I like the crown molding. The decorating style is not me but I believe is perfect for the client's wishes.

There's not much I like in the first house, but it looks like the designer fulfilled her client's wishes. Some of the architectural details are nice. I like the library space but not the colors or furnishings used. 

I like the Greek key rug in the second set of photos. I also like the kitchen but not the light fixtures. The curved window and seating area is nice, as well as the built-ins in the living room.

@PINKdogWOOD ,   the Toronto house is vintage.  It's a Queen Anne Revival.  I wish they had shown the exterior, as it would probably be a treat to see-- they can be pretty ornate.

It was gratifying that they kept many of the original architectural elements too--  hearth, deep crown molding, ornate ceiling in living room, ceiling medallions, arched door frames with the "keystone" detail, and on and on.

As for decor--  it's eclectic, with a mix of modern, traditional, and some Art Deco and Art Deco-influenced elements.

It's not appealing to me at all.  Quite awful.  Someone should get their money back.

@Oznell   Call it what you will, there is nothing in this place that looks good, blends together in stule nor colors. Not my style, nothing I would have here. 

You will not talk me into any of it - to each her own as they say.

Oh, no, @PINKdogWOOD ,  I'd never presume to try to talk anyone into the things I enjoy about design. 

Responding to your comment about lack of any vintage, I just wanted to factually point out the vintage, and, non-vintage elements in this specific house.  

I don't think any of us who post pictures expect agreement on aspects of desigh.  For me, the fun is in generating interesting discussion, even very disparate views, which this one definitely did.

The house looks like a nice one and there are a few elements, a very few, I can admire, but overall, her aesthetic is not mine and her designs are, to me, a train wreck. The use of blue and white, the blue patterned rug and the turquoise table being used as a nightstand all appeal, most of the rest of it borders on being cringe worthy.

Ms. Heron certainly has an eye for pleasing interiors.  The fireplace surround in the first house was beautiful as many of the other areas were.  I just didn't care for the airplace print.

All of the other areas were so visually rich!

To me it is an awful, tasteless mish-mash.  It looks like someone went through a design store room and just said "Clear it out and give it to me."  

Perhaps someone who was not feeling up to par that day.  Haven't you had days like that?  Just get it done, and a week later said "Good grief what have I done?"

Then tried to sell the idea .  .  .

I like the Kitchen but would replace the light fixtures.
