A Review: The Colourful Past: Edward Bulmer, The English Country House Interior Design & Museum Walk

[@texasstardust6010]

.....The world of Colour .... depth. ,beauty , a richness that cannot be found in all the " whites and Nuetrak decor " that is so prevalent today. I love colour, this book is going to a " must purchase " ,thank you for sharing it. I marveled at the Doll House , I collect certain types of " miniatures ", ( my " whimsical side ", lol) and I have a little display in my kitchen that I put together out of elements that were just found and purchased and the little stove that was in that Doll House looks very very much like the one I have. ... It is a salesman's sample that I scored at an " off the beaten path Antique Shoppe ", some years ago. The display also includes a cast iron chair - It looks like a quilted type of chair- and it has an ottoman , a cast iron table of some kind and I have a lot of other things ....A ceramic fireplace that I found ,and Even the sweetest little miniature dog , that I placed ...sitting by the fireplace... it's just a display, something I enjoy looking at.

I do wish that the general population would return to the world of color with respect to interior design. There's nothing more dreadful than a house done entirely in pale, mousy neutrals. Books like this one really should be required reading for anyone who buys a home. Bravo.

[@gv1967]

Agree fully.

[@janetcorey5102]

The colors are so rich and deep, and the details so beautiful. I loved seeing the doll house and wish we could see more doll houses.

[@thetartantopiary]

I was in love with that doll house. I think I viewed it for about 15 minutes before moving on to the next thing. It was truly a beauty. Can you imagine receiving that as a gift in 1900, or in 2023 for that matter?

Gorgeous rooms! I love English design and antiques. This book is one to get.

[@thetartantopiary]

I appreciate that. Sometimes I think I decorate like a museum curator.

I love how he doesn't overdo it and sticking to the design classic of country homes.

[@chrisogrady4956]

Rizzoli and Taschen books are a dream… I wish I could have them all.

[@thetartantopiary]

Yes, I also find I appreciate Gibbs-Smith. They have published some really good authors and subjects as well.

[@thetartantopiary]

Thank you, I did enjoy this book. I was glad to learn more about Edward Bulmer.

[@vickeypierce293]

Wow!! Absolutely stunning....and that doll house!! Such attention to details

[@thetartantopiary]

As a child, I loved my Fisher-Price doll house, but this was on a level I never knew existed. I studied the details for at least 15 minutes before moving on.

[@vickeypierce293]

@@thetartantopiary yes! I kept backing up the video to see every detail

Magnificent interiors. This book is a must for people like me who likes this style. Your museum tour a real treat. May I know the name of the music? Thank you for showing in detail the doll's house.

[@thetartantopiary]

I am so annoyed, I ordered this book at a good price in the US for my xmas and it never came but arrived here in France then went straight back. As it hasn't arrived back I don't get my money back but meanwhile I ordered another one for much more money which I HOPE will arrive ! Happy New Years Mrs Tartan ! xo

[@thetartantopiary]

Happy 2023 to you my friend! I am sorry about your book fiasco, but when it arrives, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

[@sophisticatedswine7172]

I JUST BOUGHT HIS BOOK ON AMAZON, I FOUND IT FOR 45.00. ;O) ENJOY YOUR WEEK!

[@thetartantopiary]

Great price- this book was just released a few months ago!

[@p.j.b.1786]

The doll house was magnificent. Was it found with the period miniature furniture?

[@thetartantopiary]

The only information provided about the contents was "most of the miniature furniture displayed in the rooms of the dollhouse are original to the piece". It was extraordinary!

The Tartan Topiary is going to bankrupt me 🤦

[@thetartantopiary]

Don't worry, I'm going down with you! 😁

[@camillopellegatta581]

Unfortunately the voice over ruins the whole video: boring, slow, distant, cold etc. etc. Why do a video that put you to sleep after 3 minutes? The title of the video should be: " The sound of destruction ". RIP
