Nope. Way too much. I'm not a "paint everything beige" person - my own house has bright yellow in the kitchen, a red accent wall in the TV room, navy blue in both the dining room and guest room, and my daughter's room is bright pink - but there's no way I could have that much "busy-ness" on the walls.
I would love this in a cabin or any seasonal second home but not my main home. I have a whimsical room - started when I worked and occasionally worked home. Just a way to add a little humor and fun to some rather dull days. It is now a TV/computer room. It isn't that crazy wild but I love it. Must be my inner child because I always gravitate to that room and so do my guests. Great for those winter days.
I do like it. I find it very stimulating, but not sure how long I would need to be that stimulated.. maybe a month. I tire of my surroundings very easily and need to make constant changes (grew up as an army brat) so, for me, it's nice to have those changeable things be as simple as pictures on the wall, cushions, rug... rather than the entire room.
I didn't expect to, but she has a VERY good eye, and the way she has accessorized and paired colors together really works. It's not just a bunch of crap. The stuff is all really nice, and her work is very good.
My brain probably works a lot like hers. I LOVE bookshelves CRAMMED with books like that, and I really like pairing different textiles etc.
It's definitely not for everyone, but neither is the blah Pottery Barn look.
she is an artist and it looks like she has been in that space for years and years, which accounts for all the stuff. I don't mind the color or the patter or the stuff if there were half of it. it feels way too cluttered for me, but I can see where if it was your home and your style it would feel homey to you. I close escrow on a little condo at the end of the month, lol my color palette on this one is more bold than I have ever done, I am crossing my fingers I will like it!

No way. Her house looks unorganized and, at least to me, everything is clashing. There's no feeling of peace or harmony. I don't think it's her use of color (although I'm not a fan of a lot of color); it's that it just seems so disjointed.
I love color but I HATE that house. I would run screaming from it within about fifteen minutes.
