Open House Sunday


Spanish Sunset
 built 1926
Oh...I do love a little spanish cottage. 
You don't see many of them around here but they have lots of them in California which is where this one is.
 There are so many special things about this one, I couldn't resist showing.
 This photo shows lots more details but makes it readily apparent how important professional photos are.
Those first two photos are stunners. 
 I love the big front patio. 
 Here we are back with photos taken at the magical part of the day. Sunset.
 Oh...I love bougainvillea! So wish it would survive here year round.
 Aren't those yellow pillows pretty on the white furniture?
They just make the room!
 Isn't that huge window nice? 
I love how light and bright this house is. 
Here's a news flash. 
I'm painting my walls just about this color.
Sherwin Williams Shoji White
I started painting Saturday morning.
I won't have a day off for awhile so it may be a week or two before it's done but I think I'm going to really like it.
I love those serpentine column details to the door arches.
 I'm doubting that the fireplace is original.
 Very modern furniture in the dining room.
I really think this room would be better with a chandelier.
 Modern furniture in the breakfast nook.
 Very nice galley kitchen.
 No complaints from me here about the kitchen except that it might be a little boring.
 I could cook in this space.
 Love the faucet and subway tile.
 Yes, I could cook on one of these.
 Matching hood over the stove...of course.
 Now this is dreamy....french doors leading from the master to the backyard.
 Bathroom is full of marble, penny and subway tile.
 That tub looks vintage. I wonder if it is?
 Another pretty bathroom.
 The backyard is a little boring Oh..wouldn't it be fun to create a beautiful outdoor area?
 Lovely tile steps
 Here we are back at that magic time of day that makes the house glow warmly.
 Such a pretty California Cottage.
