COTE DE TEXAS: THREE HOUSES: THREE CHOICES

THREE HOUSES: THREE CHOICES

 

I found these three houses for sale (actually one is a rental) in Houston – each completely and totally different.   Let’s pretend that money is not a object.  Which, if any, would be your dream house?

Enjoy!! 

 

 

House #1

hr3068307-1

Built in 2005, this Tudor inspired house designed by Tom Wilson, has it all.   It’s over 11,000 sq. ft. and if you have to ask the price, well – you know the saying.  Slate roof, Rocky Mountain hardware throughout, 5 to 6 bedrooms, wine cellar, two staircases – it has it all.  Located in River Oaks on a large corner lot.

The back yard – with a swimming pool off to the back.

 

 

hr3068307-15

And a pretty box garden with pond.

 

hr3068307-14

I like the planters at the corners of the pool.

 

hr3068307-3

The entry – limestone and mahogany.  You KNOW I love the seagrass going up the stairs!   And I love the library on the landing..

 

 

hr3068307-2

Just so beautiful.  That fireplace.   And I love those curtains!  A soft chintz paired with Conrad shades.  Love the accent chairs by the fireplace.

So, why does this appeal to me?  Let’s break it down.  Of course the architecture is gorgeous – tall ceilings, pretty windows, nice furniture and a wonderful fireplace – but forget the architecture for the moment and let’s just look at the furniture.  The room is large, but it’s filled, not spare.   The furniture helps make it look warm and cozy – instead of cold and empty.  So many houses that I saw today on the real estate web site had rooms this large, but they looked empty even when they were decorated.  There would be only one seating group or just a cursory second seating area.  Mostly, their windows weren’t covered.    Without the curtains and the two seating areas, this room would not look nearly as great as it does.  Adding the second seating arrangement in a room this size adds visual interest and a sense of coziness. 

Most people would try to stretch out one seating area to fill the room – but it’s the extra furniture and the window treatments that really makes it right.  Furniture doesn’t have to be expensive – you can add a sofa from Pottery Barn or Ikea,  along with a few extra chairs to achieve a similar effect in a large room.  Or buy a second hand sofa at a garage sale and reupholster it, or slipcover it.   There are so many options today, no matter what the budget.    

 

 

hr3068307-4

The dining room has a large French styled table and chairs.   And, simple seagrass underfoot.  I love the use of a simple product – like seagrass – juxtaposed against all the richness.  It helps keep it more balanced, and not so dressy.

 

hr3068307-5

The library is khaki colored with a mini print on the chairs.  More seagrass.  And notice the beautiful fire screen.  Love that.   Again, the furniture fits the space, fills the room perfectly.

 

 

hr3068307-6

The kitchen – I love the range hood with the 3 pewter plates above.  But I especially love the toile wallpapered ceiling.  That really is so fabulous and such a great idea!  Wrapping the ceiling with the wallpaper envelopes the room and truly makes it seems like a warm, cozy place.

 

hr3068307-7

Limestone floors and notice the wallpaper continued into the breakfast room, down the walls.   Pretty striped window shade.  What a beautiful place – and again, so warm and welcoming. 

 

hr3068307-8

The kitchen/breakfast room is my favorite room in the house – I love that fireplace, the curtains, the antique chair, the simple creamware on the table.  Who wouldn’t want to eat here?  It would be so romantic on a cold, rainy night, with the fireplace lit.   Love.

 

 

hr3068307-9

Screened in porch with darling patterned carpet and blue and white fabrics.   Another great fireplace with checked curtains.  And, another great space to spend time in!!

 

 

hr3068307-10

Wine cellar with a French table and chairs.  Obviously, they are collectors and probably use this room for wine tastings and dinner parties. 

 

Thought:   While looking at the houses for sale on HAR, I saw so many wine cellars in new houses and really what’s the point?  Those people aren’t all wine collectors.  Wine cellars have become bloated bars.  Builder’s shouldn’t put them in spec houses – how many of us really collect wine?  Wine cellars should be left for custom houses only.   In spec houses, they seem like wasted space. 

 

 

hr3068307-11

Home theatre.   Lately people are decorating their theatres more like a room than a movie theatre but if you have the room, why not?  I still can’t imagine how much fun it must be to have a real theatre in your house!!

 

 

hr3068307-12

The landing is warmed up with an assortment of rugs and books.  Love that bench with the tapestry on the top. 

Shoot!  No pictures of the master bedroom and bath!  Still, what a stunner this house is!  I love the décor – it’s not the typical Houston look.    No white slipcovers, no gray painted walls – instead this décor is perfect for the house, large with lots of wood.  The designer filled it up without making it look like a furniture store.  It’s warm and friendly – cozy and inviting – and beautiful!!!

 

 

 

 

House #2

image

Next, is an unattached townhouse in a very small complex built by one of my favorites – Southhampton Homes in Houston.   Built in 2005 and just under 4500 sq ft, there are 3-4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths.  Everything about this townhouse is pure charm.  From the garage doors, to the balcony with French doors, to the wood shutters, to the tile roof, this house just exudes a French sensibility.   To enter, go through the gate under the stucco arch.

