That floor ...

Yeah, and he continued it into the laundry, too! (shame, pretty nice cabinetry in there!)

More weirdness: Look at how the K is "open" to the LR:

I dont know what I was expecting, but definitely not that.

I like the floor and the island - the cabinets and backsplash I do not like. I think that the backsplash is the worst thing in the room.

The only thing I see that seems childish is the collection of books - they have jarring colors, but the rest of the room does not.

The island color is very jarring to me, but the floor has to go. The island I could see if you lived in say, the islands. Or Mexico. But for me, it is wrong in this home, because it is does not work in the context of the architecture or the rest of the house.

The floor ... IDK maybe in an edgy urban loft. Still not for me.

That said, the area where they were restrained (cabs and b/s) is also a fail! The b/s is too cold for the cabs. And the cabs are too creamy for the floor and island. A mess.

They have done some very nice things but a lot of the rooms do not play well with this K. I think my fave is the attic bedrooms. Love all the upholstered headboards.

^^^^ ded, that was my thought also!

Lars said what I was planning to say, pretty much verbatim. The floor and island might not be my cup of tea, but they work as a pair and make a bold statement. That backsplash works with nothing else in the room.

On the "not to show dirt" front, I did have the thought that it wasn't designed by a 9 year old, it was designed by the mom who got tired of cleaning up their messes.

The outside and inside definitely don't match but it's kind of a neat house. Cozy in a way. Do you think the kitchen was moved - not sure why they didn't figure out a better solution for the doorway.

Ararpaho,

They've made bold design choices, many of which I think work. I stand by my assessment that the K floor does not work in the house at all. I don't think they moved the K, just wanted to open it up. Looks like they have a butler's pantry of sorts between the K and DR --- if they were moving things around I'd have guessed they would use that space better?

The whole house is very quirky so in that way, I think the kitchen fits in. I couldn’t live with that floor — too much crazy there.

This view makes me dizzy. I kinda love that wallpaper but maybe in a bathroom?

I’m curious about the rugs. I don’t think I’ve seen rugs like these.

That house just gets worse and worse - for my tastes anyway. But I do like the island colour. I am not a fan of grey at all. I just have to go outside and I will get my fill of it 5 months of the year.

I actually like the floor and island. I don’t like the stainless steel appliances. The house is pending, btw.

Yes I know, I was just sharing it because I have never seen a floor like that.

Sue, I've always loved that wallpaper and even considered it in the light aqua colorway, for Maine.

They accidentally splattered the floor when painting the island and decided to go all in with it.

I like the floor. But, after living with a grey-black-white speckled corian countertop. I want to be able to see that I need to sweep up, and see where not to step. Looks like they framed a piece of it on the kitchen wall.

Why are all the pots and pans, and maybe the knives, jumbled up on racks on the wall by th refrigerator and the window?.?

I also like the dining room.

What I don’t like, is that these are listing photos for the house, but they show the decor more than they show the house. They need to at least remove much of the furniture.

We looked at a house years ago where the woman had very creative decorating ideas. Her mud room linoleum floor was painted with different colored, randomly placed footprints by her kids. It was cute for a mudroom. And easy to change.

Is that paint over wood or tile? I can’t really tell. Overall I like the rooms. I think that would be nice space to live in. Like the outdoor area, too.

I was not expecting that house with that kitchen, but it is relatively easily reversible. It is done with someone with a love of color, pattern and eclectic style but without the eye or skills to pull it together and make it sing, imho. The Pollack inspired floor could work with the right space and implementation, perhaps. I think you would have to seal the floor with urethane because it would not wear well.

I think it is a nice house,and I like most of it. K would be an easy fix IMHO. I like the outdoor space a lot,shame there is no garage or parking.

As the mom of two boys, it looks more 8-10 yr old girl to me. JK I'm fine with the island though I'd probably pick a different shade, but cannot understand the flooring. I wonder what it looks like in person. Some things don't photograph well, but this is hard to imagine being better. It doesn't even look flat -- more like a crazy drop cloth or something photoshopped in. Regardless, a couple of rooms of flooring is an easy fix.

What I don’t like, is that these are listing photos for the house, but they show the decor more than they show the house. They need to at least remove much of the furniture.

I think when they give the 3-d tours (as they did here), with floorplans and all the Matterport views, that does a great job of showing the house.

Sueb, You're right, one of the rugs looks more like a tapestry:

If I had that kitchen floor, I'd never have to sweep again...sounds good! HAHA!

haha, that kitchen floor is awful.

one of my first decor projects was splatter painting my bedroom furniture when I was 12. I was the envy of all my friends and it sparked a lifelong love of DIY decorating. I wish I had a pic of that room!

But, there are no islands on which to be safe (when it turns back to lava)!!
