We recently visited an aquaintance who had moved house some months ago. He is an elderly widower with children and grand children. He is very well off.
His new house was lovely, very tasteful like a house from a magazine but it was incredibly tidy.
There were no plants, very few books, virtually no ornaments except for a few carefully chosen antiques, hardly any pictures, no family photos or momentoes.
It was pristine and elegant which was obviously how he wanted it to be, but it did not seem at all homely.
