Revamped Florida Ranch House...

stevieb — Sat, 27 Aug 2022 17:10:10 GMT

Sorry, no 'before' shots, but it seems the new onwers wanted a ranch house near the water and reworked an older home... Aesthetically, this house doesn't exactly sing to me, but they did a nice job...

@stevieb I would never choose to begin changing my earthy home to a blue and white one, but I agree whoever chose the elements for this ranch did a great job. I especially like their outdoor choices.

Oh my, @stevieb , this one I like a lot! In fact, I'll take the headboard and French doors to the patio right now. And the living room, or at least the sofas and rug, & most of the kitchen, tho it does seem a bit overly white, and sure, the Doxie too. The yellow door at the entry is perfect.

You mention the house is near water, so to me, Florida and water can mean possible alligator visit--the only real downside.

It is a lovely home, but not my aesthetic. It isn't that common in my area, but when I was looking at homes it was a pass if there were doors in any of the bedrooms.

The outside is well manicured, but with all the critters that roam in Florida I wouldn't feel safe with all that lush greenery ready to hide them.

@stevieb I love ranchers and really really like this one and how often do I say that? lol The only thing I would change are those ugly and hard iron patio chairs to something comfy.

I love the color choices and I love blue in my home. I could be very happy in this house!

I think the house is gorgeous, the exterior shot exemplifies warmth and welcome. I painted the door to my blue ranch yellow last year so I love blue and yellow together.

The floor to ceiling windows in the dining room are beautiful as are the gauzy blue and white drapes. The mirror, chairs and matching lights add the perfect touch. Just wonderful essentials, no clutter.

The interesting choices in all of the hanging light fixtures just work.

The accents were charming, especially the lamp by the bed. And the last shot of the grounds? Heaven.

Love the little dachshund too.

The only thing not true with this house is the doors being left open, even just for the sake of picture taking, With all the snakes, geckos,. turtles and other of mother natures creatures, you could never do this ,,, lol lol

They would scurry in there so fast,, well, everything but the turtle...

@stevieb

Love the outside of the house, the french doors.....the table set outside....

I guess they wanted to keep it light and airy and "beachy", but its just too much white for me...

I dont care for some of the living room furniture. I cringe at the thought of the white covers on the dinning room chairs and what they might look like after a fews meals--even with a good detergent....But nice home nonetheless!

I like the house, but wouldn't want to live in FL with all the bugs, humidity and scary animals,

I have a gorgeous carved wood front door. I always felt it would be a sin to paint it but I'm leaning that way, if I find the right color. I love this yellow door. I'm leaning more towards a turquoise or some variation of a blue/green.

I like the house and they did do a great job remodeling but the kitchen is too stark white for me.

It could be the lighting or the camera...a pale color added to the kitchen would cut the starkness for me personally.

Some of the furniture and accessories are beautiful while I'd have to replace some others. I'd definitely have to throw some paint on the walls. I can't do a stark white interior with a "little" color thrown in.

This is Florida. Bamboo or other is not going to last long in their tornadoes, hurricanes and frequent storms. Iron might not but it will sure last longer than a wicker or bamboo.

I have a very nice mahogany door which, after 23 years, looked horrible although we tried to have it varnished or whatever it is called by the painters every 3 years. It did not stand up well after that many years, but it has the last 5 years with that European paint for outdoors. I can't remember the name. The painter has the name. He ordered it and completely sanded the door and primed it before painting and used a spray painting for it.

@Nonametoday Gee I don't recall suggesting wicker or bamboo. I've seen patio chairs made out of other things.

Sorry I said that. I did not know there were so many other things besides wood, bamboo or wicker. But I guess there are other items. Just color me dumb. My apologies.

The rooms weren't fully shown, only small areas. Few bedrooms were shown, no baths.

No way to completely understand what the home looks like.

A thousand pardons... One can't post what wasn't there to share. Besides, there's enough here to get a pretty clear sense of the home's overall vibe...
