[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering at the posters who insist that the remodel is really well done. If you want to argue that the materials are high quality, fine, I can't tell. But the design isn't just from a different era, it's fighting with the original architecture. It's what bugged me about the Joanna Gaines show.[/quote]

The original architecture is all but gone and dwarfed by the expansion at any rate. I think you and most posters are objecting to the new exterior architecture not matching, stylistically, the interior. Which I get. But the reason you can think that is they built basically a new house but made sure that all of the new sections, from the outside, totally worked with the character of the neighborhood and even the small lot.

[b]They did such a good job[/b], you all are believing this is an old house with a new interior. But it’s not. [/quote]

Please stop saying this.

You know who used to do a good job with renovations/expansions? Morris-Day. I'm not asking people to live Iike they're in Colonial Williamsburg; if they want modern conveniences and a modern aesthetic, go for it. But this is bad.[/quote]

I'm admittedly puzzled by posters who write "please stop saying this" as if they have some kind of authority. They don't. Taste is always subjective. But as someone with a sophisticated appreciation for design and architecture and who greatly respects historic architecture, I rather like this house and find that the exterior renovation was well done. Especially by the standards of the early 1990s. Sure, I'd change the staircase and fireplace mantel but there's not much else I'd need to do with the house. Interior decoration will take care of the rest. [/quote]
