Re: OXFORDSHIRE FARMHOUSE

[ Edited ]

I love to see how designers furnish homes and like to imagine what type of family lives there.  Most are stunning but I doubt they have kids running around. We look at these home and relate it to ourselves.  I know my decor has changed over the years to suit what worked best as the kids grew and I had a bunch of teenagers hanging out.  Now it's just me and things changed again.  It's so neat and tidy that sometimes I miss the chois.    

 

I try to just appreciate it for what it is and this one is just beautiful.  Thanks @Oznell for all your postings

@Oznell  I got the same feeling. First picture right away said this is haunted. I could not sleep there at all.

@mspatmac,  my pleasure!   My reaction to a lot of house images online is similar to yours--  I get a kick out of seeing how others decorate and live, especially if it's done well, even if it's not exactly to my taste (or circumstances).

 

@sissel,  how interesting!  I hadn't even exactly thought of it being actually haunted, more like crowded with 'history past', as it were.  The house certainly does have all the ingredients for a scary, "bump-in-the-night" movie, as you picked up on, as well as the similar place that @GingerPeach put up!

I love the wood thru out and the colors on the walls. The stone floors are beautiful. I would love to stay for a week or two.

The ("family room") I'm guessing is calming & comfy looking.

 

I totally dislike the dining room - very dark & awful style.

 

The kitchen .. love the blue cabinetry, but that's it.

 

Those "grid" type wood walls, too masculine.

 

The rest of the home - NOPE.

 

@Oznell, thank you for posting these pics.

Really like the outside, dining room, kitchen, stairway hall and last pic, but the other rooms have too many different colors for my taste.

I like most of it but would add warmth to the house if it were mine. The sitting room with the fireplace and the kitchen are my favorite rooms.

The exterior is beautiful.  The interior is, for the most part, not my style or what I like but most of it does like nice in the house.  If I owned the house, I'd just redo the whole thing (interior)

Great old place... Really like the kitchen and the green damask dining chairs. Some nice pieces but overall, the decor doesn't thrill me...
