Eclectic Home Tour – Friendship Manor

Love the pair of built in bookcases with blue painted backs kellyelko.com

I stumbled across Friendship Manor on Instagram and fell instantly in love with this 1928 Georgian home filled with original details mixed with eclectic style.

“Walk through our home, and it’s a curious mix of artifacts gathered from global travels, family heirlooms, and antique store finds. From the vintage band of Mexican skeletons above our bed, to the 1965 opera poster in the foyer, to the cake plate collection in the butler’s pantry, it’s a marriage that transcends the constraints of classic styles. It’s a gallery, but you can touch things” says Daniela.

  2. Again you have brought a wonderful house to explore,a true enjoyment. Thank you and have a great weekend.

  3. I can’t even find the words to describe how much I love this home. The way they’ve mixed the old with the new is extrodinary. Thank you Kelly for bringing us such a great home tour !

  4. Wow! I’m loving the personality this home has!! Even the kitchen! It’s not your cookie cutter mini mansion of today and there is much to enjoy in this home! The doorway is similar to the doorways in Naval housing near Annapolis, which unfortunately due to asbestos in the basement were torn down and discarded… Heart wrenching! So it is heartwarming to see this surround intact. Thanks for the post, always a pleasure to read.
