Colorful Vignettes...

All the work of designer Matthew Monroe Bee, recently featured in an item in Southern Home... As always, there are things I'd change but I enjoy his colorful but traditional style...

Not quite a highboy but I like the tall chest of drawers and adore the French style chair in blue and white toile. I'd replace the art and can take or leave the ikat covered chair... Personally, I think ikat's fifteen minutes should be about up...

Pretty dining room vignette, though I have no idea what that is on the wall. Whatever it is, it needs to come down...

A breakfast room and while I like most of the elements, the bright yellow would not be my choice...

Some fine traditional pieces in the sitting area...

A bar and book area...

The rest of the sitting area... I'd choose different window treatments...

In my pantry with my cupcakes...

If I was assigned to live in hell for eternity, this is what it would look like for me. Cluttered, fussy, and boring.

If you love it, I guess it's heaven for you.

Truthfully, I'm not a fan of any of these rooms. I don't care for the traditional style nor the cluttered look of the decor items. I don't know what's on the wall either in #2 but it's not nearly as offensive as the wallpaper, IMHO, of course.

Too stiff and formal; not for the "real" world and definitely not my cup of tea. However I do like that turquoise and coral chair in the first pic.

Yes, I do like some of the pieces displayed & color combos. Unfortunately, my home has the same problem with editing as I have to many knick knacks and over crowded rooms of things& pieces of furniture I have collected .
