Edna has taken our 7 year old daughter & her friends to the British seaside as a birthday treat. It is not our home, but they are staying here

Hi dhermann1. It's a late example of deco - it was built in 1951.

I suppose my taste is the opposite of minimalist - clutterist maybe? I adore having odds and ends all over the house, in particular I don't like to have any space on the walls. Taxidermy, old advertising posters, old film posters, film stills (mainly from British comedies from the 1940s through to the early 1960s). I'll start with the hallway:

Now the living room:

Two Types, I like the pictures all over the walls. I like to have stuff on the wall too. I really enjoy your first photo, there is so much to look at. I always tell people that I keep tons of stuff on the walls because then I am not distracted by the rest of the world.

Cheers. The photos go all the way up the stairs, along the landing then up to the loft room. Trouble is, I'm still buying new stuff and am fast running out of space. I keep trying to convince my wife we need a bigger home - especially a bigger entrance hall. I shall try to make some more photos of other parts of the house. The trouble is getting the right angles.

Two Types perhaps you should try rotating pictures that way you can have all the ones your want just maybe not up at the same time

I do try that sometimes, but then I end up missing the ones that have been taken down. I actually turned down the chance to buy something fantastic today. It was a set of bull's horns. The trouble is, they are five feet wide! I have got a space for them but they are just too big. (mind you, I'll probably be back there next week to buy them!)

This is nice:

I hope whoever buys it, keeps it intact.

Ok so here are more of the house
Here is our newly painted front door

and from the street (it was dull unpainted wood before)

and here is the half bath after we stripped the several layers of wallpaper to the best of our ability. Many of the layers were plastered partially over and we couldn't smooth the wall. My father suggested using paintable textured wallpaper, and even helped us hang it. I selected a bamboo print and we painted it just yesterday.

And the WW2 poster I found, it reads ("I'm going to wipe them out) I couldn't help but find it amusing for the bathroom

I love the walls and paint, very nice.
That poster is appropriate too, way to match it all. :eusa_clap

 

[AmateisGal]

Love that wallpaper, Grant Fan!

For some reason, I am not sure why now I agreed to do this TV show.
