I'm in the mood.... to see some awesome architecture and interior design pics! House porn makes me happy. So, what would your ideal house look like?

Well, this is the house I linked to on the "ridiculous" thread. The interior decorating choices aren't ones I'd make (except for the dog pictures, I want ALL the dog artwork), but I LOVE it's outdoor spaces, the exterior, and the grand staircase. this is seriously the house I dreamed about when I was a kid. I was going to be some hot-shot partner at a corporate law firm in NYC, and this was going to be my house in NJ or NY state. The colors, the lawn - everything. Love the leopard print stairs!!!

For this house, I am totally charmed by the gas fireplace in the kitchen.

For all of you baseball fans, Kirby Puckett's former house just sold, & images posted of the inside were just stunning! How would you like this entryway?

this seems relatively basic (or maybe it's just an example of how not-fancy my dwellings have been, lol), but for my ideal home I would like all major appliances to be recessed or built into the kitchen. I HATE putting the microwave anywhere - it should always be hanging over the stove with one of those circulation fans at the bottom. Dishwasher, oven, trash compactor, etc. - all need to be built into the cabinets or wall.

busymom, it's beautiful but I don't feel like I could live comfortably inside. I love open and luxurious spaces, but they need to feel welcoming and home-y. White marble (I assume) flooring doesn't seem welcoming to me, at least not for flooring in an entryway.

I agree with you, MJ2.0, that anything white won't stay that way if you have kids or a dog.

Did I mention that I hate it? Maybe because I'm short and clumsy, or too many years of small kids, that is the worst possible idea to me. I've never had to deal with it though. Just at mom's and my sisters' houses.

Shane, that house is so cute! And I love how updated the interior is! I don't know if I've ever seen a home that color.

I'd still rather have the microwave on the counter. I burn myself less that way.

I'd put in different chairs in the media room. Of course, Kirby passed away a number of years ago, & I'm guessing the kids have grown up, & that's probably why the house went up for sale. I think his cabin also sold a year or two back. It's always interesting, though, to see how the "other half" lives.

Wasn't sure if the link would work. I love Tudors (homes). I also love these.

the front is everything!!!! I love the firepit area in the back, but yeah - it needs some kind of grassy area.

For the record, the green Tudor sold for a little over $750k, which was about $110k over what it was listed for, though only about $30k over what Redfin estimated it would go for.
The brick Tudor sold for $760k, which was $90k over list, but almost $40k under what Redfin estimated it would go for.

I will play with house porn after my hair cut. There are so many awesome homes in Chestnut Hill, Mt Airy, and Fairmount sections of Philly. Sigh...
