@SactoSue ,  the table top is all of a piece.  Jason just has a slim runner going the length of his.

The pictures on the Arhaus site show this "Jacob" modern table better.  It comes with either a solid walnut, or solid oak top, and an iron base, and was one of his splurges.

Ultra contemporary, but I rather like it for him, with his modern style.

@shoekitty ,  that's an excellent description-- that's how I reacted to it too, somewhat to my surprise.  "Soft modern",  when it concerns itself with being comfortable, can be soothing, as you say, and very liveable.

I love this home.  Beautiful.

I love a good contemporary/modern interior but this was not quite enough for me.  There are a lot of architectural details I noticed that aren't modern. I love the exterior but knew by looking at it that it would fall short.

His kitchen is beautiful and there are some other beautiful items throughout but I'd probably want to change out quite a bit.  Overall, it's very nice...just not how I would choose to renovate and redecorate.

These are so much fun to "peak" inside.  Thanks Oznell!

I know it's for staging, but I really hate seening tables set with dishes and glassware.  All I can think of is dust and germs and that they'd all have to be washed again before putting them away. 

White interior is not my preference - I spill too many things.  I like a house that can handle a bit of wear and tear. 

Love his pooches.

Nice pool.

I like the dogs!  But the interior is not "contemporary" enough for me. Looks too traditional.

[Oznell]

Interesting you should say that about the architectural details not 'matching up'  with the modernity of his style, @shoptilyadropagain , and @kaydee50 .  Valid point.

I too, wondered when I saw the sort of vaguely Mediterranean/ French look of the house, if I would like his contemporary touches.  The arched windows and internal openings, kitchen, the fireplace, etc. are not contemporary.

Normally, I do like when the architecture of a dwelling is consistent with the interior design.  But in this case I didn't mind-- I thought the occasional traditional aspects of the house further "softened" the modern elements.  But that's my own bias toward traditional things showing!

I bet this RH showroom below is more your speed, with the windows, hearth and all the architecture making a more consistently modern backdrop, to the modern furniture and decor.

The powder room is both functional and a vignette at the same time.  I like the primitive look there and the elements go so well together - the neutral colors, the round satin brass(?) frame mirror, the bronze(?) wall fixtures, the rounded live-edge wood countertop, the rustic (river rock?) bowl basin, and the gradient vase with the hole.

Overall, his home seems comfortable and he did a nice job.  The house is in a beautiful setting - really like the greenery views, and the pond views.

It's difficult to make out what's happening on that table.

It almost looks like there is exposed wood on the opposite side and that the tablecloth is more of a linen "runner" covering the center of the table.

It appears to me there is no slab of wood, just exposed wood from the DR table and the table has a runner down the middle, not a tablecloth.  @Oznell  Please correct me if I am wrong.  I just don't seem to be able to identify a slab of wood floating around in the DR.

I think he should have graduated at the top of her class.  I am not a big fan of every item and all the decor, but for what he wanted and his vision, he has done a splendid job.  I have to say "I give him chops" for a professional result.
