I like the house. But I don't like any of the decor.

The only positive for me is the color of the bedroom walls. Otherwise, no.

Wow, that's some fancy, south Florida or Carribean "coastal."

Coastal where I'm at in CT looks a lot different...more New England. Which is understandably different in different locales.

That said, I don't like any of the decor...but I do like the rooms, and open spaces, and those beautiful big french doors and domed window above. Love the clean fireplace wall.

The bedroom I'd clean out completely, take off the curtains, and do clean, cottage type coastal...just a personal preference. I'd change those cold, hard tile floors too, to hardwood with area rug, or even some soft carpeting.

The kitchen....I'd just plain run from! lol

This is very Miami to me. I love the pale blue color used.

I am not one for heavy drapes but I can see how they are needed in extremely hot climates.

The kitchen would have to have the wallpaper and drapes removed/replaced. Maybe just an accent of the wallpaper would be OK.

The drapes would be replaced with shades or blinds for a cleaner look.

I would never have drapes in a kitchen.

Gut it and start over. Great bones, would love to tackle it.

When I think of Coastal I think Inviting, warm, comfortable, homey, etc. (among other things) The decor used here is far too stiff and formal for me. Plus, I just don't care for it, personally. I do kinda like the bedroom but would still have to tweak it quite a bit for me.

This is not altogether my cup of tea either, but let me just note, there are various incarnations of 'coastal' and no, this is clearly not 'coastal cottage'...

For sure, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise...perhaps just acknowledging to myself, and stating how steeped in New England, Cape Cod coastal I personally am.

Miami and elsewhere tropical...a whole different vibe.

This..."vibe" in these photos is not mine either. Love that living room though...as a blank slate.

I'll pass on this decor. It does not read Coastal at all to me. These rooms are Formal and stiff. Coastal is more of a relaxed, easy type of decor.

@stevieb .....I think it's all very pretty though I'd have a difficult time living with that kitchen! It doesn't say have a cuppa but rather have a tequilla!! (which is not my vibe)

I like everything but the wallpaper in the kitchen.

I love this house! I do not love the decor. There are aspects that are ok to me, but for the most part, I would re-do!

House had good bones and great potential - that's the positive. The rest is a redo for sure.

Again, agree to disagree. 'Coastal', as with any other form of decorating, has various incarnations. I don't much like the overall decor off these spaces, though there are elements I enjoy, but this is most definitely one, among many, ways in which coastal decorating is played out, albeit a more formal version. I mean come on, who'd put that kitchen in a country ranch house or English style cottage!?

Don't care for this incarnation of "coastal."

I love the spaciousness of the house, very appealing. I also like most of the furniture , some of the decor but do not like the kitchen at all. I don't get a coastal feel but I would like to empty the house and redo it because of all that great space!!!!

My home is coastal decor! Love it! My goal is to get a conversation sofa! I haven't been able to find one but by hook or crook I wil have one sometime in the future.

The rooms are nice and spacious, and they have a cooling look for a climate that probably gets very warm. In the living room, the chandelier appears to drop down from the sky. The powder blue velvet couch is pretty. The stair runner carpet is multi-color and unique looking (I enlarged the second photo of the living room to get a closer look at it). It is unusual to see full length curtains in a kitchen. The Le Creuset tea kettle, cups, and curtains match very nicely with the kitchen.

Love the colors and of course, the rooms are decorated for the cameras so there are lots of stuff I would never have in my house, but very soothing and lovely.
