The interior living areas are conceived as wooden volumes nestled within an outer stucco “shell”.

Home tours, part 2

<p>Hello friends and welcome to the (almost) weekend! I’m back today to finish up the <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/10/home-tours-part-1.html">homearama tours</a> I first shared with you earlier this week. Have you been waiting? :) </p> <p>The last two houses were the ones I liked best – the third was my favorite exterior and the last was my favorite design/decor. Let’s take a look shall we? You all said not to skimp on the photos so I’m including more this time. Sit down with your coffee or Pepsi and enjoy! </p> <p>The third home had a huge front porch – I was smitten: </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcRo4B-zuhLx8btFwSyiI5o4rWZZwGqB-3QM1rw9T5YETLg16jNsbBItChROY4Ht_T7rWiQP8hvhSBgTV4BEth40LdUnX6TyZGIpFJpRrShOmJXDgx6J9PHX8TSielGV3OzRI9ArCRB94/s1600-h/IMG_8467%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZXt3J7q3ch3ggLwOzhRI992k4DXm1ZrQ0noxjt_IWZdZrPXhde_GxjMrjCxpHeK6PF6WjcwaUEPfyFQhu9JbnYlqb_FiojrRprTGovOgaFzQwXJiSp_SjTQCm7Jxx0admdHTF4mEPjg8/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="" width="450" /></a></p> <p>Loved the big wide steps and the glass doors!

You walk in and could go straight to main living area or go off to the side to an office that then continued on to a flex space. That could be used as a guest room I guess, or an in laws suite. There was a full bath connected and then a long hall down from that:</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_mg7iWDoulpDP2-UAyi8DnGhHgF91oiujVY5ph4gmUwNPivMNRONolVCL7RYjXp8MzlvwvjN_4SIWFmw4MoGO7PDrsXbqAHnWEew8k_bvw1FTbiFkUDK5RsB1fQLbktWNOJ7DiYrfweE/s1600-h/IMG_8472%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="planked walls hallway" border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcn4ipCifqKJMVugvHR2etHY3JYzWA1NyCGMDSMDKj85KNDgqf2VZpDHqBe3NMEOR97i5dVqMRAEykdWWieiVeb1lI1CXzJoYxN1bOSjq9UwLIOaDeVRrHx4F26QlkOmZbE6jxMnH9FkY/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="planked walls hallway" width="450" /></a></p> <p>LOVED that hallway with all the windows and the wood trim. Delish. </p> <p>Off that hallway was the laundry room, which was wayyyy far away from the bedrooms. Not only that but you have to walk through a few rooms and down the hallway to get to it. </p> <p>But I did love the countertop they used – it was a laminate (<em>whuuut?</em>): </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRZt0LbdZHDyj6tzn_PwA1BeTfLnEHrocJquWE1m2M3eUGzxGSsmNqe87XDO-3F61VYAWxinmVQmhHj4uyBc0QU47yP5X721aV8JisF_OgfsMWqwB4WJm09lDJkwUA7cx86pa-fmQy7Ac/s1600-h/IMG_8470%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="linen laminate" border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhDurCANTPm7Hf10oY4pyPV136T3KVcNH-KbNjnZcKSienEz_rUwMi9Y1cuN3trRG8FlNe24TkcDBDOX6lw7T235PipdS6VeIFq8SIxKZiBjtJ9IV90SHPaFVeJhotNY2W-NQOHWXP1cc/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="linen laminate" width="450" /></a></p> <p>And it looked like linen.

It just felt out of place in what is a more traditional home. It was just crying out for a big beautiful fireplace with a thick mantel. I guess this is OK too. ;) </p> <p>The outside area was awesome, I don’t know why I didn’t get a picture! You can see some of it through the family room window above.
