Open House Sunday

Prairie Style Home in Dallas

 built 1913
Great curb appeal.

Really like their historic sign.

Lovely light colors in this big home.
I love the colors in this house.
The woodwork is exceptional.

Love all the panels and columns

I'm not crazy about the black chairs and I'd paint that table white.
Adore the big transoms above the doorways.

I really like the rug in here. It adds to the casual elegance of this room.
What do you think of the window treatments?
I like them though they seem a little casual for this room.
I can imagine long nubby linen drapes instead.

I'm sure this room is an addition. Its on the back of the house.

Wonderful light filled space. With all those windows, it's greenhouse like.

I do think that there are too many spindles going on here. 

Not sure what should have been done instead

but that's just a lot of posts...it resembles a porch which is pretty but kind of weird inside. 

What do you think?

 
I wonder if someone really sits here and plays the piano.

That's a pretty little chandelier above.

Pretty little spot to sit and read. This is a big house!

Very nice office. I love that desk. If this were my home...I'd go ahead and paint out the wood white. 

Just cause this room seems like it doesn't go with the rest of the house like this.

I'd be happy watching tv here.

I'm not crazy about this bathroom. It's very nice and I usually like toile but this isn't working for me.

A fireplace in the master is always good.

Now we're shakin'. I really love these cabinets.

Love this whole kitchen. But of course I would, It's similar to my own...all white and black.

I love how tall the cabinets are. I wish my own were tall...They will be one day.

Upstairs sitting area. There seem to be too may places to be in this house.
Is that possible? 

A dining room upstairs? I think a bit odd.

It almost feels like a hotel...there are so many places to be.

Here a bar to enjoy your favorite drink.

Wonderful backyard that includes sports equipment. Here a soccer net...a water basketball hoop.

There is also an entire basketball court! Boys must live here.

Backside view of the house shows off the huge addition on back.

I kind of feel like that addition is just too much. 

It's a gorgeous home for sure but who really needs a two story atrium on the back?

It's a lot of wasted space. It looks to me like a museum from the outside and I can just imagine 

a huge dinosaur bone exhibit inside. Like a tyrannosaurus rex skeleton should be looming through those windows.

Or there should be massive plants and trees inside like a botanical garden.

I know I'm being mean...and picky. It just seems too much.