 

image

The backyard is actually the front yard!  Through the arch you enter the covered patio and pool area.  The owners have decorated this outdoor room with gorgeous lanterns, pots, mirrors, and furniture.  Southampton Homes uses old materials in their houses – as seen here at the front door.   Notice the adorable lantern at the side of the door!!! 

 

 

 

image

The floor is brick which adds to the charm.  Notice the beams in the porch.

 

 

image

The townhouse is three floors – with the main living area on the second floor.  So, we’ll go there first.  You enter the front doors and go up the seagrass covered stairs to the main level.

 

 

image

The stairs lead to a second floor landing – where the dining room is in the middle.  When you reach the second floor, the living room is to the right and the kitchen is to the left.   Notice the pretty sconces and chandelier in the stairwell.   Let’s visit the living room first. 

 

 

 

image

A large antique stone mantel anchors the room.  Wood shutters cover two windows and curtains cover the others.  A striped slipcovered sofa is paired with two club chairs and two Swedish inspired Oly Studio chairs.  Twin Swedish chests flank the fireplace.  Love!

 

 

image

Close up view of the fabulous stone mantel. 

 

 

image

Looking towards the dining room on the right and on towards the kitchen.  Wood beams accent each room opening.  

 

 

image

Off the landing is the dining room, with a French table and chairs.  Matching consoles and mirrors flank the French door.  Along one wall is a framed mural.  Notice the wide planked wood floor!  I like the way the back wall is painted a soft blue to tie in with the mural.

 

 

image

Off the landing is the kitchen and breakfast sitting area.

 

 

image

Instead of a breakfast table, the owners use this as a sitting area.  Notice the aged tiles in this room – adds more charm.  The French doors on the left open to a balcony.  Antique settee and chair with two club chairs. 

 

 

image

The bar and cabinets are behind two sets of antique wood doors with original hardware – beautiful.  The counters are antique stone. 

 

 

 

image

No need for a large breakfast table – there is plenty of seating at the bar.  Love the beam and the open shelves.  Is this Houston or France???  Can I move in today?????

 

 

 

image

The powder room with its tiny, charming window – has an stone sink with Fortuny lights.  The back wall is painted in the soft eggshell blue. 

 

 

 

image

The master bedroom is on the third floor with a high ceiling.   It also has a fireplace. 

 

 

image

Cute bedding and fabrics in the greens and blues found throughout the house.  Through the arch is the bathroom and study.  Hardwoods with seagrass.

 

 

image

The study off the bedroom, with cute French chairs and an Oly Studio sofa.

 

 

 

image

Gorgeous white marble counters, floor, and shower.  Love the mirrored doors.

 

 

 

image

Even the closet has charm – with its arched doorway and window!

 

 

image

Two extra bedrooms – this one has the lime green stripes and checks with matching glass lamps. 

 

 

image

While this bedroom has twin antique headboards, and wall to wall seagrass. 

 

 

image

And looking the other direction to the street view.

 

 

 

image

This ensuite has subway tile and I love the way the owner painted the walls 1/2 gray to mimic a wainscot.  Love the hanging basket that holds extra towels.

 

 

image

And this bathroom has subway tile and tiled floor with muted striped painted walls.

 

 

image

Now, let’s take the main stairs back down to the first floor. 

 

 

 

image

One the first floor, past the front door is a large sitting area that overlooks the swimming pool.  Cute plaid rug and beautiful Fortuny light fixture. 

 

image

And looking the other direction – out the French doors to the swimming pool.  So charming!!!!

 

 

image

Through the antique doors – is a library, which could be a fourth bedroom, creating a teen suite downstairs (perfect for one child !!! yes!!!!!! )

 

 

image

This room is set up with a wall of shelves, making it a perfect library or study. 

 

 

image

And the bathroom, downstairs, with the green walls. 

 

 

image

Through double mirrored doors is the laundry room, with its tiled floors.

 

 

image

And another view of the laundry room, doubling as a coffee bar!

 

 

image

This townhouse is so charming, a bit of Provence in the Rice Village area.  It’s hard to recreate this look without the architecture.  Here, the architecture is so important to the vibe – the French doors, the shutters, the wide plank hardwood, the ancient tiled floors, the beams, the iron stairway, all the old doors and hardware, the stone mantels and countertops.   These owners used linens and cottons to decorate – nothing fancy – which suits the architecture perfectly.  Even the main living room looks comfortable enough for a Sunday spent watching football around a roaring fire.  Southampton Homes really know how to add elements to a house that make it special.  Each of their houses is unique and even their spec homes look incredibly custom.

 

House #3

And now for something completely different!

Elisabeth will be finished with college in another year and 1/2, so when she comes home, she likes to search on HAR for reasonably priced rent houses and apartments.  We like to look together and ooh and ah over all the cute redone houses in older neighborhoods – which is how I found this next property.  Located in the Heights, one of Houston’s oldest neighborhoods, this house is brand new.  It’s one of nine houses being built right next door to each other.  Most row houses in the Heights have a Galveston/New Orleans look to them, with back alleys where the garages are located.  Here’s an example of typical Heights new construction houses:

 image

Typically, a builder will buy up several lots and erect three, four, five row houses.   The front yards are often behind black iron gates, which add even more charm. 

