It's also contrived. I believe design should be grounded in a sense of place.

But I prefer the before. Somehow even though it's glamorous it's cozier. The tartan, zebra, and chandelier stop the beige from looking overly dated. The blue room, as other have pointed out, is cluttered, and I wish they could have used a more nuanced and complex color scheme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-11666400419403982732012-03-22T22:02:01.903-05:002012-03-22T22:02:01.903-05:00beforebeforeMeg@OliverandRusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316779028886793405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-62208408132238982422012-03-22T20:30:16.077-05:002012-03-22T20:30:16.077-05:00I definitely prefer the before!
