@Oznell this is one of my favorite postings of yours.

 

I was fortunate to travel for many years when I was working. New Orleans was my favorite spot; I fell in love with it, and the charming people.

 

The stonework is amazing. I could drink it in for hours.

 

I love all the chandeliers in the home! And yes, I like the candles.

 

The secretary is stunning...

 

The pavilion is comfortable, inviting luxury.

 

The only misstep is the TV!!! But no one's perfect Smiley Happy

I purchased these candle sticks from Valerie about a month ago.  The style of these candle sticks is similar to those shown in some of the pictures.... nice and oversized!

I absolutely love the outdoor pavilion area! That's my favorite space. I also like the library with built-ins. The small wooden cabinet and the larger hutch/desk are nice in other rooms. 

 

I don't like the mix of colors in the family room, the style of furniture in the living room, and the gold accessories.

I love this.  I even like the parts I would consider too formal because the lived-in look softens the formality.

Love the home, itself. The rock, wood, beams and all the organic features, including the outside space, where I could linger for a while.

 

While I would keep some of the furnishings, much leans too formal for my taste.  Far too much gold for me.

 

But it's a wonderful combination of organic features, mixed with those more luxurious. It's beautifully done.

Delete the nonsensical stuff then I'd love it all.  Some settings are pure delight.

@Oznell  I love this house with all the stone , wood and brick

features. The furnishings, colors and decor are beautiful. I do love antiques.

 

  Like you, I do not like a TV above the fireplace in a family room, it doesn't bother me so much in the outdoor space.

 

  One piece of furniture that I do not care for is the coffee table in

the living room. It looks a little too modern for the furnishings in the room.
