Q

Please Don’t: I really hate skylights

Q

Photo

Design: I really want single level living, but the openness of this house is intriguing

Q

Photo

Exterior: Minimal parking; separation of public and private

Q

Photo

Interior: Materials

Q

Photo

Outdoor Kitchen: A big shallow sink like this (though with a better sprayer) for cleaning fish, veggies, etc for grilling

Q

Photo

Outdoor Kitchen: Nice layout, but it would need to be covered

Q

Photo

Outdoor Living: I could totally see us throwing dinner parties on a table like this

Q

Photo

Q

Photo

Exterior: I like the idea of sheltered walkways between spaces

Q

Photo

Outdoor Living; Love the combination of steel and dark wood in the pergola

Q

Photo

Exterior: There's something really cool about a heavy, rusted steel gate to the garden

Q

Photo

Outdoor Kitchen: Nice layout, though I'd want a bigger counter/bar to have room to prep and let people sit there.

Photo

Exterior: I love the idea of a more private, street-facing facade that then opens up as you enter the space

Photo

Exterior: Other than being greeted by the garage (not one of my favorite looks), I like the low-slung profile of this house and the colors.

Q

Photo

Powder Room: I don’t know if this fits in what we’re thinking but I love the playfulness of this powder room

Q

Photo

Master Bathroom: Natural light in the shower - bright space. Steve says way too white, Bekki’s point is the glass to outdoors

Q

Photo

Kitchen: Now THAT is an indoor/outdoor kitchen space. We both like this. Question for Anne - is having indoor/outdoor for kitchen and bar too much?

Q

Photo

Outdoor Kitchen: I think the outdoor kitchen idea here is good, but it would need to be covered

Q

Photo

Interior: Long, low fireplace

Q

Photo

Other/Miscellaneous: This staircase (if we ave to have one)

Q

Photo

Interior: Steel panels on the fireplace. Might be a little too industrial, but it's pretty cool

Q

Photo

Interior: I like the steel, the walnut, and the gray - as long as it’s concrete and not shiplap.

Q

Photo

Living Room: This feels like a modern mid-century fireplace

Q

Photo

Outdoor Living: Trellised pavilion set in the garden though it's a little too Tuscan - I'd prefer something modern, maybe in steel?

Q

Photo

Interior: I think that light fixture assembly is kind of interesting

Q

Photo

Outdoor Living: Now THAT's an indoor/outdoor space!
