Pacific Grove is such a little treasure in Monterey. I so wanted to buy a home there when my husband was assigned at the Defense Language Institute. We just couldn’t afford even a fixer. This home is just perfectly restored. It was fun for me to see someone live my dream.

I just couldn’t believe how she could see so much potential in this home. It looked like there was so little to work with, very uninspiring. Yet she could see something that I would have never, even in my wildest dreams, imagined. It is absolutely beautiful!

@cathywhite169 2 ай бұрын

I love this house and this lady. I love that this house is NOT another huge white house that looks like you don’t live in the home. This one is warm and cozy! I have been to this area of CA. I could move right in this home. One of my favorites.

Love this house. It is not a massive, characterless mansion. The designer has such great taste to put everything together in an elegant way. Many of the Homeworthy episodes all look very similar. But this one definitely stands out! LOVE IT!

@susannagiesey9657 2 ай бұрын

Her last remark about not being "forever home" people, but home being about the people living in the home resonated with me. It's good to be reminded of that.

Lovely, lovely, lovely and lovely. She is a designer by every since of the word. As an owner of a historic home myself (circa 1902) I also had to look past what it was and focus on what it could be. All these years later I can say it was worth the time, money, patience and effort to create a space that I've truly made my own. I tell you what, the way she explained the process and her thoughts behind it, was like watching a movie🙂 so entertaining! I enjoyed this homeworthy. Beautiful

I don't what it is about THIS HOME, but I was totally engaged. The work & end result is fabulous in every way. Her design is so warm, cozy, attractive, & inviting. To look at a home for renovation & be blessed to have a vision, execute it, & sit back & enjoy how this home embraces you is wonderful! LOVED this Homeworthy tour, but then, I enjoyed many of the homes featured.

We would call this an Edwardian house in Australia because Queen Victoria passed away in 1901.

@jamesdellaneve9005 2 ай бұрын

Yes. Americans never use the Edwardian term. Victorian is used pretty generically.

@annhamilton2060 Ай бұрын

Edwardian was the period that King Edward was on the throne, the same way Victorian is the period Queen Victoria reigned.

🤯👏I LOVE this home, especially the kitchen! Excellent job on . . . EVERYTHING: use of space, color, cabinetry, hardware, lighting, furniture, decor, all of it (and I typically don't even like Victorians). The host is so well spoken (I usually have to watch on mute or click off) and down to earth, the hour flew by! 💙

Mrs. Conoway’s home is a dream, homey. An honestly inspired homemade treasure home. I love crown molding . The kitchen reminds me of an English cottage painting. She says that the kitchen is a showpiece but I think that every room is delightful to be in it. The kitchen’s french windows are great. I can see that not just $$$ went into this house renovation but Love, desire, & designs thought went into Mrs and Mr. Conoway. I hope that they and their families continue to enjoy their home as I did . Mrs. Conoway thank you for not being pretentious even thought you could be if you want to, but your sincere and humbleness manners makes me happy and glee with enjoyment..

@lianeabeyta4515 2 ай бұрын

I can so relate to the visual of adding of something as simple as the 3 steps and newel post. Every inch of charm is worth it. I don't even have stairs and thought of making a 3 step entry newell post just for a charm factor. I was going to use it as a book shelf. I love the mix of high low furniture pieces. I am not a showroom ,matchy matchy girl. I like a room to look like it was collected over time. The arch and chandelier into the kitchen is amazing! My favorite is the incredible dining room. The blue built in with the marble is amazing. And the small master with the wallpaper , and betas is the coziest ever!!!! Love it all.

I’ve been following Erin on IG for a while now, at the start of the kitchen renovation, and her vision, the process, the way it all comes together, I love love love it. That big chunky archway, the lighting, the transitional elements of old and new. I look at her kitchen and there’s something about it I just can’t help but love. Even though her color palette is muted, it’s not grey. What sorcery is that when they weather there is literally grey 90% of the year?! When I get big girl money, I’m getting a design consult with her so she can help fix my 90s cookie cutter house. What a gift she has!

Incredible how they renovated this home!! I have seen loads of videos on Homeworthy, but this is one of the best for me! Love it! Erin did so well👍 Mostly I love the family room - it is one of the coziest places I've ever seen, espacially with this mural and the green chaiselongue😃 Her mother would be so happy about all that-by the way I love the way she talks about her mother. All the best to Erin and her family🍀😃

Thank you SOOO much for this video. Much of what you described in your attraction to older homes resonated deeply with me. I’ve always preferred an older home - currently I’m in a house built in 1890! Your renovations are lovely, tasteful, appropriate, and respectful.

Definitely one of my Homeworthy favorites! All the hard work put into restoring this home was so worth it. A perfect mix of vintage and modern. That kitchen is to die for!!! I think the only thing missing is books. I love this home and adore the down to earth nature of the owner. She is precious and an excellent designer.

I totally agree with other viewers, this is probably my most favorite home tour so far!! I don’t believe I would change a single thing in this home, it is just so warm and inviting and each detail seems to be intentional! I could move in today and all my belongings would fit so well, our decorating seems to be on the same level👍 I will definitely look into purchasing some of the lighting she has designed for my current home. I want sconces through out my home and noticed how she managed to do exactly that even with the other hanging, table and floor lamps scattered through out👍👍👍 A Beautiful and comfortable home, well done!

Im not sure I’ve ever loved a home and so many things inside it and features of it, in one of these Homeworthy tours, as much as this one. I absolutely LOVE it!!! There are other homes shown on here so far, I’ve really jived with as well. But there was always a portion of the home and decor that wasn’t really my “style.” But this one? I’d say I loved 98% of everything about it. I left off 2% just bc there must be something I would do differently, I just can’t think of it right now, lol. I also recognized several items of decor that I have in my own home. Thanks to Targét 😂 EDIT: To add a shout out to the editing and camera angles etc…by your staff on this tour. Adding in her own videos showing before shots was wonderful. I just really enjoyed this one a lot. Enough to make such a long comment. I rarely do. So thank you all involved. It will be added to “My Favorites” list on YT! 🥰