 

image

Here, this builder bought two lots and built similar houses next door to each other.  Houses like these are remarkably affordable and are often finished very nicely, with marble and granite and hardwood floors.    Other builders choose to renovate the small Craftsman style bungalow that are original to the neighborhood.

 

 

image

The Heights neighborhood is being revitalized at a fast pace, who could resist a house like this?  So charming and so perfect? 

 

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a house for sale that was furnished.  Most were new and so, were empty.   But I did find something for rent that made me stop and I kept going back to it for another look.

 

 

image

Instead of building a faux Greek Revival house, Shade House Development – the design firm of Holden Shannon and Matthew and Tina Ford, bought a plot of land in the Heights.  The project  - called Row on 25th – will eventually house nine rental houses.   For more information on Shade House Development, see their web site HERE

 

 

image

Here you can see the sidewalk and the gravel front of the bungalows.   Tall grasses take the place of a manicured, mowed lawn.  The houses aren’t built in a straight line – you can see here how they placed either forward or back  to create a sense of rhythm.   And, each house is painted a slightly different shade.   

 

 

 

hr3039490-20

The grass changes with the seasons.  Here, the grass is summer green.

 

harvest 25

And here, in winter, the grass goes dormant.    This looks like a painting, doesn’t it?

 

 

hr3039490-21

The concrete and gravel front walk that leads to the row of houses.  Built this year, each house has a private courtyard, a 2 car garage, and each is just under 2,000 sq. ft. 

 

 

 

 

 

image

Inside the houses are very minimalist, without any superfluous trim, yet the fixtures are surprisingly luxe.   Here the living room is divided by a wall from the kitchen/dining area.   The floors are white (Ash) as are the walls.

 

 

image

While the builders chose to furnish their rentals with mod choices, I kept thinking if I lived here, I would put in antiques, Swedish gray ones along with French gilt wood, and add a chandelier or two.   I could see putting a huge tapestry on that wall, or maybe a few old portraits or a mirror and chest like this:

 

A Swedish chest and ironstone  (Tone on Tone) would look fabulous on the dividing wall.

 

image

I would add white slipcovered sofas and a few antique chairs or two.  Gilt would look so good with the white walls.

 

 

image

Maybe a few gilt French chairs and a black coffee table, and gray and white striped pillows, along with a seagrass rug – for texture.

 

 

 

 

image

A zebra rug would add needed texture against the white floors, like this.   Add some white taffeta curtains for some quiet glamour.

 

image

I envision something like the bungalow that Houstonian artist Salle Werner-Vaughn created.  She created an ethereal living space in a series of old houses right near the Heights.  She sparingly furnished the light-filled house with a French chair here, a French table there.  

 

hr3039490-8

The bungalow’s staircase, stripped to the bare essentials.

 

 

 

hr3039490-12

The houses were built using “green” materials.

 

 

image

The kitchen is minimal, but luxe.  There is a Subzero refrigerator, an Asko dishwasher, and a Bertzazzoni range.  Wow.

 

 

image

Again, the builder has chosen to furnish the bungalow with modern furniture, but I would go in the complete opposite direction. 

 

 

 

image

I would use a white wood table and antique chairs in the kitchen/dining area.

 

 

image

A large table would double as an island.  Add urns and busts for a classical look.

 

 

 

 

image

Creamware, silver, and an antique Swedish sofa, or a copy of one!!

 

 

 

 

antiquemirror

Perhaps add a gilt and painted console to create a bar.   Hang sconces and a portrait, and pair with an assortment of antique French chairs.

 

 

 

image

The kitchen.  It’s amazing how much you can get in a small space.  The table should do double duty as an island to prepare the food at.  Want to hide the kitchen?  Run a wire from wall to wall and hang fabric from it.   This way you could hide the kitchen altogether when entertaining.

 

 

image

More ideas for the kitchen/dining area.   Add a wood table, a sofa, a sculpture, a candelabra, and a portrait to create an 18th century feel in a 21st century space.

 

 

image

Let a Swedish sofa acts as a banquette, taking the place of several chairs. 

 

hr3039490-7

The powder room.  

 

 

 

Instead of the red contemporary mirror – put in a beautiful Venetian one.   They look surprisingly good mixed with modern fixtures.

 

 

image

No frills stairs.  But, wouldn’t a black and white striped runner look great here?

 

 

 

Like this.

 

Or something like this – in Renea Abbott’s townhouse.

 

 

 

image

There are 3 bedrooms upstairs.

 

 

hr3039490-19

Upstairs, the bedrooms are just as the rooms downstairs with white Ash floors and walls.

 

image

The upstairs hallway.

 

 

The hallway would make a great gallery wall for a row of photographs or paintings. 

 

 

image

While most of the Row houses have the white Ash flooring, some

have reclaimed wood planks – your choice. 

