I think the house is delightful, tasteful and doesn't sacrifice comfort to overly styling, which lets you know a family live there and live rather well.

Not at all sure what all the Mao rubbish is above, though. It seems to be rather spiteful, odd, ill thought out nit picking that has absolutely nothing to do with interior decorating. You could even see the Mao statuette as a nod to the design theme that runs through the house, with its lacquer boxes which come from a period of bound feet, but I don't see any feminists going bananas over the fact. I think the fact that Mao has been reduced to a novelty item is rather apt and to carry on this nonsense about him only serves to give him some form of power. The man's dead, so why not use him as a bookend!

Great sense of space and comfort and luxury without being forbidding or cold. I think this is what most homes strive for but rarely achieve. Possibly a smidge of jealousy may have inspired other posters.
