I love the house itself. Her style is happy. A little too much for me in each room but I am also far from a sterile minimalist.

Love the kitchen. I don’t understand people with huge kitchens and nothing on the counters.

I think I would like it if a LOT of the stuff was removed.

I do not know anyone that has had Butcher Block counters. I assume they get scratched and you just live with it. I think that would drive me crazy.

Definitely not for me.

@bikerbabe   I don't have much on the counters either. I like to look at clean, shiny clear counters.  Lol!  I have a small, antique bubble gum machine on a far end, then in cooking area of kitchen I have a SMEG coffee maker, and in a corner a deep red stand KitchenAid mixer.  I am 78, don't cook, bake like I used to.  We keep pressure cooker, slow cookers, big air fryer in garage pantry. The other stuff like blender, toasters are in kitchen pantry. Works good for us.

I like it. The house seems bigger inside than it appears from the outside. You're right that she has a lot of stuff, but it's organized in a way that doesn't make me uncomfortable.

I have always been a maxamallist , an antique lover, a person who enjoyed going to thrift stores, antique stores, all types of stores with retro items.  I can appreciate this home and the decor throughout, the art work , furnishings.  However, now I am working my way toward being a minimalist and trying to down size. .  My taste hasn't changed, but now I am faced with so many things that must go!!!!

Bingo, @shoekitty !  I also had the feeling of a charming antique shop, and also the conviction that while I loved to look at her treasures, they would be too much to personally live with.  I do like that she knows what she likes.

@spiderw ,  true, shedding some of the excess is sometimes necessary, rats!

@Oznell   Absolutely charming....the house and the homeowner.

The only thing I would struggle with are the low ceilings because the home is so old. She has a wonderful and creative sense of style. Lovely!

Sure it's overstuffed and there are definitely things I'd change, but I like the overall vibe of this one, inside and out.

It could be really nice, and there are bits and pieces that I like, but it is visual overload-too much in each space..
