What a Pretty Exterior...

Not many great shots of the interior, but loving the look of this house from the outside. From Victoria magazine.

Oh, I am totally in love! I love the outside and the clever use of crystal in the ombre use of pink in the cabinets!

Love the sitting room, very charming!

Many thanks!

Love the charming outside, the cottage and shabby chic elements inside, the sweet color palette, the luxuriously tall baseboards-- would just remove the signs.

@stevieb I love the little roofs over the 2nd floor windows.

The furniture in the house looks dirty & nasty, especially the kitchen. The only things missing are the ants & roaches crawling out of the nooks & nannys.

Gorgeous outside and inside! I too love the shabby chic furniture and the interior color pallet is right up my ally.

I really like the glimpse into the dining room of the shabby chic chest with the mirror, sconces and pink floral arrangement (I want that whole set-up).

I love the exterior of this home and much of the interior. The only thing that I would want to change quickly is the foundation landscaping. I prefer a more manicured look.

I like the home, but I prefer a more manicured outdoors as well. I would replace some of the bushes for a flower garden under the windows, or else replace with more manicured bushes and shrubs. I am not a fan of shabby chic furniture either, but love the rooms!!!

Interesting how some people prefer more manicured lawns/lots. I was discussing this with my DH during a walk around our neighborhood the other day.

Some of the lots are highly manicured with perfect lawns and spaced plants/bushes. A lot of these seem too perfectly coiffed and kind of dated looking, really....maybe just the ones we were discussing.

I much prefer the look of a more natural lawn with native plants and dislike green lawns for the most part. I like it to look like the house was plopped in the middle of nature but I do love the look of some manicured French and English gardens....so I guess it depends....

Both the exterior and interior don't really appeal to me.

I think the outside is beautiful and I like the casual landscaping. However, I think I would prefer a different roof color. I would go with a black (ish) roof and choose a statement color for the front door.

Roaches? Really?

@faeriemoon I was thinking the exact same thing. I have a white house with a dark gray roof.

Maybe landscaping preferences are a regional thing or at the very least the difference between living where lot sizes are very small to living where your house sits on more land.

As a courtesy to our city neighbors, we always kept a very manicured lot. My husband and our next door neighbor were in a competition to see who had the best looking yard (all in fun).

The landscaping I circled below is one of my ideosyncrasies--a bush right in front of a window. Who wants to look out a window to see that?

I didn't see anything dirty in this house. The white furniture couldn't get any whiter. The house from what pictures I saw was very clean.
