When your house is just too too tasteful

[Ginmonkeyagain]

What the hell is going on here? This is an absolute horror show of beige and bland tastefulness.

Pics 19, 22 and 23 show the children's books displayed too high for them to reach. In order to prevent children reading - probably books about colour and joy

I kept expecting the next slide to be Miss Havisham covered in cobwebs...

Saves them fixing the damp I suppose 🤣

@lookwhatyoudidthere yes I am familar with limewash - I grew up in a 16th century farmhouse, some of which still had the nold plaster with horse hair mixed in. This looks damp though. May be it has been done badly?

Beautiful, maybe a little over styled but this was a v strong trend.

It's ghastly, I can't for the want of trying see anything beyond all the dreary beige and similar colours or the needless, awful clutter. Tasteful, really? Everyone to their own.
Probably a nice house otherwise.

@Ginmonkeyagain Dude............I KNOW!

If you can imagine this in a warm coastal mediterranean setting it is absolutely fine.

On a cold day in early March in the UK it looks horrendous.

It also sits better in a much older style house (georgian stone) than in a trussed up confused exterior which somehow gives me sweet home Alabama vibes.

What happens if Otto really what’s s dinosaur raincoat or Persephone really wants sparkly rainbow wellies. Do they get hidden in one of the enormous baskets?!

That's just downright creepy.

I’ve got as far as page 3 and I can’t quite believe the bitchy, judgy comments on this thread - there can’t be 9 pages of it, surely?? You do all realise a real person actually lives there, right? And probably loves their home and is proud of how it looks? And that it’s been staged for photos?

WTF is the actual thought process involved in taking the time to post someone else’s house online just to instigate a pile-on and this load of smug cuntiness, OP?

@Cesarina So stop getting all cats bum mouth on behalf of a business that has gone out of their way to choose this aesthetic.

I am sure they can cope with a little gentle ribbing of their obvious pretensions

@EnjoythemoneyJane no one lives there. It's a holiday let.

The first word that sprang to my mind was 'joyless', swiftly followed by 'depressing'.

I love it. Looks very homely and cosy. I don't understand this new thing with putting a throw at right angles at the bottom of the bed though.

I think they do/did live there. If you look on Air BnB they rented the top rooms and have reviews talking about them being welcoming in ‘their home’.

I like natural colour schemes, but this is taking it to the next level, even the shoes are all beige 😂
It's very 'catalogue' but completely unrealistic for day to day life.

God that is grim, even the food in the pantry is beige.

It they dialled the line wash and hessian down by about 50% I'd love it. Agee it's a bit much - like a parody of a toast catalogue.

Only the peasant servants are allowed to use the hooks.

I am assuming it has been had been heavily styled/curated for the photos.

I know exactly the kind of instagram influencer that would live in a house like that.

I agree with a PP who said it looks like the Next catalogue-
just much much too try hard for me.

I don't think it would be relaxing to live there-I think it would be exhausting.

I hope the kids get to wear glittery wellies and tiaras etc behind the scenes...

edited for spelling

Imagine the number of spiders living in it! 😩🤣

Is the Next catalogue as depressing as that? It looks so cold and Dickensian.

Yes. L35 or L34 postcode. It was discussed on here very recently. A very decorated and loved home but not to everyone’s taste.

It was the random man climbing the stairs for me 🤷‍♀️