 

 

hr3039490-14

The master bedroom has a high ceiling.

 

 

hr3039490-13

There is a series of hanging lights – I would probably take those down and replace them with one chandelier. 

 

 

image

White bedding, a grisaille mural, with a gilt French chair.   A white cowskin rug.   Not much else is needed.

 

 

image

A dark French armoire would look great against the white walls and bedding and gilt accents.

 

 

image

In the guest room – do what Trouvais did in her new one – using the same bed that my daughter Elisabeth has from Anthropologie, Trouvais paired West Elm stripes and Belle Notte linens with hand dyed velvet.  Gorgeous!!!  What a great look with a minimalist background. HERE.

 

 

image

Paint a wainscot of gray, pair with a gilt mirror and antique table and chandelier.

 

 

hr3039490-15

The master bathroom has limestone shower and floors.

 

 

hr3039490-16

Close up of the stone counters.

 

I really like this bungalow and would love to help my daughter decorate it – if only she was already graduated and looking for a house - but that’s a few years away.  It’s fun to dream a bit.  All her life, Elisabeth has been obsessed with clothes.  Her first temper tantrum was when she wasn’t yet two.  I always bought her black and white saddle oxfords to wear with white leotards or socks.  Each time her foot would grow, I’d just get her a new, bigger pair.  That is, until she went with me and saw a pair of red sequined shoes.  I had to pick her off the floor, she was so hysterical that I was going to buy those ugly saddle oxfords for her again!   Of course, I didn’t. 

Her love of clothes never wavered, ever.  Until she got her first apartment.   And now, she’s become obsessed about decorating, which is great for me.  We look at houses on HAR and pinterest until the wee hours of the morn and talk about her love of dark navy walls a-la Mary McDonald, who is her new style guru.  It’s fun to look at pictures and dream and scheme.  It doesn’t cost a dime and it’s harmless.  

That’s what I had planned for this post -  looking at pretty houses and dreaming.  Was there one of these three houses that appealed to you – money no object?  Did you like the mega mansion with the sky high price tag?  Or did you flip over the Provencal townhouse, like I did?   Or, do you have you own fantasies about how you would decorate the minimalist bungalow, like Elisabeth does? 

Tell me your pick – if any!!!

  1. no 3 would suit me just fine. I do love the minimal decor but I also love what you have added. All that white....wow!

  2. House No. 1 was lovely, but there was way too much stained wood for my taste. The style, grounds and landscape have great potential.
    House No. 3 was very appealing (the New Orleans style of course), but the minimalist version left me very cold. While the interior gives
    a buyer a lot of decorative options, the sterile exterior is not very appealing. It is likely that covenants and restrictions would prohibit
    very much improvement to the exterior, including landscaping. Ultimately, I would pass on all three even if money were no object. Great post, by the way.

    1. I meant to say also that the second townhouse was lovely, but I would like to see it empty. It was hard getting past the
      decor and clutter, but it has great potential. It could be a great place for Elizabeth.

  3. Even though there are no pictures of the interior of the homes in the Heights neighborhood,I would love to live in one of those or one of the bungalows would suit me just fine. I'm in love with the reclaimed wood floors.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I would love no. 3 with a mix of the builder's picks and yours. I hate to say hate but I really hated no. 1.
    My daughter and I sometimes indulge in internet dream decorating too. Good bonding time.

  5. Home #2 won my heart...wonderful French feel, indoors and out.
    How creative...using a perhaps French grape harvest basket for towels in the bath.
    And the pair of Swedish chests flanking the stone fireplace mantle...worked so well with their shape and color.
    Too many magnificent features to mention...don't know how the owners could leave.

    ReplyDelete
  6. The last one, but I'd furnish it more like you would. I am not one for minimalism!

    So glad you used Tone on Tone's picture. He's the most darling man! We all had dinner at my house over the summer!

    1. Thank you, Meg!! Tom and I loved meeting you and Connor :)

    2. Amen to your assessment of Loi, Meg. And I would love to add some of Tone on Tone's Swedish and Danish and French finds to my house. Now on to this post, enjoy dreaming with your daughter, Joni. My daughters and I do the same. I love the decor of the first house, but agree with Loi in the next post--bleach and paint some of the dark wood. Next, you are exactly on point, the grand house has a wonderfully cozy ambience because of just the right amount and scale and upholstery of the furniture. Besides the scale and subject matter of the paintings added to the warmth--not to mention the drapes. (I am in love with the linen chintz in the living room!) And the rugs. With you, I adore the library on the landing and the tapestry on the bench. (I wonder whether the owners will be able to use things of this scale in their next home? And further, why they must move after only living in such a wonderful home for only seven years? This home deserves to be generational! Again, Joni, your long and detailed posts are fabulous and so interactive! Thank you for all your work!

  7. Hi, Joni - Happy New Year! The first house!!! For the beautiful gardens, gorgeous paneling and amazing architecture!! I would keep some of the dark paneling and bleach or paint some of it. Perhaps bleach the beams and cabinetry in the kitchen. Also my favorite room. I love the eating area in front of the fireplace. The house is huge, but it feels warm and soulful.
    Thank you for sourcing our pieces :)
    Cheers to a fabulous 2013!

