I only like the porch, the rest of it looks like it must smell like mothballs.


 

@MoonieBaby   Did you read the text?  This is a young couple who had the house redone.

Yea, but it still looks stale to me - in a real way, a stinky way.

sorry...

BTW - Here in the South the porch ceiling color is often referred to as ‘Haint Blue.’  The ‘haint’ being a word for haunt.  Another useless bit of information.


@Drythe   I learned about that a few years ago when I had a porch.  Some friends owned a very successful paint-decor business.  When I asked the owner's wife about colors for my porch, she said "of course, the ceiling has to be haint blue."  I puzzled for a minute and she explained it.  The house I had chosen the color for was a very faint buttery yellow with a cadet blue door and brass hardware so the ceiling of the porch was lovely in haint blue.

Thanks!

We bring it right out, let it rock on the front porch, and wave

It's certainly a beautiful home with beautiful rooms and furnishings, that being said, it's way too large for my taste. I wouldn't want to own a place like that even if I could afford it.

Thank you @Oznell. I love everything about this home, although I do believe I would need help getting in and out of the tub 😊!
