This is a bit of a change of pace, since it strikes me as a little more formal. It represents the fusion of styles of a design editor and her relatively recent husband. The house was his originally.
Although very pretty, it isn't 'quite' my style. What I so enjoy about it though, is the confident use of color. Yay. It's rather difficult to find recently styled interiors that aren't stark, almost blinding white. (And I've always liked white, just not as the CONSTANT default color everywhere! I exaggerate, but...)
This looks comfy. Blue is so complementary to mellow old wood and gilt picture frames. I'd like the blue a bit lighter though.
Again, a little formal for me, but handsome. This dining room reminds me of a room that Sean Connery would have in his fabulous "hunt country" house in Maryland in Hitchcock's "Marnie":

Her office is located in the house's turret!
As much as I like white marble bathrooms, I don't like this little "platform" treatment on top of the wood floor. In a full bathroom like this, I prefer just a simple marble or tile floor. The small platform under the tub just looks kind of 'cutesy' and skimpy to me... And a tripping hazard-- I'm klutzy.
This snug little guest room corner is my favorite. I don't know, it just looks cozy to me, with that rich, brown suede-ey looking headboard, lovely paintings, and luxe bedding...
Romantic garden, sigh...
Nice place to loll!

Nothing about it appeals to me.

It's a beautiful home, but not my taste.

Very charming and formal American!

A beautiful home. Don't care for the decor but the gardens are beutiful.

Lovely and it works for me...would lighten the walls though, and do not like the marble platform in the gorgeous white bath....

@Oznell This home is quite pretty. I've been done with the upholstered piece instead of a coffee table. It's been done and gone.
Also, the blue bedroom doesn't do a thing for me and I wouldn't chose it in any hotel setting. I don't care for the museum lights in the dining room.

I like the architectural detail, the dark woodwork, doors, not so much her decorating except the formal dining room.
Victorian is one of my least favorite styles, but this one is rather restrained compared to some I have seen.

At this point in staying at home , I'd love a week at a bed and breakfast or this estate just for a change in venue. My home is super cozy but not being able to go anywhere and not visiting family/friends has become very tiresome. For me , this is the new norm till a vaccine comes out so I am really enjoying these photos .

A great house and I really like the living room. Otherwise, some nice elements throughout, but that's as far as I'd go. Agree on the silly marble pedestal to gain access to the tub.
