One of my favorite Instagram reads is
@JuliaBerolzheimer. Whether you love fashion, travel, home decor, or gardening – Julia excels at it all, with her husband and two daughters, Marigold and Clementine at her side. It’s always a family affair which makes the photos so much more adorable.
Her photos are always gorgeous, beautifully styled, and totally dreamy. It’s impossible not to want to go to France after breezing through her pictures. I know her husband used to be the photographer and I’m not sure if he still is – regardless, whomever is behind the camera is super talented.
I wrote about Julia and her house a few years ago
but since then she’s redecorated it and I know you shouldn’t be envious of Instagramers lives, but her house and garden is beyond: it’s Charleston casual but in a chic way.
Here are a few photos of her newly redesigned house:
BEFORE:
Julia’s entry before. I thought this was the cutest, the best! Redecorate? Why???
AFTER: The floors are now painted like a set of botanicals that you would hang on the wall. Genius. There’s new paper on the walls.
Redecorate? You bet!!!! It’s fabulous!
New light fixture.
After: A look at the Chippendale inspired staircase.
The previous banquette was recovered.
BEFORE: The living room had her old pink velvet sofa recovered in taupe with fringe. The room was nice, but it didn’t have a WOW factor.
AFTER: Julia with Marigold and Clementine in the new living room with handpainted wallpaper. It looks like the sofa was recovered with new legs.
Newly recovered slipper chairs. All fabrics are Schumacher. The curtains have a flouncy pleated trim. It’s all more grown up but still magical with enough folly for a house with two young daughters.
BEFORE: The dining room is on the other side of the living room. Again, it was pretty and functional. I hadn’t even thought she needed to redecorate, but boy, I was wrong!
AFTER: New table with velvet chairs and an ethnic rug. LOVE!!!!
Her decorator is: @lilsemckenna on Instagram. Check out her wonderful portfolio.
BEFORE: The family room was small, with a screened in porch attached. Julia enclosed the porch to make it a bigger room. I do love the way it was decorated here.
After: The newly enlarged room with back to back sofas and patterned rug. LOVE!!! The wallpaper was still to come when this photo was taken.
Another view of the double sided sofa.
Here is the wallpaper – painted grasscloth. The panels hide storage AND a jib door!
BEFORE: There was no pool in the back yard, but it was still beautiful with a courtyard for outdoor meals.
AFTER: The pool is now surrounded by a darling set of outdoor furniture by Business & Pleasure that Julia is partnered with. HERE
