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.

OP asked for our thoughts on something.

It's not 'bitchy' to say what we don't like about the house.

Well, that depends how it's said really. There are a good number of downright bitchy posts amongst the honest opinions.

“There are a good number of downright bitchy posts amongst the honest opinions.”

On a business. With product placement.

No, on a personal level.

It looks a bit cold and draughty.
And grey.

I can't see the garden, have the pictures been changed?

All that money and it's not even detached.

No wonder they are keen on telling us it's in Hampstead.

Grey? That is not my impression at all!

It’s very Pinterest-worthy!

That said, I like it a lot. I’d have my own house like that if I had oodles of dosh. I don’t like the bed much though.

This is grey...

Not even detached!? Maybe they should have gone for a detached new build - all brand new and zero character.

Thoughts...It's his house??!!

Maybe.

Their decoration would fit right in.

All the 'arty' bits.

This is the interior of a new build show house...

Ghastly but new and detached - and totally devoid of taste or character!

It's all down to opinion.

My opinion?

They made that fantastic house look like a glorified semi. It's twee and try hard.

But it's their home and their money and if they are happy then that's what matters.

You seem very invested in this, OP.

Invested? A Mumsnet fave. Lol

I simply love the style and the quirkiness of the interior. It is fabulous and is not down to having lots of money. Many footballers and film stars have lots too but most of their interiors are awful.

HTH

Do people really prefer that show house interior?

Perhaps you should write to JO and enthuse to him. OP.

"LOL"

"HTH"

Clearly invested in this house.

Wonder why.,

Have you ever heard of ‘personal opinion’ OP? Absolutely rude to say something is ghastly or awful because you don’t like it. The shocked face is beyond rude.

Oh rubbish!

I am totally uninterested in the lives of so called celebrities BUT I do like the pics of the house. So shoot me.
“HTH” and “LOL”

Lovely house, don't like what they've done to it.
Agree it looks cold, draughty and kitsch. For £8.9 million, I'd be very disappointed.

RoseWhiteTips Jools you seem far too overly invested in this, shooting down anyone who disagrees that it's not fabulous. Calm down. Different people, different tastes and all that.
