[quote=Anonymous]Okay most importantly: A++++ cat. 100% would adopt him should Jennifer Garner suddenly develop an allergy. Would retain his name. I had neutral feelings about Garner before seeing the cat but am now probably going to start following her on Instagram just for #moosesightings.

As for the house:

There are elements I really love. The Farrow & Ball wall color in the library is fantastic and I will be using it on a nook in my bedroom soon. Also love some of the furniture including the chairs in the breakfast nook and the "milking stool" next to the tub in the master bath. Good use of textiles generally -- a lot of texture even in the upholstery (be the cat loves that too).

The overall effect is too generic for me though. I love wood and natural surfaces. I love blue in decor. I love "outside in" design with lots of views of the yard (and I love the clover garden -- environmentally friendly and easy to maintain). But somehow the way it comes together in these photos feels like the lobby of a [gorgeous well-designed comfy] upscale resort. It doesn't look like a home to me.

This is partly due to the scale of the house and the rooms and even some of the furniture. The size of the island in the kitchen is honestly stupid. I dislike the dining room which feels thrown together and not welcoming. The kitchen cabinets feel high-end generic. Even the exterior just feels like expensive but still cookie cutter new build.

The master bedroom -- which is somehow not massive even though most of the rooms are -- felt weirdly impersonal. The way the coverlet and the abstract art perfectly match just feels cheesy (and again kind of like a hotel).

It's possible it looks impersonal because she's prepping it for sale and also didn't want to reveal too many personal details in the photos (which I get). But while I will enjoy shopping the photo credits I would never use any of these photos as inspo for my own house.

But moose please visit me.[/quote]
