Re: LOW-KEY ENGLISH CHRISTMAS

Oznell, I am surprised at myself but I found this quite lovely.

 

A bit plain yes, but calming and tranquil.

 

I don't mind the benches but can't get past the sofas.

 

The dog is a sweetheart and a delight.

 

Thank you!

Lovely and calming in its own way. I think the dining table looks very pretty.

I'm okay with the decor but not the location.  Seems so lonely.

I'm loving the Christmas Decor.  The rest of the house is FAR too vanilla for me and it needs a lot of help, IMHO, of course.

Re: LOW-KEY ENGLISH CHRISTMAS

So pretty, but that picnic table is a no go for me-too uncomfortable to sit in for any time...

 

I do like the minmalistic decor, although it is a bit too vanilla for my tastes. but it fits this setting, I think..

 

It is very far out with no one and nothing around-that would really take some getting used to for me anyways. I too always wonder where is the closest store, or pharmacy, etc...

 

I love Candles, so I love all of hers.....

Re: LOW-KEY ENGLISH CHRISTMAS

Am ok with such simplicity however I would throw in the red for accent. It is more of a winter theme to my eyes---need more color for xmas time. But not overdone as it is----not like someone vomitted xmas!!

What a stunning setting and house. Wow. Looks like a fairytale.

 

I love the simplicity and use of natural elements in her decor....so calming, relaxing and refreshing.

 

Standouts ( in no particular order) for me include:

*Big rustic chunky pottery

*Love that couch looks so comfy (I like form AND function...especially cozy function.

*That stone fireplace and oven surround is perfect

*The blonde wood furniture pieces, more the color than the furniture itself

*That dining room table centerpiece is beautiful

*That adorable dog, he looks like a stuffed animal....

 

One thing that does bother me is in the living room, that wall above the couch and the space above the fireplace is screaming out for something. 

I think I'd put a very big, maybe,rustic window pane mirror above the couch to give it some much needed architectural detail and to reflect the light from the windows across from it. I'd also place a mirror above the fireplace. This would still be in keeping with the simple, not too fussy decor.

I'm having fun here....Maybe a Mirror similar to this one on that wall above the couch:
