Weird, Pieter. Interesting that the post above has a link to the "visit to my neighbours."

I'm just going to post the website that has a few group trades each year. What's the worst Houzz can do? 😊it garden. Org. The group swaps are very different there but so much fun and you choose your seeds. It's free to join and a little intimidating at first. If anyone decides to join and has questions. I am I share flowers on that side as well and you can send me a tree now through there.

I enjoyed the video. I loved that she loved the design, and probably didn't give enough though to whether I liked the design (considering this thread is on a design website). There were elements I loved, and elements I loved individually but not in combination (like the burlwood and the mural you can see in the still for the video; I feel like they compete for attention in away that detracts from both). I really dislike the Cambria quartz pattern she has in her kitchen; something about the combination of over-the-top bold and super fake looking (relative to marble or any natural stone) just leaves me cold. Her pointing out the balloon on the ceiling amused me, and I enjoyed her storytelling in general. I really liked the laundry room, especially the artwork. I would probably never think to wallpaper a laundry room because of humidity, but papering everything was a nice effect.

Loved - her outfit, and that pagoda china closet with the wavy glass, TDF. Good to see she had two china closets in her home, as they are currently about as out of favor as armoires. They may get a new life yet. My fave part of the home was the entry, with the paneling, barrel ceiling and french door. Overall much to like here. I find the current popularity of chinoiserie instructive. The first time I saw chinoiserie was in my BFF’s grandmother’s apartment when I was a teen. A black secretary with gold embellishments. I thought it was so OTT and tacky. Today, my girls love all things chinoiserie. *Everything* goes out, and most *everything* comes back, too Disliked - way too long. Her style can be ,a bit formulaic. Handles on china cabs in DR are way too big -- they look like appliance pulls. Hermes blanket in a kids’ room? All of them say they decorate for kids but then they do things like that.
