That is a lovely home! It looks like it has been there for decades! I love that!

They have exceptional taste. Lovely.

Lovedey love love!

Thanks for sharing, as we don't get the paper anymore. DH and I drove by their new place on Sunday. I noticed more townhouses are under construction. Those were started around 2008, so building pretty much came to a stand still. Didn't realize that was were they moved. Their historic house was next door to the upper backyard of the house where I lived growing up. The new places looks very comfortable.

Very nicely done! I love that bold red chesterfield. Really, I love all the furniture. It has an inherited quality, nothing at all like the staged look that seems to be the only thing magazines can do lately. Awesome authenticity.

Allison, I think the intent of that development was to have only single family homes. I believe the first two or three were built prior to the crash, and then it just sat for a long time. I think the townhouses were a change in course, but they're well done. I really like them.

They did so much work on that Bessemer house. It was beautiful when they were done with it (there's a link in the article that shows it in all its holiday finery). But I totally understand why they made the move.

Love it.

I also love this rug ...

And I think I need me a crown or two for my house now. ;-)

I love their taste in decor and collectibles. Love the painting of the circus tent, the bedside lamps, and the triple shelf piece between the two bathroom sinks. I think that is very clever.

I love that place! You had me at the exterior shot. I'd love to find a place like that when I downsize someday.

That exterior shot actually makes me feel a bit better about our new big, blocky, brick house. It has some of those same architectural features. When I first laid eyes on our place, I thought it was rather awful (being used to the charm of an old home), but I've come to embrace it and it's just rather nice to see something like this and sort of have my own choices validated.

Lovely home!!! Nice job!

I'm also intrigued by this shot:

No headboard, but it didn't hit me right away that there wasn't one. This is nicely done, and I'd like to duplicate something along these lines in DH's "snore room," where he insists he does not want a headboard/footboard.

Full of gracious, beautiful details -- truly beautiful. (The photos were very well done too: good lighting, color, crispness, & composition.)

Simply beautiful, thank you for sharing.

Really nice looking. The exterior intrigues me, looking kinda 'lost in time'.

Funny how many of us have snore rooms :-)

i thought the backsplash was utilitarian but nice in the guest bath.

Wow, every detail is so lovely.

Beautiful! Is there a pocket door, though, in that bedroom where the shower is visible??

I love it!

Wonderful.