  8. Also, I love the bleached and whitewashed white ash floors in the Shade House Development. They are a nice alternative to white oak, which looks great bleached. I don't recommend bleaching red oak....can turn pink.

  9. Hi, While fun to look at, none of these homes inspired me enough to think about (dream) what it would be like to actually live in one. The first house, well done all right, is to big and excessive for my taste - even if I won the lottery, I would never build a home like this one. The second place...elements were good enough - although the kitchen was awful! But, I would never want to live in that sort of setting - I prefer a detached home in and of itself. And, at my age (though not old!) I have to think about all those steps - 3 stories...ugh. The 3rd place...I did not like at all - like living in a "pretend" neighborhood...no history. All house the same. I think I would dislike this one the most.

    Thanks for the post..something to think about...I have always wanted to live in a old commercial building - loft space - old school, library, church...I just think that would be a design challenge and the architecture would be cool to design around.

  10. Also, it is fun to dream, especially if you love homes as much a we do! I have, on occasion, looked at NYC townhouses and apartments for sale via Stribling via NYSD - I did spot an adorable apartment - needs to be updated although Mark Hampton did it years ago. You enter the foyer and then go up a flight of stairs to the apartment( so New York) - 6 million. I could live there! Fun to dream!

  11. Loved the land that came with house #1. LOVED the ambiance and architectural details of house/condo #2, but would feel very hemmed in because it is a condo. #3, sorry, but they look like the storage sheds people buy to but BEHIND their garages so no one can see them. In spite of their "greeness", the resale value on those oversized storage sheds will be nearly zero in a few years. Not a good investment for a young woman starting out.

    ReplyDelete
  12. If I were truly choosing my dream home…it would be choice #1 with you and Loi as the designers! But, believe it or not…I would rather pick the last of the choices….the Shade House Development because it's fun, innovative and creative all at the same time! it reminds me of our beach home…in the Bungaloos mind you…and it definitely reminds me of all of the homes that I look at with my daughter that lives in New Orleans! The other two choices are fabulous and one would think I would choose that…not now that I am older and want to be helping my children have exciting and fun and creative lives. ( and perhaps I realize now just how fun it is to be young and house hunting!) Thanks for sharing these choices and thanks again for tagging me in your post on Ann. I truly appreciate it!

  13. The first home was stunning and quite a surprise for Houston!

    Then you showed the Provencial home and my heart melted. It's everything I dream of, it's the inspiration for what I wish I could do and it's a pleasure to study it.

    I'm like you and would put old pieces in the stark rental. I like the vision of the builder with the large windows and the seasonal grasses. My husband would flip over the huge, bare windows; they go against his very private nature!

    My mother and I have used magnifying glasses to look at magazines for years. We've talked hours on end about the tiniest details. She's in her 70's, lives in far west Texas and I'm in Houston but a couple of times a week we share a cup of coffee (over the phone) and discuss the decorating books she's checked out of the library and her favorite shows on HGTV. Decorating and appreciating make the miles disappear!

  14. All the houses are stunning! But, I love your ideas the best- I can see it now! What great vision you have.

  15. I have been in the first house on the azalea trail one year. It was lovely. Since I live in Houston, I am always intrigued when you do these posts. Fascinating concept on those houses in the Heights. Thanks for sharing Joni and Happy New Year!!!

  16. Hi Joni! I tried to find an email address for you but couldn't. My niece just purchased a house in San Antonio and is anxious to find someone to help her decorate it, and there may be some renovations needed. Do you know anyone there you could recommend? Of course, if you worked that far away, I'd love to recommend YOU! Thanks!

  17. I love house #2, but I also love #3. I love French and Swedish style. The 3rd house felt Swedish modern which is the only modern I like.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Reading this in bed whilst it rains outside, typical UK weather - this post lets you dream for sure. Love #1 as it was detached and had lots of outside space, but for charm and more important, character, it has to be #2.So warm, cosy and pretty and such attention to detail.#3 would be ideal for young people starting on the property ladder, but your choice of decor much warmer.Why do people automatically pair a modern house with stark modern interiors, sometimes the opposite as in this case would work much better.
    Love the post - keep them coming Joni!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think I remember driving by the first home in River Oaks, but who knows since there are so many tudors! The house was well done inside to balance all of that dark woodwork, but it's still a little dark and austere for my taste. I love The Heights so even though there's no home pictured I'd take one in a heartbeat.

    ReplyDelete
  20. No.3, no question, no hesitation. Might have something to do with New Orleans being my hometown and I miss it bunches! I lived in Houston for 3 years and was very happy there; had a friend living in The Heights too! It's nice to dream, isn't it...

  21. House #2 is so charming and well done, although I don't think I could live in a townhouse...I like houses on one level. The exterior of the houses in the Heights are perfect. The modern bungalows are too stark on the exterior, but the starkness works on the interior with your suggestions for gilt and chandeliers and Loi's Gustavian furniture. High drama.

