Ahh..i'm gonna have to move away from the ''homely'' and counry look to accomodate mr.zzze's OCD with tidiness. I don't know how we're going to get past this one. Minimilist life for a few month then I'll have a room with so much junk and beautiful pretty things

Great houses if you're an exhibitionist

This is a house I designed. I worked with an architect for about a month designing this house. This was designed as an upscale modern house for a young growing family. 2 Bedroom, 2 bath, kitchen, family room, dining room, 2 car garage, etc. One side of the house has glass walls, the other side has stone walls. On the glass side, there's an indoor garden that connects to the outdoor garden, giving a feeling of spaciousness. The other side has stone walls, and gives a feeling of warmth and security. These two different sides of the house are highlighted by a roof design that splits into two different directions, opposite of a conventional roof.












But yeah, I did this from my Senior Project in High School. Out of 1200 points, I got a 98% "A" on the project.

Anyway, that's not for a couple more years, in the meantime- it's only a few more weeks before we start our hunt for an apartment! I'm excited. I already started looking at some pieces of furniture. We're on a real tight budget, but I'm being a good sport about it!, so I'm looking towards Ikea & Pier 1 to furnish our apartment. The main colors I'm looking at is wood and pure crisp white [pink &/or yellow accenting].

Our old house was a Cape! We liked that house, but sold it because we moved for work purposes. If you're on a budget, also check out unfinished furniture places. You can get better quality wood furniture and paint or stain it yourself.

Comfort, style, high ceilings, big windows, and lots of space: The most important things that my house has to have

I don't know why, but I've always loved paintings of a house than the actual house itself. If there was a painting of an actual house which I liked, I would always find the real place and every time get disappointed.......it just isn't the same!

Great idea! But how do I go about doing that? I never heard of such places before.

I LOVE Ethan Allen:


This house is sooo different that it's strangely cute:
