Way too formal for my lifestyle.

Picture pretty but NO as far as a home I want to live in.

@stevieb I adore this blue themed decor in this Blue Ridge home and thank you for sharing them with us.

The blue is so soothing throughout! Love that first dining area with a beautiful wooded view!

Lovely, but not for me.

I'm not really a fan of pale blue so I don't use it in my home.

I do like the foyer and the two dining spaces with views. Very nice!

The living room is too formal, and the bedroom has too many plates on the walls. Don't understand that in a bedroom anyway.

Light Blue is a color I don't use in my own home, but do like it when I see it in other homes.

It works here, however I do not care for all of the plates on the wall in the bedroom, very strange, but do love the other rooms, especially the Dining Room.

They do like their lamps and light fixtures.

Other than that, there are some really lovely items in this home.

I do love that large tapestry hanging in what appears to be the foyer. I really enjoy tapestries or interesting textiles as dramatic wall hangings.

However, the two sets of lights bothers me a bit. The one set on the wall and the other a set of table lamps on the cabinet. I might have preferred shorter lamps on the cabinet, perhaps a set of shorter lamps whose bases are decorative porcelain pieces. Or perhaps just one placed on the left hand side.

There is a lot of light blue, which I find to be a cold color on colder days, so I would not have so much of it in my house. They have used it very well in elegant fashion, but just not my style.

I don't like formal anything. I also don't like all the plates on the walls?

I love the entrance buffet and tapestry, I do not care for the sconces, if I had to keep them I would change the style of them and eliminate the standing lamps.

I would change the dining room furniture to something much less formal, I just don't do formal, and that setting deserves rustic or at least casual. Another that really feels confused about the plates on the wall in the bedroom.

Beautiful home. The light fixture are so unique..I'm ready to move in!

There's not one thing I don't like. I could even live with plates on the walls. The slipcovered dining chairs are so pretty, but I'd only serve bread (no butter!) and dry cereal at that table....lol.

Beautiful furnishings, drapes, decor, all very appealing to me as I love the formal look! The tapestry in the entry hall is an eye catcher and lovely. I do not care for the fixtures, however, and would have different lamps. I would add more color with art work and rugs.

Very soothing home.

It's beautifully done but most all of it is too formal for me, except for the bedroom which I feel is very dreamy and restful.

I can imagine being very happy sleeping in that room. I love the clean, uncluttered space and the light blue tones are so refreshing. I love ivories and light blues in a bedroom and I really love the pop of the big blue and white floral pillows. Just gorgeous!

I also love all the curtains and how they are hung high, that's a trick I like to use to make a room look more opulent.....

Thanks for the lovely!

I started noticing all the curtains are hung very high on the wall, nearly at the ceiling. It certainly gives a clean line and more drama, but that would cost a lot for all those long long curtains.

I find the bed to be very formal and actually not very inviting. Too many decorative pillows and I don't find the metal frame adds much.

Way too formal for me also, all the way through. And too cluttered.

As always though, I appreciate @stevieb and others posting pictures. I like looking at them even though they never seem to represent what I'd pick for my home.

The interior design of the home was beautifully done. However, it would be too formal and two frou frou for me and my lifestyle. I'm also in the "I don't understand plates on a bedroom wall" camp.

Very attractive, but not for me. Too formal and fussy.