  22. Love house 1 - beautiful architecture and interior design. We are moving today to Chadds Ford, PA from NJ to a home that is not my dream - owned by an older couple who made it look like Florida inside. Just awful. My dream is to have you there by my side helping me decide what to do!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Definitely house #2....I love everything about it! The bungalow's are adorable and perfect for a young woman like your daughter! Love, love this post Joni!

    ReplyDelete
  24. None of the 3 would suit my life right now, but my husband and I talk about living in a loft or townhouse when we are empty nesters. Although I love to garden, the thought of minimal yard upkeep is appealing. Loved your ideas for #3. And, I loved the painted wainscot. I might have to steal that idea.

    Thanks for another great post!

    ReplyDelete
  25. House #1 is too large and excessive. Also, I would not choose so much dark wood. I did think the breakfast room was charming.
    House #3 is too austere on the exterior and interior. Like other posters, I would choose Joni's interior ideas. But, I still would not want to live in one of these houses.
    House #2 was more appealing, but, the fact that it is on three levels would nix it for me.

    This was a great post and the three houses were fun to see. And, it was nice to realize, that I would choose my own house over all three!

  26. Well, if money were no object, I'd buy all three! Have lavish parties and events at the main, super large house, work from the little bungalow with the modern finishes, although, I'd have to hire you to come and decorate it for me, and live 80% of the time in the townhouse. Something about that townhouse - it's really inviting. Great post Joni! And you're absolutely right! No harm in scheming, and it'll help you and Elisabeth get down some must-have ideas before she's back and ready to go house hunting!

  27. I prefer #1. Actually, I love it. What was that two or three tear downs for the one? I love the large lot, not for the yard but for the distance from neighbors, the architecture and most of the interior. I do prefer a light and bright kitchen instead. But why do builders here in the south keep putting fireplaces, and so many in homes? What a waste. Although, on recent days a fire feels great. I just think that a builder/designer should come up with a new focal point of a room instead of a fireplace.
    I appreciate aspects of the others but would not like living on three levels. There are days that I wish I were a minimalist.

    1. That was what my husband and I thought before we bought our townhouse! It was a custom build on a corner lot with a wraparound garden and had everything on our "need" list, plus virtually everything on our "want" list we couldn't pass it up. I was amazed how it feels virtually the same to go up two flights of stairs vs. the one in my childhood home. I will admit that we are young and healthy, and my mother did have some comments after twisting her knee on the tennis court, then coming over to my house. So, that likely makes a difference. But we love the minimal grounds maintenance and the "lock & leave" capability. I'm glad every day that we went for it.

  28. The foyer in House #1 is jaw dropping!! Wow! So many gorgeous architectural details...but House #2 seems like a more relaxed and livable space. House 3# is too minimal for my taste, but very sophisticated!

  29. before praising this wonderful collection, I say don't try to use a table for an island. A work island should be work island height unless you want to kill yourself. I really enjoyed this post, especially the third, which is like a scapbook of best ideas, and the second is too die for but kind of frustrates me, because when you build or remodel, your have a hard time being patient enough to spend years finding all those antique pieces.Time is usually the essence of such a project. just the floors would have been enough to suit me. the first one was done really well, but there is not enough paint in home depot to cover that wood. Think of that pretty toile with the wood painted out, how light and airee that room would be. and the stairs look like something out of Giant, which has some appeal, but one would get tired of all that wood. It would be nice to have an antiqued or rustic finish on some of that wood, and maybe leave wood in one or two rooms, and paint the rest out

  30. You've outdone yourself with your ideas for the bungalows. I love the combination of clean, modern lines with French and Gustavian classic furniture and accessories. The first two houses didn't appeal to me--both felt overdone. But, I don't think I'd choose to live in any of them. I agree with Susan--I would choose my own house, although with some of your decorating ideas. Thanks for the post.

  32. I loved this post, what a way to have my coffee ! I loved all three, but #2 would be for me hands down. I would feel like I needed to whisper and tip-toe in the first home, but I did love it. It was just too large! The 3rd would be perfect if you did the decorating, but #2 was the best. Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  33. Joni for the super dream house # 2 because # 1 has too much dark stained wood. If I could see the surrounding, I can see #3 as a possibility. The minimalist lines give a blank slate for antiques and all things French!

  42. I totally flipped over the townhouse. Move me in! And I agree absolutely with your design ideas for #3. Love your design ideas. Love 'em. The cool thing about #1 is that the owners apparently have both loads of money AND great taste. Adore the fireplaces. But #2 is the clear winner of my heart! Great post, Joni! I will study #2 over and over again. So very beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  43. If money were no object, I wouldn't buy any of them! I'd build something wonderful.

    The first house is too large and has way too much dark stained wood for my taste. That said, I think it is beautifully constructed, decorated and landscaped, with exactly the right amount and style of furniture and accessories. Kudos to the interior designer!

    The townhouse has some furniture that I liked, but the architecture isn't my taste.

    And the third house looks like a garden shed! Except for the beautiful ash floors, there's absolutely nothing about it that appeals to me.

