MY DESIGN FILES: Helene Aumont

And more tear sheets I've been saving & still loving... I can say few have meant as much to me as the home of interior designer, Helene Aumont. This farm in San Ynez was featured in House Beautiful many years ago & I've held on tight. Everything about these spaces speak to me.
Instantly you know it's a family home...no pristine museum here, though it's filled with exquisite antiques & art. I love the colors, layered quality & most of all, the dive in feel that oozes from these pictures. This is a home that will forever stay in my design file.

Aumont Sitting Room

I love the leather chairs, coffee table & interior drapery. Stunning!

Aumont Dining Room

Aumont Veranda

How about having every meal on this veranda? I think I could handle it. Watch her video below, it's inspiring.

Aumont Pool

I love this fountain at the foot of the pool. Magnificent!

Aumont Barn

No words necessary...just no words!

Aumont Master Bedroom

And, of all rooms in this home I love, it's the Master Bedroom. I used this room as my sole inspiration for our Master Bedroom. I still love it today...wish ours had a fireplace! And still need a beautiful rug...working on it.

Driscoll Master Bedroom

What do you think? Do you love it as much as I do?

This is an amazing video of Helene giving a tour of her special home. You can also visit her website here. Enjoy!

We'll talk soon.
