Open House Sunday

Tudor in Buckhead Neighborhood of Atlanta

built in 1929

This large tudor is brimming over with original details and lovely modernizations.

And the grounds surrounding it are like a beautiful park.

Enjoy!

 Quite the expanse of green lawn!

 Such a great front door under the shade of the portico! 

The paint colors and light fixtures add to the ambiance of this home.

I love those big blue pots there in the distance filled with boxwoods.

 Arches painted out in light grey highlight the features of this home without making the walls feel heavy.

 What do you think about these dark walls. 

Usually, I don't care for dark walls but I love them for this room.

There is not a thing I'd change about this room.

 Then in this den we have navy lacquered walls! 

Another choice I'd never think to do but I am really liking it quite a bit.

 I love those dark green velvet chairs in this room too. 

Doesn't this room almost feel you are under the sea?

 Here is the living room....Look at that row of arches! So quaint and pretty!

Love the nook the fireplace sits in...and that it's painted the dark blue.

 What a wonderful space! I love the very collected furnishings.

 What about this kitchen? Just about perfect, I'd say. 

Yes, this kitchen would do me just fine.

Love the beamed ceilings.

 Simple bath...I like that shelf over the toilet very much.

 What do you think about the wallpaper in this bedroom? It certainly modernizes the space.

 Ok, there is one thing in this bath I love. 

It's all pretty but I adore having a bathroom mirror in front of a window.

My cousin had a bathroom like this with a mirror in the middle of the window. 

When she bought the house we both didn't care for it but we soon changed our minds.

We both grew to love it. It gives you the best light to do your makeup and it's unusual.

This is a very pretty bathroom and that mirror just makes it for me.

 Another pretty bath. Lots of gray in this home.

 Another very traditional bedroom that is updated with the fabrics and rug.

 I'm not sure about this bath but then I'm not much of a green person...unless it's outside.

I do like the wallpaper pattern...just not the color.

 Can a drive way be pretty? Oh yes it can!

 The grounds around this house are just spectacular.

 Can you imagine taking a stroll through this every morning?

 Very very pretty little bridge over a stream.

 Lots of outdoor spaces to sit and enjoy the gardens.

 Just look at this patio area! A little over grown in just the right way.

 I love the color all the trim is painted on this house. 

This home just has space after beautiful space.

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

Tudor Cottage

 Excuse my inadequacies. I did not save the listing on this house.

I think it's in Atlanta but I am not sure. 

I would guess it was built in the early thirties. 

But even though I don't know the details, we can still enjoy a look.

 Charming front stoop

 I love the fireplace and cabinets in this home. They are so cottage perfect.

I wish the rug was neutral like sea grass and the walls not so yellow but other than that

I love this room. Oh...maybe a different coffee table too.

 The dining room is very brown town. Imagine this with a white dining room table at normal height.

Pub height is too informal. Wouldn't take much for this room to be stunning.

 I love all the windows in the kitchen!

 

 Sweet little bath. I love the art on the wall. Isn't that fun? 

Little goldfish swimming around!

 

I like the blue walls in the master.

 

 Lots of space outdoors!

 This backyard is not meeting it's full potential. It would be lots of fun for an avid gardener.

 Nice big deck to enjoy the nature on.

 I could live here in a heart beat.

I know Franklin would enjoy it...I'm sure there are lots of squirrels to chase. 

Have a great Sunday!