    However, I absolutely love the pictures of the Heights houses that have a Galveston/New Orleans look! I don't know what they look like inside, but I'd take one of them based on the outside alone!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Well, if I was choosing a dream house, money no object, it wouldn't be in Houston. Just sayin' ;-) Despite the impressiveness of #1, it does look cozy and welcoming - hard to do with such grand spaces. But WAY too much house for my tastes. I think #2 is adorable - love the old architectural elements and the decor, but I would neither want a townhouse nor three stories (getting too old, darnit). Number 3 is a stretch for me; I'm not a modernist. I don't like the lack of privacy both indoors and out, or so many in a row virtually just alike. I could imagine one of these units as a vacation house perhaps in a mountain meadow or an isolated stretch of rocky coast, or somewhere with an encompassing view to put that oversized window to good use, and where you wouldn't have to worry about privacy. I would have the reclaimed floors and mix in distressed antiques and time worn or primitive wood pieces in warm wood tones to counteract all the white. I'd try to balance the white minimalism with wabi-sabi, like Axel Vervoordt might do. Like you, I'm always house dreaming in my favorite locale and love searching the real estate sites. No daughter to share with, but my sons are used to my sending them houses to look at, but they don't really get into decorating, and neither do my daughters-in-law, which is mildly frustrating for me, as I'm all about it. Oh well. I have hopes for my granddaughter, but she's only nine months old!

House #2 is adorable and more what I would want now a days. I kept wanting to add moulding to house #3.

  58. 1st house reminds me of a well-appointed RV. Did you see the show about outrageous boats? Most of the boats looked like the 1st house. Odd to see a boat, house, RV all in the mega $$$ range looking like the RV. Of course with the lottery I would take all 3 & redecorate ! And add a nice plane. An island too.

    Ooooooh the house with pool & patio grill/plastic cover on view from the interior living room. Puppet Barbuda sees these things. Such an easy fix with antique hinged shutters.

  59. what an enjoyable post, I love the dark trim in the first house. Unfortunately the only mahogany in my house is my lovely front door with beveled glass insert; my trim is stained pine (very last century but I love it). I could easily live in one of the town homes, what a great development. The bungalows were intriguing; not my style but with your vision I could see myself in one if I had to live in the city. Your eye for detail and presentation are one reason I so enjoy this blog. My oldest daughter will be heading off to college next fall and I can't tell you how many pairs of sparklely shoes I have bought, red, gold and even cream ones. This year I saw Target had them in women's sizes! Happy New Year to you lovely lady.

  60. I had a blast!!
    HATED the first one...tooo much wood...goodness.

    No way on the third UNLESS I was single and young. It would be perfect for your daughter. I love her bed and how they dressed it.

  63. Great fun to see these three housing choices! I wouldn't choose any of the three myself as is--I love a BIG house and generous lot with lots of windows but the first one is too dark inside with the stained moldings for me. Wouldn't choose House #2 because my days of living in a townhouse are over. I did that and we like more natural light that you can get in a townhouse. My favorite would be the bones of the first but with the decor that you recommended for House #3. I LOVED the images that you showed of the gray and gilt and French antiques. So pretty to me and would be perfect if we could marry that decor with the bones of House #1.

    Is that too much to ask for this fantasy exercise?

  64. ATTENTION ALL JONI FANS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA- While trolling Craigslist on my lunchbreak, I came across a lovely French settee just posted this morning in the Seal Beach area (405 and Wardlow). The wood appears to be walnut. Love the interesting shape and it looks really compfy. Wonderful in front of a fireplace, at the end of a bed or in a large masterbath. The upholstery appears to be in great shape (cushions might need a little restuffing or fluffing if they are down filled). If it were mine, I would carefully remove the gimp then paint the frame a soft white or perhaps a very light grey. Then I would replace the gimp.

    However, it is not mine and I am not the one selling it, so that is all I know. Please check it out! If you buy it, I would love to see what YOU do with it. Please contact me by email. Under Joni's tutelage it should be wonderful. Ooo,la,la!

  65. Looks like I am on a "sette" jag today. Mon Dieu! For you folks in Central CA, here is a settee to try on for size.

    http://modesto.craigslist.org/atq/3525306275.html

    I love the beautifully carved ribbons and bows along the back. This is definately an antique, probably from the late 1800's. Such intricate carving suggests walnut. However, from the back, the wood looks like pine, so, who knows! Absolutely ghastly fabric. What were they thinking? However, the stuffing and seats seem to be in good shape and the price is right. It would be lovely redone in a natural linen with French nail heads. Sigh...I wish I had an antique store.

    Would love to see what someone does with it!

    Happy shopping, Charlotte

  66. I'm surprised by how much I like the townhouse, but I do love seeing Tom Wilson's work. He was the architect for my parents very modern house in West U 20 years ago. It's amazing to see how many different things he can do well. I'd hire him. Would love to have one of his signature screen porches!

