House Tour: A Home Crush a Year in the Making

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 6

***Written by Arlyn Hernandez | Photography by Erin Francois

For as big of a place as Instagram is, it can sometimes feel really small. Of course, what you see is all about who you choose to follow and how you interact with them (dear Instagram gods, please return to chronological order). I know that, but images can spread faster than juicy gossip in a small town. Which is what brings me here today. Well, first we have to rewind to last year around this time. It’s right around when I started following Erin Francois of Francois et Moi on social. The impetus? Images of her home all decked out for the holidays. There was something about the drapey natural garland over the archway to her living room that SHOOK me. I saved it (wait…maybe I screen-grabbed it because I can’t remember when Instagram started letting you bookmark things), and referred back to it often when I wanted to feel bad about myself smile.

And then it started happening: EVERYONE was re-sharing Erin’s home. Her perfectly sparse Fraser fir (what she referred to as “Charlie Brown-esque”) felt like the most popular girl in school…everyone was talking about it/wanted to be it/couldn’t stop staring at it (well, the tree and the room it was in, in general). Nearly every “shelter” account I followed did a re-share, or at least it felt that way.

Fast forward to fall 2018. Emily and I were chatting (texting?) about who we wanted to reach out to for potential house tours because you guys seemed pretty pumped about the recent ones we’ve done and she sent me some snapshots of Erin’s home she saw on her Instagram. I basically jumped through the phone and screamed “I LOVE FRANCOIS ET MOI. YES LET’S DO HER HOUSE.” I really hadn’t seen much of her house since last Christmas, and my inner decor voyeur wanted to do an Orlando Soria-style horizontal head peek through her front door. A “house tour” was a perfect excuse to see more.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

Once I simmered down (sorry, Emily), I connected with Erin who was equally pumped to photograph and share her home with the EHD universe of readers.

If the mudroom-ish area above doesn’t fill your heart with warmth, then you’re likely dead inside and there’s no helping you. But if it tickles your soul like it did mine, then keep reading. I’m going to let Erin take it from here—we like to let people walk you through their own homes. Erin, meet the EHD readers, EHD readers, meet Erin…

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 1

Hi EHD World. I’m Erin Francois. My background is in commercial interior design but when I made the transition to sales rep for a fabric and wallcovering trade showroom, I started my blog as an unrestrained creative outlet. What started as an everything-that-inspires-me blog made the turn into home DIY and styling when my husband and I purchased our first home (a duplex) three years ago.

While house-hunting way back when, my husband, Ken, and I looked at this 1936 duplex on a whim, and were excited by the financial sense and renovation possibilities the property had. (We live on the main floor and lease out the upstairs 1 bed/1 den.)

Ken and I both appreciate the charm and quality craftsmanship of older homes, and we especially fell in love with the first floor’s plaster arch that separates the living and dining areas (you can see that below).

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 2

The duplex had been well-maintained over the years, but every single wall was painted beige, and it needed modernizing. Over the past three years, we’ve been renovating it room by room. We’re chipping away at this old lady slowly, and our end game is to bring the home into the 21st century to fit our modern lifestyle, while preserving the original charm. If I had to describe my style in a word, it would be “collected.” The bones of our house are Tudor, so I love complementing the more traditional architecture with meaningful pieces from different eras and styles (I’m really inspired by Nordic, early American, mid-century and Parisian Deco…uffda, what a crazy mix!). Because I do intermingle styles so freely, I try to stick to a unified color palette to help connect the dots.

Okay, now that maybe you have a little better sense about me and my home, let’s get to talking about these rooms!

