Open House Sunday

Yellow Bungalow

built 1920
A happy bright yellow bungalow in the Virginia Highlands Neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia.
I love the windows on this one.
Diamond panes everywhere.

A nice big front porch on welcomes.

Step into a bright large living room.
I don't know what is up with all those rug samples in the foreground.
Very distracting. You'd think they would have picked them up for these listing photos.
Other than that...I really like the decor of this cottage.
a collection of vintage paintings graces the mantel.

Lots of windows. Love the window seat.
I'd make that plant scoot over so I could sit down.

 Notice the tree trunk table? 

I really like all the french doors to the dining room.
I've seen bungalows before that have french doors leading to the dining room.
I think they are so pretty but don't know what purpose they serve.
Antler candlesticks....shall we count the trends we've seen in the house already?
1. flea market paintings
2. globes
3. antlers
4. tree trunk table

 Of course I'd prefer this kitchen in white. As it is, it would definitely benefit from stainless appliances.
I don't usually care about stainless appliances but they would make a difference in this kitchen.

This side of the kitchen is a bit odd. Yes, this kitchen needs some help.

Bedroom has a modern masculine vibe.

A little bathroom that will do. Notice the little mirror over the little sink?

I really like this room. It has a very mid century feel.
The table by the bed is an odd choice but I love the nook full of art.

Very pleasant bath. Love a claw foot tub, don't you?

Love the exposed brick.

The backyard looks a little wild but I like it. I love the brick wall back there and the fountain or pound.
I wonder if there are koi in it?

A brick patio provides a nice place to have dinner outside. 

Bungalows are always cheerful homes, don't you think?

Especially one painted sunny yellow!

I hope you are having a Super Sunday!

Open House Sunday

Bungalow on a Hill

built 1925

Here's a pretty little bungalow sitting high on the lot.

One of my friends in my neighborhood has a house that sits high up on her lot and it feels like you are living in a tree house looking down on everyone.

I thought I wouldn't like that feeling but I tell you my friend's house is very cool.

I'll show it one of these days. 

So anyway...the fact that this one sits up high...is a bonus.

Cute curb appeal.

Quite a slope to the yard.

I like the colors they used on this home outside.

Slate has been put on the porch. I know this looks nice but I prefer au-naural concrete.

The features of this house are very cute. It's not decorated the best but it's nice and homey.

I love all the white trim. Typical bungalow features that would have originally been in a stained wood.

I know stained wood is what these homes would have had originally but I just love white woodwork.

Everything looks better with white woodwork.

Cute sun porch.

It's just off the kitchen.

Again...don't like the decor one bit but this dining room would be nice in other colors and with other furniture.

Another sitting room or office.

Lots I love about this kitchen and things I don't. I love the cabinets and the stove.

Counters are fine but I hate the color of the backsplash. It would have been so much better 

in true white and I don't like black sinks...

I know this is carrying the color of the counter through but I'd rather see white. 

I do like that the kitchen faucet is coming out of the wall just like it originally would.

It's a very narrow galley kitchen...but that is typical of a house from this era.

This is the hall. Love the built ins right off the dining room which would be very convenient 

for storage and easy access to your china and glasses.

Now up the stairs. 

Good spot for a master.

Another bedroom. I'd love to have a bedroom that would be up in the trees.

Nice vintage bathroom. I like the color combination here dark cream, white and gray.

Sitting area upstairs. Red is so wrong for this room. It should be a color that adds to the tree house feel.

Look at all that green out the windows. Wouldn't this room be pretty in light colors? 

Light green or light aqua?

A screen porch upstairs. This could be such a great spot. 

Not decorated to shine at all. But I can imagine the possibilities.

Not a big yard...but big enough. I like the brick patio.

See how much bigger this house looks from the back then it does from the street?
It's a bungalow with a secret.

Hope you are having a great Sunday!
