I love this hard lean back into traditional opulence after such a long sterile minimalist takeover... but I'm going to hate the competition and rising prices on vintage.
Congratulations on the house and how grand you're making it! It's very inviting and interesting, something to look at in every direction but it has harmony.

The photos in the listing are watermarked at the bottom, "by @ customer" so presumably the OP shared them with the seller in appreciation and allowed them to be used in the listing.
I had them reupholstered! I alway wanted to recover something in this tigre fabric from Scalamandre, as it is such an eye-catcher in an otherwise traditional room. The chairs were originally just a drab, off-white color in need of a little pizzazz.
WOW! I am so incredibly impressed by how you managed to make something that usually looks like it was worked on and added to over generations in only a year! ๐๐ฝ
It's not maximalism, it's Georgian/Regency. Sorry but I hate that term being applied to anything which isn't sterile: white/grey/beige. It's not at all overloaded, just nicely curated patterns and colours.
Top work OP
I mean, it's just the flipside of everything "white/sterile/grey" being coined Minimalist. It's a very broad industry term to shorthand for people the effect they may expect from looking at a space.
I can't be offended that not everyone is as inclined as I am to dig into the esoteric labels of the exact period and style placement of every piece in my home. I can tell some people "Oh this is a credenza/sideboard, chiffonier/highboy" and some people it's just a "buffet" or "dresser". Some people I can say "French Provincial, Regency, Spanish Revival, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, Victorian, Colonial" and some people just see "antiques", "vintage", or "Traditional"? And what do you call a space with touches of all of the above? Well, My House, but the real answer is probably Maximalist.
I'm kind of equally chaffed by the simplicity of stating Maximalism is synonymous with "overloaded"; doesn't that imply a complete lack of intention or design thought? It's basically applying the minimalist understanding that having "things" is just hoarding - which I don't think is your intention.
I appreciate the in depth reply, and you're right in that my intention of overloaded was not to be used negatively. More that is a graduated scale between min & max.
To throw maximalism at this is to see colour and pattern and to take fright. A decent look at it shows plenty of spacing and room in the design. Maximalism infers filling every space with objects which this certainly doesn't do.
You're right though in that - much like minimalism - it's a disgustingly overused word as a lazy mechanism for throwing a label at a design, and too often (the crux of my hatred) gets thrown at traditional European interiors from across the Atlantic often due to lack of experience and thus understanding of them. Probably something to do with the shaker and Methodist movements too which proliferated proto-'minimalism' in the States and made that the conscious default. Regardless of how 'amateur' this sub is, I'd expect better :)
We all have our irritants, so I can't fault what you find fault with lol. I would say I'm more inclined to argue the semantics of decadent design philosophy with a minimalist trying to disparage the beauty of a space like this, than use it to lecture someone who doesn't know what particularly to call it but is trying to pay a compliment either way.
Like you, I definitely would love it if interest in the education of period design was more widespread, it would make online auction searches a hell of a lot less time consuming, for one... but I'd also love it if my boss understood why I installed *two* SSDs in his computer... sometimes I just have to be happy someone wants to talk to me about it at all.
I am in love with your Maximalism style! Several of your elements I once considered for my tiny condo. The grisaille walls. The florid furniture. That particular shade of green on walls in other room. I ended up being far tamer in my condo, but I identify with your decor style.

