That is lovely. She has gone a bit mental with the tomatoes and the avocados, though.

Really? Loads of really small things about that house annoy me.

nope, sorry, nothing there in the spaces grabs me at all and the furniture clearly belongs to the stylist
nice plot
pull down and start again

What does she do with all of those tomatoes?!?!?

the stylist brings them and the stylist takes them away

I grew up in a magazine house
I'd have quite like some of the toys the stylists brought

Lovely house.

Pale housewife, maybe your dh should move there as he sounds like a bit of a cock

Some odd shapes, too compartment-y for me.

Me neither. Most of it not to my taste at all.

wow, it's lovely, but too 'styled' for a pleb like me. :-p I'd make Naomi cleaver wince. I'd want to put a picture over the fire (or that square hole!) I do really like it though! the bathroom is lovely. Why is she selling?

"Pull down and start again" - srsly?

Lovely, staircase and ensuite are particularly gorgeous but if I actually was in the market or a 3mil home then something about pictures 7 and 8 would be enough to put me off. Something a bit off/missing.

I'm not convinced that the furniture has been brought in (maybe the orchids on the worktop though...). I've got a feeling that she commissioned the house herself which isn't something that people who have no interest in design and interiors tend to do - or when they do, it doesn't end up looking like that. I think it's pretty good, the spaces seem to work well and there's some great details - I really love the corner fireplace - plus it's nicely finished without being ostentatious. I'd live there if it wasn't in Henley.

Branleuse, I was thinking that. I hate reading criticism of UJ, SO'C or next, probably KW as they have all been responsible for the children of their failed relationships unlike millions of dads all over the world who start again without a backward glance, and even if they do glance backwards they're not judged.. So tell mrpalehusband to get over himself.

I do not care whose house it is : it does not work as a flexible space
and I know the area : much better use could be made of that square footage.

but then my next house will either be a new build or a rebuild of catastrophic damage or a demolish rebuild.
I don't like most other peoples taste
but in past house sales they seem to like mine

Strange she's selling as she only moved in a couple of years ago.

She didn't commission the house, she remodelled and extended an existing house.

We've got the (Ikea) lampshade she has in the bedroom. (That's the only similarity with our place!)

That shiny steel chimney thing in the bedroom is odd. And I know it's just paint but that huge, blank charcoal chimney breast is strange. The barbie setting outside seems to bear no relationship to the garden it's in.
