Oh, James and Stuart...?
Now, this is the kind of house I would like to have. Yes, I love apartments, but I have not ruled out completely maybe having a house? When I grow up, I may consider getting one. I know it's a lot of work, but by then I may be in a headspace that would allow me to McGyver my way around it.
And turning a blank canvas into something as beautiful as this is the kind of transformation I live for. I love the sense of joy the colors bring to the space, too. I also like that the house seems to be so much fun. And I want that bathtub. Now, on to the frivolous part: I covet both James and his backyard for myself. And no, that's not a metaphor...
XOXO
45 minutes long was way too much time, I did skip through it, and some of it seems nice.
ReplyDeleteIt is a little long.
DeleteI enjoyed the whole thing, though. It's a nice house (and garden).
XOXO
Big says,
ReplyDeleteAt first it seemed too dark for me, but then is grew on me and seemed to lighten up. Maybe it was the lighting the film crew used. I agree with you on that tub! What a great idea which enabled him to keep the vintage piece. This is going to sound a bit weird...but it's the garden that felt too crowded. LOL.
XOXO
I think it may have been the lighting because it seemed airy in parts.
DeleteAnd that TUB!! And I don't even take baths!
I loved that garden, though...
XOXO
I hope you don’t mind that I scanned through it. 45 minutes was too much for me. Looks beautiful. Whenever we’ve had a grand house, we would see a grand apartment and think, “Oh wouldn’t that be nice.” Whenever we’ve had a grand apartment, we’d see a grand house and say “Oh, wouldn’t THAT be nice.” We’ve had enough houses to not seriously want that anymore, although I still fantasize.
ReplyDeleteI know just how you feel Mitchell. Having been in two homes and apartments, I by far love being in an apartment with a nice layout more So much less work, and more time for me to do other things.
DeleteI would like a medium size house.
DeleteWhat they call a 'starter house'. I just can't with MacMansions, really. And I've lived in apartments for YEARS so there's that...
XOXO
I loved the master bedroom and the courtyard the most. Adored the kitchen. Buy that shade of green in the living room and hall was horrid....as was that kitchen wallpaper!!!!! And in these tours...why do they show the clothes in the closet? It has nothing to do with the house. O could visit...but not live there.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. That kitchen! And I don't even cook!
DeleteI think the bedroom is super cool, too. And that green is not.. too bad?
XOXO
Too bad?!?!? I wanted to take an ice pic to my eye balls!
DeleteInteresting green. I can't... it's too much. As is that weird orange/red. Maybe '70s flashbacks? Lovely house. Not a fan of how it's decorated. It's too stagnant. Take that Aldous Huxle area. The poster isn't in great or poor enough condition to warrant that framing. It looks a bit cheap and the things below simply hang there. I dunno. Little altars everywhere? Not my thing. The garden overpowers the space, which is at a premium given the location. Still. Nice to see gays and their things. Wish I could be more generous, but its not in my nature with things like this. Still, I'd never say it to their face... and who knows... maybe in person it all feels precious. I do like some of the vintage furnishings. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteI think they were doing a little seventies touch, TBH.
DeleteI did like the artwork, though... and the groupings I liked. You'll see when I manage to take pics of my place that I basically do the same LOL.
And I loved the gardens. Really.
XOXO
I like the quaintness of it all, and the gardens; it's very peaceful. I love the kitchen tile for a pop of color.
ReplyDeleteAnd any guy with an English accent sells me on whatever he's saying!
xoxo
I know, right?
DeleteIt's that kind of peace that you feel when they show you. the place? And an English accent? *swoon*
XOXO
