Does anyone happen to know the paint colors used in this home, particularly the gold in the upstairs hallway? Love that color!

Hi Julia

This house was NOTHING like I thought it would be inside. What is with all the new home having the same iron staircase railing?? How does that even go in this house? The guest room was cute and I liked the hearth room fireplace, but I would probably take the range out of the kitchen and run

Pass!

Love this exterior but the interior is unexpected with the style of the exterior. Didn’t care for that.

This totally reminded me of a bachelor pad – it looks very nice, but has a very masculine feel to me. The au pair suite was neat – I’ve never seen one of those. But I’d have to pass on this one. It doesn’t have to be girly, just not so masculine looking.

Oh, the music room was a cool touch!

Wow, this is the most over-decorated show-house I’ve ever seen! Looking through that, it’s not a bad house.

Although, as others have mentioned the inside doesn’t exactly meet the inside style. I liked the stove surround, it is pretty and not something you’d find in every other house. But, that black sink in the powder room? You should have another “what room is different than everything else” post.

I kinda liked this one. I’d have to redo the kitchen (standard reservation-making kitchen with multiple grease/dust traps, but it just seems more livable to my eye. Problems mainly with the powder room (what’s up with that?), and the oversized porch on front–Scale is wrong.

Love the music room and the warm feel of the entire place.

Maybe not my dream house, but the best of the tour so far.

I’d buy it, I suppose.

I think it’s a little bit too country for my liking. The guest bedroom kinda did me in.

oh my gosh mrslimestone, I was thinking the same thing! ‘hmmm, I think you were going for treble clefs, but you ended up with dollar signs…’

At least they’re being up front about things I guess!

I do love the shade of blue in the au pair room.

hmmm. I’m gonna sleep on it. I was surprised to see the black in the kitchen, but I could probably paint right over that while the kids are napping. I’d have to call the contractor to fix up the powder room and switch out the sink vanity. Then I’d have a fantastic garage sale with all the decorations I’m going to take down off the walls and sell for $5 each.

Lovvvvvvvvve house. Quincy, I’m sorry the $1.7 mill house isn’t nice enough for you to be a guest in. I wonder what kind of homes your friends live in!

The powder room – what in the world. The black fixtures are bad. And I don’t like how you can see the pipes under the sink.. And it looks like there’s a whole in the wall. LOL. The stream thing in the front is cute. And I think it’s funny that they have that ladder thing in the music room even though the bookcases aren’t very tall.