Living Room

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 3

Sofa (in Premiere Fog Safeguard Fabric) | Rug (similar) | Coffee Table (DIY) | Leather Ottoman (in Colonade Sycamore) | Draperies | Window Shades (similar) | Framed Textile Art | Wall Paint Color | Textured Pillow (similar) | Floor Lamp | Timber Side Table (DIY)

Here she is: our family living room. Because we don’t have a secondary hangout space, our living room functions more like a family room. It’s where we play and watch movies as a family, but it’s also the first room you step into from the foyer. So my challenge in here was to make sure this room was equally practical (i.e. kid-friendly) and stylish, meaning: 

  • The sofa is upholstered in a stain-resistant, durable fabric
  • The leather ottoman provides a wipeable surface at a great height for our daughter, Sylvia, to play.
  • A round coffee table (which was a DIY) means no sharp corners.
  • The vintage Persian rug is really forgiving when it comes to cleaning up spills. It’s actually one of my favorite decor pieces we own. I purchased it in my early 20s, and it was a total splurge at the time, but I’m so glad I went for it as I still love it all these years later.
Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 5

Leather Chair | Blanket | Console Table | Mirror (similar) | Inlaid Box | Lamp (similar) | Campstool (similar) | Woven Basket (similar) | Sconce

Toys are stored in baskets in the media cabinet which is located to the right of the plaster arch. Because this room wears so many hats, I try to keep decor somewhat paired back (and multi-functional) in an effort to curb the clutter. For example, we store Legos in the rattan basket underneath the console.

Dining Room

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 7

Table (similar) | Dining Chairs | Bench (similar) | Rug | Light Fixture | Ceiling Medallion | Display Cabinet (similar) | Cabinet Paint Color | Cabinet Hex Knobs | Blue Pitcher | White Bowl

We don’t really have a kitchen with an “eat in” layout, so we eat everyday meals in our dining room (unlike many formal dining rooms!). Our dining table (by Duncan Phyfe) was handed down from my great aunt. It’s not heirloom quality, but meaningful in that it’s a family piece. It’s a great small-ish size for the room with a removable leaf for when we entertain. To keep things feeling a little casual against such a formal table, we built the dining bench with a slab of walnut and a pair of iron legs found on Etsy. Also, before we got out hands on it, the dining light fixture wasn’t originally centered in the room, so we moved that and added a ceiling medallion (this made the move SUPER easy because we didn’t have to patch and refinish the entire ceiling). 

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 8

Bookcases | Framed Textile | National Parks Print | Chrome Bubble | Matisse Print (similar) | Wood Bay Tray (similar) | Wood Bead Garland (similar) | Brass Pedestal Dish (similar) | Milk Glass Vase (similar)

Three identical short bookcases (from Target) grouped along the right wall of the dining room create the illusion of custom built-ins and provide a home for our book collection, a little home bar and vintage decor and art.

Back Hall

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 6

Wall Paint Color | Millwork Paint Color | Rug | Wooden Peg Rail | Vintage Portrait (similar) | Audubon Print (similar) | Stool (DIY) | Folded Blanket

This is our back hall, which was bare, beige and totally lacking in storage, so I focused on maximizing the vertical wall space (which was really all the space we had back here) with a DIY Shaker-style peg rail atop wainscoting. This gave us a spot to hang outdoor gear (but for the shoot, we made it all pretty…it doesn’t normally have dried greenery and draping fabric, ha). 

Kitchen

Kitchen1

Pendant Light | Faucet | Cabinets | Cabinet Hardware | Window Shade (similar) | Window Frame Paint Color | Wood Salt & Pepper Shakers (similar) | Blue Bowl (similar) | Speckled Lidded Jar (similar) | Kinfolk cookbook | The Minimalist Kitchen cookbook

The kitchens were the first spaces we renovated when we bought the duplex. They both were original 1930s kitchens and each had one electrical outlet, no dishwasher and plastic hammered tin-style backsplashes that were double-side-taped to the wall. Aside from the electrical and plumbing work, my husband, Ken, and I renovated nearly everything together to help it function better and fit our personal style, from swapping out the cabinetry to adding insulation to the walls to tiling the backsplash to planking the ceiling. One of my favorite elements in the first-floor kitchen (our kitchen, shown here) is the slatted sink doors we retrofitted from the original cabinetry, painting them to match the new cabinetry and updating the hardware.

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 10

Pitcher Utensil Holder | Wood Serving Board | Tile Backsplash

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 11

Clock | Flushmount Light (similar) | Rug (similar) | Wall & Window Trim Paint Color

Something that was unique to us as duplex owners was that we salvaged and reconfigured the original first-floor kitchen cabinets by installing them in the upstairs rental unit, which was in need of additional cabinetry and counter space. This helped us save on our bottom line as well as kept them from ending up in the landfill. 

