I say lets start with redesigning those horrible "Street Signs" and work our way up. (I must have that turquoise piece!) Lance is spot on.

I meant not overwrought. :) I completely disagree with Al though. Who is anyone to say one can or can't build the home of their dreams where they want to? A home like this would only help to increase the value of a cookie cutter bungalow. Perhaps a gated community on a golf course or town home community would be better suited to someone who wants to squash an artists dreams by enforcing silly rules to pander to a self-appointed board's design aesthetic of a front porch, stone facade and those horrible green "children at play SLOW DOWN!" signs. :) ACK! I meant not overwrought. :)

Unfortunately this obviously wasn't a concern with the designers or owner and are now left with an eyesore deviating away from the charm Barton Heights offers. Great house, disgusting placement.

Ask me how happy I was to see a towel hanging in the bathroom, toilet paper somewhat in view, electrical cords in the office, a tea kettle in the kitchen and a kitchen table with real fruit and a vase of flowers. Holy mackerel, I love it! WOW Finally a ‘frick-en’ [Thanks F-J] house that looks real and lived in!

This is simply a wonderful, wonderful house that is not boring, it's overwrought and is full of warmth and just the right tough of modern and mid-century modern. I agree.

A great modern design without looking too sterile. The shell is flexible enough to accomodate any century art or furniture pieces. Very elegant and comfy looking. Very slick.
