Re: DREAMY, RUSTIC ITALIAN HOUSE

While I tend to appreciate most things Italian, in this case, I have to say that 'dreamy' is relative... Not really loving much about this one...

I like the house.  It's the decor -- with the exception of a few pieces -- that I really don't care for.

 

The things that caught my eye...

Some interesting choices throughout.

I love the outdoor space and the pool.  Nothing else really says dreamy to me.  Far too many archways and clustered rooms/decor.

Re: DREAMY, RUSTIC ITALIAN HOUSE

I think the architecture details of the interior are beautiful. I'm also loving the outdoor spaces and views.

To me, the decor just reads "stuff jammed into every available space" and when my eye does land on something, it's usually something that doesn't appeal to me.

I like the outdoors more than the inside.

@LTT1 ,  agreed, you hit it!  It's not for everyone, and not the accepted taste of the home forum generally, but I knew one or two would appreciate her style here.  Love how it's true to its European barn origins, in all the right ways, but still comfortable, with an artistic and well-traveled aesthetic.

 

Ha, ha, @just bee ---  Cat, dog, *ROCKS*, ruins .   You liked only a few choice things, but you get points ( as always) for being funny....

I like the arches but to me there are too many of them...one large arch in the living room area would be enough for me.

I also like the outdoor pool area but this house does not appeal to me. It looks cold and too much going on inside.

This was quite the project

 

No kitchen photos?  I was scrolling to get an eyefull on what she did with the kitchen.

 

There are a lot of chairs in that place.   

 

The interior layout confuses me a lot, but I like her style and adore that she used Italian versions of classic movie posters.  Clever and fun.

 

It's the outside that wow's me.    I almost don't care about the kitchen etc, as all I really want is the gravel yard and the POOL.

Absolutely loving the Exterior, the Arches and that amazing View! Heart

 

(Too much clutter on the inside for me)