Nursery

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 14

Wallpaper | Board & Batten (DIY) | Flushmount Fixture | Rug | Crib | Wood Dollhouse | Lace Applique Pillow (DIY) | Pom Pom Basket (DIY) | Custom Roman Shade

The wallpaper (Hygge & West’s Nethercote) was the jumping off point for Sylvie’s room. I wanted the room to feel imaginative, and the paper’s folkloric pattern is like a Nordic storybook enveloping the room.

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 15

Bookcase (similar) | Alabaster Lamp (similar) | Art Print | Mounted Faux Llama | Alarm Clock | Baby Moccasins | Yellow House (DIY)

We had to deal with some ice dam issues in this room when we moved in, so we opened up the wall where the crib is located and addressed the water damage before wallpapering, adding board and batten on the lower half of the walls and bead-boarding the ceiling.

Office/Studio

Office1

 

Desk/Rolling Cart | Rug | Shelves | Leather Totes/Bins | Linen Tack Board (DIY) | White Vase | Basket (similar) | Fabric Swatch | Scissors | Figure Drawing

This is where my blog magic happens. The bins on the top shelf and the adjacent closet hide my overflowing fabric stash, styling accessories and craft supplies while the opposite wall from the desk is completely blank for photographing projects, and we’ve installed a murphy bed at the far side of the room for when guests come to stay.

Master Bedroom

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 12

Wall Paint Color | Bed (similar) | Clip-on Sconce | Duvet Cover | Leather Throw Pillow | Rug | Lamp | Art Prints | Striped Throw

Our bedroom is the one room in the house where we chose a deeper paint color. Since we don’t spend a lot of time in here beyond sleeping, I felt brave enough to go bolder on the walls (we went with Behr’s Brooklyn). This room really came together on a budget with finds like the $50 iron bed from Craigslist, the $25 clip-on IKEA sconce and the $13 Matisse art printables from Etsy.

Emily Henderson House Tours Francois Et Moi 13

Arlyn here again. Just wanted to wrap up this post by giving a big heartful THANK YOU to Erin for sharing her home with us today. I’m definitely adding that master bedroom paint color to my short list of colors I’m considering for my dining room makeover…Be sure to let us (and Erin) know how much you love her home and if you like these types of posts because we’d love to do more. Showcasing the great (and hard) work of others in this design/digital community is something we really enjoy, so if you ALSO love it, then we want to know that!

And because you’re likely back at work today but, let’s get real, not doing much work, may we suggest a few more house tours to dive into while you’re avoiding that post-holiday to-do list?

  • Mel’s New Place Is a Minimalist’s Dream
  • A Mid-Century Modern-Inspired Home

    I love house tours (especially when so well produced with source links). Keep them coming, please!

    1. Cathy says:
      November 26, 2018 at 8:55 am

      I agree! The source links and explanations make this house tour especially fabulous.

      1. Arlyn Hernandez says:
        November 26, 2018 at 4:48 pm

        So glad you guys appreciate the source links. We normally do a Get the Look with all the links at the bottom of a post, but it seems like the more visible links right next to the image with the items is a better user experience? Would love more feedback!

        1. Lisa says:
          November 26, 2018 at 8:53 pm

          I MUCH prefer the links near the images because otherwise I forget what I’m interested in and have to scroll up and down a million times.

        2. Ellie says:
          November 27, 2018 at 9:55 am

          I think it’s easier to have sources under each photo so it’s easier to find corresponding links (as opposed to clicking four rug links to find the right one from a whole home tour). This also probably will save ya’ll a ton of time creating collages haha.

          I also like how The Everygirl does it with a list of links by room at the bottom of the post. I don’t feel that the repeat images are necessary.

        3. Jordan G says:
          November 27, 2018 at 1:17 pm

          Yes, I love this source link format!

        4. Emily says:
          November 28, 2018 at 9:22 am

          Having the links beneath each image was SOO much better, thank you!

          1. ali says:
            November 28, 2018 at 12:44 pm

            agreed!

