Today I am longing for the old neighborhoods of Dallas; something you cannot get out here in suburbia. We purchased pristine lake front property and have been intending to build but with the economy we are a little gun shy to pull the trigger.
Our designer, Steve Morey builds wonderful homes. Here is his kitchen that won the Architectural Digest award:
We moved from a tudor house in a trendy old neighboorhood out to the suburbs to be close to where we were building, just two days before our second child was born. This house we are in now was to be temporary but it is going on four years!!!! The house was fine for two young active boys but now that they can understand rules (not that they follow them) it is time for something nicer. The issue is I cannot fine ANYTHING that resonates with my style out here. Everything is cookie cutter, just like the neighbor's house. "Old World" Tuscan collides with David Weekly home....vomit!I did find one today that might work. It is kind of french but maybe I can mix old with new and make it work. I would have to take some of the "special finishes" off. I hate staged homes, like you are living in a theatre set. Anyway, here it is:
What do YOU think? Can I give it some old + new to make it work?Here are a few french + modern images I love :
