Tan and his husband are excited to give us a tour of their cozy yet grand entrance. The foyer is beautifully designed with curved stairs that lead up to a mezzanine and a stunning door at the top. To add a touch of wow factor, they opted for a custom-painted canvas instead of regular wallpaper. The foyer is also adorned with trees positioned in alcoves.

Tan can't help but show off his awards, proudly embracing his status as a fully-fledged American. Stay tuned for more insights into Tan France's fabulous home!
  • Subtitles section
  • Hello, AD.
  • Welcome back to our home in Salt Lake City.
  • Finally finished.
  • We're excited to show you.
  • Come on in.
  • So we started building this home two years ago.
  • We started designing this home three years ago.
  • This was a from the ground up build.
  • We have labored so hard over every detail of this home.
  • You got to see many of those components on our show
  • Home At Last,
  • However, there are many things that we didn't get to show you
  • so we want to show you right now.
  • We love this foyer.
  • We wanted the home to feel cozy and cottagey
  • but we still wanted a grand entrance.
  • We designed the curvature of the stairs
  • how it goes up and around
  • the door at the top.
  • I think it's absolutely beautiful.
  • The reason why we wanted this, the mezzanine, is this.
  • Hall, please.
  • I wanted to be able to say
  • when someone walks through my home
  • welcome to my home,
  • Yeah, just a little bit of a wow when you walk into the house,
  • So speaking of wow, we didn't want a regular wallpaper.
  • So, this isn't actually wallpaper
  • this is a painting on canvas that was kind of spliced up and then brought into our home
  • but it was actually custom painted
  • so it hits the right point everywhere in the foyer.
  • In each of the alcoves
  • there's trees positioned in there
  • which I think is gorgeous.
  • When it came to styling the foyer
  • we were really particular about it.
  • We found this burl console
  • and a cabinet that we loved so much from Restoration Hardware,.
  • He's just trying to draw your attention to this right here.
  • I swear to God it's not.
  • But do I love this?

  • And secondly,
  • I don't want it to look like a TV
  • because it just looks like a black box.
  • And I'm not trying to fool anyone.
  • We're not going to pretend that we don't watch TV in the living room,
  • I live on TV in my job and in my private life.
  • So we have a TV above the mantle.

  • I think it's so chic.
  • I think it's the perfect way to finish off this living room
  • fancy receiving room.
  • situation oh yeah, absolutely love it
  • already spilled coffee on it
  • the kids yes, uh, so it's
  • it's well lived in already
  • if you see on my insta me posting in my living room
  • it's with a different sofa
  • it's because my kids just did it like they destroyed the damn thing but for right now i think it's beautiful
  • it's perfect
  • This is the breakfast nook.
  • We do use this a lot every day, constantly.
  • Our son, our eldest, he uses this with his iPad or his box
  • and he will have his breakfast or his lunch
  • which is so lovely,
  • And then I will cook here for him.
  • Rob will help feed him.
  • So we do spend a heck of a lot of time in this space.
  • Our son has already destroyed these pillows.
  • This was the choice that was made so that he would be comfortable
  • but he's destroying it,
  • He also loves to come over here and do this.
  • Because he loves us now.
  • It sings a song.
  • That this fridge makes.
  • And so he says, fridge song.
  • And he means.
  • which I think is absolutely lovely.
  • And then, this is an Indian design
  • and this is the design that Rob did
  • this flower.
  • So by code, you have to have a plug socket on your island.
  • I have no idea why we're sitting there talking about how we were gonna fit these,
  • We didn't wanna pop up
  • and I didn't want just these horrible plug sockets.
  • Gosh, first world problems.
  • I've changed so much.
  • I really wanted to try and hide the plug socket
  • and so I was like, well
  • what if we put a flower here
  • the plug socket goes in the middle
  • and we cover it with something that you can just pop off?
  • Ain't that...
  • Amazing.
  • I love that so much.
  • You saw it here first.
  • If I see it in your house, I know you stole my idea.
  • But take that idea, of all the ideas you want to take
  • take this.
  • I think it's so smart.
  • I love it so much.
  • And therefore, nobody knows, it's just a chic little flower.
  • Spice Kitchen next.
  • Spice Kitchen.
  • Ready?
  • Come on.
  • Some may not know what a spice kitchen is.
  • Oh, the spice kitchen is sometimes in
  • like, fancy Asian homes,
  • You have a separate space where you can cook Indian food.
  • You can close the door
  • so it doesn't permeate the rest of the house,
  • And so this does have a sliding door.
  • We had a home in LA a few years ago
  • and we purchased this Dolce & Gabbana stuff because it made sense for that house,
  • However, with our classic house here
  • it didn't really make sense in the main kitchen.
  • But we decided to add it to the Spice Kitchen because
  • spice.
  • So we feel like the bright, bold colours make sense.
  • And quite honestly, the way this is done
  • if you've ever been to India or Pakistan
  • our buses are basically painted like that.
  • So it feels very much in Cuba, I think.
  • You've seen all about the dining room and how it lasts.
  • I won't belabor this, but I love this.
  • Yeah, me too.
  • It's our formal dining space.
  • And we've used it so many times.
  • Yeah, we've had friends around the table.
  • We call it formal dining space
  • but there have been many a pizza box.
  • Our version of Indian takeout and pizza
  • is what we've eaten on this table so far,
  • To be fair, I did cook for Thanksgiving.
  • Oh, that's true, that's true.
  • But typically, yeah, it's not as formal as it might appear.
  • And the thing we do love about it
  • that I'm so glad we did decide to do
  • was to add in these doors
  • because our friends are exceptionally loud,
  • And so, to be able to close up these doors
  • and then scream, has made all the difference,
  • This bay window from the outside
  • it looks lovely, but the kids really have spent a fair amount of time here,
  • You look closely, you will see my son's... Face prints.
  • Uh huh.
  • Because he likes to kiss the city.
  • All the snow, all the deer.
  • Often in the morning, we'll just have the kids here
  • and we'll let them look out
  • and keep themselves entertained.
  • I love this spot.
  • It's one of my favorite spots in the house.
  • Best view in the house.
  • Yeah, absolutely.
  • Like jaw dropping view.
  • So it's a nice place.
  • It's a nice place to sit.
  • You may remember from Home At Last
  • we said that we don't want our kids in here
  • like we want just a space for us adults.
  • And that lasted a day.
  • Tops.
  • Anyone who's at home, who's got kids
  • would have laughed at that comment,
  • But I do love that our son will get into bed with us
  • our eldest, and we'll just bring his iPad in the morning first thing,
  • And so for the first twenty minutes
  • he will just lay in bed and just watch a show.
  • It's gorgeous.
  • And when he needs some calm time
  • he'll come and get in the nook
  • and say that he's taking a nap in the nook
  • and he'll just lay down,
  • I always wanted our children to hang out in this nook
  • and the fact that he does,
  • It's gorgeous.
  • Oh my gosh, I love it so much.
  • And then all of my work
  • if ever any of you have a Zoom with me
  • I do all of my Zoom calls from here.
  • I bring this over, I put my laptop on it
  • I scoot back, and I'm usually just in a pair of shorts and a tank top
  • which is so professional for a Zoom call with really important clients.
  • And this is where I do my Zooms.
  • Since we last saw you, it's looked like this outside.
  • Please take a look.
  • We'll get to the balcony some day.
  • There's a fog of smell on the balcony.
  • We're not spending time out there right now.
  • It looks beautiful from inside.
  • It does look gorgeous.
  • Yeah, we just haven't gotten out.
  • Primary bath, love our cabinet so much.
  • I just think it's all gorgeous.
  • I'm still so happy with the wallpaper.
  • The dual vanities has been a godsend, having both of them.
  • We're still married.
  • Nailed it.
  • Robert said that he wanted this one.
  • I said I wanted that one.
  • And it works.
  • We've not changed.
  • It does work.
  • My biggest issue is I didn't want to spit in front of him.
  • Two months, he's not seen me spit.
  • My biggest issue is that
  • I always like to talk to him while we're brushing our teeth,
  • You try and talk with your mouth full, with your brush.
  • It's just like an eighties, like,
  • teen movie thing to do.
  • I've never understood a single word.
  • I smile, I go, uh huh
  • and then I walk away thinking
  • I don't know what she can say.
  • So this closet is Rob's closet.
  • Mostly Rob's closet.
  • I have my closet downstairs.
  • We never showed this on How But Lust.
  • Everyone assumed that I would move into this space.
  • And I did it!
  • Thank you so much, you naysayers.
  • If you will come around
  • please, you will see a section of the closet that is still empty,
  • That is to receive Tan's collection of daily clothing.
  • But, yeah, do I keep, like, five things here?
  • Yeah, like for my day to day stuff.
  • Maybe the drawers.
  • Yeah, check the drawers.
  • Yeah, I've got like some t shirts and some underwear.
  • It's just my round the house clothes is here.
  • He was never going to fill this whole space.
  • So I've used this small section for me.
  • The rest of it is yours.
  • If you come back in a month, that'll be full.
  • It won't.
  • Come back in two years.
  • And just to piss you off, I'm never going to fill that.
  • OK, well, I'll leave it empty for you.
  • Thanks.
  • Our favorite thing in the house
  • I thought I didn't have a favorite
  • but I definitely do.
  • Right here.
  • This is the mouse house.
  • Basically, an Instagram account
  • they post strange listings of homes and like the weird
  • crazy things that people do.
  • And I was swiping through and I saw this little diorama
  • a little mouse house built into the wall.
  • And I thought, I'm doing that in my house.
  • And so Rob was like, OK
  • Ismael loves the book Good Night Moon.
  • So let's do a Good Night Moon version.
