The original 'young fogey,' Tommy Smythe, associate designer with Sarah Richardson Design and co-star of HGTV's Sarah's Cottage and Sarah's House, is a serial decorator. In his many forays into home ownership and renting, Tommy has managed to make each home distinct and personal — not by chasing trends, but by giving fresh purpose to his favourite furniture and family heirlooms. Browse this gallery of four of his houses, photographed for House & Home between 2004 and 2010, and learn how to get a brand new look using the same old stuff. See if you can spot the timeless pieces that have followed him from house to house!
