MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA LIVING ROOM

Oznell — Mon, 05 Jun 2023 21:48:53 GMT

Designer Matthew O'Dorisio has a soft, sort of "old-California" style here. What a pleasant room. Has a lot of elements I'm always drawn to-- gentle color palette, comfort, arched fireplace surround, curated pottery, iron, beams, oversize art, indoor-outdoor feeling.

Pretty exterior of the four bedroom, 1920's house. Even has a turret.

And airy bedroom.

What a lovely home! The living room looks comfortable, so spacious, the art work, shelves filled with decor between the windows, drapes which I always love, and books on the coffee table, all so appealing. I also like the different type furniture to relax on. The bedroom serves its purpose, a nice place to relax and sleep in. All in all very pretty!!!!!!

overall a very pretty, inviting, relaxing home, although i wonder how many people actually use their living rooms these days? we use ours maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

It seems very peaceful. Can't find anything I dislike.

What a beautiful exterior....love it!

I would tweak a couple of small things in the living room. I'd change the window treatments to something a little darker to balance out that side of the room. Same for the painting over the fireplace. Speaking of the fireplace, I'd prefer a clean square edge but I'm guessing there are arches like this throughout the house.

The bedroom appears soft and serene. I'd prefer a different headboard...one without a print (or a different one). Same for the frame under the mattress.

I see a lot I like here: especially the outside of the home! I'd have to change a few items inside. This home is very pleasant.

I agree with the discerning bed un-tuckers on the thread! I like a more relaxed look there too.

It has a casual elegance that appeals to me. I love it.

It seems to me every home shown has shelves. I don't like them anywhere in homes. They collect dust on the shelves and on the objects that are on them. Oh I am older. That must be why.

What an appealing exterior.

The living room looks comfortable if rather generic. The splayed leg coffee table most sincerely needs to go. Like the fireplace and the lamp table beneath the far window. As for the bedroom, the night tables are nice looking.

I like the exterior more than the furnishings inside this home. I would make some changes.

In the living room I'd prefer solid chairs and curtains. I like glass tables in sunrooms, but I think this one is unattractive. IMO a wooden coffee table would be better in this space. Something about the shelf between the windows is bothering me. I think I'd prefer a stand alone shelf or cabinet there instead.

I don't care for the printed headboard or frame on the bed. The lamp color and curtain color don't seem to go together to me. The space needs some warmth and comfort elements. JMO
