Anyone else LOVE this house??!!


Is it me, or is this house gorgeous!! I love the Art Deco style of this house. The warm, wood colors in the living room-- the hardwood floors. Did you see the painted blue door and wood trim in the boys' room? Stunning!!

The perfect house to be stranded in!

I would love to have a house like that when I'm older. It's just so nice and It's just such a great house.

P.S you posted that on my birthday, random fact but I'm in one of those moods.

I did love the house. I feel that this style house is used a lot in hollywood movies (I cant think of any other examples though), the porch roof seems very familiar.

I actually said that the first time I watched it with a friend of mine...of course immediately after that he accused me of being gay. Meh, I still stand by it :)

I guess the interior of the house was good, but I like how big the house is. Once I'm older, I'm designing my house around that size.

I understand this topic is stale but wanted to add a little to it. FYI, the home style is arts & craft although I suppose it could also be considered craftsmen style. What's so interesting and beautiful about the woodwork is what's called a "cloud lift." It requires considerable more time, labor and material but the look is unique. I just rewatched the movie again specifically to enjoy the home.

I have no doubt it's expensive but here's an example of an available cloud lift door: http://www.extraordinarydoors.com/photos/001.jpg

I love this house. No harm in adding more detailed info, TheCheezWhiz, so thanks. It looks like a Greene & Greene which are in the Pasadena area. I am in love with this architecture.

Cool comments. Thanks for sharing. :)

I hate this style of house. It's the "crafts" style and you see it a lot in movies and TV. Isn't this the same house they shoot "Numbers" at?

Can't stand all that wood, wooden floors, wooden everything. Not comfortable.
