The button slipcovers are delicous..a wonderful touch. The striped seat against a solid background looks smashing in this setting.

Love the beam...actually have one in my kitchen..but sometimes they can weight down a standard height room. Love how all the photos seem to have higher ceilings. Thanks for the Atlanta mag tip. Trish

I just read your first comment. You truly have the eye and creativity of a designer. I had once chosen a textured carpet with a diamond pattern along with 2 others to bring to my clients home. When I got there, I noticed that her millwork had accents of a diamond pattern in the doors which would now be repeated in the area rug. Something I had not consciously picked up on the first time I was there. That's when you know you should keep your day job :)

You most definitely have that gift as well! Love this room and especially the large stripe on that chair!

I am not a fan of Tuscan, but I like this. Your title is good - just a touch of Tuscan - but the right touch, the light touch. It works!

It's a very sophisticated design. It's not crowded, and not minimalistic either. Just right.

2009-09-03T17:01:59.558-04:00

Absolutely beautiful home. Tuscan and Spanish style architecture has become really popular hear in Houston in the last decade or so, totally eclipsing Georgian as the design of choice for both surbanites and their urban counterparts. That said, I think it can often come off as a bit hooky or theme-y for me, but this space really mixes it up in terms of style and doesn't read as trying to look like the house is straight out of some Tuscan fantasy.

What a beautiful home. I love the living room. It is very serene and the painting over the fireplace is very calming as well. I'll have to check out that magazine... I was just thinking yesterday how sad it was that Southern Accents went kaput. Thanks for sharing.

You had me at Tuscan but this is my favorite kind. You mentioned that it's a lighter brighter version, yet still has the rustic charm of the beams and finishes. Great post!

The pictures are stunning. I love the button detail on the slipcovers.

2009-09-03T10:32:26.499-04:00

Thank you for the insight - I think I like this home because of its nice architecture (the casual elegance of it, the windows, the beams) and because of its color palette. I do not like rich tones - rich yellows, reds, oranges - but the palette of this house is nice and light, textured, and appealing to me. There is not too much dark wood everywhere you look, which is often in the Americanized version of Tuscan. I wonder what the kitchen looks like?

Linda, I see you went to the website for the community! I did not go to this showhouse (I tend to only go to the ones inside the perimeter, which is the loop that surrounds Atlanta), but I would love to see this community in person. It looks like the community was designed with retirees in mind - people who don't want the maintenance of a big yard, but want a beautiful home and a beautiful environment. From what I can tell, the community looks like a little village in Italy at the base od a mountain range (I believe this community is in the foothills of the mountains). The website says there are 1 acre lots available, though.

* Now THIS is totally charming and it "feels" soooo "barefoot comfy"! (The true test for me!)~~~ Everything marries up so beautifully AND livably... and the colors (or should I say "NON-colors"?) in the MBR I find stunning!!!

I AM curious to know if the CLOSENESS of the houses bothers/concerns anyone else. Obviously aware of the cost, I still believe it's WORTH paying the larger amount of $$$ to have more "breathing space" and privacy~~~ anyone else feel that way?

As always, a beautiful journey into a wonderful home full of great style & taste!!!

Many sincere thanks,
Linda in AZ *

2009-09-03T10:06:22.227-04:00

I love this twist on the Tuscan style. I've always seen the deeper warm tones, but it is lovely to see the cooler, lighter colors.

I'm definitely going to have to look into the Atlanta H&L. I'm missing all my magazines!

Thanks!
