Thoughts on Jamie Oliver’s house?!

[RoseWhiteTips]

Now you can see Jamie's REAL kitchen! Jools Oliver sends fans into a frenzy with snaps of their VERY palatial £8.9M Grade II listed London home (including a £2K super king bed and a wood-fired oven)

I think it is gorgeous. The Daily Mail readership is divided, some believing that Jamie/Jools lack class, one even quoting the “You can take the boy out of Essex...” saying. I find the reaction baffling. It’s as if they do not appreciate style and good taste when they see it.
Or perhaps they are filled with envy? Who knows.

His hair caught my attention more than the house

Yes, photos please, hadto. We can't just take your word for it you know!

I thought it was awful and no, Im not jealous. My house is much nicer.

So Jooles rose do you not think everyone has their own version of what's lovely? You've chosen this house as your epitomy of style and good taste. Great. It's not everyone's cup of tea though. There's no right and wrong.

It’s ok, too cluttered

Bumble thing on the table makes me shudder a bit

His hair!

I love it! Confused why they would want pictures of it published though. Not judging, just seems a bit of an odd move for them.

Jools can spell

I love it, but like a PP, I am also an Essex girl so clearly a kindred spirit.

Or has someone just collected together Instagram pictures from Jools account and made it look like they have been 'released'.

chew me too - maybe thats it!!

How paradoxical. The lack of “clutter” is usually what makes a place cold.

You asked our thoughts.

I also think it looks a bit dark.

That’s it exactly. The juxtaposition of period features and very modern quirky touches works fantastically well.

Yep, I love it. It takes a lot of effort (and money) to make a house that grand & big look cosy & somewhere you have lived for years.

It looks like a real house. lived in.
the garden looks lovely

It looks too contrived in their efforts to not look contrived.

but i dont know why they'd not value their privacy a bit more from nosey herberts like me

Hasn't he fucked off yet? He threatened that if Leave won the EU Referendum he would emigrate. Wish he would hurry up.

Did he silvery? Could that explain the way the vote went?

Agree slightly Lindibop.

I try not to avoid his goings on. Last thing I remember is him saying breastfeeding was easy or some such.

Try to avoid that would be.

I think he's a twit for sharing that photo of the kid in the bath...

Obviously I wouldn't turn it down if offered! Especially since I live in a tiny house in the rough part of my town! But it just doesn't look to have a homely feel for me, which is a must.

It’s beautiful, I would love a house like that!

It's beautiful and looks lovely in a staged and professional shoot kind of way.

If you believe that they are 'natural' or ad hoc family snaps you must have come down with the last shower though . A pair of bright red wellies placed at an artful angle in front of a child's bed (wellies kept in the bedroom? Really?). A nursery that looks like it's from the 1940's and has never seen a child - have you seen the bits and bobs and nik naks on the tables - of a 16 month old?!?

Even Jamie's desk is clearly staged - look at the perfectly arty alternating angles of the books and such.

Lovely but not quite real life, even for them.
