Tasteful Friends - Dorinda Medley's Bluestone Manor

How can you get any rest in such a loud room?

So....Nouveau Vulgar is a happening trend?

Does it come with secret stashes of cocaine?

Has a taste . . . in her mouth only.

Gorgeous bones but terrible clothes.

The Sun has more photos. From what I remember from the show, the grounds are beautifully kept.

Dorinda, what is your opinion of the design?

R5 is spot on. It's a lovely structure, great bones. It could be so elegant... but it's not, Blanche.

Lovely house, but I will say from the mostly not too helpful photos that there is nothing to support a Stanford White attribution - an attribution not likely to be shared by many beyond the owner and her interior designer friend. The Fielding of the paneled woodwork, the style of the exterior, the rather generic quality of the details and the lack of a strong visual hierarchy and other things point in another direction.

Still, I like the house, the old parts most, the kitchen least (always the case.) It's too bad she "restored" it and yet the decor suggests she could have done so much worse.

I'm not in love with the exterior, either. It's big--I'll give her that.

Dorinda is estimated to be worth $20 million. Takes a lot of money to look that cheap, I guess.
