Open House Sunday

Bungalow Beauty
This pretty bungalow built 1916 in Mesta Park neighborhood of Oklahoma City.
Love the green front door and surrounding windows.
I adore the style of the windows on this house.
Wonderful big front porch perfect for lounging and viewing the neighborhood.
All American...isn't it? Mesta Park is a wonderful old neighborhood in our city.
Here we are in the front living room. 
Charming big fireplace.
I'm not showing this house for it's decor...it's rather lacking.
But I can just imagine how great this house could be with pretty furniture and accessories.
The built ins are beautiful in the dining room.
If this house were mine...I'd paint all the woodwork white.
I know it's not the original look but I just love white woodwork.
Those pretty windows...
Kitchen is pretty although I wish it were more original looking.
This is my favorite room in the house! I'm guessing this is a little girl's room.
But it's got the vibe I wish the whole house had.
The basement.
Great deck on back.
Can you see the possibilities?

Open House Sunday

A Classic Foursquare in Mesta Park of OKC
built 1920
This listing shows what great photos can do. 
They show off the house at its best.
This home is in Mesta Park, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Oklahoma City.
It's architecture includes Amercian foursquares, territorial style homes and large and small bungalows.
This is the entry room with fireplace.
The furnishings are pretty minimal in this home.
I love all the big white woodwork.
Not a fan of this furniture in this room or the light fixture but all easily changed.
I'd like this kitchen a lot if it were in another home. It's not the right style for this home.
I do love the black distressed freestanding cabinet.
The aqua and green cabinets are very pretty but I think this home screams for a 
traditional white kitchen with cabinets to the ceiling. 
That rug makes no sense whatso-ever.
I do like this type of kitchen in that you step down into it from the front staircase.
Many of the homes in Mesta Park have these step down kitchens. 
I think they are quaint. I don't know what purpose the step down provided though.
Everything in this kitchen is pretty...it just doesn't belong in this house.
Oh...that rug is unforgivable. 
I do love that black cabinet as pantry. 
Nice bright office.
Cozy Master
Bathroom is a bland but it wouldn't take much to make it beautiful.
Nice little guest room
Wow! Neon green nursery. I wonder if they have trouble getting the babies to sleep?
I would think that color would over stimulate them.
Upstairs media room in what I'm sure used to be the attic.
A fun place to watch movies.
Odd bathroom upstairs. It's funky and fun.
I love the mirror hanging on the brick chimney.
A shot of the backstairs going down.
Perfect back deck
So pretty at Twilight.
