[Love my grandkids]

@Oznell Oh please don't get me wrong. I always always enjoy seeing the photos you post. They are all interesting to me, whether or not they are to my taste!!

I enjoy seeing all the different rooms and houses that you and others post. I'm just very definite about what I like when it comes to home decor!

I could try out the kitchen in photo# 7 with hammered gold cabinets and white marble .

I could relax in  Master bedroom photo # 8 

The photo# 10  with the stars and  Bohemian look with the girls photo on the wall  who  has a strange eyed look,  Well, this  photo reminds me of that Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt movie  called Interview with a Vampire  when Kirstin Dunst played the child vampire .

Oh my, more neutrals... There are a couple of rooms here I like and a number of elements I can appreciate. Like others, one I'm fond of is the cabin. It always goes without saying we should all post what we choose to post. The world of home design is a big, wide wonderful one with room for everything from the proverbial soup to nuts. That said, I am so over a steady diet of overall neutrals right now, especially as conjoined with rooms that are essentially modern-transitional in nature. I just can't get really serious about them at this point. Maybe I will again somewhere down the road...

Nice photos! I love both bedrooms.  I also really like the cabin, but as a second home or vacation home.

This thread brought out such interesting responses, some of the best!!  By the way, @Love my grandkids ,  no offense taken at all--  I did want to explain my "rationale" for swinging a bit hard toward neutrals, and your post helped me bring that out.  My brain right now is interpreting neutrals as "soothing",  and that's what I seem to be most interested in posting, at least a lot of the time.... 

@1Snickers,  am very struck by your rooms, they sound fabulous and like they reflect your tastes perfectly.

Your list of soft colors, @Nonametoday ,  could be mine as well. I share so much of your aesthetic.  I loved your comment about the "gray horizons of Soviet Russia",  ha.

A navy focal wall would be so striking, @spiderw ,  I bet it was quite liveable.  If I had enough rooms in this house to experiment with, I'd try a deep color, like maybe a whole room in navy, maybe a study.  I can see walls and bookcases in that midnight shade, seagrass rug, white slipcovered easy chairs, and bright brass accents, maybe a starburst mirror....

@Oznell  I liked several of these. Both bedrooms appealed to me. I also loved the cream couch (cabin picture) that had some brown colors mixed in with the colored pillows. I did that same thing on my couch this winter only my throw and one of the pillows are kind of a burgundy brown. My burnt orange pillows have a hint of that color in them. It's  my best look on that couch yet, especially with our wood ceiling. I may just keep this look year round! I am finding that I like "warm" more than I thought .  

I don't dare forget the kitchen. Love everything about that kitchen!

My favorite is the cabin. 

I love a neutral room..you can brighten it up with throw pillows in colors or Holiday pillows, plants, other decor. Start with a neutral base and go from there. 

I never decorate with bright base colors in furniture, walls, rugs, or drapes...always neutral.

I like some of them more than others but, overall, I'd probably pass on them all.  The cabin is probably my favorite but, of course, would have to make some changes. 

Personally, I thought the kitchen was bizarre.  For starters, I've never seen the hammered brass cabinets before and the verdict is still out on them but I've leaning towards a "NO".  I also don't care for the Warn/Cold contrast.  I think they're competing against each other and the competition is starting to turn ugly.  I've seen this done on home reno/decorating shows before and I've never been a fan of the concept. I'm sure I've seen a few exceptions but can't think of any at the moment.  I do love the clean lines and minimalist nature of it though.

Thanks @Oznell  for posting these and thanks to the others who do as well.  I'm always interested in home decor and find this enjoyable.

None of them are appealing to me.

My favorites: I like the greens with the neutrals. The artwork has to go. 

I am not a cabin girl, but I really like this one! Love the pops of color. 

I could add a few colorful accessories & like this. The animal rug must go. 

Nicely done, but I need a few pops of color.