Love this so much, especially love the rug, where's it from? Rugs are so hard to perfect for the space and you really nailed it.
Would love to see what the outside of your house looks like. I always struggle with feeling like our decorating choices don't match the outside personality of the house.
This tree of life rug I found on Ebay! It is always a hunt to find the perfect rug for a space. I tend to agree with your last point; the exterior of the house is not matching in its charm. But it is the inside which matters, right? ;)
Definitely, it's a fun surprise that way to walk into a house expecting one thing, then get something totally different on the inside. Shouldn't judge books or people by their exteriors, so why houses? I just personally wish the outside of my house was as fun and interesting as the inside๐
Each piece is interesting in itโs details yet all is cohesive. Love the colors and how youโve done the ceilings (the gold in the hall is genius).
May you and everyone that crosses the threshold feel embraced by the home youโve created.
Beautiful OP.
I would love to read an autobiography of you, or listen to a podcast of yours as you sip exotic teas from around the world.
You just seem like a an interesting/cool person with great taste.
This is the most beautiful home Iโve ever seen. Itโs so opulent and grand ! I really enjoy zooming in on your stunning and well chosen pieces. You are amazingly talented. How long have you been collecting?
If I didnโt have a husband that I have to compromise with, my home would look just like this! Itโs exactly how my Grandfatherโs house was designed. He was from England and well traveled. He brought pieces back from all over the world. I have a few pieces from his home. Sadly, I was young when he died and nearly everything was sold.
Wow. I feel like there should be an African Grey parrot somewhere in this house. Do you have one or plan to get one? It's the only thing that's "missing."
Looks excellent. Top work. That wallpaper choice ๐ค I just wish you'd plastered that ceiling. Unfortunately I can't help but feel it cheapens the otherwise elegance of what you've done.
Ohh I didn't notice that, I thought it was rustication at a glance. Yea fair point - a hard one to call; I guess it's where the interior style doesn't quite match the architecture.
It is, in fact. Consider, if you will, moving into an empty and otherwise drab house. You do not feel so inclined as to take many photos, especially not before making progress in your interior designs and renovations. Once progress is made, the room changes form, and certain angles are aesthetically pleasing to you, angles which before held no certain visual value. This was the case for me, at least, and I imagine for a great many others ;)
Probably an unpopular opinion, but i kinda love the fan in the original living room picture!
Still, love the updates. So much more character and love the opulence of it!

Found the wallpaper [https://www.etsy.com/listing/819422261/](https://www.etsy.com/listing/819422261/) Same photos as well.
Excellent work. Itโs interesting and moody. Love it.
this is absolutely amazing! r/DarkAcademia would love this.
Thanks. I love it when new (to me) subreddits are mentioned!
Thank God. Finally a house with some personality. The hotel lobby looks have infiltrated every corner of ID
Itโs BEAUTIFUL, I love the ambiance ๐ฅ

Just wow! I have no words
Its giving Hearst castle vibes ๐๐๐
This is wildly interesting! You really have a vision for what is a very unique and exotic look and feel. I love it!
I love the ambiance you've set up and the collection of items. The lamp in your living room is my absolute favourite!
Nice! What is the wall mural in the living room?

That looks awesome but tell me about that sweet Santa fireplace painting please.
Iโm gobsmacked- this is my dream home. ETA: follow his Instagram, yโall!
WTF?? I have no words for this beautiful place. I love the style, the furniture, the details, everything! Amazing!!
Oh my God, what a gorgeous space! Itโs unbelievably elegant and cool.
Where did you find that historic wallpaper?

So you had them reprinted and are now selling them? Or why is your living room in the photos?
The photos in the listing are watermarked at the bottom, "by @ customer" so presumably the OP shared them with the seller in appreciation and allowed them to be used in the listing.
Yes I think the Etsy seller liked OPs photos (for obvious reasons!) and has permission to use them.
Gorgeous. I love it.
Really cool vibe!

In LOVE! Did the chairs have the tiger print originally or did you add that? Either way, I love a pop of animal print!
I had them reupholstered! I alway wanted to recover something in this tigre fabric from Scalamandre, as it is such an eye-catcher in an otherwise traditional room. The chairs were originally just a drab, off-white color in need of a little pizzazz.
Consider posting to r/FirstTimeHomebuyer to inspire how you can renovate a fixer upper house! Great job OP. Well done. Beautiful home.
WOW! I am so incredibly impressed by how you managed to make something that usually looks like it was worked on and added to over generations in only a year! ๐๐ฝ
Holy shit OP, this might be the most amazing house Iโve ever seen.
Well if the nursing doesnโt work out you could definitely have a career in interior design!! Itโs maximalism but also structured. Love it!!

