The outside of this house and the deer heads were the best thing about it. I would have run into the house very excited and then run back out as fast as I could!

This house couldn’t be less my style. Im sure it has great potential but the interior is one giant turn off for me.

Okay, the deer heads gotta go!! Hmpf. Love the brick drove…love the rich colors. Love so much of this, especially the front porch. I would so buy this home if I were rich (which I am not even close to being), elegant (which I am not even close to being) and had the furniture to fill it.
Love what you do!!

Hugs,
Sue

Ah Julia, why didn’t they check with you about the bathroom make overs before they listed the house. (Hollywood lights, big mirrors). I like this house best so far, but still not shellling out my pretend money yet. (I guess I could hire someone to strip all the wall paper). As a vegetarian, I was wondering where the rest of the deer was living

Pretty, like the mideval looking room with beams, but overall this house looks like it is suffering from multiple personalities.

Okay, check it out. I love the four poster bed, and the room it comes in. I detest the bathroom with the red wallpaper with the green leaves. Whose nightmare was that from??! A couple of the kitchen pictures are not wonderful, because they look so plain…just white cupboard doors and tan/taupe/whatever-you-call-it walls. (What IS that color, anyway?) Overall, I wouldn’t mind rattling around in that house, but I don’t think I’d pay that price for it. They’d have to consider my seriously low-ball offer first. So, fat chance.

I wonder if they can hear the noise from the 6 lane road that is behind their house? Or smell the water treatment plant that is less that 1000 ft northwest of the house (I love google maps).

I guess the deer heads go with the gun rack in the room with the pool table (sports room?)

SOLD! Yeah right, I wish! It’s gorgeous – not the decor, too much dark 80s wallpaper – but the bones of the place are lovely!

Oh my…
Deer heads??
More Wall paper?? (Do the people of Birmingham have a special affinity to wallpaper?)
A room with all curved furniture? (the one with the big screen TV)

I love the exterior and I love the beams in the oddly vacant room, the house has good bones, but needs a massive purging of the mishmash of styles and colors.
