This place is huge, love the outside, however it's a real shame they didn't spend MONY on the landscaping. Can we say BORING????

 

I'm lusting over the stove/range/oven unit. That's it.

Very appealing...I am not a Wallpaper lover but it works here and I like it.

Beautiful serene looking home.

As I have mentioned before I have a THING for a pretty laundry room..and love this one!

Lovely and very grand---I often wondering how people live in such a huge place----and then I wonder--how in the world would I clean it all--would take alot of work and alot of hands-----but fun to look at.

An impressive, if a bit bland, traditional. Agree that the landscaping needs an upgrade and the decor, to me, misses the mark with just a few exceptions. This home could've been a real beauty.

I  agree about the flow of the house but dislike the rather bland bedroom; there are other mellow, calm colors that could step into the floor.

 

The mural is beautiful; I would have it in a more prominent place to be enjoyed.

I confess.  I'm a s_cker for these windows and a paint color called Pigeon.

She's a beauty.

Things I particularly like.

 

*The use of different trim color throughout the house. I've seen this done before and never really liked it because it seemed to break the flow of the house. So I always stick with one color trim (white). But in this house they used white, dark green (in office), blue grey (in dining rm) and it works beautifully. I really love it.

 

*The wallpaper in the dining rm and the mural paper in the office, lovely. I love bits of wallpaper so much, it can add such warmth and personality. 

 

*The dark color (black?) on the wall underneath the laundry room cabinets and black shade on the sconce. They speak to the black sorta not necessarily pretty/utilitarian washing machine and dryer lids and makes them a part of the design and make sense.  

 

*I do love the darker bedroom color but I like dark, moody, cocoony

 

*Changing color in the living rm, pretty color in all lights.

It's crazy how much a color can change depending on different conditions.

 

Fun! Thanks and I do hope your knee feels better soon!

It's a beautiful house. When we were redoing our kitchen in a previous home, I wanted a  lengthy island installed. The contractor brought in a big cIardboard box the same length and width of what I wanted and he told me to live with it for a few days....so glad he did that! I found myself walking myself to death since everything I needed was on the other side of the "island". Wise advice from the contractor. I cut down the size of the island and so glad I did. 
Love the colors in this house; they work together very well. The only thing I don't like are the dining room chairs. The backs are too short; look like children's chairs to me.

Hey, I appreciate your well-wishes, @QVCisFun , and @GingerHead !

 

@Trailrun23 ,  that was clever of him to demonstrate to you what a loooooong island would be like to live with!   That's my reservation too;  when it's that long, I feel cut off, and don't like having to take the long, scenic route around the end to get to the other side...
