Re: MOTHER AND DAUGHTER LIVING ROOMS

[ Edited ]

I don't think I like anything about any of the rooms.  JMO.   for me the home is way too cluttered, doesn't flow freely, and seems dated.  It's way too cutesy in some places for me.  Especially this lamps, PU Marta , lol. Of course your lookin at someone  who still has wallpaper in downstairs bath from 1993.  lol

 

it is interesting though. I love to see what others find comfy and appeasing to them. We all are so different.  I used to be all into decorating, but time has put that on back burner.  I'm more concerned now with getting to one room or another.  It's on my list to redo a few things, it's just finding contractors. Oh, I get PTSD just thinking about dealing with them. I am recouping from bedroom remodel 4 years ago

Re: MOTHER AND DAUGHTER LIVING ROOMS

@Oznell thank you for your very enjoyable post.

 

I like elements of each. I love Coco's secretary and her chairs. If the walls were painted the same shade as Katie's ceiling, it would be perfect.

 

Love Katie's entryway the scones and table lamps are lovely. And oh, that sink!

 

My mother was very artistic and decorated the large yet warm house I grew up in beautifully. She had style, marvelous taste and a very discerning eye. Sadly, I inherited none of those qualities and although our taste often differed, we shared a love of Beleek  and pretty, flowered dishes as well as a devoted love for each other. Heart

Re: MOTHER AND DAUGHTER LIVING ROOMS

I appreciate your photos and descriptions of each home. As I get older I want things more simpler and less cluttered. I find each of the houses dated and cluttered and the colors and wallpaper are not my style. I don't care for either one of them.

Re: MOTHER AND DAUGHTER LIVING ROOMS

@Tinkrbl44 That color in the mom's living room is sort of the red/pink/coral color I was talking with you about yesterday I think it was!

 

BUT it would have more pink and coral in the mix, and be one of those warm colors that just seems alive and velvety if that makes sense for a color!  Woman FrustratedWoman Happy

Re: MOTHER AND DAUGHTER LIVING ROOMS

@Oznell  I love the mom's style much better. So elegant and classy. Love the pink walls. My living room walls are close to that shade of pink too.

 

I don't like the daughter's style. Too weird and contrived for me and that's saying something because I like weird. LOLWoman LOL Her sweater is jarring. What was she thinking wearing it to showcase her home??

 

Thanks for the post. @Oznell

Re: MOTHER AND DAUGHTER LIVING ROOMS

 

Why would anyone think Coco's daughter should decorate like her mom?

 

No one mentioned .... I'd bet these two women entertain a fair amount ..... and the guests aren't the same people.

 

That will usually factor in to any design choices.

Re: MOTHER AND DAUGHTER LIVING ROOMS

Mom installed white shag carpet in my bedroom before I was out of the driveway to college.  Then it was white and hot pink and orange sheer curtain panels over my beloved chocolate brown wide-slat blinds.

 

She had a very colorful house, pattern, new pieces and old pieces faux finished by us.  More was always more with mother.  More family and friends, more cookouts and dinners, more cakes and pies, more animals and fish of mine, etc.  

 

My mother was not afraid of anything or anybody except her mean mother.

Re: MOTHER AND DAUGHTER LIVING ROOMS

They have very similar taste.  They each decorate with the same eye but they shop at different places.

 

The mother's is much more warm and inviting and the daughter's is more today and now.  However, they have very similar taste.

Re: MOTHER AND DAUGHTER LIVING ROOMS

I like Mom's the best.  I like when people are not afraid of color and to use it in their homes.

 

Daughter uses splashes of color which is better than none.

 

Their decor are different mostly, but also similar.  A mixture of sorts.