  • Every little detail from Good Night Moon is here.
  • our house every night before bed.
  • Our son comes out here with his blanket.
  • And the book.
  • The book, Goodnight Moon, and he sits in front of it.
  • And he says goodnight to everything in here.
  • Refuses to go to bed without doing it.
  • We cannot put him in bed without saying goodnight.
  • And then right across from the nice house is this nice room.
  • There are entertainers who have these really elaborate rooms for their kids
  • and they're gorgeous, don't get me wrong
  • I think they're incredible.
  • We really want our kids to have a nice room
  • like a nice nursery, but we don't want it to feel over the top
  • because how the heck do they compete with that in the future?
  • But also, his bedroom cannot be his play place at all.
  • So I know that if there was a slide in here
  • if there were things to climb
  • he would never go to sleep.
  • We were really particular about the space
  • and I'm so happy with how it turned out,
  • And he loves it.
  • It does feel a little large for a two year old
  • but by the time he gets to his teens,
  • He'll be a teen, and he'll be sneaking out that window
  • I'm sure.
  • That's our biggest fear
  • because this is what I would do as a kid,
  • He will open those windows and just kind of shimmy down
  • because it's not that long of a drop
  • but if you ever do that
  • you're grounded for life,
  • We're gonna find a makeshift ladder stashed away in here somewhere,
  • This is our theater room.
  • There is so much I want to say about this space
  • because I love it,
  • First and foremost, I love this wallpaper so much
  • and it's designed by Robert!
  • Me!
  • Did it myself.
  • Didn't paint it myself
  • but yeah, we had the opportunity to design a wallpaper.
  • It's meant to look like rice plants and the reflection on the water,
  • Definitely bold, but yeah, I love it.
  • I'm really, really happy about it.
  • We're not finished in this space.
  • We haven't got pillows yet.
  • We're getting custom bar stools that are not finished.
  • It's a work in progress.
  • So the kids do love to play down here.
  • Ismail loves to bring his cars and play on this stuff.
  • So it's kind of a dual function.
  • So many people, including my sister and my cousins
  • are like, the TV is too small.
  • However, when we sit,
  • This is the perfect size.
  • Any bigger and I'd have to move my head to the screen.
  • To read the subtitles, yeah.
  • And I'm too lazy to move my head to read.
  • And so this is ninety inches in, kids.
  • So yeah, we spent a lot of time here.
  • Yes, I know we've got white sofas and children.
  • And kids.
  • But they're washable, and the kids aren't allowed to eat food down here,
  • Lol.
  • I know eventually they will
  • but right now they don't eat food here.
  • We've stained them with chocolate so far.
  • The kids have done nothing, but we've stained them already.
  • I do eat a lot of chocolate.
  • At night, and I do drop a lot of that chocolate on the sofa
  • but I clean it every time,
  • The closet!
  • It is incredible.
  • I don't come down here very often.
  • I'm allowed, but I... Our kids are not allowed.
  • Our kids are not allowed
  • and I've usually got one clinging on.
  • I have kept this very organized
  • which is a much to everyone's surprise.
  • I finally opened up all my boxes
  • and now every piece of clothing I own is in this house.
  • The space wouldn't be as gorgeous without Rob's work.
  • Do you want to talk about what you did?
  • So it was a collaborative effort.
  • So any of the stenciling that you see was designed by
  • well, us together.
  • I drew it up, Tan decided on the colors
  • and then we had a lovely painter come in.
  • Marjorie.
  • Marjorie.
  • She brought it to life.
  • I think it looks absolutely beautiful.
  • Even though we have separate closets, there is some sharing.
  • Crossover.
  • Styled by Tan France.
  • Today, luckily, we wear the same size.
  • And for nicer stuff, like for events
  • you will typically come down to this closet
  • and choose something,
  • Oh, I don't have a tux.
  • Yeah.
  • He does have a tux.
  • If I have a tux, he has a tux.
  • Whenever there's an event
  • he comes down and, well
  • can choose whatever he wants.
  • Rob designed the hardware completely.
  • These are bluebells, and he designed the shape of it
  • and then it was brought to life by Chris
  • which is wonderful.
  • We love it so much.
  • We used the bluebell because Tan and his siblings used to play a game where they had a store
  • where they would sell flowers
  • and they would find flowers around the town and sell those flowers to one another,
  • And bluebells were the most expensive flower
  • the most sought after flower.
  • I do want to make it really clear to our neighbors from our hometown
  • who already hate us,
  • We weren't stealing your flowers.
  • We were taking wild flowers
  • and then selling those to each other,
  • We weren't pillaging your gardens.
  • Thank you so much for coming along on this house tour.
  • It's so personal to us
  • so we hope you love it as much as we do.
  • Thanks for coming.
  • I'm going to go find the kids.
  • Oh, yeah.
  • Where are the kids?
  • We better go find them.
  • See you.
  • Bye.
  • Bye.
  • Get out of here.
  • See ya.
