    He's right - "this statue is absolute rubbish ' - yes, but it's my rubbish and my home - not a museum. Also, the interesting wall treatment reminds me of a dining room in George Washington's Mount Vernon - all painted green and shellacked/varnished to create a highly reflective surface for candlelight of the 18th century.

      @@cameronrobinson9859 🤔Normally, I eschew excess formality and fuss. I am also extremely particular about color and pattern -- especially knowing I have chosen both that I quickly came to regret😔.
      😝Agree, following trends can be boring. There is a big danger to chasing a theme-oriented decor scheme. Ultimately, that can feel soulless as well as disingenuous.
      Something highly satisfying about classic English estate elegance. Also homes that look like they have been cleverly and lovingly built over time, yet still feel fresh and inviting.
      This gentleman's home is quite remarkable. Love all his rich layers. It is a jewel box without being precious. The perfect balance of masculine & feminine energy. Clearly, he is a connoisseur of fine things and understands components of timeless design.
      Although honestly I think there is a vast gulf between what he and I consider rubbish🗑.
