While we know that the HGTV Dream Home 2021 was furnished by national brands like Wayfair, interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn was sure to add many authentic touches inspired by his frequent visits to the area and shopping trips to Newport. Take Flynn’s cues for adding ship-shape appeal to your home.
VINTAGE LOVE: Flynn used old tennis rackets from Aardvark Antiques as wall art in the plaid bedroom. Similar objects easily add texture and personality.
COASTAL ACCENTS: For decor pieces with Rhody allure, Ben’s Furniture on Thames Street was a go-to for Flynn who frequented Kilwins for ice cream.
NAUTICAL TONES: While a sailboat theme runs throughout with models and artwork, the vibe is more yacht than small craft with wood finishes and a range of rich colors including brown, red, and blue on both walls and appliances.
It was love at first sight when Jeff Yanes spied the sprawling Cape Cod style home on a bluff in Portsmouth. With its basement game room, built-in wet bar, and backyard putting green, the 3,300-square-foot fully furnished home was perfect. “It’s everything you could want in a house,” Yanes said in a network statement. “It’s hard to pinpoint one room,” he replied when asked to name a favorite room. From his home in Austin, Texas, Yanes entered to win the Aquidneck Island property twice each day. Wait, what? Yes, we’re talking about the HGTV Dream Home 2021.
If you were someone who entered to win the sweepstakes, you were among 136 million disappointed hopefuls when the network announced that Yanes won the prize. Valued at over $2.8 million, leading-edge appliances, original art, and even a
motorhome were all part of the package. However, news soon followed of it all being up for grabs, including the furniture, art, and appliances. We didn’t speak to Yanes but can guess he’s not keeping his winnings due to the lengthy commute and, more seriously, the impending significant tax bill to follow; selling is a common route for large prize winners.
