Charmed by this House...

stevieb — Sun, 04 Apr 2021 15:57:35 GMT

I love the look of this house and fresh green yard. Can take or leave most of the decor, which strikes me as rather pat and predictable, but not outright unattractive...

Dining Room... I think it has a certain appeal for yet another neutral room...

Sitting Room... Sorry but I actively dislike sitting rooms that nest four arm chairs together and call it a day. To me, a sitting room needs a sofa or a loveseat along with chairs... I also don't like the fireplace... And the whole ottoman as coffee table thing has grown too common... Just another bland, transitional sitting room...

Bedroom... Like the turquoise accent color and I could live with it, but there are definitely things I'd prefer to change...

@stevieb Agreed. I don't like the hidious gold things on the wall, hate the headboard on the bed, and the lighting is less than lovely.

Love the dining room table and chairs--but would put a pretty warm wood traditional sideboard with it to warm them up rather than that blah white thing that adds nothing.

I love the outside of the house but not the decor inside.

This house is definitely charming.

I am sure it is a product of living in the city where our garages are alley-side, but it is really refreshing to see a lovely home where garage doors are not the main focal point.

More mirrors reflecting more ceilings. Dreadfully dull, neutral decor. Yes, the exterior is the best part. Kudos to the gardner.

The outside of the house is lovely except for those round bushes. I don't care for the inside.

I am in the minority..I like the outside and the inside.

I love rooms that are neutral, bright, and airy...this home checks off all of those boxes.

The only thing I would change is..in the bedroom..I don't like area rugs on top of area rugs. ...love the top rug.

The green grass is nice. However the tree right in front of the windows detracts from the architectural details of the house. The inside is very bland also. It just doesn't have any appeal.

...and I thought I was the only one who disliked round perfectly cut bushes.

I also don't like square bushes or bushes cut in to shapes...natural looking is appealing to me.

I can usually find a redeeming quality in any room but the only thing that caught my eye were the bed pillows! Some color at last. Then they had to get cutesy by covering small books in turquoise on the bedside tables. On my screen the art on the wall looks all blue and doesn't go. IMO it is one of the worst furnished homes in total I have ever seen.

After seeing the serene outside, when I scrolled down to the next picture the dining room mirror scared me. Boo!

Very charming outside. I think I would decorate the house closer to the period when this style was popular.

Not fond of the retro modern in the least.

The dead spider above the table is missing a few legs.

@steviebThe only thing I like are the two night tables. I like mirrored furniture. I think that's Art Deco. Not really sure, could be Art Nouveau.

The outside of the house is so deceiving from what's inside. Don't really like it. I need color.

Thanks for the post

The house itself is lovely and I would empty it of its furnishings and decor and redo.

At one time I could not see gold and silver mixed. Lately, however, when I see it, I like it ! Who knew? I've been eyeing a beautiful vase with that mix. If this is someone's taste, I definitely think this is a great example of how to pull it off.

I'm another odd ball out here... I like the outside a lot, and even liking the gold features.

Only cons for me are the bushes, the sitting room chairs, and the headboard.

I could live with all of them easily.. so I'm nitpicking those.

The yard is so vibrant. Might look totally different under a blanket of snow. It would be easy to change up the interior.

@Kitlynn

That very small crepe myrtle which is not a tree, but an overgrown shrub, keeps the sunlight from peeling the paint off the bedroom walls in August is not a deterrent but a positive to a realtor and/or buyer in the south.
