Naah Rob, you didn't get carried away at all. I hear you, I wouldn't either be able to live in a house with too many bright furnitures but I wouldn't mind having some splashes of colour here and there, I'm a colour whore.
I haven't be able to find out how old the hotel is but my guess is that the interior isn't more than 7 years old.
So you prefer the good old French type of interior? I think it's beautiful but if we are to talk about classic and more mature interiors I do prefer Oxford styled interiors a bit more.
