'Modern Rustic'...

stevieb — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 15:58:53 GMT

I posted one room (included below) from this home a few weeks back to mixed reviews, but since then came across a few more pictures that might be worth seeing... Personally, I find the exterior of the house sort of interesting, though it wouldn't make my top ten list of architectural styles... The interiors, for the most part, while not lacking some sort of appeal, are not a look I could embrace for my own home...

Kitchen is too small. I would have never guessed that the interior is so formal with all the drapes. Drapes = dust.

It truly is Modern Rustic and I like it, both inside and out!

I hate drapes. The whole place is too bland.

Lovely - but for me - entirely too open and too bright, too many windows.

I'm just imaging the amount of work that's required to keep that place sparkling!

I'm messy. My upholstered furniture is all black for a reason!

Cleaning all those windows?!?!?

I find inside and outside totally boring. Not for me.

I like the outside but inside.......not dog friendly at all so it's not for me. Way too much maintenance with all those windows.

I normally don't care for a mix of very different styles and this one is no exception. I love modern but nothing in this home is speaking to me. Rustic is OK....just not my preference or style. There are a few pieces I really like one of which is that coffee table/bench. The windows are beautiful as long as I didn't have to clean them. Is the kitchen really that small?????

@stevieb I do think they were successful at mixing modern and rustic in this house. Both elements modern/rustic are definitely and noticeably there. I think it is very attractive for what it is. Not altogether my style but I do like a lot of what I see.

The only things I'd consider rustic are the ceiling beams. The furnishings, accessories, etc. are strickly contemporary.

The exterior looks a bit too much like a barn to me which is not my style.

I like the interiors better, but the rooms have too much white and neutrals. Most of the furnishings are ok, but I don't like the items in the first photo at all. The family room and bedroom are nice, but I would add some color. As stated before, I don't like the hanging thing over the dining table, and it needs some more color too.

I'm ambivalent about the exterior. It might be petty, but those multiple drain pipes, combined with the straight trees, annoy my eye.

The first words that came to mind when I glimpsed the first interior photo was, "church pew." That set my opinion for most of the other shots. Other than the bedroom, which I like, the rest of the furnishings give an unwelcoming vibe. "Don't get comfortable to stay long."

Some of you were justifiably interested in the kitchen, which seems so small. Unfortunately there was no usable view of the full kitchen, but no, it's not really as small as the one kitchen view that was available to post.

I like the inside and exterior of this home.

I would just take down most of the heavy drapes. The colors are soothing and pretty. I could easily live there.

The interior does not match the exterior. I wasn't expecting all the upholstery. The furniture is stiff looking. I was expecting wood and leather. Well as they say don't judge a book by it's cover.

@stevieb The outside does have some appeal to me but I don't care for the siding and think that brick would be a better choice. The inside.....not so much. It would be interesting to see the floor plan as that piques my interest.

The outside of the home has a simple rustic appearance, but the inside is too modern rustic for me. I would have appreciated more earthy tones than the whites and light neutrals.

Not enough color for me - Too vanilla.

I am not a fan of the furnishings, too modern and blah for me. I do like drapes on the windows for privacy purposes especially in the bedroom. This house is not my taste outside or in.

Love the outside. Any house that blends in with nature is my favorite. If it were a house on an bright blue ocean, then blue would be fine. But, in the woods or trees around, the color that blends in is a favorite and I really like this house.
