Went too fast for any of the details to really sink in.
I love almost everything about this home, and Lewis Miller is so charming. The thing I did not like is the kitchen. While lovely, it seems too dark to me without enough counter space to really prep/cook. There are too many items on the counters. However, he did say that he isn't the one doing the cooking, so maybe it works for him. Thanks for sharing Gizmo.
Okay, so I pretty much like everything in this house. The typical floral designer makes in the 70Ks toward the top end, the typical event designer $100K
The light fixtures in this guys kitchen list for $3966 each and I see three. This is not his only house. He has a place in NYC and I think he mentioned another place "up north".
I know that we generally want to see exceptional stuff. But these shows are starting to sound like the old House Hunters joke about "I breed hamsters". "I am a stay at home mom, and I make custom tea cozies" "Our budget is $2M, cash"
Patterns like that, however pretty they may be, make me dizzy. I discovered this after I wallpapered a feature wall in my bedroom in San Francisco with antique wallpaper in 1977. By this time I was getting weary of Victorian architecture as well.
This room reminds me of Laura Ashley from the 1990s, which I guess is considered retro by now. I liked that sort of style when I was a small child.
I like the sofa very much, and it reminds me of a sofa design that my boss did in 2014 that we unfortunately never produced. Her design did not have tufting, but it did have loose upholstery to the floor, and she called it the "Draped Slip Cover" Sofa. We did manufacture an almost identical coffee table, however, with a lacquered linen wrap finish.
I have a few pieces of floral fabric, very similar to what is on the chair and pillow, in my collection that I have not used yet.
The table, the mashup chandelier, and the Scalamandre Le Tigre all keep it from being too retro.
I am planning on using chintz in my new sunroom, so I guess that is a nod to the Grandma Chic look too.
Pictures of the room would be very helpful
Do I need to be on a computer? I can’t find it on the app.
Hmm - maybe. I don’t use app I’m on iPad. Houzz navigation is pretty quirky & wonky & you’ll encounter different issues or changes often. I’ve read there is less functionality on app & on a phone.
If you’re signed in you might be able to see your posts in the list that comes up under the topics you’ve selected. If you select it & view from that page, Houzz might recognize you from sign in & show you the added functions to edit & delete your own posts. Going in the way I first described is the way to see all your activity - posts & comments on others posts.
Old English Scratch Cover in the Dark shade should cover those scratches right up!
