Though her bedrooms are at opposite ends of the house, the exterior looks almost identical. I think those "concrete trellis things" are there to block sunglight while allowing the light to get through, but I have no idea what they're called. Concrete trellis things works for me. I'm loving those windows and doors, and I'm dying to move to a one story house.Bonniehttp://savoringsimplicity.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-5667996287003832242009-10-02T21:12:12.160-04:002009-10-02T21:12:12.160-04:00Ooo--that's really neat!

The sense of living there doesn't come through in pictures. The media focuses on "wow" looks, as if humans are a bother.<br /><br />I get a better sense if I can see the floor plans. The same goes for landscaping.<br /><br />I've become much less of a style (and music) bigot as I've grown up. I can't categorically name my style(s). It's most fun to encounter a great place for the first time with as few preconceptions as possible. If I don't like a style so much, it's probably because I haven't experienced the best in that style.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154846109609330503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-82212798642440587852009-10-02T12:20:41.143-04:002009-10-02T12:20:41.143-04:00We think you're using the right term in referr...We think you're using the right term in referring to them as concrete trellis. And we really like those. <br /><br />FYI, we hear you on the mid-century show place houses. Granted we've featured a few show place ones on our own site (like Shia LaBeouf's and Tony Curtis'), but Mid-century happens to be our favorite style, and we like Dave and Debbie's just fine too. <br /><br />There are a couple of books out about ranches that include modest ones. They should check out a few.<br /><br />The only critique we have is, it looks like the double front entry is not only an obvious replacement, but looks entirely wrong for the house. We envisioned an opening between the trellises with recessed doors and possibly an iron gate.<br /><br />Anyway, we'd take anything on the beach--so we're jealous!<br /><br />--CDHQwww.CelebrityDigsHQ.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12554433078719455950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-44174302609495902912009-10-02T11:48:29.547-04:002009-10-02T11:48:29.547-04:00Brise-soleil?

(I was about 9 years old! - and brise-soleil ALWAYS reminds me of that little crab that I probably should not have tried to keep as a pet.)Trish @TheOldPostRoadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05750631661364717145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-50238807423206447552009-10-02T09:13:31.847-04:002009-10-02T09:13:31.847-04:00Thanks Spencer