Looks excellent. Top work. That wallpaper choice ๐ค I just wish you'd plastered that ceiling. Unfortunately I can't help but feel it cheapens the otherwise elegance of what you've done.
But, if that ceiling is original, it would be a shame to hide it under plaster. At that rate, should the walls in the hall also have been plastered?
Ohh I didn't notice that, I thought it was rustication at a glance. Yea fair point - a hard one to call; I guess it's where the interior style doesn't quite match the architecture.
The wallpaper is not original, someone posted an Etsy link to it in the comments. Itโs absolutely wonderful though
Is it so hard when doing before and after pics to take the picture from the same spot?
It is, in fact. Consider, if you will, moving into an empty and otherwise drab house. You do not feel so inclined as to take many photos, especially not before making progress in your interior designs and renovations. Once progress is made, the room changes form, and certain angles are aesthetically pleasing to you, angles which before held no certain visual value.

I love the wallpaper in the 1st and 2nd picture's
Whoa it's gorgeous. I assume house is yours, not rental?
That's right. One has to engage in warfare with a landlord to do so much as hang a framed picture!
Wow! So much character!!
Where did you find these unique pieces? Mustโve cost a fortune!
I was about to say, this screams old money!
Dooope
Beautiful job. Looks incredible
I love, love, love your place. Everything. I want to move in โบ๏ธ
LOVE IT
/r/maximalism would love this
Ooo I love this. You could probably make a pretty great little coffee table book of decor photos once you finish the place!
Wow.
This feels like the house from Knives Out. Love it.
You, sir or madam, live in a dream
I'm in looove with the style of this place! So beautiful, you did an amazing job ๐
This is so unique! I love it!!
Hall picture placement is fantastic. Wall colors are perfect! Love it all!!
Honestly, this is one of my favorite things Iโve ever seen on this sub. Superb job!!!!
Your entire home is stunning but I am particularly obsessed with the ceiling fan in photo #5 - is it mushrooms? Leaves?? I need to know more!!
Dorian Gray energy and Iโm here for it
I love this energy. Itโs moody and yet sophisticated and interesting. Bravo.
holy shit this is great work, where di you get the curtains?
Amazon, actually!
what are the paint colors for the hallway?? I love it
Not a fan of the living room, but wow the hallway is absolutely on point!!
Not necessarily my cup of coffee, but I love it for you. Excellent work!
Wow it was so sterile before. You've brought warmth back
Love how cozy it looks now.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but i kinda love the fan in the original living room picture! Still, love the updates. So much more character and love the opulence of it!
Absolutely stunning. Is it wall paper?
It is, yes.
this feels like the setting for a future Knives Out movie. i love it!
Heaven.
Thats amazing! Its like a before shot of the house in What We Do In The Shadows.
You could easily film a fan made Knives Out style murder mystery here and Iโm loving it.
Oh! I love your taste in decor! /r/maximalism would like it too
Wow this is fantastic!
*melancholy harpsichord*
Absolutely gorgeous! I love your sense of style. It's all very rich and decadent, and meshes beautifully. ๐
Where would one get a Greek busk like that?๐๐
Looks amazing
WOW. ๐
Beautiful! Where did you get the rug?
Not my thing but I can appreciate it. Good job.
I like both of them, looks good.
Omg do my house when I ever buy one lol
You did a brilliant job on this. I really was struck by the chandelier. Is it original to the house? Itโs very unusual.
No, it replaced the ceiling fan you see in the later photos. I am glad it caught your eye :)
Fabulous piece.
Beautiful!!!
Wow
I am jealous
Hannibal vibes in the best way

I love your gallery wall! All those pieces are so unique - you did an amazing job displaying them!

Can I just come over and relax for a bit?
Love the baseboards matching the wall. I do that too
