Leslie's home tour
Wed, 23 Dec 2009We received an email the other day from a reader named Leslie that had me completely intrigued. "hi. i love your blog and i am also a design junkie. i live in a stone house from the 1930's and have designed it with a diverse mix of tribal, mid century modern, antiques, hand made objects, things i've collected from my travels. it all pulls together in an integrated rich mix of textures and objects...i do think it is a home you would appreciate and wondered if you wanted to see some sample photo's of some rooms?" Hells yeah I want to see!!! Mid-century and tribal is Jo's ultimate mix of styles and I love it as well. Leslie has such a wonderful collection of tribal pieces and ethnic furniture, and some fabulous teak pieces. Not to mention quite a stellar collection of rugs and mid-century chairs (and cute pooch) that had me gasping in delight. I love eclectic and this is for sure an eclectic mix. Thank you for sharing your home with us Leslie!!

Wow. It's like the energizer bunny of houses. And very very beautiful, from spotted curtains to dog to comfy, sunny chairs. Good lamps. You're right about the rugs! But OMG how many chairs are living here? I'd swear you need 5,000 sq ft just to fit that many in!
I love what you have done with your furniture peices. Really enjoyed!
PS: Keep up the good work DTI...Im one of your biggest fans!!
I totally love this house! It has a really great vibe and a wonderful mix of furniture and accessories. I have a somewhat similar mix myself--danish modern with rustic country and a variety of "ethnic" items. I think it works well. Thanks for sharing!
what an amazing home! everything in it seems so special. Love the chairs and the gorgeous windows. Happy christmas!!!!
I really love that you are featuring readers' homes! I find the homes of real people so interesting, and this home is wonderful. I adore the pottery. Kim, don't you find it fascinating that everyone is a curator these days? Hope you have a wonderful holiday. Thanks for another yeara of inspiration. xxoo

I love that you are featuring readers homes too. And this is another wow! one... Such a great example of following your own style, rather than someone elses...
I absolutely love your home, Leslie! It's gorgeous! We also live in a stone home, where is yours?
When can I move in? And can I bring my Papua New Guinea tribal pieces?
I love to see reader's homes featured!
Great fabrics on the master bed and cushions. Is it John Robshaw?
