[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the green sitting room with the desk nook, and while I would not want it in my house, there is something fun about the all blue bathroom with the blue toilet and tub.

The rest of it doesn’t look right. The kitchen is a total miss— the checkered fabric with the oversized chandelier? Incongruous and not in a fun or interesting way. Agree the pink bedspread is awful. The mismatched textiles in that bathroom don’t work well together (even as intentionally mismatched).

I actually really enjoy English eclectic maximalism when done well, but this isn’t it. [/quote]

+1 on all of this. From reading the description, I thought I’d love it. I live in a very calm “beachy” house that I love, but I think I want my next house to be a riot of color.

I think the miss in the kitchen is the drab color of the checked fabric. If you’re going for color and gingham — really go for it!

I generally don’t mind the “not lived in” vibe. If I was getting my house ready for an AD spread, you could bet that it wouldn’t look “lived in,” although it currently does. Maybe it’s all the velvet that makes it look that way to me? I know there’s “performance velvet” these days but I have bad memories of my Grandma’s scratchy velvet couch and it just doesn’t read “comfortable” to me. [/quote]
