I like it. It reminds me of my grandmother's parlor, that we weren't allowed to go in.

That clock reminds me of a hubcap.

I am caught in the middle .... I like it & then again I don’t like it .... can’t make up my mind🙄

@January121 I think the thing about it is that while it's lovely to behold, it isn't a room most of us would put together for the average home... As pretty as it is, I also wonder if that settee is at all comfortable, despite the overstuffed cushions.

My mind is made up.

I don't like it.

i do like the looks of it, but that cushion is way too short for comfy seating.

Pretty. but I need more seat room. I always wanted a chaise lounge for my living room to read. Love the tulips

@lolakimono The clock probably isn't the room's finest feature... I'd like, though, to see it 'head on' before making up my mind. Think I'd have opted for another print where the clock is and a pretty table clock on the handsomely carved chest.

Pretty, but not for me. Don’t see any reading lights.

Like traditional, but not this style and sad to say not sure what it is. Definitely, a European influence, Italian, French, or English Victorian influence or a mix. Don't know and don't like it.

Give me good old American designed Queen Ann and Chippendale, less ornate than English of those eras, and I'll be happy. I even like American primitive.

The room architecture looks great. The wallpaper is OK, but I wouldn't use it. Definitely, not the curtains with those tassels. The clock is ugly and doesn't belong. No for the pictures.

No pink flowered furniture for me. The color scheme is serene and comforting, but would drive me nuts. I like strong colors.

Probably, stepped on a lot of toes of those who like it, but...overall, it's nicely done for those who like this style, but I find it stuffy, something that might appeal to English Royal ladies.

Reminds me of my Grandmother's older home.

Don't know why but I like the chair - looks very comfy & has a lighter pattern. Don't care for the gold along the sides. The vase & flowers look nice in front of the window. I don't like anything else.

I like the soft pink in the decor but I don’t care for the ugly drapes. The “hubcap” clock has to go.

No worries @Foxxee . We all like what we like and while I do like this room, I also like American Primitve and some of the other styles you cite. As for what this is, it's primarily a more formal take on French decor. We tend to see more Country French, which is less 'refined' and more relaxed.

Pretty, comfy and feminine. Looks cozy and happy to me.

Too fancy, period and crowded for my taste!
