I couldn't help but wonder how if I could live in this home. Though the owners say the reflectivity of the glossy finish adds a wonderful glow, I find it has such a heaviness to it and I can't help but think it would feel like living in a cave. Not that caves can't be cozy!
What do you think? Could you live in this home?

I love all the colours used here but really don't think I could live with the glossiness of it all, and yet somehow it seems to work.
ReplyDeleteI do like the gloss finish, which is interesting because my walls are matte :)
ReplyDeleteToo much color for me to have in the whole house but a room or two might be nice. I would like more natural lighting. The color looks very greyish on my screen.
While I think it looks cool, I probably couldn't live in it. I'm about to paint a bathroom in glossy navy and I'm already freaking out about it being too dark :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. When I first saw this in House Beautiful I kept flipping the page for some lighter, airier rooms. I don't mind the idea of one dark room, but not the whole house.
ReplyDeleteno way!! I would be so depressed.
ReplyDeleteI love looking at the photos but no way could I live in the house. I"m way too affected by my surroundings and I need bright and cheery, especially in our gloomy west coast winter days:)
ReplyDeleteI am totally loving the vibe of this space! SO earthy and sexy. Def right up my alley! :)

I definitely wouldn't want it wrapped onto the ceilings, because it closes the space up so much, but I od love the colour and the lacquered finish. In a room with many windows and plenty of light finishes :)
