I love reading what the friends of these house tour participants have to say about these singular spaces. “Dreamy.” “Wow!” or “That’s a lot of Jesus.” But a lot of the times, friends remark about how the homes really seem to reflect the person living in it.

It’s almost as if the people who are great at coming up with imaginative style descriptions are the ones whodon’ttry to design their home to fit a specific style.

Bridget Schwartzis inspired by designers of the past who didn’t insist on defining style. “You could mix Victorian, space age, folk art — anything really — to great effect.
