Agreed, @ECBG ,  was so struck by the way those vines wind around and gracefully bring the outdoors in-- it's such a pretty look.   Fresh even in the winter.  Also like the way those arched French doors are flanked by a "pillar" effect-- lends drama...

Re: A SCATTERING OF DIFFERENT ENGLISH HOMES

In the first set of photos I like the yellow cupboard, her living room, and TV room. I'm not a fan of the blue and white kitchen cabinets or the "fish scale" tiles. 

 

There are too many florals in the second set of photos. I don't like the blue room either. Her decorating style is definitely not the same as mine.

 

I like the space in the last set of photos, but there are too many competing colors and prints for me. It's interesting she painted over the white window frames. We recently replaced the 30 year old windows in our sunroom. The old windows had frames that matched the wood. Our new windows have white frames. I wasn't sure I would like the contrast, but the white frames really brighten up the space.

I LOVE the TV room, I could read, nap and watch TV all day in there.  Love it.  I also really like the conservatory space, but a little too much stuff.  I like the outside light in both rooms.

Re: A SCATTERING OF DIFFERENT ENGLISH HOMES

I used to watch 'Escape to the Country' TV series.  When it was available.

 

Lovely English interior and exterior homes and also gardens.

 

The show aired on either Fave TV or DABL TV stations/channels.

 

Thanks for the memories.......

@Oznell Such a great set of photos!  #9 is my fav.  I could not stand all the open shelving, especially in the kitchen.

 

I find these posts delightful.  Comfort, style and ease of maintenance are top considerations for me as I age.

 

Keep posting!  I always love to look at the different styles and wonder how I would change them to suit my life.
