For kicks, I wanted to share this colorful and totally over the top English
home. I can't say that I could live in a place like this home but I certainly
would stay in a place like this as a guest or an upscale bed and breakfast.
The decor really makes me feel as if I'm in a different era.
It's like a home that belongs in a book or novel.
It has that feel and ambiance to it.
Antique furnishings paired with a super saturated Yellow.
Old paintings, vintage blankets and lamps...
Plates, vases and chests...One can tell the owner of this home is
definitely a collector. It's definitely one way to showcase everything -
cover the entire wall with collections.
Take a look at the huge arrow above the bed. If anything,
the owners are very consistent in their style and taste.
And the grand finale. This room totally looks like it comes from another
time and era. I would love visiting a room like this. I can imagine for kids,
they would be exploring all the things in the room. The floor is nearly
entirely covered with rugs of all sizes - it's really incredible. It really
transports one to another sort of reality - feels like a room from the past
and it looks like it's a room filled with history. I can't say that I'd live in a
place like this but it certainly sparks the imagination which is something
I love about it and the reason I wanted to share it.
A penny for your thoughts on this place?

My thoughts? I couldn't get past fervent relief than it's not mine to dust...
I could so live there...beautiful! have always enjoyed such places, and looking at them takes me away!
Love this!! Especially the last one. I could definitely live there if I would have help cleaning and dusting the place.
Isn't it Fun? Thanks for all of your thoughts!
Truly the art of layering exists in English style like this!
Love it!

Love every fascinating inch! What a marvellous place to hear all of the stories that must accompany such wonderful items -- think of the parties! They MUST be interesting people -- and simply live in their own True-to-Themselves style!

Great pics of a great place!
Yikes! I agree, I could never live there!
They must have moved from a very large home and down-scaled.

Love the framed dishes!
I so agree with you, I would love to spend a week end in any of the bedrooms, especially the third one.....the last living room...I am not so sure, i would be worried that a ghost would be waiting somewhere in a corner...
I love all of these rooms! Oh, those beds!!! Sigh :)
Too much for me too - but fab for a weekend! Great blog.

What I want to know is who lives there?? Is this a woman decorating a home or a man decorating a B&B...the mystery deepens:)

Lovely
Good grief, I don't think I could last 10 minutes in the last place without trying to tidy things away! That said, it's a fantastic design - one of those "great to visit" places? I ADORE the arrow though, I'd like to get my boyfriend one to put above his fireplace...any ideas where they can be bought?
I personally love how the room looks like it came from another time and era.
