I like the house, but OCD decorating...

is making my BP rise LOL. In one of the last pics you catch a glimpse of the bookcase and even they are arranged in colour order. Don't think I could live with white painted floors either. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-hous...+hill-111965959

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.
My Sims houses look like that! It's a bit theme-y, isn't it?

Arrrgghhh! My eyes! That wallpaper...my eyes! Not my style at all. And what is with that painted floor? I can understand liked, but that looked like an even painted floor. My kids and dog would give it a rustic look within a week.

Going against the grain, but I LOVE it! It's really Martha Stewart/Cape Cod style, which I love. I'll admit that if it wasn't your thing, it would be VERY overwhelming, though!!

Lovely house... but all the furnishings / wallpaper = trying way too hard! Yuck.

I live in QLD so appreciate renovated QLDers. I love the house and the rooms plus the verandah! I'm not digging the furniture and deco though. This post has been edited by =R2=: 10/01/2013, 10:46 AM

People can't actually live there. The books? Who would arrange their books like that? And the painted floor - no one could actually walk on it could they? And there is one (count it) one picture on the wall and it looks as though it is a print, of a bathroom, in the bathroom! Who lives like that? I call show home. A friend of my sister used to 'style' houses and apartments for sale. They had a warehouse full of matchy furniture bedding etc. to use to make them look as though you could live in it - in a fantasy of clean lines and co-ordination. Urgh... the books, the books really annoy me!

I was going to say looks like a sims house too! Especially with all the tables with random decorative objects on top neatly lined up. Totes going to paint the floors white in my sims house now. However, I LOVE the claw foot bath. This post has been edited by Excentrique: 10/01/2013, 09:45 AM
