[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]90's Colonial Revival Revival? I agree with PP though, what's really appealing about most of the example houses is the extravagance of the houses. Big, elegant staircases, hallways, huge windows, big kitchens. If you put all that stuff into a little 40's brick colonial outside DC, it doesn't look as good. I still love the look though. I think "colonial" will get you a long way as a search term. [/quote] Of course yes, grand homes are striking and speak for themselves but I actually think this style works well in average sized homes too. Maybe you edit more, or there is less furniture but I have seen it done well many times. I actually think smaller rooms are easier to make warm and inviting, it is easier to hit the right notes, furniture placement is often easier, etc. I actually find it really lovely when people invest in and truly care for even the most modest homes. It dignifies and elevates them and makes them special.[/quote]