  67. I love the first two homes - a LOT!! The size of the first one is great for a family like ours, but there are some features and details on the inside of the second home that I like better - especially in the kitchen area. The one thing I don't care for on the second home is the way the driveway and arch almost hide the entry. I love what they have in the entry but just don't like that it's so hidden like that - my parents live next to a house like that and it always gave me the creeps going over there at night because I was afraid someone was hiding behind there (chicken, I know). The neighbor's home was also set very far below street level and was secluded - too secluded for my taste. On the third home, the modern one, if it were furnished the way you envisioned it, then I would like it. I don't care for the super modern, minimalist furnishings. I do like the series of 4 lights hanging from the tall ceilings though...but I would like them better in the hallway not there in the bedroom. The single chandelier that you suggest sounds way better! What a fun tour of homes!!

  68. To furnish the rented "bungalows" with style (on a renter's budget) you need some good pieces at reasonable prices. Karina Gentinetta out of New Orleans has some gorgeous pieces on 1st Dibs. http://karinagentinetta.1stdibs.com/store/furniture_item_detail.php?id=727142 However, buy a few of her pieces and you will have spent enough to make a down payment on your OWN bungalow.

    Yesterday afternoon on my way to Staples, I took a quick spin through Granny's Attic in Temecula (about 1/2 way between L.A. and San Diego). To my surprise, one of the dealers had a couch whose frame was virtually identical to the beautiful couch from Ms. Gentinetta featured on this link. However, the couch at Granny's attic would need to be recovered or at least cleaned. While the fabric is in excellent condition and the cushion appears to be down filled, one notices an elusive eau de chat. For $600 plus the cost of changing the frame color and perhaps just having the couch fabric cleaned, you can have a beautiful curvy, French (or Italian) styled couch for under $1,000.

    By the way, on the same trip, I found two gorgeous French styled, white washed chairs with natural linen seats and French nail trim - $185 each. Very solid construction but sized for a smaller woman (probably around 5 feet tall). Perfect for a dressing table, in a small bedroom or bathroom. Another booth had a Venetian mirror identical to the one in the bathroom in House #2 at a cost of ~$79.

    Ooo, la, la!

    Anyone want photos? Email me. I don't work for Granny's Attic but I frequently find a diamond among the dross and I am happy to help fellow decorating addicts.

  74. Joni I guess I'm getting old, but all I could think of with the mega mansion is how it is jut too much space. I picture my husband and I rambling in there. I like my space, but that is too much for me at this point, though one of my best friends keeps adding on and adding on to her house for who knows what reason other than she loves a project and likes a great big house. She grew up in one that dwarfs her current one and probably this one featured, too. I, on the other hand, prefer livable spaces and the warmth of square rooms in which you can't hold a ball!

    I Iiked a lot of things about the townhouse, especially the unique features they incorporated, but they need a round dining room table desperately. That room was just a bit too small. I would rather have less bedrooms and a bigger living room and dining room for entertaining. I loved those doors in the kitchen. So neat, and the door outside and the light you liked. All wonderful. I liked the steel railing, but I would have preferred one slightly different. I am a huge lover of steel banisters/ballustrades on a staircase.

    Believe it or not, I loved the third, too. I can definitely see that space transformed with antiques, and I can also see it with a good mix of absract art and other pieces we have. I would love to gallery some of those walls. If I were younger, I could go for something like that. I'm too old and set in my ways now and pretty much of a traditinalist.

    One thing I have got to mention is that the older I get, the more I see the value of a one-story house. We've always had two stories, but I see the advantages of the other now. But, and this is a big qualifier, I cannot stand slab foundations as they are unforgiving on a daily basis and downright cruel in a fall. So I would probably opt for life in a rehabbed older building than in something brand new that didn't take that into consideration. I also like architectural elements which most new construction is sadly lacking if you don't build it yourself.

    I can't wait to see what Elisabeth does when she finishes school. I bet she goes traditional in the long run.

    This was fun!

    XO,

  76. After re-reading this post, I find it more amusing all the time. The minimalist, clapboard "bungalows" look like something dropped off by FEMA for hurricane victims. Is FEMA finally planning ahead? You have had several Dear Miss Cote De Texas posts over the last year where homeowners complained about having to do "corrective" decorating to inject life into a bland and/or badly designed home. I know, as decorators, we like to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. However, why encourage anyone, especailly developers, to create a sow's ears in the first place?

    By the way, a "bungalow" is one story house with a low pitched roof. These oversized storage sheds really don't qualify for ANY time-honored architectural category.

  78. I'd go with the middle place although I am really surprised at how much I liked the ultra-spare modern box houses at the end. I think I would furnish them in French/Swedish style, or maybe a bit of Jeffrey Alan Mark or Kathryn Ireland style. Yes, pleasantly surprised by those box houses.

  79. I know that house number two is filled with wonderful architecture, and I love that about it. However, everyone is remarking that it is "just the right size" or "much more cozy and manageable", etc. Perhaps compared to the monstrosity that is house number one, it is. But it is still 4500 sq. ft.! That's not a small, manageable size to me. That's a big townhouse. It doesn't look huge because the rooms are sized smaller, but there must be a lot of rooms. Too much work for me.
