Love to hear your take, @stevieb . This really isn't my cup of tea. I know I can express my opinion with you and it won't offend you ~

The living room walls look like something that should be on the floor. Too many colors and patterns going on. I also don't care for tablecloths on end tables.

The scallopped hood over the stove is too much - too cutesy for me. I love the cabinets and really don't mind the color, but the backsplash seems like a wrong choice. Again, JMO.

One thing I noticed is that some of the ceilings are painted blue. My ceilings in my home and porches are painted blue/green. I love the look.

Thanks for sharing~

The dining room is fabulous! I love that the house looks like you are using what you have bought and collected through your life rather than some trendy matchy-matchy stuff and "decor" that was obviously bought recently and is of-the-moment.

I like when people buy things they like/love and let it reflect their personality rather than be bought for trend.

I don't care for the Decor Flow of this house.

I like the Kitchen (minus the gingerbread hood) and Breakfast Room..they look lovely together.

The Dining Room and Sitting Area are complimentary and look very nice together but the more Modern Living room is totally off to me. Maybe it's the art work that my eye keeps going to. Art Work is something that makes or breaks a room for me...an easy fix but I just can't take my eyes off of it when I dislike it.

I like a house to flow from room to room and this house doesn't do that for me but I did find it interesting.

Added-I just realized what I thought was the Sitting Room is actually part of the Living Room. After noticing that I have come to the conclusion that replacing the painting over the sofa, the wallpaper on that wall, and removing the scalloped hood would make me really like this home a heck of a lot more.

I like the kitchen & living room. I want the pic in the living room. Hate the scalloped hood in the kitchen.

The rest of the rooms are too fancy formal for me.

The wallpaper in the living room must have came from different runs. The wallpaper in the corner that comes around behind the lamp looks different from the rest of it?

Maybe it's the light. Doesn't look like it lines up the same.

@Nightowlz ,

I too noticed the wallpaper doesn't line up.

I don't care for this house at all, except the very last picture-that is very pretty. Love that shade of green. The rest, I don't care for.....

@stevieb What is that thing on the kitchen wall?

The only items I like are the celadon cabinets and the finish on the highboy.

I'm just not in love with any of it.....from the green cabinetry, the hideous wallpaper throughout, most of the furniture and the scalloped range hood, etc. I lean much more towards modern/contemporary.

@Mz iMac ,

It's a Pot Filler

@DREAMON

That is a wonderful idea. I have never heard of a pot filler or seen one for that matter. ~~Maybe I have, just didn't know what I was looking at.~~

Thank you.

@Mz iMac ,

I personally don't have one but have stayed in houses on vacation that do have them and really like them.

I have a few family members that have and love them.

When we were building our house I mentioned to my husband that I wanted one and he said.....Just what we need something else to get a leak in the wall. Needless to say I didn't get one.

I was not a fan of the very first photo (living room?), but I absolutely LOVE the kitchen and dining room! That kitchen cabinet paint color is so fresh. Gorgeous!

This is such a pretty home. I really like the blue ceilings and the way the blue and green are mixed in the kitchen. The first room, while pretty, is a bit bright for my taste.

Exactly the same for me.

@tends2dogs... Like most others, I don't like the living room wallpaper at all. Can take or leave the art over the sofa, though it might work better against something other than that wallpaper. Although the furniture pieces are appealing, something is just amiss for me. I also am not sure I like the bright chartreuse table cover, which seems rather jarring and also appears to pick up on nothing else in the rooms. I do love the highboy. I very much like the kitchen and breakfast area, love that fresh green. Don't care for the dining room wallpaper and don't really love the table or ceiling light, though the table is rather handsome, as is the breakfront. The dining chairs are very pretty, like them a lot. I don't mind the scalloped hood or the tiles chosen, but probably wouldn't have chosen either of them for myself.

The house is colorful, yet it's grounded, comfy, & homey.

I really like it.

Forgot to mention, I especially love those French style breakfast room chairs. Lovely shape, wood trim and such a pretty color. They also look like they would be reasonably comfortable in which to sit and enjoy a meal, a cup of coffee or a chat with a neighbor.

I love the dining room and kitchen, but the living room is just awful, in my opinion.
