Hope you had a great weekend, dear friends! Here are last week’s finds, most of them inspired by a delightful project we’ve seen published recently – the Nelson-Galt house in Colonial Williamsburg, circa 1695, redecorated by Birmingham-based interior designer Heather Chadduck Hillegas. We’ve seen a tour in Veranda magazine a few months back, but thanks to Frederic magazine (link below), we get to hear the designer in residence describe the entire process – a collaboration with great American brands such as Schumacher and Benjamin Moore. Over the course of several months, the Nelson-Galt house was thoughtfully redecorated using paint & fabric selections both appropriate to a home steeped in American history, and relevant to a contemporary way of life and design. I find the project deeply inspiring, and I hope you will too.

Thank you for sharing this. So much fun taking a tour while sipping coffee in my living room. It was informative and interesting. I enjoyed Heather’s relaxed manor while still sharing so much detail.

Glad to hear it, Lynn!
The Williamsburg House Tour felt like a breath of fresh air. How delightful that Heather is able to live in that house as a residency of sorts. It did make me curious what the future of the home would be after she left. Does someone else come in and redecorate? Does it stay as is and open up for tours? I may have to try to Google.

I was wondering about that myself, Lauren!
That tour is so incredible – have to go back and take in every detail again and again. Thanks so much for that link!

Happy to hear it, Linda! I did the same thing 🙂

Wow, loved the Williamsburg tour. What a treat to get to live in such a place, it would be hard to leave. I wonder if Heather moves from place to place in different Williamsburg houses as the resident designer.
