Toe operated vacuum thingies, where have you been all my life?
Your comments for image 17 are quite juvenile.
I’m partial to modernist architecture and pared-down interiors but this is a great reno/restoration. It’d be a damn shame if someone was dumb enough to try to tear it down.
Wow, what a beauty! Not the biggest fan of all the stark white, but that’s easily rectified. The colour in the man cave is great. Dat wainscotting tho! Daaaang. Oh, and what’s with not showing what’s past the “secret” hatch? Is it the boy cave?
Agreed. Tasteless.
What I want to know is… where does the “hatch” actually lead to? The photo captions don’t seem to make its destination terribly clear.
Other than that, love the house. Especially the dressing area of the master bedroom. That is fantastic.
