Open House Sunday

Gingerbread House

 Adorable tudor revival cottage in the M Streets of Dallas.

built 1930

 This house has lots of outside charm. The way the rock emphasizes the architecture is unusual. 

I think this house looks like something straight out of "Hansel and Gretel". 

Notice the pretty stained glass windows?

I love how they've stacked pumpkins on either side of the stairs for fall.

 Here in the living room, we see the stained glass windows. 

A nice wood arched door serves as entrance.

I love their sofa and the red toile covered chair.

 Very nice fireplace. I like this sort of fireplace that is a mixture of stucco and tile.

I'm not fond of the coffee table. It's too big for the room.

 But I do like that sofa, lots.

I like the nubby rug too.

 Pretty and simple dining room. 

I really like the dining room chairs.

 Drapes are very nice.

 I can just imagine what this kitchen would look like with a stainless stove.

It would be so much better. I'd want a hood over the stove instead of a microwave too.

The cabinets to the right where the sink is are original.

Unfortunately, whoever renovated didn't go to the trouble to match the cabinets on the other side.

That's unfortunate. 

I do like that the bottom cabinets are dark while the tops are light.

 And here a stainless fridge would take this kitchen to the next level.

 I really like that little sidboard there against the wall.

 Love that little table. Don't like the chairs. I'm not sure what that shelf thing is but I like it.

This would have been an open porch originally, now a play room.

I hate it when porches are filled in and turned into rooms.

I'd much rather have this as a porch.

This room has a pretty street view. Looks just like my neighborhood.

 Oh...my...I love this little girl's room.

Isn't it perfect? 

That bed!

 Sweet Vanity. This is the kind of room that could really grow with a little girl.

I can imagine it as perfect for a 6 year old as it would be for a 16 year old.

That seems the perfect shade of pink.

I'm guessing this is the master. I would say this house is staged cause everything looks so in order.

But there are boxes and suitcases under the bed. So perhaps someone is really living here. 

 Pretty trundle bed. I love those matching armoires.

I wish I had two of those to put on either side of my bed in my own bedroom.

I think they'd be great with a bed between them.

 Love the mirror...although it's hanging a little too high.

No photos of the bathrooms on this house...which is disappointing. 

Patio and swimming pool out back.

 It could use a little love back here.

 Wouldn't take much to make this an outstanding backyard.
