I saw the floor plan but i do not see bathroom or bedrooms?
I would have to agree with some of you. This mix of original and new is not a good one. And I'm quite confused about the floors. Are they not finished yet or they going to leave them looking unfinished?I didn't like either the mix between old things and new ones...
I thought the one with the animals was one of the children's rooms too at first, but it's acutally the kitchen. The sink is visible in the picture, and the link with the layout states which painting is in which room. I can't understand why they would put that in the kitchen. To remind them of the next hunting season?

It's always very delicate to introduce modernity in old homes like this. Being not a big fan of contemporary art, i think, however, they did a great job! Color shemes are very interesting, quite fresh, and we can see that they made a clear difference btw state rooms (quite conventional, yet modern, colors) and more private quarters (with more "adventurous" paintjob).
The whole palace reflects perfectly the young and dynamic CP couple, and after all the building is not a museum but trully a living home! All is a matter of taste of course ... but it's fun, quite chic, and it shakes the more conservative sensibilities so i must say i like it!
I could not disagree more with you.Is this the result, if we only listen to artists and designers, but not to our own feelings?

I was so happy when I saw the pictures from the renovation! While I may not have chosen all the artists for my personal taste, I am in awe of this mix of keeping traditions - the formal state rooms which have been so beautifully restored to former glory - and introducing contemporay art, modernism, in a several hundred years old building. I just love it
In my view, it is in keeping with the best traditions of cooperation between artists and the royal house.
Restoration and innovation - who could ask for more?
i can understand Fred have something modern he probably is tired of all the classic or rocco of a palace, even it is not my taste the moder part i admire them for doing what they like!
