Too busy for my taste, too many things on the tables etc.  I love the outdoor decor.

I love all of the light fixtures in the living room; gorgeous! The wall of French doors is terrific. I like the green walls okay and I like the the blue pieces, but I don't like them together. Blue and green can be beautiful together, I know, so maybe it's just something about the shades that don't work for me. I'm also not crazy about the rug with the wall color. I think the mantle is very pretty and I love that she kept it wood rather than paint it. That really is a clever trick with the window treatments! I love the little chest vignette in front of the window; so lovely.

I like her kitchen and her outdoor spaces.  Wish they were mine!

@We rescue cats, oh yeah to the biscuit jars.  Love little collections like that that reveal the owner's interests, and are functional too....

 

Ditto to everything you said, @spiderw .

 

@CarolinaGirl88 ,  there is that old adage, "Blue-and-green, should never be seen!"   It might indeed be the particular shade ( esp. of the green) that is putting you off, since you normally don't mind the combo.

 

As is often the case, I diverge from consensus Home Forum opinion.  I enjoy the green in the living room, bringing the freshness of the outside in, to a quite traditional space.  Find it lively.  It's ever so slightly more saturated and intense than I like-- I like color, but it must be soft.  But, what the hay.  Her living room has so much personal dash, traditional style and coziness, that it's the overall feeling that hits me.

 

The burlap walls in her entry are a little too "warm" in tone for me, yet their texture and the overall charm of the room pull me along....

 

Her yard just bowled me over--  in the last two images, it seemed almost to sparkle, with an almost preternatural brightness.

 

One of my favorites, of all the recent traditional houses I've seen.