        5. Lauren says:
          November 29, 2018 at 11:17 am

          Just wanted to chime in super late that I love the links underneath as well.

  2. Rae says:
    November 26, 2018 at 7:18 am

    As I scrolled through the images I thought that I was having deja vu, but then I remembered that I saw this lovely home in Do It Yourself Magazine a few days ago. So great to see more of it here!

    Yes please to more house tours! Your home is beautiful Erin 🙂

  7. Vicki Williams says:
    November 26, 2018 at 8:07 am

    Yes please! More house tours! This was great, so relatable, affordable and inspiring. Thanks!

  8. Lisa says:
    November 26, 2018 at 8:14 am

    This is gorgeous. So subtle, but not minimal. And current, i.e., clearly of the moment, but still original. Also, those curtains from Target look fantastic!

    1. Arlyn Hernandez says:
      November 26, 2018 at 9:37 am

      I thought the same thing! It felt so warm and welcoming, “on trend” but still unique to Erin. And yes I also went to go look at those curtains because they were the perfect blend of subtle but patterned.

  9. Cris S. says:
    November 26, 2018 at 8:24 am

    Love house tours! Especially on the first day back at work…

    1. Arlyn Hernandez says:
      November 26, 2018 at 9:37 am

      That’s what we thought 😉

  10. Lynne says:

    I Love, Love, Love this!!!!

  11. Kate says:
    November 26, 2018 at 8:33 am

    Do you have any funky 1930s house features like a telephone ledge? If so, I’d love to know what you did with it! Beautiful house.

    1. Erin says:
      November 26, 2018 at 11:25 am

      Hi Kate! This house doesnt have a phone ledge—just an old school jack in the hallway. We do have a quirky 30’s laundry shoot though!

  12. Christa says:
    November 26, 2018 at 8:36 am

    Beautiful! What a perfect house.

  13. Sonja says:
    November 26, 2018 at 8:38 am

    YES! Love Erin, Love this.

  14. Amanda says:
    November 26, 2018 at 9:01 am

    I must know where the quilt in the baby’s room is from, it’s so pretty! I didn’t see it in the links, but I’m also only half-way through my coffee.

    1. Arlyn Hernandez says:
      November 26, 2018 at 9:38 am

      I know it’s SO good. It’s from Target, but no longer available unfortunately.

  15. Sarah D. says:
    November 26, 2018 at 9:20 am

    Beautiful style throughout this home! I love how much of the home is filled with vintage and used pieces – so inspiring. I’m beginning to think that maybe I can tile our tiny 6’x6’ mudroom floor myself…what an accomplishment that would be, for me. Thank you, Erin, for sharing your gorgeous home.

    1. Erin says:
      November 26, 2018 at 11:26 am

      Thank you so much Sarah! And you should go for it!

  16. Rachel says:
    November 26, 2018 at 10:07 am

    Any idea where the dish towel hanging on the oven is from? I loooove it! This house is adorable.

    1. Arlyn Hernandez says:
      November 26, 2018 at 10:18 am

      I believe that was from Lulu & Georgia but no longer available.

  17. Kate says:
    November 26, 2018 at 10:15 am

    This was great! It would have been ever better if we could have seen some before photos??? thanks so much.

  18. angelica says:
    November 26, 2018 at 10:58 am

    now im dying to see the original photo with the garland!

    1. Erin says:
      November 26, 2018 at 6:28 pm

      Hi Katie!
      Here’s a shot of our Christmas setup last year!

      Oops! Sorry about that Angelica!

  19. Judy says:
    November 26, 2018 at 11:05 am

    What a breath of fresh air! I think many of us live in smaller homes with smaller rooms and definitely smaller budgets so this home is right on target to help us get creative with what we have.

    Using those three target bookshelves together is a great idea! I have long wanted a wall of built-ins but don’t have the budget to have one custom built. Now I think I can create the look using multiple pieces from IKEA or Target. I loved seeing those other DIY projects, too.

    Erin, thanks for showing us around your beautiful home and giving us a glimpse of your thought processes for making the choices you did.

