Open House Sunday

Tip Top Tudor

in Atlanta

built 1928

I love how this little tudor sits up high on it's foundation.

 Do you like that? I do.

 Extra special doorway

 Normally, I'd want to paint that fireplace white but it looks pretty darn nice in brown with these blue walls.

 Love that front door.

 I like the cute little window seats on either side of the fireplace.

 The curtains are very lacking in this room.They are too short and too skimpy.

 I love this view through the doorway.

Cute little dining room with a very casual table. Very Casual, indeed!

 If I lived here...I'd paint the kitchen cabinets white and change out the counter top and add a back splash.

 Love this big built in.

 Yes, paint those cabinets. I wonder what the original 1928 looked like?

I'm sure I would have liked that better.

 Wouldn't take much to make this kitchen great, though.

 Pretty serene master

 The wall of glass tiles is pretty...but I never would have done this in this home.

I would have wanted the original bathroom or if it had to be redone...I would have redone to look vintage.
But no one would say this isn't a nice bath.

 Love the original brass and glass door knobs.

 I love the headboard in this room complete with lanterns hanging.

Another modern bathroom. Do not like this one at all!

 sweet baby's room

 I kind of like the counter top in this bath...although again...I'd rather it had been done in a more classic style.

Family room built on the back would be a perfect dog room.

 small flagstone patio and what looks to be a very nice yard

I could work with this!

Mod Mix Monday #190

 via

I often think that double sinks are not very pretty in a bathroom. 

They usually involve a very large cabinet.

This is a great way to get around that dilemma.

This is two double sinks that still feels light and airy.

Love the marble...love the mirrors...love the basket...love the faucets...love the sconces.

Love it all!

Let's take a look at my favorites from last week's party...

Su of Butterfly and Bungalow gave us a tour of her sleeping porch.

I'd love to sleep on that bed and enjoy cool spring breezes...with the weenies of course!

 Jamie at So Much Better With Age shared her sources for her wonderful kitchen reno.

 Tabatha of Chic by Tab painted an old piece in a pretty shade of gray. 

Don't you love the gold pulls on this? I love gold with gray.

 Amy of Maison Decor showed us how to create this one of a kind floral chair.

Do you recognize what this is? Of course it's a miniature mannequin.

The sort that you display jewelry on...but look closely...do you really know what it is?

Or rather what it's made of? 

Diana of Adirondack Girl at Heart made this little mannequin with very ingenious household supplies.

Please join in this week's Mod Mix Monday!

Remember anything old made over to be new...anything new changed up to look old.

New and old together...

Sunday Open House

Stone Cottage

 built 1935

This little stone cottage is in the Hollywood neighborhood of Dallas, Texas.

 

 Oh...my I love the strip of green grass down the middle of the drive way, don't you?

 I love the color of the front door too. 

I think the landscaping could be improved but I imagine this is low maintenance.

 Very nice front porch...oh look across the street...more cute little cottages! 

Reminds me of my own neighborhood. Unfortunately, houses in my neighborhood have been selling 

so fast or selling by owner...and I have not been able to show any of late.

 A pretty little living room. If this house were mine, I'd paint the front door on the inside too.

If I bought this house, the first thing I'd change would be those cabinets on either side of the fireplace.

They just look like two big boxes. They need to fit the shape of the fireplace better. 

These detract from the fireplace.

 Of course I love the arched door way.

 Nice that the dining room has an arched ceiling just like the living room.

Love that.

Ok, this is kind of a crazy kitchen. The upper cabinets are rather unusual. 

I'd say I don't like them but if they were painted white...and had the right knobs on them...

I think they could be pretty great.

 Yep...this kitchen would be better in white.

 I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stove!!! Truly...I wish it were mine. 

But it needs a gorgeous hood over it. I don't like cabinets over stoves.

 Nice bedroom with door to the outside. I like that.

 Adore this bathroom! I love every little thing about it.

That sink! That mirror! The windows! The arch above the tub! The funny little cabinets!

I love it all.

 Another bedrom...hmmmm this one has an outside door too!

 Little half bath

 kids room...ok...least favorite room for me.

 I like those little chairs though.

 I'm guessing there is a little apartment attached to this garage. I'd make this my studio.

So wish I had that.

 Here we see two back doors! That's interesting.

Good idea for adding a deck out the back if you don't want to remove your back stoop.
