Like you've just walked into a shop we have here called Bayswiss! [strange name for a store that sells Idian/Oriental homewares & furnishings] .. Some of the individual pieces are lovely.. but all together it is too much... all a little frou frou for me.. I like some sort of happy medium.. not sterile.. but not so much going on you cannot appreciate any one thing!! I'd be exhausted trying to find me keys!! haha... Have fun xx Julie<br /><br />PS I've just remembered I have Buddha under my spare bed... oops must decide what to do with him!! purchase from a past life.. hahahaJulie@beingRUBYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424920655462727594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-25891483047080613272010-02-26T22:56:06.644-05:002010-02-26T22:56:06.644-05:00i am scrolling thru thinking hmmmm....could take t...i am scrolling thru thinking hmmmm....could take the opium bed, and.....that is it<br /><br />love goldie but yikes.....burn every window treatment!<br />xo<br />debradebra @ 5th and statehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18039580956294327582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-9847796274143646032010-02-26T21:03:28.674-05:002010-02-26T21:03:28.674-05:00new drapes throughout

I know it's her trademark, but I'm so over that '70's long look with those flicko things on the sides of her bangs. She's in a time warp, a bit like the decor in this abode.

I love the movie-set look and wish I could accomplish that in my own home (feel like sharing any tips, Renee?). What I don't care for are the sheer swags or the rocking chairs. Both things remind me of Victoriana, which is my least favorite style of all, along with pared down contemporary.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529448801131672183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-21119232840964144152010-02-26T19:07:25.181-05:002010-02-26T19:07:25.181-05:00well, francine , countrypolitan and i would throwi...well, francine , countrypolitan and i would throwing out most of the same stuff.<br />but the first thing i would burn is the swag in the master, scrapping the tv room for sure.<br />sorry yvonne (mom), the white elephant base on that cocktail must be removed,and removed quickly.<br />hmmmm....i wonder if they have a fireplace. hahahahaha<br /><br />and jackie, i do love movie set-interiors. <br />that is one of the things i actually do for my clients if the wish their home design to be carried out that far.<br />it is in the details, detail, details.<br />it is just there are too many BIG DETAILS in this apertment.<br />xxxRenée Finberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089653023972180206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-14601690908185756462010-02-26T17:55:48.284-05:002010-02-26T17:55:48.284-05:00Dear Renee,
I was reading and scrolling down think...Dear Renee,<br />I was reading and scrolling down thinking, 'does Renee like this?' <br />I don't personally like the over the top luxuriousness of it all. It's ostentatious and very Hollywood. I think that it would be like living in a film set and, whenever I see celebrities homes, I always think that it must be like living in an hotel. Money doesn't always bring taste and originality..... and, Goldie, call your interior designer !!

SO...Excuse me while I get a towel to wipe my MOUTH. SO that's how the other half lives, what a place. <br />The elephant table is my favorite. <br />To each his own. Some people sit in a closet for peice of mind.<br />I hate contemporary. I have gone into so many Decorated homes that look like no one lives there. l It looks like a CEO's office or a clinic. I won't name the designer. I am in another world, I like Romance and elegance.

Interestingly not trendy?

The media room....definitely dated....too many pillows with the expected swags and stone pillar glass table. May I also add too much of everything. i find that if I try to find peace and serenity in my life, I need to unclutter all the material stuff. The Buddha is absolutely beautiful but it looks just as part of an overdone decors and though lost its spiritual meaning.<br />Hope I was not too mean....but you asked... francineFrancine Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042631088215474109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-36537849625166756872010-02-26T15:23:55.157-05:002010-02-26T15:23:55.157-05:00I guess it's colonial bling.
