Re: More Southern Holiday Home...

The bones of the house are so gorgeous.  It's just the decor that has a sort of 'contrived' look to it, including the overly-insistent color scheme, I think.  But that's easily removed, and what a spacious, light-filled interior!

Re: More Southern Holiday Home...

Structurally the house is beautiful.  Not a fan of the furniture, and there is way too much blue!  Additonally, the blue they have chosen is really more of a coastal blue.  Is this a coastal home?  If not, I really don't understand why they chose that shade.

Re: More Southern Holiday Home...

I like the pics of the front door and the kitchen (less so much blue).  I would like the dining room if it weren't for all the blue.  I like blue, but thing there is too much in this house.

The only thing I really like is the front door.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

I think it's beautiful. Not really comfy and cozy but it sure is pretty.

I want that front door. It would be perfect for us living on the Bay.

Re: More Southern Holiday Home...

All the blues are absolutely beautiful but that's just a color I wouldn't have as decor except for a bedroom or bathroom.  The house is well put together but this style is just not one that I care for, personally.

That front door is a big hit!  I love it too and I really like that marble top table, wish I could zoom in on that bottle and read the vintage, LOL!   It's a lovely home but like most I cannot understand the same color scheme throughout.  Blue, blue and more blue.

Re: More Southern Holiday Home...

Just as an FYI, this is a continuation of the 'Holiday Home Down South' residence, so the door featured is not the front door... The front door is this first one below... The pretty blue door probably goes to a guest house or a pool house. All I found are pictures without a lot of text about this house, so I don't know were it leads... Also, it was speculated that because of the extensive use of this shade of blue this might be a coastal home, but I don't know. It could well be, though the overall architecture doesn't read coastal to me...

@CANDLEQUEEN  Exactly my thoughts. It really is a gorgeous home in so many ways once one gets past all that blue !!
