Re: ALABAMA CHRISTMAS LIVING ROOM

It appears to be a very nice house with some very high quality elements. I like much of it, but there's quite a bit I'd want to change. Don't care for the trim on the yellow curtains, the kitchen tile or the portrait over the fireplace in what appears to be the main room. Also, the beautiful windows in that room need some sort of covering. Not sold on all the furniture, textiles and rugs, but still, overall, a nicely done home.

Re: ALABAMA CHRISTMAS LIVING ROOM

The paint color combination in the parlor is nicely done with the light beige walls, white trim, and what looks like a pale blue ceiling.
 
The seasonal look is a bit unique with the regional touches in the holiday decorations, such as the magnolia leaves in the garlands and vases, the palm fronds tree topper, and what looks like golden Spanish moss draped over part of the Christmas tree.
 
Wondering why the ribbon-suspended pine cones in the last photo don't seem to have reflections in the gilt-framed mirror.

@Oznell ...............The nativity scene is the most realistic I have ever seen.  He was born and visited in a cave and not a stable & manger.  The manger nativity scenes are Hallmak induced.

Re: ALABAMA CHRISTMAS LIVING ROOM

Lovely home. I don't care for the print furniture with the print rug. One has to go and replace with a solid. I also would replace the drapes with a neutral color.

I love the kitchen and the parlor (minus the yellow drapes).

Re: ALABAMA CHRISTMAS LIVING ROOM

The architecture of this home is absolutely beautiful.  I'm not a fan of most of the furnishings and prints used though.  I love that kitchen (well, except for the print on those roman shades) but I need "some" upper cabinetry.  I think it helps to balance out the look of a kitchen.  My favorite thing is the nativity set.

Re: ALABAMA CHRISTMAS LIVING ROOM

Those windows in the first room are gorgeous! I like traditional furnishings and most of the accessories are ok. I don't care for the prints used on the chairs or the kitchen windows. I also don't like the palm fronds sticking out of the top of the Christmas tree.

Lovely,  house.  I especially like the huge windows filling the living room with a lot of light. The Nativity is very charming.

 

Thanks for sharing this house,
