It’s all much too much for my taste except maybe the kitchen which I don’t really like but at least it doesn’t make my head explode.

Such an interesting mix of styles! I love the ”Chinoiserie” room for its happiness, and the kitchen for its serenity. (not a fan of the layout, but just thinking about the decor). And the accessible bathroom. Kind of like nancyinmich’s bathroom, it’s beautiful and well-thought-out for a specific need.

I was taken with the ”family retreat”, The vibrant colors, and especially the gallery wall.

More photos here...looks like the skirted table isn't much...a solid with a border.

I do love the wallpapers...or at least some of them.

I think having deGournay sponsor a lot of these show houses forces a certain look.

Maybe I like the kitchen because it is a respite from all the wallpaper. The media room, I think I’d like when the lights go down to watch a movie, not so mich when the lights come up.

Thanks for the link to papercity, much better photos. The Veranda link showed the laundry room but talked about the wallpaper, which wasn’t in the photo. I’m glad papercity had it, it’s really cute and reminds me of the ’60s.

I love a wallpaper mural. When the Today Show folks were WFH, I loved seeing Al Roker’s dining room wallpaper mural.

I like the laundry room.

What I see in these rooms is a whole lot of interesting artwork.

But this "Her Study"? What am I missing here? What makes sense about this layout?

What is this?

Actually I think it's just a gold Mylar balloon

Much of it strikes me as very,very '80s. But mostly it is an inchoate mess.

I love showhouses, but always wonder how the family can actually LIVE in it afterward…it’s such a disparate mess! 😂 So of course I adore the exterior, the pool, and all the gardens and outside spaces bc that is completely my favorite style. Most of the rooms are way too much for me…but I liked the kitchen and family lounge (or whatever it is called-the one with the white walls and art. I also thought the child’s accesible bedroom and bath were beautiful and so thoughtfully designed.

The ”her study” looks like he was disappointed that that’s what he got. So he turned it into a storeroom for leftover bits while he really worked for a client who was actually paying him some bucks.

The outside grounds and gardens are lovely. The inside….well, i am searching for some nice words.

I don’t believe the owners want to keep guests around for very long, as the chairs in the public areas seem very uncomfortable. ‘Her Study’ doesnt look like a study at all, more like a place for a fainting spell.

Virginia’s sanctuary was very nice and thoughtfully executed. I hope it functions as well in person as it reads and as intended.

It was fun to see the photos, my favorite area of the home was the garden. Also appreciated the inclusion of Virginia’s sanctuary. Entertaining, but overall the designs did not resonate with me.

I'll wait in the gardens while you all tour the house, thank you.
