Colorful Condo...

stevieb — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 12:44:19 GMT

One of my pet peeves with magazine publishers is those that manage more than one title tend to use the same features in various of their magazines, which, let's face it, are no longer inexpensive. I like some of the rooms featured here, but am pretty sure I've seen them at least once and more likely twice or more in various articles... Anyway. these are excerpted from an item about a pretty beachside condo...

The dining niche, which adjoins the living room... I really love the drop front desk, Windsor chairs, table and settee. I also like the fact that the 'beachy' feel is minimal...

Lovely sideboard and yellow vases... I like the yellow and blue combination...

Stylish, bright and crisp bathroom, though I might have chosen a different wall covering...

One of the guest rooms. I like the beds and bedding, don't like the wallpaper...

I think this is the master. Not a fan of pencil post beds and, in fact, not a fan of most of these elements...

I do like the bath wall paper . The bed rooms are cute summer cottage decor

It's nice to see some color instead of all neutral rooms, but I'm not really loving these spaces. I'm not a wallpaper fan, and most of the prints they selected just aren't for me.

Normally, I like built-ins with shelves, but these kind of look like they were just stuck on the wall. Maybe another shelf or cabinet inbetween, instead of the yellow seat, would look better.

I like the sideboard, but the pieces on it are too symmetrical. I also like the large counter space, cabinets, and vanity area in the bathroom, but I don't like the mirrors, wallpaper, or pink stool.

I like green, but I wouldn't choose the patterns or wallpaper in the green bedroom. I'm not loving the headboards either. The neutral wall color in the last bedroom is fine, but I don't care for the colors or prints in the space.

I LOVE the pink vanity stool. If I knew where to find it, I'd buy it.

Actually looks like someones favorite things for their condo!! Not my cup of tea but it shouldn't be!!! altho I have to say---does anyone really set their dining room table just for every day decor?? I am not a fan. I know it's for a mag shoot . My realtor wanted me to do the same for my diningoom table during open houses and I said no--I put a centerpiece on it like normal. It sold it 2 days--without a set table!

@wagirl - our house sold immediately in January and it was totally empty.

@gidgetgh That's the way I bought my house and that's the way I will sell it when the time comes.

I don't care for this condo and its furnishings and decor. I do like wallpaper but not what is in these rooms. I would make changes with the art work also. Not for me.

@gidgetgh

I've seen similar at Home Goods . Their furniture resembles pieces from Frontgate , Neiman Marcus , Grandin Road

This condo is just OK for me. I don't care for the decor in any of the rooms with the exception of the sideboard area...I like the blue and yellow. It's different.

The only room I like is the bathroom, minus the wallpaper and lighting.

The condo itself I mostly don't care for-- it is a tad too fussy, yet "formulaic", to me. But like @DREAMON , I like the vignette of the sideboard with yellow pottery and painting against a dreamy blue wall. Sideboard is so pretty, and the overall effect is striking.

I really appreciate the use of color in this condo but I would still have to remodel and refurnish most of these rooms. It wouldn't quite be a flip but close to it. The first thing to come down would be the wallpaper in the bedrooms/bathrooms.

I do like blue and yellow but not how they've coordinated it here. It doesn't help that I don't care for the table, chairs and that bench seat (and the fabric it's covered in). I love the blue and yellow painting hanging above the sideboard!!!

I really like the 2nd photo with the Blue and Yellow, I have seen that color combo before and it is really pretty together, especially with a little white mixed in...

The rest is not really my style or taste, I do like wallpaper, but not any of these designs....

I do appreciate that the rooms are colorful though and not all beige or all white.......

Very cool vanity stool....I'd like to have that one.

Who glues wine corks to the backs of bookcases & thinks it looks like anything but a 1st grade craft project? The sideboard pic is ok if you like that color combo I guess. The bathroom is vintage but not in a good way, and that vanity chair is the most ugly thing I've ever seen! The bedrooms are similar to the bathrooms in trying to look chic and vintage, but it's just a horrible mish mash. Usually I like colorful spaces or even can find some redeeming part, but this is just wrong on so many levels. Nothing even attempts to go together (in my opinion).

I do not like the blue walls. That color blue is hideous to me no matter where it is. Strange that each room has a different color scheme. I think it would look a lot better if it had some of the influence as the first photo shown.
