Oh, Adler & Doonan...?
Ok, so now that we're starting Fall (and it's going to start getting chilly) I thought it would be fun to look at a house that's all color and sun and light. It's also a combination of the taste and personalities of two people and the way they see the world (and their world) and how -again- appearances are deceiving.
I enjoy the 'glowy vibe' the whole house has. I think they achieved that with the use of color and the artwork (the flea market finds and the furniture are fab, btw). There's a certain symmetry that's not made obvious immediately because of the use of interesting objects and light, but if you squint a little, you find that there's something really 'conventional' in the unusual placement of things and the use of color.
What I find most fascinating is that two people that seem so different (they talk about their first date, thirty years ago!) can make a house so finely attuned to who they are and so descriptive of how being creative is so uncontrollably fun.
Also, Foxy!
Congrats, Simon and Jonathan!
XOXO
P.S. Congrats to Bob and Carlos, also. You wild kids, you...
You are OTP.
I also never say no to a high-low moment ...
ReplyDeleteI love the colors except for the Tiffany Blue ... I loathe color, but that's just me.
I love, however, the bold dark kitchen!
And it does fit Florida

ReplyDeleteOddly enough, I don't mind the color, though the kitchen is a a teensy too dark. The front of the house is really well done - the porch, the landscaping. The rear yard isn't as inspiring. And I'll say that my experience in England was that their yards are very well manicured.
XOXO
P.S. Adler is quite impressed with himself, isn't he? LOL
I love the color, hate the clutter.
ReplyDeleteI did watch both seasons of Merli, I'd have emailed you what I thought, but don't have your address. So: season one was great. Season 2 fell apart mostly because of the writing. The HIV story line left the writers with a number of supporting characters they didn't know what to do with, and so they ended up with bland, forgettable storylines. Rai just put in appearances until he suddenly decided to leave for India. Major characters from the first series and season one simply disappeared. And I think the song Pol sings at the end should have been https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvWRMAU6V-c 😎😎😎
