Nelson Residence
Elizabeth: Like - Mixed siding & stone, warm, brown tones, white trim, roof line variations, smallish front porch/entry - no need for big porch or seating Dislike - barn doors on garage (although the more I look at it, the better they seem), would not be a fan of arches (the small curves here are fine) or a lot of dormers (esp. single narrow ones)
E: Like the idea of single story (10ft?) kitchen ceiling height open to great room vaulted or two story ceiling - less echo, not so cavernous as if it were all open. Like to have some overlook from 2nd floor to great room, but not necessarily the whole length or width Disklike - too much white. S: Concur.
E: Like what is included in this laundryroom/mudroom combo - side by side washer & dryer with countertop above, sink, storage cabinets, at least one tall cabinet, coat hooks, fixed bench with shoe storage Dislike: Maybe has a little more cabinetry than we need, leave some space open for possible pet items (crate, food dishes, litter box. S: I like the layout. The sink and flat areas for laundry are nice.
Elizabeth: L-shaped island - thinking sink/dishwasher on one section overlooking hearth dining area to back yard and other section with cooktop/range looking out to great room. The two places I am most in the kitchen, don't want to be looking at a wall. Like colors -warm, beiges, light tone on cabinets along wall, wood tone on island, maybe not so dark
Elizabeth likes this for the living room ceiling. Stone fireplace surround, short stone hearth, wood mantel and tv mounted above
