Thoughts on Jamie Oliver’s house?!

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.

And that Mamas and Papas baby seat hanging over the edge of the table is giving me palpitations...

Smarmy bit too early for popcorn....I think the OP may be cleaning smoke marks off her kitchen wall following comments on here. Wink

I like it. I love the kitchen its like a fairytale book kitchen with all the colanders and pots hanging off the wall. I like olden day things like that. The house looks cozy and warm and inviting. Lovely.

So much stuff everywhere! The bed is hideous and they have too many of those stupid signs with love and home and other nonsense on them. The garden is gorgeous and I'd love a massive pantry like that. It's not to my taste but I'm sure JO doesn't give a shit, they obviously love it. Although his hair is utterly ridiculous, Jools needs to tell him to get a grip!

I don't mind the stuff but couldn't agree more about the bed. Truly I would not have that in my house if you paid me!

Chairmancow · 21/12/2017 16:51

I just find Jools to be incredibly smug to be honest. There is only one reason to post pics of your mansion and that is to be a big boasty pants. That in itself is vulgar and tasteless.
That said though the house is fucking amazing and I’m very envious! I think that’s the idea though isn’t it?

Oh, the kids have school uniforms! For some reason I thought they went to King Alfred's but it would seem not. Is that a Channing uniform for the big girls? Highgate for the little boy?

I like the house, I would live there in a shot. Bit far from a tube maybe but I don't suppose that bothers them much :)

I think it looks amazon that kitchen! What an antidote to the hard sleek modern kitchens we have I adore it! I would certainly tweak a few things here and there u, love the bed and that rug is gorgeous but the frill lamp by bed Hmm

Hate summer, I didn't read previous remarks yes, very very much a fair tale kitchen, the slipper and the rose Grin my favourite Christmas film
It looks like they have a good mix it traditional and modern.
