We had the opportunity to visit with the lovely Ms. Kathy Wilder, of Kathy Wilder Interiors, today and snap some pics of her gorgeous home in Dilworth before the Home & Garden tour officially began.  Her style is a bit eclectic and minimal, but always with an eye towards comfortable luxury. Her home is incredibly beautiful, but you get the sense it's truly lived in and loved.

Now, these photographs were not taken professionally and probably don't do her fabulous home justice, but you still cannot miss her stylish eye and attention to detail -- the details are everywhere and they're all interesting.  Now, it doesn't hurt that her home came with some gorgeous original details, like the moldings and hardwood floors that are literally throughout the entire home - even the original glass & brass door knobs still look outrageously good.

Okay, okay enough chit-chat - here are photos you've all been waiting for.

The always practical breakfast nook, off the kitchen and with a perfect view of their sweet back yard.

She seriously mixes styles and period pieces so effortlessly...

Kathy decided to incorporate some open shelving into her kitchen and it's the perfect place to display her pretty kitchen accessories.

Are these brass cocktail picks the coolest things you've ever seen?  Martini anyone?

Kathy's formal dining room has to be one of the most stunning rooms in her home.  Between the original hand-painted mural, the fireplace and the coolest end chairs you've ever seen . . . I just don't know where to begin.  But I do know she picked up these fabulous end chairs here at Post & Gray!

There are two family rooms and a library.  The first space is the most formal and is the perfect spot to gather with friends.  The second is a cozy space for Kathy & her family to snuggle up by the fire and watch the television. And the library, has to be her boy's favorite spot; It's got masculine touches and is the perfect space for them to pile on the couch and watch a movie.

This is a piece of art, drawn by Kathy's six year old son.  She had it framed and it looks right at home in the library against the navy wall.  Love, love this idea.

Some of our favorite details...

Interesting vignette with the framed charcoals & coral sculpture +  this fabulous bronze light fixture in the living room.













THE most beautiful and interesting hallway . . . possibly ever, including this cool tree-trunk inspired lamp from Post & Gray.

The boy's rooms: They're so fun & lively, the perfect space for three boys to grow.

And finally, a cozy reading corner in the master and a sweet
display of family photos in her dressing room.

Well, this was certainly more than a sneak-peek, but we hope it is as inspiring for you as it is for us.  Enjoy Dilworth's lovliest homes & gardens this weekend.  And don't forget to stop by Post & Gray for our Sidewalk Sale. You may just find something as lovely as one of Kathy's treasures.

Thank you Kathy for letting us preview your home. It is a beautiful reflection of you and your family  xoxo

We can't wait to see you  . . . In The Gray