    1. Erin says:
      November 26, 2018 at 11:29 am

      Goodness, thank you SO much Judy! I agree about built-ins—gang a few together and they look instantly more substantial and intentional!

  20. Kristen Holly says:
    November 26, 2018 at 11:55 am

    I love seeing houses like this – keeping the original wood floors, staying true to the architecture, but looking totally modern and bright. I also love how accessible her design is – so many things from Target! 🙂 Absolutely love her style! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

  21. CW says:
    November 26, 2018 at 12:48 pm

    This was an amazing house tour. Looooove the first image. I absolutely would love to see more tours, especially when you all did an awesome job linking what she used in her home.

  22. rachael says:
    November 26, 2018 at 1:01 pm

    This is such a beautiful home! I have been stalking it via Instagram for over a year, so happy to see more of it and hear specific details about the space. I love how the rooms are all so well curated yet still interesting. More home tours please! 🙂

    1. Arlyn Hernandez says:
      November 26, 2018 at 4:51 pm

      Looks like we were both stalking Erin’s home until now! Ha!

    November 26, 2018 at 1:10 pm

    Hi Erin! Could you tell me exactly what color you used to paint your ikea cabinet? I have had the same cabinet for years in yellow and it desperately needs a makeover! Love your home. ❤️

    1. Erin says:
      November 26, 2018 at 6:13 pm

      Hi Katie!
      Thank you!! I used Fusion Mineral Paint, Color Bedford for the IKEA cabinet. Excited you’re going to give yours a makeover too!!

  24. Shannon says:
    November 26, 2018 at 1:15 pm

    Yes yes yes to all the home tours! YES. This one is so dang lovely, too. Thanks, Erin! And thanks EHD, as always!

      Here’s the link to the Murphy bed we have in white. It looks like it’s out of stock right now, but Overstock has several models:

    November 26, 2018 at 5:35 pm

    What a vibrant and lovely home. May I ask where the blue painted shade on the kitchen is from? I pinned this shade from Schoolhouse Electric years ago in blue. I saw the link to the gray one. Do tell! Thanks.

    1. Erin says:
      November 26, 2018 at 6:15 pm

      Hi Tara!
      The blue stripe shade is from Schoolhouse–I think they discontinued it. 🙁

      1. Tara says:
        November 27, 2018 at 5:45 am

        Thanks for confirming. I saw the home on the Schoolhouse Electric bliog and askedf a store employee about the shade. They said they might be coming back. Now I know that’s probably not the case. It work so well on your space.

  30. Breanna Bertolini says:

      Those are called “french style” curtain rods. If this link works, here are similar ones from Target: https://www.target.com/s?sortBy=relevance&category=5xtub&searchTerm=french+curtain+rod&facetedValue=4yn3dZ4yn27&Nao=0

    Can you tell me if the countertops in the kitchen are quartz or marble? I love them and am hoping they are quartz. I’m planning my own kitchen remodel and would like to use quartz with a marble look.

    Unbelievable! Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful and approachable home. Filled with inspiration… and maybe a bit of jealousy. Keep up the home tours!

    I absolutely LOVE this house and I love this type of post. I would happily read more house tours, and more from Erin!

    Very true regarding Instagram being a small world 🙂 I’ve been waiting on my leather ottoman to be made since finding Erin’s post on the sun Bella couch back in October. What a great look into a lovely home.

Interior Design Blog by Emily Henderson

I started this interior design blog in 2010 as a journal of my style and home projects with the belief that design should be approachable, informational and accessible no matter what budget.

As a home style expert who has a strong commitment to peeling back the intimidating layers of the world of home decor, and showing how every person can have a beautiful home that represents their personality, no matter what the budget.

After styling for magazines and catalogues for years, I started my own interior design blog, won HGTV Design Star, and have gone on to host my own hit TV show Secrets from a Stylist, Author the book STYLED, and create the design firm Emily Henderson Design.

My motto has always been to write and publish on my blog what I personally want to read about.

My interior design blog remains personal, totally transparent and honest - documenting both proud and embarrassing design moments/mistakes and giving real life pricing and expectations.

I believe that your home should look like you, that every room is soul-less without something vintage or antique. I also believe in having fun. Like, a lot of fun.
