Open House Sunday

 built 1937

This house in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Oklahoma City.

I was in this home maybe 10 years ago and my it has changed.

 It has all new finishes throughout. It had good bones when I saw it before but super terrible finishes.

 Now I wouldn't have necessarily made all these choices but it's very nice.

Lots and lots of gray so hold on.....including a giant gray zebra!

 

 I kind of love all the shutters in this home. Something I normally don't really like.

But in this home they work.

Wing chairs are usually a good choice for host and hostess chairs in the dining room 

but these are too large and the side chairs too small.

 The kitchen turned out really pretty. I really like the nook the range top is sitting in.

I wish there was a full on stove in that nook, though. But then I prefer stoves to cook tops.

 That looks like black stainless on the wall oven. That's the newest color in appliances.

I still prefer white or regular stainless. I just think these appliances are too dark for this kitchen.

But then I can't really think of a situation where I'd like any kind of black appliance.

 Love that this room opens up to the backyard pool.

 Will I ever tire of white marble? I don't think so.

I would tire of all the gray in this room...and those black mirror frames.

 Big fan of this room. In this room I really like all the gray and like that there is a door outside.

 Precious little room in the attic. This is where I'd want to sleep.

 Fun kids room.

 I believe this is the upstairs bath.

Open House Sunday

In My Neighborhood

 

built 1929

This house is on 30th and Robinson in Edgemere Park. (That's my hood!)

It can be your's! In addition to the open house that I'm having here...there is an actual open house

at the home from 2 to 4 on Sunday (today).

I've driven by this house thousands of times and never thought it was anything special.

 This is how it has always looked since I've lived in the neighborhood.

It's a great house once all the brush was cleared away and it was painted.

 

It's got a great big wrap around porch which I'm envious of.

 There are many things I love about this home and wish my own home had been so clean and bright upon purchase. 

I really covet those windows! So wish my house had those!

 It's got a great original art tile fireplace and I love it that they kept the original gas stove in place as 

it would have been back in 1929.

 I'm loving the color of the walls and all the white trim.

Oh...if my house had been all painted all the way through like this...it would have been a dream.

I was foolish and liked it that I hated all the paint color sin my home cause then I'd have fun changing it.

Wrong...10 years later and I still haven't painted all the rooms and the rooms that I have painted...

I'm repainting!

Notice the great big floor grates? I really dig those. My house had floor furnaces - long removed but you can still see where they had been.

 Original wedding cake chandelier is such a 1920's detail! 

And it's unusual that the dining room has a high ceiling in this house. 

Usually the dining rooms don't...just the living room.

I'd like to have that in my own home.

 Sweet little breakfast nook with a phone nook included. 

Usually there is a built in cabinet in this room. But not this time.

 The kitchen has been totally redone. I would have loved to see what the original kitchen looked like

cause I love original cabinets but I'd be happy with this one.

I adore the white marble countertops.

 Only thing I'd want to change is I don't like dark grout. I'd want to change the grout.

 I have a thing about cabinets over the stove too..I'd want a pretty hood there instead. 

But that is an easy fix.

 But all in all...it's a darling little kitchen.

 Nice bedroom...really like the windows in this home.

 Bathroom has been redone. I can't complain about anything here. 

I'd put up a fabulous Venetian mirror over the sink and call it done.

 Another bedroom.

 And another

 Backyard is a little lacking but everything else is so well done...

you could focus on making this wonderful since the house is turn key.

 It's a good size yard.

 Install some french doors somewhere here and add a big patio and this all would be awesome.

 

I think those garage doors are super cute! I'd LOVE to have some like them. 

Mine are hideous!

Well, if you are looking for a great house in a historic neighborhood - this is a nice one!

I know if I wasn't all snug in my own home...I'd be tempted!

Open House Sunday

Large Prairie Style House

in Putnam Heights in Oklahoma City

built 1920

Great big steps lead up to a large covered porch.

This home has a casual feel to it.

Colorful touches through out.

 This dining room is fun. I like everything except that table in front of the window.

The kitchen is full of color too. 

This family definitely has it's own style.

 Very tasteful bath.

cute baby room 

Absolutely love the gray subway tile! 

 I don't think this garden room is reaching it's full potential by far.

I'd love to have a room like this at my own home.

This is my favorite spot in this home.

The whole backyard is just lovely.

A perfect place to spend a late summer day.
