I want to do an island like this with the counter material waterfall down to the floor, facing the living room.

Q

Photo

I like this a lot, but probably too contemporary for the neighborhood. I would like to blend in more than this.

Q

Photo

Like the materials, shapes, windows

Q

Photo

Love the materials, shapes, window shapes

Q

Photo

Love the materials of this entry

Q

Photo

As we discussed, I like the idea of maybe doing the wall behind the stairs in a different texture/finish.

Q

Photo

Another possibility for the back elevation. We like the two different finishes, the windows, the changes in depth, and the two of windows on the left side (similar to where our staircase is)

Q

Photo

This would be a very cool window feature to add somewhere.

Q

Photo

Like the windows and pane size. Brick wouldn’t work here for us, but stone would. I like the ratio if window to space around the window for the back elevation.

Q

Photo

Like the mix of window styles—some large panes, some broken up

Q

Photo

Like the windows

Q

Photo

Love the mix of materials here. One of our favorite photos. Good job mixing the right amount of wood with other contemporary.

Q

Photo

Like the wood beams (maybe more of them), ,wood floors.

Q

Photo

Carrie would like a seat under a window like this in kids rooms. Not a must.

Q

Photo

Carrie loves the carpet in this one. I like the wall behind the headboard and the windows, as well as the gap in the top right corner between ceiling and wall.

Q

Photo

We like the wood and the metal. It’s close to something we would like, but this is a little too minimalist. Don’t like the floor for our city. A cozier version of this would be great.

Q

Photo

Jordan likes this more than carrie. We both like the two tiers of windows (small top, bigger bottom). Again, a little too minimalist for our taste.

Q

Photo

Don’t want something this monochromatic, but we like the stone, floors and general look. Would probably pick a different cabinet color.

Q

Photo

Love the idea of wood in the kitchen, but maybe not this variety of wood

Q

Photo

Love the floors, counters and counter base materials. The cabinets are not for us (not so flat—different cabinet doors). Like the windows. These materials come closest to what we would pick.

Q

Photo

We love the shapes and the wood on this one. We don’t like the materials for us. But love how interesting the shapes are on the front.

Q

Photo

I like the metal above the windows, the change in depth from the left portion and the main portion of the house. I don’t like how much this would stand out compared to the neighbors. I don’t want it to be a contemporary house that contrasts . I want it to have some elements that make it fit the neighborhood. We can go more contemporary on the front and interior—less on the back where it will be above most neighbors.

Q

Photo

This is the feel i’ve Wanted with a big window at the end of our bath. Carrie has doubts about that much window. I think switchable glass may be the compromise. Still discussing. We aren’t talking about anything but the window and layout (we don’t want all white or these materials).

Q

Photo

We like the floors, ceilings, fireplace materials, windows.

Q

Photo

We like the ceiling and various heights. We like the floor. Don’t love the kitchen style for us. Like the stone idea on the wall, but not that particular tile.

Q

Photo

We like ceiling and openness of the transition to the balcony area. We like the idea of the wall treatment (stone?) but not that particular color and texture.

Q

Photo

We like the wood on the ceiling that makes it feel warmer. But this is too much wood for us—not ceiling and walls and cabinets. A little less. Also we like the change in elevation of the ceiling—not flat.
