Though I do like the space, some of the pillows and the stools, the English Country vibe is sort of lacking for me in that first picture, thanks to the too modern looking chair and coffee table. Otherwise, there are some lovely rooms and elements here. I enjoy aspects of English Country and seem always to incorprate a few in most of my rooms, without adopting the overall look. Among other things, I very much like the toile bedroom and the 'poison' green paint color. The choice is very similar to the color in some of my major rooms.

Re: ENGLISH COTTAGE STYLE

[ Edited ]

I love it all except for the large print wallpaper in the 2nd picture.  Delicate pattern would be more pleasing to me.  This would be my summer cottage.  I would like sitting in the morning drinking my coffee looking out at the lake.  Tea would be in the afternoon.

@stevieb,  how neat that you have a similar green in some of your rooms.   I love that green--  it's rich without being too much, (to my eye), it's fresh but enveloping, and it seems that most objects look great with that color as a backdrop....

I'm not really a fan of printed wallpaper or some of the prints and items used in English cottage style, but I do like a few rooms. As always, thanks @Oznell for always posting such interesting threads in the Home Forum. 

My favorite rooms:

 

Looks very cozy and comfy

Very soothing and relaxing

I love the windows, greenery, & flowers! I don't mind the red paint and print tablecloth, but I'd prefer solid chair cushions.
