too country kitsch/froofroo

[McJag]

I don't think too foo-foo. I don't know-maybe too smushed up? Not fond of it.

too country kitsch/froofroo

what does that mean grimm? it's flemish dialect for 'bangs'.

i hate the recessed lights, looks like there are holes in the ceiling.

There are touches of 'kitsch', but overall I like it(the spaces, the layout, etc. and most(but not all) of the decor. A plus is that it looks like it harmonizes very well with it's surrounding outdoor environment.

Are those solar panels on the roof?

I could easily live there (with some changes to the decor..those dining room chairs...yikes)

[blissfullyunaware]

It seems kind of dated, I don't care for it either.

[Brookie]

I love love the space, but you can burn most of the furnishings. Lots of windows, lots of light.

Ikea catalog 1993

Lol! That's exactly what it reminds me of!

[Shinola]

I agree, it's exactly 1992 or 1993 to me. But it seems like a well-designed and liveable home that might age well.

[FashionVictim]

I don't know how a house can be 1993, but I like this house
