Long story short: Chelsey said, “Hey did you see that new Architectural Digest Open Door Tour of Emma Chamberlain’s home?” And I was like “Oh I saw a thumbnail but haven’t watched it yet. Who is she? A pop singer?” (Clearly I’m an out-of-touch Millenial. Insert sweat emoji here.) “No she’s a youtuber,” Chelsey said. “It’s a super cute house, you should watch it.”

Wow. Can’t believe we did this…. I honestly feel guilty as a designer for sourcing all of these items. I also felt really creepy because these items are straight up in a human being’s home. I hope this post doesn’t come across as weird or creepy. Honest to goodness, Chelsey and I just had SO much fun with this Architectural Digest video because we were like, “Oh! I know what that is! OOhh cool I know where that is from. We should write a blog post on it!” I was really worried that we’d be creepy creepers. Then I came up with the phrase “Design Detectives” and felt a little bit better about it. I saw youtube channels saying “exposing her house” or “architect reacts” with a stinky face. And we’re not like that at all. We love how genuine & authentic Emma’s house is for her. It is literally a 3D embodiment of her personality. (From what I saw lol.)
Knob in Brushed Nickel. 2. Backsplash Tile in the 2x8” Smooth. 3. Countertop. 4. Similar Cabinet Paint Color. 4. Pot Filler in Polished Copper. 5. Small Faucet in Polished Copper. 6. Large Faucet in Polished Copper. 7. Hand Soap. 8. Cook Book I. 9. Cook Book II.
Some of the items we ID’d are 100% the correct item. Some of them are extremely similar to the original. We didn’t want to post anything that was just “somewhat similar.” That’s not our vibe. We wanted to be as genuine as possible. DISCLAIMER: Items that are complete guesses are the wall & cabinet paint colors. We’re looking at light on a screen here, and paint on a surface DEFINITNELY looks different in person. So take that with a grain of salt.
I hate to be “that person,” but I have to be honest with you all: her kitchen countertop is not a marble. It’s a Quartzite. Fusion Quartzite to be exact. Aaaand it’s the old version of the Fusion Quartzite. (That is the good version!) Stone is mined from the ground and that means that colorations & veining DO change over time. So the old “dye-lot” of Fusion Quartzite had this amazing light celery green vibe with subtle stripes of coppery-orange, tealy-blue and subtle pink swirls. OBSESSED. Unfortunately, the earth’s crust changed & current slabs are more of a muddy dark-brown color. So you literally cannot get this anymore. (Tears.) BUT we did snag a slab for our Lincoln client and we had a custom sink made out of it. (Stay tuned for that!)
DISCLAIMER: Also, the majority of the items we’re showing you in her home are CUSTOM pieces. Which means the website links will show you it in a standard finish, but it is also available in tons of other custom finishes. So it might be the exact chair, chandelier, whatever, but in a different custom color.
“ I’ve seen hundreds of these Open Door tours and Emma has the most genuine connection with the audience BY FAR. She’s clearly very talented at what she does.”

Multiple times, Chelsey and I would catch ourselves saying, “Oh my gosh I’VE SEEN THIS! Did I pin it? Did I save it on Instagram? Where is it????” Then we’d eventually find it. Haha we had so much fun doing this! And I know this is the first Emma Chamberlain youtube video I’ve seen, but can I say that I feel like we’re friends? She talks so naturally to the camera and it feels like an inside tour between friends.

One thing I thought of when she was showing us her super cool cat bed was, “Where TF is her cat?” Then I realized that pretty kitty is probably hiding! So many new strangers in the house. Probably hiding under a bed or chair somewhere. Totally fine. I do love a good cat pic though. Don’t you? Pets photographed in interior photoshoots are my favorite.
