For all you wallpaper fans

5 months ago

This house is for sale in the town where my cottage is. The grounds are tdf and the house dates back to 1660. But my, oh my, the wallpaper. I am convinced the owners are in the wallcovering biz or have the last name of Waverly. Too much of a good thing, imo, but I applaud their daring mix and matching of color and patterns. Link below.

    That is a beautiful property and the landscaping is stunning. Then you walk inside and are assaulted by all that wallpaper, even the ceilings! They missed the garage through.

    Eek! My eyes!!

    So pretty on the outside, though.

    It is a lot! Lovely house and grounds. Shame the pool is vinyl. In all, it would not take too much to improve. The price seems low.

    The original wide pine floors - swoon! The price does seem low.

    The colors are nice but I do not like the ceiling wallpaper at all! It feels claustrophobic.

    The price was 2.3.The house is near my dd’s house. We walked by it the other day and it is completely hidden. The property is gorgeous.

    Love the floors and the grounds. Don’t love the wallpapered ceilings or the toilet just sitting out in the middle of the bathroom.

    I agree that too much is too much and give me boring ceilings........however, I really liked the kitchen wallpaper. A LOT.

    I'll show myself out.

    It’s definitely a time capsule. Seeing the aerial photos it looks as though it has been expanded many times with no thought to a cohesive design, just adding on here and there where there was room to do so. So many different rooflines, it looks very jumbled! It would be a huge project to redo the interiors but that would still not address the higgledy- piggledy exterior.

    The grounds are gorgeous. I’d love to stroll around in person. And I love this age and style of house.

    I’m not a fan of the wallpaper; I wish we could see what the future buyers do (if they remove any or all and how they decorate).

    Interesting that it was moved in the ‘50s. Thanks for sharing, jojo!

    It would be fun to see what it looks like if you asked AI to neutralize some of the wallpaper or fabric patterns. I don't have time now, maybe later!

    I actually like some of the wallpaper and the hosue overall, thought it needs to tone down its Colonial-ness for my tastes. That look can become almost themey.

    The first thing I'd do is remove the window treatments, but overall, I'd keep most of the wallpaper. Something about it all just works for me. The atrium is gorgeous, and the grounds are perfection!

    Beautiful grounds, but boy howdy, my eyes need a rest!

    Wow...pattern mixing with too much color! Someone was over zealous about decorating! The room sizes are nice tho. Love the grounds...a gardners dream scape. Beautiful from the outside. A great piece of property and not over priced. I wonder what the new owners will spend on the remodel...
