is making my BP rise LOL.

In one of the last pics you catch a glimpse of the bookcase and even they are arranged in colour order. Don't think I could live with white painted floors either.

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.
My Sims houses look like that!

It's a bit theme-y, isn't it?

Arrrgghhh! My eyes! That wallpaper...my eyes!

Not my style at all.

And what is with that painted floor? I can understand liked, but that looked like an even painted floor. My kids and dog would give it a rustic look within a week.

Going against the grain, but I LOVE it!

It's really Martha Stewart/Cape Cod style, which I love.

I'll admit that if it wasn't your thing, it would be VERY overwhelming, though!!

I live in QLD so appreciate renovated QLDers. I love the house and the rooms plus the verandah!

I'm not digging the furniture and deco though.

People can't actually live there.

The books? Who would arrange their books like that?
And the painted floor - no one could actually walk on it could they?
And there is one (count it) one picture on the wall and it looks as though it is a print, of a bathroom, in the bathroom!
Who lives like that?

I call show home.

A friend of my sister used to 'style' houses and apartments for sale. They had a warehouse full of matchy furniture bedding etc. to use to make them look as though you could live in it - in a fantasy of clean lines and co-ordination.




Urgh... the books, the books really annoy me!

Same, the only rooms I don't like are the wallpapered ones. The others are all lovely.

I was going to say looks like a sims house too! Especially with all the tables with random decorative objects on top neatly lined up. Totes going to paint the floors white in my sims house now. tongue.gif

However, I LOVE the claw foot bath. wub.gif
