Finding My Dream Pieces: Styling Our Victorian Home

Join me as I reveal and style the recently won auction treasures I brought home, including a long-awaited pair of Louis XVI bergère chairs and a beautiful Italian giltwood mirror that quietly stole my heart. In this episode, I transform the foyer and living room of our 1895 Victorian home through a chinoiserie-inspired design story centered around my favourite blue palette. Layering heirloom auction finds, blue and white porcelain, florals, lighting, and a romantic summer tablescape, we create a space that feels both elegant and deeply personal. From the foyer mirror vignette to the drawing room transformation and table setting, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to celebrate beauty, atmosphere, and the art of living well. If you missed the original auction preview, where I explored the sale and invited you to guess which treasures might be coming home with me, be sure to watch that episode next to see where this journey began. Thank you for spending this time with me. I hope this video inspires you to embrace the pieces you truly love, decorate fearlessly, and create a home that tells your story.
