BEVERLY HILLS TUDOR HOME REVIVED!

Front exterior of a Beverly Hills Tudor style home by Betsy Burnham

A Beverly Hills Tudor style home made bright and cheerful by Los Angeles based interior designer Betsy Burnham.

Tudor homes sometimes have a darker more heavy feel to the decor - full of tradition and wood paneling I think.   Not this home.  With walls painted a bright white and an eclectic introduction of textiles, upholstery and wallpaper in muted tones of grays, blues, corals and lavenders, this home feels nothing like your run of the mill tudor!

Living room in Tudor style home with gray sofas with purple accent pillows, statuette lamps and a piano
The gray upholstered furniture in the living room gets a bit of color with wonderful purple cushions.  Also love the statuette lamps on the console. (above)

Coffee table with books and flowers
Nothing like a neatly arrnage coffee table with books, amethyst Calla Lilies and just the right reading. (above)

T.V. Room with Palm Beach style fabric upholstered sofas and a large leather ottoman.
The t.v. room features a large built in cabinet with beadboard door fronts, coral sofas upholstered in a Chinoiserie Palm Beach like fabric and a square tufted leather ottoman. (above)

White kitchen with marble counters, glass upper cabinets and glass pendant lights with black stools in a Beverly Hills home
Nothing like a bright white kitchen with marble counters, glass upper cabinets and fantastic round glass pendant lights over the kitchen island. (above)

Love the master bedroom wallpaper - Katie Ridder's Leaf wallpaper pattern available at Harbinger in Los Angeles. Stunning! (above)

What I like about this house is that it seems comfortable, livable and well designed.  Not too over the top in the decor but just enough to show a bit of personality and style.  Like.  Like a lot.

Happy Wednesday!

P.S. Picked up my dog Mr. Boo yesterday (see previous post) from the surgery hospital and took him over to the vet who will nurse him back to health over the next two weeks.  He looked so sad and tired after his surgery! Poor guy.

P.P.S.  Headed to the theater tonight to see a play.  So excited.

P.P.P.S.  Must also make it up to my little cottage in the Hollywood Hills today to see how construction is progressing and to talk about the floors.  My mom and my sis DS are worried that I am not moving things along quick enough...so today...we're going to get the project moving!!!

P.P.P.P.S.  Have a great day!

P.P.P.P.P.S.  Thank you to fab designer Joe Lucas owner of Harbinger showroom for the tip on the master bedroom wallpaper source.

SEE THIS HOUSE: MY STATE OF THE UNION - A $7.5 MILLION WASHINGTON D.C. HOME WITH ITS OWN OVAL OFFICE!

exterior of a stone tudor style estate

So I missed the State of the Union last night. I was picking up Nbaynadamas catalogs, doing a conference call on p.r., and getting my nails done. I know...I should have taken the time out to engage and learn what is going on in our country! Oy va voy. Am in a Nbaynadamas textiles bubble...running hither and thither trying to get things done before I head off to the New York International Gift Fair to show my textiles collection this weekend. I hope I didn't miss anything big...any big announcements. I wonder if anyone would tell me if I did. I guess I could actually read a newspaper and find out...but that would require me either getting a newspaper or taking the time to head over to a news website and actually read something worthwhile...hmmmm...nope...no time. Someone fill me in if I missed something big please...thank you.

Anyhooo...have been up since 5a (kind of a regular thing these days) and missing the state of the union got me to thinking not about the political landscape in our country but about my days in D.C. (I lived in D.C. during graduate school)...so that got me to thinking what it would be like to live in D.C. and then I started pondering D.C. real estate and I came upon this historic home in Washington, D.C. - our nation's capital.  Now notice, I still have not pondered anything serious yet...nothing to do with economics, politics, the general welfare of our nation, education etc...oh dear...am worried...have I forgotten how to be a critical thinker, have I lost all sense of current events, have I become a one trick design pony?  Don't answer...please...rhetorical question.

Anyhoooooo once again...  So onto this historic Washington D.C. estate.   This home is for sale for almost $7.5 million dollars and is listed by Sotheby's International Realty. 6 bedrooms, 7 baths in 9,710 square feet, this home was built in 1929 by a philanthropist as a wedding gift for his daughter.  The exterior is stone with some Tudor accents and the interior as been completely renovated with all modern amenities.  Clearly this home is staged for selling.

I would take it and make it my own...lots of decorating to do definitely. Decor style is too generic but it is staged for sale. Even though not great design as shown, I could work with the bones of this place. Plus, if someone offered it to me, who am I to turn down a $7.5 million dollar home? Rhetorical question again.

My favorite part is the painted stone walls throughout and the fact that it has its own oval office! Take a look in today's SEE THIS HOUSE!

Not the White House, but this home has a modern take on an oval office! (above)
What do you think of this Washington, D.C. home?  Love it or leave it?  Would you pay $7.5 million for it?  Do tell.

Hope you all are doing well!

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  The Nbaynadamas catalog looks fantastic by the way...will reveal it a little later.  Thank you again for your help in picking the cover!

P.P.S.  Running like a chicken with no head today...AGAIN.  It has become my new normal!

P.P.P.S. Am bringing 5 pairs of boots to NYC + lots of other shoes...is that too much? Another question that I know the answer to...

P.P.P.P.S. Need to learn to pack light. Is there a class for this?

P.P.P.P.P.S. Reminder...Special Edition Valentine's Day candles are still available!
