BoudiccaDjango's Profile

Beautiful. Full of personality and totally original. I love the kitchen, especially the wallpaper. You also have so many lovely pieces - lights, mirrors etc. It's so refreshing to see a house like this on AT.

I've seen this house before - Livingetc? I love the herringbone tiling. The brass bathroom fittings remind me of Jenna Crew's old house - definitely something I'd want, if I was re-doing a bathroom. I think I'd change the ladder in the kitchen for a fireman's pole - that'd definitely go down well at parties!

The blue jug is my favourite thing in the whole house.

The antique leather chair looks shiny in the photo too. Presumably that offends your sensibilities as well? What I find annoying is your arrogance. It's ok to say you don't like something. Anyone who puts their home on this website is opening their style choices up to constructive criticism. To tell someone " Please lose the shiny table covering....." is simply rude.

Love the area in photo 12. (Not sure which room it is.) Great use of colour. The main area is too bland for me, with all that white & beige. Love the pink chair too.

I agree with tkj re the rugs and think it could do with the furniture being pulled away from the walls. Love the space though.

What an amazing space. My favourite area by far is the kitchen. I would like to see maybe a screen or two to break up the vastness of the rest & would prefer the bedroom to be totally enclosed. That said all the beautiful pieces really fill the place with character & I can just imagine the cold winter evenings curled up in front of the woodburner with a hot toddy & an old black & white film on the telly.

I subscribe to Livingetc & am looking forward to it dropping through the letterbox to see more. you have exquisite taste.

I think the walls could do with a shot of colour to make it more cosy. It looks really chilly. Also agree that the furniture should be closer together. It actually feels like an estate sale waiting to happen.

I don't get why people feel they can speak for a whole country when they describe their habits. -MRS ELLIOTT -"The duvet cover, sheet, and pillowcases get changed and laundered every 2 weeks. I also have padded pillowcase protectors and a quilted mattress topper that get laundered a couple of times a year. I think that is pretty much standard here in Blighty."
I change the bed linen every week. I'm sure plenty of others do. The mattress/pillow protectors get washed at the same time. Otherwise you are putting clean on top of used. Not suggesting for one minute that you're a grubby, but each to their own. ;-)

A 'European' family? Not from any particular country then?

I used to live in an Edwardian maisonette. Strictly speaking, it should be purpose built and have a private entrance not a shared entrance hall. A converted flat would usually have a shared main front door, unless it was the basement flat.

I agree it's a disappointing tour for an 'interior designer'.
