is gracious, and delightful.
I’m speechless
It's a beautiful and sincere place. Not only her house but also her dress is so beautiful ^^ ~ 😊
We have been subscribers since the inception of this channel and I can state unequivocally this has been our favourite segment.
Thank you!!
Loved watching this video. Loved hearing the history of this beautiful lady's home and all the magnificent antiques around each fabulous rooms. 👍🥰
She is darling! And so is her home…absolutely stunning🌸❤️
It's like you are in a beautiful dream, thank you Mrs. Pardee for inviting us in!
I love this woman, she is like a great loving grandma to me, just by listening to her. If only she's my grandma 😊❤️ Her house is exactly how my impossible dream home looks like.
What a lovely woman. She has a beautiful home and her ode to her mother was so touching. I love the dress she is wearing too!
I absolutely love this lady! What a dreamy home.❤️
A favorite so far. Mrs Pardee is so sweet and interesting. The gardens and outdoors my favorite! The rose chained driveway what a wonderful idea❤️
Mrs. Pardee Home is so elegant and beautiful. I love everything.😊
What a charming lady AND home. Lovely to watch her love for her home and listen to her knowledge & experiences too.
What an elegant hostess, who understands how to create living spaces for a glamorous life.
Thank you for this video. Its a beautiful heritage house, well preserved and maintained. This place would be perfect venue for reunions and special occasion celebrations. God bless you all.
Everthing gives me a great sense of happiness including the way she dress.Rose chain is like road to heaven.With love.
Such a wonderful tour. I've always loved a French home and garden. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! Bettie is so endearing. Thank you for the tour.
