This house was going ok until the downstairs toilet photo. They look too beady-eyed.

I love it!

BogglesGoggles · 30/07/2019 16:48

Wow, that was really unexpected.

Disfordarkchocolate · 30/07/2019 16:49

That's lovely. The only things I'd need to change is the green behind the cooker. I like a cheerful house (sitting in the very green living room and planning more colour).

ToftheB · 30/07/2019 16:50

I love it!

Marylou2 · 30/07/2019 16:55

Not my taste but I kind of love it. If you're going to go crazy the looks the place to do it 😀

Nooo! Are you all bonkers? Definitely claustrophobia inducing.

I always thought it was normal for downstairs toilets to have crazy wallpaper?

It’s not to my exact taste but I much prefer colour & personality as opposed to identikit grey (the new magnolia) walls. Plus most decor is easily changed.

I love bold wallpaper in the downstairs loo Grin

BlossomCat · 30/07/2019 17:24

Ooh! I went to a cocktail bar in New York city, that had the same wallpaper in the ladies loo.
I loved it, not overwhelming at all!

AlbertWinestein · 30/07/2019 17:27

BlossomCat, I’ve been in that loo! I kind of love the whole house, except for the room with the dog wallpaper which is weird as DD used to have that exact wallpaper in her bedroom.

Snooks1971 · 30/07/2019 17:31

This is outing but we’ve had that same flamingo wallpaper on our landing for the last 3-4 years and have just changed it to something completely different. Most people seemed to love it (or so they said!)
A gas engineer once came to service the boiler and fell in love with it.

Snooks have you been equally bold this time round?

Absolutely love it. snooks im having that one in my hallway Grin

fancynancyclancy · 30/07/2019 18:13

LOve that jungle paper.

peachgreen · 30/07/2019 18:15

I love that house. Not all to my exact taste but it's been well done and has personality. And thank fuck it's not crushed grey velvet and mirrored cabinets.

Trickyteens · 30/07/2019 23:49

I like the whitish pink bedroom. Anyone recognise the colour?

AcrossthePond55 · 30/07/2019 23:58

I could live with the flamingos. But not the Incredible Hulk wallpaper that's in one of the bedrooms!

Or the green backsplash.

IamAporcupine · 31/07/2019 00:08

I love the house and almost all the deco (except the green behind the cooker)

But what I could not leave with is the stretched map - Alaska is in the wrong place! Grin

Ohyesiam · 31/07/2019 00:14

Oppressively low ceilings in dark colours. It would be like being in a coffin.

AndWhatNext · 31/07/2019 00:24

Not keen on the TV room, looks really boring and the photo makes it look really oppressive.

Namaste6 · 31/07/2019 02:54

The house definitely has 'something'. Could do a lot with that. The bath is fab! Pity about the toilet seat and bathroom tiles though. A PP mentioned 'oppressive' - I know what you mean. Rooms with too much going on around the periphery with large spaces in the centre are oppressive.

Monty27 · 31/07/2019 03:51

I don't like it. It's definitely lacking light and airiness. It probably wouldn't take a great deal to change it.
