[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s very UK House and Garden.

It doesn’t quite work for me. It feels like a copy of a copy of something for some reason. Maybe I’m being unfair. [/quote]

Oh wow, I’m this PP and I have to say I love love other projects on the designer’s website, especially this one. So idk exactly why I hate the Lilly Allen house but it seems like it might be a rare miss.

These give the look of summer camp in the off season. Don't hate it![/quote]

Maybe I hate some of it. This is supposed to make me hire this designer?!

Am I just not with it enough to know what I am looking at and why it's so special?[/quote]

I mean it’s moody photography. But to me there’s some good stuff here. They either preserved or found the lovely doors and appropriate hardware. The floors are beautiful. The blue color on the door is pretty. The bed looks inviting and to make it work in a very small space, they’ve added the sconce and the little wall-mounted table. It’s kind of a tripping hazard but it works well enough. The sconce is mixing in a strong color and another period in a way that works for me. The rug and the hooks are pretty and functional. [/quote]

We (NP here) clearly have a different idea of inviting.  The bed looks like it would inviting for a monk who plans on self-flagelating in his spare time.  The mounted table is going to cause bruised when you slam your thigh/knee into it trying to pass it in the night.  Agree that the doors and floors are nice, but likely original so no props to the decoator from me.[/quote]

Haha I’m the pp and I almost said it was “monastic cell chic” so we’re on the same page lol. I just like it. But I totally get why it’s not for everyone. I just think the execution is much more successful than the lily allen house. [/quote]
