No, it is a way of clearing out all the new stuff you bought because it was what you saw on TV or at friends houses you thought you needed and finding out what is really you. I do love her home, her home certainly is her, adorable.
I agree. People today follow trends way more than they used to; if something is on instagram, everybody wants it. Everything is beige, white, gray, like most people's personalities.
She knows herself, she is aware that what she owns are merely objects, and yet she is secured with the beauty they rendered. She is involved but she is unattached, and that is a healthy dose of madness. She is inspirational and unbothered.
I like the statements: Everything, everything is worth way more now than I paid for them. And especially the house & things don't love me; BUT, I love it.
I'd love to bring her favorite treat, and hear how she acquired or made it all. Fascinating and intriguing person. I particularly loved the red on red staircase with the busts peering down.
The scrapbook is a collection of times her house was used in films, magazines and articles. I lived in this house twice,as a small child and a teenager, in the basement flat. It was totally incredible, as was Ann, and it made me believe in the joy and beauty of self expression.
I would love to have a longer video of Mrs. Broadbent and her home. I recently found her and she has me entranced! I love her home and HER!!! She is my spirit-animal ♥️
I have a German background and l think this house and the woman who lives there are amazing. I get that keeping it dark complements the house's impressive age but l would love to see it in the bright light because l know it will be even more wonderful.
Lovely woman with an interesting house.....definitely not my style, but it suits her. I thought it was quite sad when she was talking about the door in the servant's quarters, and how it had been turned so that the servants couldn't see the beautiful side of the door, and that was for the "grand folks" to see. I understand the times, and how the whole "people classing" thing worked.....but it's still a bit sad.
You remind me of my past .That 's what l use to do.l love my house.l have my owen stamp on mine.l have been called simerler to you , the mad woman.love your great house and all your great fine's .❤❤👌👍
What an amazing home you have all of those wonderful things you put in it love to be able to do this and what an amazing woman to live in such an amazing place
This is very intriguing to me. I thought I might be this way but as a child living in rough areas, we moved alot. Leaving the childhood home I had my happiest and unhappiest memories within taught me alot. It taught me that nowhere is home indefinitely. I never grew attached to a home ever again and so never wanted for a permanent residence in my adult life. People I know are buying houses, getting married, accumulating stuff. I'm not but I don't feel bad about it. I feel a sense of freedom from it.
I worked for an elderly lady with a place like this & she died. I had to clean it all out! Oh my! What work that was! In the end I had to call GOT JUNK & they hauled the rest of the stuff away.
Greenwich and Blackheath used to be full of mad eccentric,artistic, unique members of the upper class who did bugger all like this but nowadays it's just dull corporate drone 😢types; bankers and lawyers who work in canary wharf
Let me just say"I love this house,this lady's style and ability to breathe life into objects" I would live here in a heartbeat!! Just so me,I also look through skips and take stuff people leave outside with "Free" on them. I upcycle and most things can have a new and alternative use from their original design. That bed and quilt just blew me away! Those plates on the wall! I have plates too on my walls. Geez if I was ever outside this lady's home taking a photo,I would think myself very honoured to be asked in to look round. Really,really love it.
No big Edie vibes at all,this lady is lovely,big Edie was not. Don't get me wrong I do like big Edie and adore her daughter,but big Edie was very unfair to her daughter and they lived in squalor sadly. I thought little Edie was absolutely beautiful a stunning Lady of her time.
